Because No-one would buy the 600. And it is a cheap way for someone to try PMDG to see if they are worth the hype.

Uninstall PMDG and liveries via PMDG Operations Center v2 - after that go to
c:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-738
Delete files:
.cache
.dll
.lib

Restart PC
Launch PMDG Operations Center v2 and install 737-800
Can a VNAV profile be pre-programmed in a 737 and 777 MCDU?
With giving exact altitudes to specific waypoints and the airplane following the altitude of these waypoints by autopilot, and starting to descent on the top of descent automatizied?
I love to pre-calculate an exact flight route with specific descent rates, until reaching a perfect 10nm and 3000ft over airport altitude over mean sea level to catch the ILS.
Yes you can enter altitudes next to each waypoint and press execute. This will override the default altitude that was entered there. Keep the plane in Vnav and it will fly whatever altitudes you’ve entered at that waypoint. It will also automatically descend at T/D as long as you’ve set the MCP altitude lower than your cruising ALT.

Hi folks, back to flying this aircraft again after being gone for a while and have an issue that prevents me from flying. My cargo doors won’t close. I’m sure that this is a simple fix, but cannot put the aircraft into a state where I can do that.
Did you select the belt loaders to be gone first? They have to go before the doors will close.
Are Control settings Livery dependent??
When I chose my KLM 737 Livery my (keyboard / Mouse) controls work normally but when I change livery to Ryanair most of the controls don’t respond.
I thought it might have been caused by the PMDG settings in the FMC (config) panel but even when I transfer the Aircraft settings from my KLM to the Ryanair the controls still don’t respond.
I also rebooted FS2020 several times but the problem remains.
Thanks for your thoughts (and a solution?)
Not much help, but not livery dependent for me.

Ehm… I really like the vertical awareness display with this cool eighties vector graphics style 3D rendering of mountains and terrain height map in the 737, will the 777 feature the same display function?
No. This feature is not present in the real world 777.
If the 747-8i comes to MSFS, it should be included.

Only the Queen of the Skies has this? It may take a while until release in 2026.
Well in this case it is good that the 737-8 cockpit overhaul is now finished - to have a worthy cockpit around this awesome vertical terrain awareness feature.
Of course it needs some testing under various lighting conditions, and upload is tonight

Yes you can. But you may not have a waypoint on the path that is exactly 10 NM away from the airport or at 10NM from the airport 3000ft may not be possible due to terrain.
You can change the alts on the right side. If you see for example:
BDY 280/12000
You can change that by entering e.g. 250/9000 and if the plane can it will be at 250kts at 9000 ft.
If you just want to change the alt you can just input /9000
Another thing is the use of A/B meaning if you put in 250/9000B it will then be at that speed and ALT Below (usually for Climb)
Likewise if you input 250/9000A then it will get to that speed and alt before it hits that waypoint.
You can certainly do what you are asking, but it might not be possible or realistic due to the STAR or terrain etc.
I mean have a look at the chart for the Las Vegas 26R Approach.
Condy is the start of the ILS and it is 3800 at 5.4 miles to the runway.
Between HAWKO and BJORG you have a mandatory 4700 Alt restriction then you got to drop 900 ft in 3.1 miles which isn’t bad, but what I am trying to say IRL you can’t assume it is always 10 NM @ 3000ft. Also less we forget the airport elevation is at 2181ft so the Glide slope is quite short if you start at 3800ft,
Of Course this can all be overridden by ATC, but just as an example, and maybe a real pilot would give you better guidance.

Didn’t know those even existed. I’ll try that.
(Nevermind).
Nevermind what?
Thanks for the info 
and it is possible to create custom waypoints in a certain distance, distance rings also help by doing so, here are some advanced tricks:
And I like that overhead panel, it does not look so… “reduced” with so many empty dummy plugs where gauges and indicators should be, but has a Kerosene temperatur gauge, an exhaust gas gauge for the APU, but the ground power ampere gauges are still missing:
Maybe PMDG will give an option for a more complete overhead panel like this one

I have no idea what you’re talking about because the PMDG 737 overhead panel looks almost exactly like that.
Just on my way from Johannesburg to Nairobi in the 737-800.
Ehm… sorry my fault, confused the NG with all the MAX videos I have watched where many of these gauges are missing. That´s why I thought the NG has many of this gauges missing too.
How embarrassing… should fly Boeing more and memorize that overhead panel!
