Hello,
Our partners West Jet have started to fly the 737-8 Max on regularly scheduled flights. Has DVA had any discussions on when we may be able to fly and log time on the new Max series of 737.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
So long.

And for those that don't know, RSR (head of PMDG) dropped a hint that they are, "MAX'ed" out on projects. So after the 748, look for that. Probably be 2019 though so it will be a long wait still.

Hmm. I'd be for adding the 737MAX. Need to find freeware models for FSX, P3D, XP if possible and also get all the important data that we put into ACARS. Delta is not on the 737max list but their codeshares are. It does us no good to add yet if there is no way to fly it.

TDS has a freeware MAX 8 available and they may be releasing the others in the series as well.

Pretty sure someone here at DVA told everybody that PMDG confirmed the MAX, not sure tho.
