Will there be a PMDG module for MSFS?

Now that PMDG has started releasing their first aircraft for MSFS, will there be a PMDG module like the one for Prepar3D?

Hi Bert,

 

What module do you mean ?

 

Thank you.

For Prepar3D and FSX there is a DLL that translates PMDG aircraft data to variables the tool can use in its configuration. This DLL has to be explicitly enabled using the Honeycomb configurator software. Also, the PMDG aircraft have a substantial list of events available for use in the configurator which are not available to the default controls configuration. Now that PMDG has released their first jet for MSFS 2020, I was wondering if the configurator for MSFS will also receive this extension.

Hi,

 

Yes indeed, most likely.

The MSFS Configurator is still under development.

We will know more soon.

I am also planning a complete tutorial on the PMDG 737.

 

Best regards.

Hi Bert,

 

actually, we have discussed that last week in Paderborn...once there is a PMDG SDK for MSFS available, I will look into the PMDG translator...if/how it is feasible to refactor it into wasm. At the same time, the full Honeycomb configurator package has already undergone some rounds of testing in MSFS and is working nicely.
