Ken het vliegtuig

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.

MSFS 2024X-Plane 12X-Plane 11MSFS 2020

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.

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.

Deze exacte revisie is nog niet beschikbaar voor openbare installatie.

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.

PMDG 737 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)

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.

PMDG 737 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)

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%

De uiteindelijke totaalschaal over alles wat het model produceert, vóór de apparaatbegrenzing.

Meer: alles (veer, belastingen, effecten) wordt samen sterker.

Minder: alles wordt samen zachter.

Waarom hier: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.

Forces

Spring strength20%

De basiscentreerkracht die de stick terug naar het midden trekt. Elke andere kracht stapelt hierop. Te laag en de stick voelt slap in normale vlucht; te hoog en hij vecht tegen je hand en maskeert de kleinere signalen erbovenop.

Meer: een steviger centreren dat de hand meer weerstaat.

Minder: een slappere stick die alleen op aerodynamische belasting leunt.

Waarom hier: 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%

Een kleine neutrale zone rond het midden waar de veer stil blijft, zodat minieme bewegingen in rust niet ratelen. Breder is rustiger maar losser; smaller is preciezer maar kan rond het midden trillen.

Meer: een rustiger maar losser midden, met meer speling.

Minder: een strakker midden dat in rust kan trillen.

Waarom hier: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.

Forces · Center starting force0.08

Waarom hier: Adds smoothly ramped resistance outside the centre deadband. Zero removes this preload.

Overall aerodynamic load0%

Een masterschaal over beide aangehouden asbelastingen, toegepast vóór hun onafhankelijke balans. Profielen laten dit normaal met rust en stemmen de twee asbelastingen af.

Meer: beide assen laden zwaarder.

Minder: beide assen worden samen lichter.

Waarom hier: The 0 gain omits sustained directed airspeed loading. Spring resistance remains independent.

Spring engagement full122 kt

De snelheid waarbij de veer volle sterkte bereikt. Tussen het begin en dit punt wordt het centreren geleidelijk steviger naarmate de luchtstroom over de roeren groeit.

Waarom hier: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.

Centre firmness vs speed100%

Hoeveel het centreren zelf met snelheid verstijft, bovenop de uitslagbelastingen. Nul houdt het middengevoel constant; meer laat de stick harder centreren op kruissnelheid en losser in het circuit.

Meer: een midden dat duidelijk verhardt met snelheid.

Minder: een constant middengevoel op elke snelheid.

Waarom hier: 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

De bovengrens van snelheidsgedreven centreerverstijving, zodat zeer snelle vlucht de veer niet onbegrensd kan opwinden.

Meer: meer totale verstijving toegestaan op hoge snelheid.

Minder: de verstijving stopt eerder.

Waarom hier: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.

Aileron load180%

De aangehouden rolbelasting uit rolroeruitslag en snelheid, onafhankelijk van pitch gebalanceerd. Samen met de hoogteroerbelasting bepaalt dit de stuurharmonie waar recensenten het over hebben.

Meer: zwaardere rolkrachten.

Minder: lichtere, levendigere rolroeren.

Waarom hier: 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%

De aangehouden pitchbelasting uit hoogteroeruitslag en snelheid, onafhankelijk van rol gebalanceerd. Dit is de hoofdhendel achter het pitchgewicht van een type. Hij raakt rolroer-, veer-, trim- of buffetkrachten niet.

Meer: zwaardere aangehouden pitchkrachten op snelheid.

Minder: een lichter hoogteroer, minder spierkracht om vast te houden.

Waarom hier: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.

Max output force70%

Een plafond op elke gestage pitch- of rolkracht voordat die het apparaat bereikt, ter bescherming tegen beuken of verzadigen van de hardware bij stevige manoeuvres.

Meer: hogere gestage krachtpieken vóór afkapping.

Minder: een zachter plafond; harde manoeuvres vlakken eerder af.

Waarom hier: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.

Forces · Center starting force transition0.05

Waarom hier: Sets the travel used to ramp in centre preload. Wider intervals make its onset more gradual.

Airspeed blendingFalse

Schakelt het lage-snelheidsvenster van de veeraangrijping in (start/vol-knopen hierboven). Uit betekent een constante veer op alle snelheden.

Waarom hier: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.

Low-speed spring floor55%

Hoeveel van de veer overleeft bij stilstand, voordat luchtsnelheid aerodynamische kracht kan opbouwen. Een hoge vloer houdt de geparkeerde stick stevig; een lage geeft het losse, kabelslappe gevoel van een geparkeerd licht vliegtuig.

Meer: een stevigere stick geparkeerd en tijdens taxiën.

Minder: een slappe stick geparkeerd die pas met snelheid ontwaakt.

Waarom hier: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.

Spring engagement start0 kt

De snelheid waarbij de veer vanaf zijn lage-snelheidsvloer richting volle sterkte begint te klimmen: de besturing die 'tot leven komt' tijdens de startrol.

Waarom hier: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.

Snelheid voor krachtafstemming280

De aangewezen snelheid waarbij de aerodynamische belasting haar ontworpen volle niveau bereikt. Hij verankert de hele belastingscurve aan het echte snelheidsbereik van het vliegtuig: een 172 laadt op tegen 110 knopen, een jet veel later.

Meer: belastingen komen later; de stick blijft langer licht.

Minder: belastingen komen eerder en de kruisvlucht weegt zwaarder.

Waarom hier: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.

Trim

Trim relief (elevator)30%

Hoe sterk hoogteroertrim de vastgehouden pitchkracht verlicht en verschuift waar de stick tot rust komt. Op 100 % heeft een goed getrimd vliegtuig geen vastgehouden druk nodig, de trim-de-last-weg-werkwijze van echt vliegen.

Meer: trim neemt meer vastgehouden kracht weg; op 100 % heft volle trim hem op.

Minder: je blijft kracht houden, zelfs getrimd.

Waarom hier: 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%

Dezelfde verlichting voor roltrim. De meeste GA-types hebben geen echte rolroertrim, dus dit blijft op nul; types met roltrim krijgen een passende waarde.

Meer: roltrim neemt meer vastgehouden kracht weg.

Minder: roltrim doet minder.

Waarom hier: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.

Effect gains · Ground

Runway rumble40%

Rollende oppervlaktetrilling uit wielsnelheid en ondergrondtype: asfalt, gras of grind onder het onderstel.

Meer: een sterkere oppervlaktetextuur in de stick.

Minder: gladder taxiën.

Waarom hier: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.

Gear bumps32%

Korte losse stoten van uitzetvoegen, sporen en ruw oppervlak, die het doorlopende gerommel accentueren.

Meer: scherpere stoten van voegen en sporen.

Minder: zachtere gronddetails.

Waarom hier: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.

Effect gains · Airframe

Stick shaker90%

De speciale stall-stickshakerzoem, geactiveerd door het eigen overtrekwaarschuwingssysteem van het vliegtuig. Alleen types met een echte shaker krijgen een waarde; de rest steunt op aerodynamisch buffet en de hoorn.

Meer: een hardere shaker.

Minder: een discretere shaker.

Waarom hier: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.

Stall buffet30%

Casco-schudden bij het naderen van de overtrek en terwijl de overtrekwaarschuwing actief is: hoe luid deze vleugel aankondigt dat hij ontevreden is. Types met een scherpe afbreek krijgen bescheiden buffet en laten de hoorn de waarschuwing dragen.

Meer: een sterker trillen vóór de overtrek.

Minder: een discretere vleugel; de hoorn draagt de waarschuwing.

Waarom hier: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.

Mach buffet44%

Transsoon buffet bij het naderen van de Machlimiet. Betekenisvol voor jets nabij MMO, nul voor zuigers en turboprops die er nooit komen.

Meer: een sterker transsoon buffet nabij de Machlimiet.

Minder: gladder vliegen op hoge Mach.

Waarom hier: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.

Flap buffet36%

Laagfrequente casco-trilling met kleppen uitgeslagen in de luchtstroom, in het snelheidsvenster waar ze de lucht echt bewerken.

Meer: ruwer vliegen met werkende kleppen.

Minder: zachtere naderingskleppen.

Waarom hier: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.

Gear buffet38%

Casco-getrommel van intrekbaar onderstel dat in de luchtstroom hangt. Nul voor types met vast onderstel, waar het casco nooit van vorm verandert.

Meer: meer getrommel met het onderstel uit.

Minder: schoner vliegen met onderstel uit.

Waarom hier: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.

Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag

Touchdown thump90%

De eenmalige dreun als de wielen de baan raken, geschaald op daalsnelheid: een zachte landing fluistert, een stevige aankomst bonkt.

Meer: een hardere dreun bij de landing.

Minder: zachtere aankomsten.

Waarom hier: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.

Reverse rumble50%

Uitroltrilling terwijl reverse thrust of props in beta werken. Nul voor types zonder reverse.

Meer: ruwer uitrollen onder reverse.

Minder: een discretere reverse.

Waarom hier: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.

Engine rumble11%

Doorlopende motortrilling die het toerental volgt tussen stationair en vol vermogen, de altijd aanwezige herinnering dat er voorin iets brandstof verbrandt.

Meer: meer motor in de stick.

Minder: een discretere motor.

Waarom hier: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.

Flap motion34%

Doorlopende trilling alleen terwijl de sim meldt dat de klepvlakken daadwerkelijk bewegen. Volgt echte actuatorbeweging en storingen, geen geschatte timer.

Meer: meer trilling met bewegende kleppen.

Minder: discretere klepbewegingen.

Waarom hier: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.

Autopilot follow

AP follow authority100%

Hoe ver autopilootcommando's de stick fysiek mogen bewegen. Piepklein gehouden in MSFS, waar een bewogen as kan worden teruggelezen als pilooteninvoer; nul schakelt volgen volledig uit.

Meer: de autopiloot beweegt je stick zichtbaar meer.

Minder: een nauwelijks merkbaar volgen.

Waarom hier: 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.
