PMDG has announced the highly anticipated 737-700 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is now available.

The package includes the 737-700 passenger version the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) and the 737-700 BDSF freighter with a main deck cargo door. Each variant sports all new models and textures, a completely new sound environment and a plethora of improvements and fixes.

Other highlights include a highly realistic system simulation for all major and minor aircraft systems, a bespoke flight model with enhanced physics and rigid body physics for the wing and tail surfaces.

The flight deck sports ultra-high detail textures and 3D rendering with reflective properties and accurate cockpit displays. Cockpit differences between the passenger, cargo and BBJ aircraft are also accurately rendered. Like previous PMDG aircraft, the 737 has interchangeable equipment options for the cockpit instrumentation and options that matches the global 737 fleet.

A failures simulation covers nearly all QRH scenarios and a real-world mean time to failure simulations model. Native PMDG datalink simulation compatible with simBrief integration is also possible.

Ground equipment for each aircraft type includes passenger service vehicles, VIP vehicles for the BBJ and cargo handling equipment for the BDSF and a driveable pushback tug.

Pending future updates to the PMDG 737-700:

• The PMDG-EFB (cockpit tablet) remains in development and will be added during summer'22 in a free update.
• High-resolution cabin models and landing gear bay interiors for all 737 variants remain in development and will be added during maintenance updates.
• New features added to Microsoft Flight Simulator will be made available within the 737 via free updates (weather radar, for example).
