Lets keep everything crossed 
I’m guessing it’s not the aircraft quality that’s causing the problem, it’s probably the way that the complex systems are implemented - something that perhaps isn’t an issue with CaptainsSim aircraft? 
Microsoft will be focused on making sure that the aircraft doesn’t cause problems with the Xbox infrastructure or create a security risk (Xbox is a closed system whereas the PC is open).
I can’t wait for PDMG 737 planes to arrive on Xbox.

I was really optimistic until i received that reply from robert 
Im not sure because even robert said they didnt anticipate any further roadblocks from MS now so im not sure what it could be 
Perhaps just chill and be hopeful, they said end of April, just relax and let them get on with the testing.
You are almost setting yourself up for disappointment. Don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m just saying that you should perhaps not worry so much, lol.

Is there a way to enter barometric minimums through FMC? Using rotary to go from 200 to 8040 (SEQM airport) takes ages!
No, that’s not possible in the 737

I’m usually lazy and dial in the Radio Altimeter minimum, which I know isn’t optimal for non-flat terrain during the approach.
That said, I’m guessing Spad.neXt and other similar products might have a way to map a key or control to that setting. ???
I use Spad to map that function to a button on my yoke…great for those high altitude airports. Setting baro minimums for a place like Denver or Cusco is a PITA with just a mouse wheel.
I’m really starting to think that Spad.next is around the corner for me. I have a the Saitek Multi and Switch panels, and they definitely need some custom mappings.
What function is there that will set the required minimums via a button mapped in Spad?
More progress for us xbox users

So they wanted to give the livery pack for free but couldn’t (which is understandable and explained why) so they’re now charging $4.99, why not just charge us $0.01..?

It’s because $4.99 is supposedly the minimum price MS will accept. This reasoning from MS is also bizarre and inconsistent because there are library addons in marketplace right now that are free, which makes me think they just don’t want Xbox users to get free liveries. This isn’t on PMDG at all though, they’ve done great work given the constraints.

No i agree it has nothing to do with pmdg

That makes sense, it’s a shame PMDG can’t package the liveries into the purchase of the 737 so you’re “paying” for it that way but actually getting it free and paying for the aircraft (if that makes sense).

I think its because if they include the liveries in the package the package becomes to big in size for the xbox to accept
It‘s my understanding that the difference lies between the necessity of these libraries being installed (the addon won‘t work without them) and the added value of the liveries. The airplane will work just well without the liveries.
Still. Shady behaviour by MS.
