PMDG has recently issued an update to their 777 lineup (777-300R and 777F) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. The update cleans up a few items that required attention after the 777F release and addresses issues on the 777-300R caused by code changes to accommodate the 777F. 

Update v2.00.0060 eliminates the ghost cargo door advisory and its associated TOCWS trigger on the 777-300ER and adds numerous model cleanups, logic fixes, and more. The changelog follows below:

They have also published new information on the status of their Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 port: they are now able to run code and debugging in MSFS 2024 after a recent update, but the memory allocation error from 2020 appears to be present in 2024 as well – despite PMDG reporting it in the past –, bringing the development effort to a halt as C++ WASM projects seem to rely heavily on advanced memory allocation techniques used by modern C++ compilers. That means they cannot run, build, or test code properly within MSFS 2024.

The 737 family will soon receive an update to address the issue with the Universal Flight Tablet not loading properly. There’s no exact prediction of when it will be available for Marketplace users, but it should be coming soon for PMDG.com customers.

PMDG’s aircraft lineup is available on their website, with prices ranging from $34.99 to $74.99.
