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.

Boeing 737 MAX 8
Free + ProMSFS 2020MSFS 2024X-Plane 11X-Plane 12
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.
This starting point selects Boeing 737 MAX 8. Its aircraft-level settings do not select a particular developer’s custom systems.
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.
Cette révision précise n’est pas encore autorisée à l’installation publique.
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 gain85%
L'échelle globale finale appliquée à tout ce que produit le modèle, avant la limite du périphérique.
Plus : tout (ressort, charges, effets) se renforce ensemble.
Moins : tout s'adoucit ensemble.
Pourquoi ici : Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
Forces
Spring strength20%
La force de rappel de base qui ramène le manche au neutre. Toutes les autres forces s'empilent dessus. Trop faible, le manche paraît mou en vol normal ; trop forte, elle lutte contre la main et masque les signaux plus fins.
Plus : un centrage plus ferme qui résiste davantage à la main.
Moins : un manche plus mou qui ne compte que sur la charge aérodynamique.
Pourquoi ici : 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%
Une petite zone neutre autour du centre où le ressort reste muet, pour que les micro-mouvements à l'arrêt ne vibrent pas. Plus large, c'est plus calme mais plus lâche ; plus étroite, plus précis mais parfois nerveux au neutre.
Plus : un centre plus calme mais plus lâche, avec plus de jeu.
Moins : un centre plus serré qui peut vibrer au repos.
Pourquoi ici : Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Forces · Center starting force0.08
Pourquoi ici : Adds smoothly ramped resistance outside the centre deadband. Zero removes this preload.
Forces · Center starting force transition0.05
Pourquoi ici : Sets the travel used to ramp in centre preload. Wider intervals make its onset more gradual.
Overall aerodynamic load0%
Une échelle maîtresse sur les deux charges d'axe, appliquée avant leur équilibre individuel. Les profils la laissent en général en place et règlent les deux axes.
Plus : les deux axes chargent plus fort.
Moins : les deux axes s'allègent ensemble.
Pourquoi ici : The 0 gain omits sustained directed airspeed loading. Spring resistance remains independent.
Airspeed blendingFalse
Active la fenêtre d'engagement basse vitesse du ressort (début/plein en nœuds ci-dessus). Désactivé, le ressort est constant à toute vitesse.
Pourquoi ici : Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
Low-speed spring floor55%
La part du ressort qui survit à l'arrêt, avant que la vitesse ne crée la moindre force aérodynamique. Un plancher haut garde le manche ferme au parking ; un plancher bas donne le jeu de câbles d'un avion léger au parking.
Plus : un manche plus ferme au parking et au roulage.
Moins : un manche mou au parking qui ne s'éveille qu'avec la vitesse.
Pourquoi ici : Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
Spring engagement start20 kt
La vitesse à laquelle le ressort quitte son plancher basse vitesse vers la pleine raideur : le début du réveil des commandes au roulage de décollage.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
Spring engagement full122 kt
La vitesse où le ressort atteint sa pleine raideur. Entre le début et ce point, le centrage se raffermit avec le vent relatif.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Vitesse de réglage des forces260
La vitesse indiquée où la charge aérodynamique atteint son niveau de conception. Elle ancre toute la courbe au domaine réel : un 172 charge dès 110 nœuds, un jet bien plus tard.
Plus : les charges arrivent plus tard ; le manche reste léger jusqu'à plus vite.
Moins : les charges arrivent plus tôt et la croisière pèse davantage.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Centre firmness vs speed100%
Combien le centrage lui-même se raidit avec la vitesse, en plus des charges de braquage. Zéro garde un centre constant ; plus fait centrer dur en croisière et souple en tour de piste.
Plus : un centre qui durcit nettement avec la vitesse.
Moins : une sensation de centre constante à toute vitesse.
Pourquoi ici : 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
La limite haute du raidissement lié à la vitesse, pour que le vol très rapide ne remonte pas le ressort sans borne.
Plus : plus de raidissement total permis à haute vitesse.
Moins : le raidissement se bride plus tôt.
Pourquoi ici : Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
Aileron load65%
La charge de roulis soutenue issue du braquage d'ailerons et de la vitesse, équilibrée indépendamment du tangage. Avec la charge de profondeur, elle fixe l'harmonie des commandes dont parlent les essais.
Plus : des efforts de roulis plus lourds.
Moins : des ailerons plus légers, plus vifs.
Pourquoi ici : Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.65 and 0.65, respectively. These stored weights do not create directed aerodynamic loading while that term is inactive. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator load65%
La charge de tangage soutenue issue du braquage de profondeur et de la vitesse, équilibrée indépendamment du roulis. Le levier principal du poids en tangage d'un type. Il ne touche ni ailerons, ni ressort, ni trim, ni buffet.
Plus : des efforts de tangage soutenus plus lourds en vitesse.
Moins : une profondeur plus légère, moins musclée à tenir.
Pourquoi ici : Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Max output force55%
Un plafond par force stable de tangage ou roulis avant le périphérique : la garde contre le claquement ou la saturation du matériel en manœuvre forte.
Plus : des pics de force stable plus élevés avant écrêtage.
Moins : un plafond plus doux ; les manœuvres dures s'aplatissent plus tôt.
Pourquoi ici : Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
Trim
Trim relief (elevator)0%
Combien le trim de profondeur soulage l'effort tenu et déplace le point de repos du manche. À 100 %, un avion bien compensé ne demande aucune pression : le geste réel de compenser la charge.
Plus : le trim retire plus d'effort tenu ; à 100 %, plein trim l'annule.
Moins : vous continuez à tenir de l'effort même compensé.
Pourquoi ici : 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; roll authority is 0.
PMDG 737 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)Trim relief (aileron)0%
Le même soulagement pour le trim de roulis. La plupart des avions légers n'ont pas de vrai trim d'ailerons, donc zéro ; les types qui en ont reçoivent une valeur adaptée.
Plus : le trim de roulis retire plus d'effort tenu.
Moins : le trim de roulis fait moins.
Pourquoi ici : Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Effect gains · Ground
Runway rumble40%
Vibration de roulement issue de la vitesse des roues et du revêtement : la texture du bitume, de l'herbe ou du gravier sous le train.
Plus : une texture de surface plus forte dans le manche.
Moins : un roulage plus lisse.
Pourquoi ici : Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
Gear bumps32%
Chocs courts et distincts des joints, ornières et surfaces rugueuses : la ponctuation au-dessus du grondement continu.
Plus : des chocs plus nets des joints et ornières.
Moins : des détails de sol plus doux.
Pourquoi ici : Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
Effect gains · Airframe
Stall buffet30%
Buffet de cellule à l'approche du décrochage et pendant l'avertisseur : la voix de cette aile quand elle est mécontente. Les types à décrochage franc reçoivent un buffet modéré, le klaxon porte l'alerte.
Plus : un tremblement pré-décrochage plus fort.
Moins : une aile plus discrète ; le klaxon porte l'alerte.
Pourquoi ici : Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
Mach buffet22%
Buffet transsonique près de la limite de Mach. Parlant pour les jets près de MMO, zéro pour pistons et turbopropulseurs qui n'y vont jamais.
Plus : un buffet transsonique plus fort près de la limite de Mach.
Moins : un vol plus lisse à haut Mach.
Pourquoi ici : Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
Flap buffet14%
Vibration basse fréquence de cellule avec les volets dans le vent, dans la fenêtre où ils travaillent vraiment l'air.
Plus : un vol plus rugueux volets au travail.
Moins : des volets d'approche plus doux.
Pourquoi ici : Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Gear buffet10%
Le tambourinement du train rentrant sorti dans le flux. Zéro pour les trains fixes, dont la cellule ne change jamais de forme.
Plus : plus de tambourinement train sorti.
Moins : un vol train sorti plus propre.
Pourquoi ici : Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Stick shaker90%
Le vibreur de manche dédié, déclenché par l'avertisseur de décrochage de l'avion. Seuls les types à vrai vibreur reçoivent une valeur ; les autres comptent sur buffet et klaxon.
Plus : un vibreur plus dur.
Moins : un vibreur plus discret.
Pourquoi ici : Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag
Touchdown thump90%
Le coup unique au toucher, proportionnel au taux de chute : un kiss se murmure, une arrivée ferme cogne.
Plus : un coup plus dur au toucher.
Moins : des arrivées plus douces.
Pourquoi ici : Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
Reverse rumble50%
Vibration de roulage sous inversion de poussée ou plage bêta. Zéro pour les types sans reverse.
Plus : un roulage plus rugueux sous reverse.
Moins : une reverse plus discrète.
Pourquoi ici : Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
Engine rumble6%
Vibration continue du moteur suivant le régime du ralenti à la pleine puissance : le rappel permanent que quelque chose brûle du carburant devant.
Plus : plus de moteur dans le manche.
Moins : un moteur plus discret.
Pourquoi ici : Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
Flap motion12%
Vibration continue seulement pendant que le simulateur signale les volets réellement en mouvement. Elle suit la course réelle et les pannes, pas un minuteur estimé.
Plus : plus de vibration volets en mouvement.
Moins : des courses de volets plus discrètes.
Pourquoi ici : Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
Autopilot follow
AP follow authority100%
Jusqu'où les ordres du pilote automatique peuvent bouger le manche physique. Minuscule dans MSFS, où un axe déplacé peut être relu comme entrée pilote ; zéro coupe le suivi.
Plus : le pilote automatique bouge visiblement plus votre manche.
Moins : un suivi à peine perceptible.
Pourquoi ici : Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.

Thanks, and your PMDG issue is fixed (I think), I'm emailing you a new build to test shortly.
Will check out that video and also use the report an issue button. Didn't want to do that before I asked about it in here, thinking it might be an already known issue or something I did wrong on my side.
Thanks for the great feedback. You might be interested in this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOSg0tKhfr4 to help you really nail down the tuning :) And that PMDG thing seems like a bug. It should go away. hit the rep…
