The first 737 flew in 1967. Boeing retained the six-abreast fuselage width familiar from its earlier jets while placing two engines under the wing. The aircraft subsequently developed through the Original, Classic, Next Generation and MAX generations.
Engines, displays and systems differ between the early 737-200, the 737-800 and the 737 MAX. Simulator products add another layer of variation, from bundled aircraft to specialist implementations with their own failures, options and documentation.

A cross-country flight in the MAX 9
Bedell’s MAX 9 trip begins with a familiar cockpit wrapped around noticeably larger displays. He describes the same confined working space, overhead switches and trim wheels he knew from earlier 737s, alongside quieter engines and small practical improvements such as extra cupholders and glareshield buttons. The longer engine-start sequence and stronger idle thrust were immediately apparent during preparation and taxi.
Once airborne, he found the initial climb unhurried, although intermediate level-offs prevented a clean comparison. Cruise was where the newer aircraft impressed him: he recorded lower fuel consumption, a quieter cockpit and an arrival ahead of schedule with more fuel than planned. He also preferred its behaviour during full-flap approaches. These are observations from one flight and his operating experience, rather than a controlled performance trial or a general assessment of every MAX variant.
Trading the fighter mission for an airline flight
Wooten describes a striking change in what occupied his attention after leaving the US Air Force in early 2022. In the F-15E, he had concentrated on tactics and employing the aircraft. In the 737, the conversation centred on departure, arrival, weather and giving passengers a smooth journey. He remembers the surprise of making his first actual 737 landing with a cabin full of passengers after the airline’s simulator-based preparation.
That experience did not mean there was nothing left to learn. He was still developing familiarity with the avionics and a new set of cockpit habits, helped by the airline’s mentoring process. The working relationships felt different too: a captain and first officer might share a trip and never meet again, unlike a close-knit fighter squadron.
Learning a lighter touch after the MD-80
The author recalls arriving for the first 737 trip after weeks of ground school, simulator sessions and checks, aware that the passengers could not know it was their pilot’s first flight in the actual aircraft. A check airman accompanied the three-day period of initial operating experience. After many years on the MD-80, the move had been a deliberate search for a new challenge, and confidence grew noticeably between the first and final approaches.
The greatest handling adjustment was learning to use smaller, lighter inputs. The author also welcomed the electronic displays and automated loading of route, weather and loading information, while admitting that the data-entry sequence still required care. Landings took longer to become satisfying, especially as the instructor varied flap settings and the sight picture changed. The account describes the process of becoming comfortable in a new type; its comparisons are the writer’s personal impressions.

The factory starting point selects Boeing 737-800 across MSFS 2024, X-Plane 12, X-Plane 11, MSFS 2020.
Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. Directed aerodynamic loading is omitted.
Pitch-trim relief is off. Autopilot following is enabled for supported control references.
Esta revisión exacta aún no está habilitada para su instalación pública.
Controls and trim
The 737's aileron feel uses a cam, roller and spring-centering unit with breakout and gradient that stays constant with airspeed. Pitch artificial feel differs, so the total pitch-to-roll effort balance can change with speed. PMDG's NG introduction also distinguishes electric-trim limits by model and flap state, and CWS from CMD. Those NG details are not automatically MAX, Classic or early-737 interface evidence.
Pitch and roll feel
The aircraft’s documented roll spring is speed-independent. This revision uses a shared profile airspeed response where enabled; it does not provide a separate measured pitch-versus-roll feel schedule.
About the values
The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.
Master gain & control system
Master gain100%
La escala final de salida global aplicada a todo lo que produce el modelo, antes del tope del dispositivo.
Más: todo (muelle, cargas, efectos) se refuerza a la vez.
Menos: todo se suaviza a la vez.
Por qué aquí: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
Forces
Spring strength20%
La fuerza base de centrado que devuelve la palanca al centro. Todas las demás fuerzas se apilan sobre ella. Demasiado baja y la palanca se siente floja en vuelo normal; demasiado alta y lucha contra tu mano y enmascara las señales más pequeñas superpuestas.
Más: un centrado más firme que resiste más la mano.
Menos: una palanca más blanda que depende solo de la carga aerodinámica.
Por qué aquí: The fixed roll-feel mechanism and separate pitch artificial feel motivate distinct axis balance; an aerodynamic scale alone cannot describe total pitch/roll effort. The baseline spring is 0.2. Low-speed spring blending is off.
PMDG 737 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)Spring deadband0%
Una pequeña zona neutra alrededor del centro donde el muelle queda en silencio, para que los movimientos mínimos en reposo no traqueteen. Más ancha es más tranquila pero más suelta; más estrecha es más precisa pero puede vibrar en el centro.
Más: un centro más tranquilo pero más suelto, con más holgura.
Menos: un centro más apretado que puede vibrar en reposo.
Por qué aquí: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Forces · Center starting force0.08
Por qué aquí: Adds smoothly ramped resistance outside the centre deadband. Zero removes this preload.
Overall aerodynamic load0%
Una escala maestra sobre ambas cargas sostenidas de eje, aplicada antes de su equilibrio independiente. Los perfiles normalmente la dejan quieta y ajustan las dos cargas de eje.
Más: ambos ejes cargan más fuerte.
Menos: ambos ejes se aligeran a la vez.
Por qué aquí: The 0 gain omits sustained directed airspeed loading. Spring resistance remains independent.
Spring engagement full122 kt
La velocidad a la que el muelle alcanza su fuerza plena. Entre el inicio y este punto, el centrado se endurece progresivamente a medida que el flujo de aire crece sobre los mandos.
Por qué aquí: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Centre firmness vs speed100%
Cuánto se endurece el propio centrado con la velocidad, además de las cargas por deflexión. Cero mantiene constante la sensación de centro; más hace que la palanca centre más duro en crucero y más suelta en el circuito.
Más: un centro que endurece claramente con la velocidad.
Menos: una sensación de centro constante a cualquier velocidad.
Por qué aquí: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 1. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 122 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 7.8.
Centre stiffening cap7.8
El límite superior del endurecimiento de centro por velocidad, para que el vuelo muy rápido no pueda tensar el muelle sin freno.
Más: más endurecimiento total permitido a alta velocidad.
Menos: el endurecimiento se corta antes.
Por qué aquí: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
Aileron load180%
La carga sostenida de alabeo por deflexión de alerones y velocidad, equilibrada con independencia del cabeceo. Junto con la carga del timón de profundidad fija la relación de armonía de mandos de la que hablan las reseñas.
Más: esfuerzos de alabeo más pesados.
Menos: alerones más ligeros y vivos.
Por qué aquí: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 1.8 and 0.9, respectively. These stored weights do not create directed aerodynamic loading while that term is inactive. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator load90%
La carga sostenida de cabeceo por deflexión del timón de profundidad y velocidad, equilibrada con independencia del alabeo. Es la palanca principal detrás del peso de cabeceo de un tipo. No toca alerones, muelle, compensador ni fuerzas de bataneo.
Más: esfuerzos sostenidos de cabeceo más pesados a velocidad.
Menos: una profundidad más ligera, con menos músculo que sostener.
Por qué aquí: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Max output force70%
Un tope sobre cada fuerza estable de cabeceo o alabeo antes de llegar al dispositivo, protegiendo contra golpes o saturación del hardware en maniobras fuertes.
Más: picos de fuerza estable más altos antes del recorte.
Menos: un techo más suave; las maniobras duras se aplanan antes.
Por qué aquí: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
Forces · Center starting force transition0.05
Por qué aquí: Sets the travel used to ramp in centre preload. Wider intervals make its onset more gradual.
Airspeed blendingFalse
Activa la ventana de acoplamiento del muelle a baja velocidad (nudos de inicio/pleno de arriba). Apagado, el muelle es constante a todas las velocidades.
Por qué aquí: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
Low-speed spring floor55%
Cuánto del muelle sobrevive con el avión parado, antes de que la velocidad pueda generar fuerza aerodinámica. Un suelo alto mantiene firme la palanca aparcada; uno bajo da la sensación suelta, de cables con holgura, de una avioneta estacionada.
Más: una palanca más firme aparcado y rodando.
Menos: una palanca floja aparcado que solo despierta con la velocidad.
Por qué aquí: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
Spring engagement start0 kt
La velocidad a la que el muelle empieza a subir desde su suelo de baja velocidad hacia la fuerza plena: los mandos «cobrando vida» en la carrera de despegue.
Por qué aquí: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
Velocidad de ajuste de fuerza280
La velocidad indicada a la que la carga aerodinámica alcanza su nivel pleno de diseño. Ancla toda la curva de carga al rango real de velocidades del avión: un 172 carga hacia 110 nudos, un jet mucho después.
Más: las cargas llegan más tarde; la palanca sigue ligera hasta más velocidad.
Menos: las cargas llegan antes y el crucero pesa más.
Por qué aquí: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Trim
Trim relief (elevator)30%
Con qué fuerza el compensador de profundidad alivia el esfuerzo de cabeceo mantenido y desplaza dónde se asienta la palanca. Al 100 %, un avión bien compensado no necesita presión mantenida: el flujo de trabajo de compensar la carga del vuelo real.
Más: el compensador quita más esfuerzo mantenido; al 100 %, compensado del todo lo anula.
Menos: sigues sosteniendo esfuerzo aun compensado.
Por qué aquí: Documented electric-trim limits vary with model and flap state; a selected trim response is a simplification and does not recreate every NG or MAX trim law. Pitch relief is off, with stored authority 0.3; roll authority is 0.09.
PMDG 737 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)Trim relief (aileron)9%
El mismo alivio para el compensador de alabeo. La mayoría de los tipos de aviación general no tienen compensador de alerones real, así que se queda a cero; los tipos con compensador de alabeo reciben un valor acorde.
Más: el compensador de alabeo quita más esfuerzo mantenido.
Menos: el compensador de alabeo hace menos.
Por qué aquí: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Effect gains · Ground
Runway rumble40%
Vibración de rodadura según la velocidad de las ruedas y el tipo de superficie: asfalto, hierba o grava bajo el tren.
Más: una textura de superficie más fuerte en la palanca.
Menos: un rodaje más liso.
Por qué aquí: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
Gear bumps32%
Golpes cortos y discretos de juntas de dilatación, surcos y superficie irregular, que puntúan el retumbo continuo.
Más: golpes más nítidos de juntas y surcos.
Menos: detalles de suelo más suaves.
Por qué aquí: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
Effect gains · Airframe
Stick shaker90%
El zumbido dedicado del stick shaker de pérdida, disparado por el propio sistema de aviso del avión. Solo los tipos con shaker real reciben un valor; el resto confía en el bataneo aerodinámico y la bocina.
Más: un shaker más duro.
Menos: un shaker más discreto.
Por qué aquí: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
Stall buffet30%
Sacudida de la célula al acercarse a la pérdida y mientras suena el aviso: cuán fuerte anuncia esta ala que está incómoda. Los tipos con entrada en pérdida seca reciben bataneo modesto y dejan que la bocina lleve el aviso.
Más: un temblor previo a la pérdida más fuerte.
Menos: un ala más discreta; la bocina lleva el aviso.
Por qué aquí: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
Mach buffet44%
Bataneo transónico al acercarse al límite de Mach. Significativo para jets cerca de MMO, cero para pistones y turbohélices que nunca llegan.
Más: un bataneo transónico más fuerte cerca del límite de Mach.
Menos: un vuelo más liso a Mach alto.
Por qué aquí: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
Flap buffet36%
Vibración de baja frecuencia de la célula con los flaps extendidos al flujo, en la ventana de velocidad donde realmente trabajan el aire.
Más: un vuelo más áspero con flaps trabajando.
Menos: flaps de aproximación más suaves.
Por qué aquí: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Gear buffet38%
Tamborileo de la célula por el tren retráctil colgando en la corriente. Cero para tipos de tren fijo, donde la célula nunca cambia de forma.
Más: más tamborileo con el tren fuera.
Menos: un vuelo con tren fuera más limpio.
Por qué aquí: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag
Touchdown thump90%
El golpe único cuando las ruedas tocan la pista, escalado por la velocidad vertical: un aterrizaje fino susurra, una llegada firme golpea.
Más: un golpe más duro en la toma.
Menos: llegadas más suaves.
Por qué aquí: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
Reverse rumble50%
Vibración de rodadura mientras trabajan la reversa o las hélices en rango beta. Cero para tipos sin reversa.
Más: un rodaje más áspero con reversa.
Menos: una reversa más discreta.
Por qué aquí: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
Engine rumble11%
Vibración continua del grupo motopropulsor siguiendo las RPM entre ralentí y plena potencia, el recordatorio siempre presente de que algo quema combustible delante.
Más: más motor en la palanca.
Menos: un motor más discreto.
Por qué aquí: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
Flap motion34%
Vibración continua solo mientras el simulador informa de que las superficies de flap se mueven realmente. Sigue el movimiento y las averías reales del actuador, no un temporizador estimado.
Más: más vibración con los flaps en movimiento.
Menos: recorridos de flap más discretos.
Por qué aquí: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
Autopilot follow
AP follow authority100%
Cuánto pueden mover físicamente la palanca las órdenes del piloto automático. Se mantiene minúsculo en MSFS, donde un eje movido puede leerse de vuelta como entrada del piloto; cero desactiva el seguimiento por completo.
Más: el piloto automático mueve tu palanca visiblemente más.
Menos: un seguimiento apenas perceptible.
Por qué aquí: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
