Installing any additional livery is very easy, as PMDG included a livery manager with the NGX base pack, that also works for the 600 and 700.Īs you could’ve guessed, the exterior is where you’ll find the main differences between the base pack and the expansion. There are also 3 rd party repaints available on the usual portals on the internet. These 3 aircraft come in a PMDG house livery, but many airline liveries are available for free download on the PMDG website. Originally, you end up with 3 new entries in your FSX aircraft selection menu: the 737-600, the 737-700 without winglets, and the -700 again with winglets. Once that’s done, and the system indicates your activation was successful, you can start using your new aircraft. This popup window will ask for your serial, and check it over the internet.
Activation is required before using the product though, so a popup window will appear the first time you run either the PMDG 737-600 or -700 in FSX. You will need to have the NGX base pack installed first though. As with the base pack, you can just install the expansion pack, without having to enter serials or other credentials. The download file is a lot less bulky than the NGX base pack’s, coming in at 150MB. After purchase, you have to download a compressed folder with the installer in it. Installation of the 6700 expansion is similar to installing the NGX base pack. For a more detailed review on the other features, you can read my earlier review on the base pack here. Not really surprising, so for this review I’ll be focusing on the areas that make the expansion different from the base pack, as well as a general overview of the product. While testing this expansion pack, I found it to be very similar to the base pack. The NGX 6700 expansion pack is sold at the PMDG website for $24.99. PMDG couples these two smallest models in one expansion package, thus completing the original lineup of the Boeing 737 Next Generation family (-600, -700, -800, -900) in the PMDG lineup for FSX. The 736 is also the slowest selling member of the NG family, with only 69 delivered and no outstanding orders. The -600 is the smallest aircraft in the Next Gen family, and is the only one that is not offered with blended winglets as an option. The 737-600 is a shortened version of the 737, similar in size to the 737-500. As a direct competitor to the A319, the -700 is the second most popular model in the Next Gen family after the 737-800.
The first model of this new series was the 737-700, aimed at the size segment of the 737-300, while also intending to replace the DC-9. This first service pack brings the 737-600 and 737-700 to FSX in PMDG quality.įacing serious competition from the Airbus A320 family, Boeing decided to upgrade their 737 family of aircraft in the 1990’s. While the PMDG NGX basepack only delivered the 737-800 and 737-900, the first expansion pack was released shortly after PMDG updated the NGX to SP1.
