FS2004 - PMDG Boeing 737 NG Latest Updated Download For Computer







































I have been a PMDG fan for many years and I have flown all of their 737's from the original FS2002 version to the NGX which was released in 2008. I am a bit late in reporting on the release of the 737-800/900/BBJs but I flew them when they were released and over time, I learned that there are some quirks that only after you fly them for a while do they come to your attention. One is that when you configure an external view, it would be great if you could make it much larger by turning up your monitor zoom or using a projector instead. Another is that if you are trying to extend your range, it would be great if the fuel flow was adjustable so you could optimize for less fuel usage. And of course, I would love to hear the FMC sounds from the 1st class cabin instead of the cockpit. These are little things that do not really detract from the product or make it unusable but these are real world things I think would make the experience more realistic and add to one's enjoyment of these wonderful planes. These planes are complete and very comprehensive and to me they represent the ultimate Boeing 737. I would like to tell you that I found them all to be perfect and recommend them without qualification but......I have to report that I found a couple of issues with certain features that could be improved to make these planes even more useful. Also, it has been reported by many people that the PMDG 737's do not perform as well as other dedicated 737 users who fly them so, there is a widespread feeling out there among the community of users such as myself that something is not quite right. Some people have reported that the PMDG 737's are not very realistic. First, when you look at a real world 737 from any angle, you will see a much more blended wing leading edge. The PMDG 737 NGx has a much more "tapered" leading edge which is apparently much more realistic in theory but I wonder how well it works in practice. Also, there is a much greater difference in the area of the nose wheel wells between the PMDG and other users who have invested a lot of time into their 737's to make them "more real". The nose wheel wells on the PMDG appear to be very large which would not seem realistic. The 737 nose wheel wells are small compared to other real world planes, some of which are only 14 feet long. The precise dimensions of the Rolls Royce RB211-524B engine installed in the PMDG 737 NGx is very different than what I found in my manual's data. When you look at a real world RB211-524B, it has less thrust than the one that is installed in the PMDG NGx. This shows that there is an imbalance between how much thrust does each engine produce on an aircraft. eccc085e13
