The hotly anticipated Boeing 737-800 for Microsoft has arrived from well known airline maker PMDG. The 737-800 remains among the most popular airliners currently in service and the -800 is the one that many in the airliner community have been waiting for. Now, it’s here.
The dash eight hundred arrives
Boeing has delivered just over 5,000 of the 737-800 variant of the 737 series. The -800 is a stretched -700 in the NG series and is the the most widely used airliner in the world. That attracts a considerable amount of attention from airliner enthusiasts and its the version of the 737 that many have been waiting for from PMDG with the -700 and then -600 releasing first.
The PMDG -800 comes with the same overall featureset as the other two. There are interchangable equipment options, a choice of blended or split scimitar winglets, and passenger and freight versions as well as the Boeing Business Jet variant.
The -800, like other versions in the PMDG stable, are awaiting the release of their PMDG-EFB (cockpit tablet), weather radar, more detailed cabin models and land gear interiors. All of which remain in development.
The PMDG 737-800 is available via their online store for $69.99 USD with a regular listed price of $74.99 USD.
