DETAILS AND QUIRKS OF
THE PMDG 737
During the design and development of PMDG products, we integrate
input from numerous experts and users of the aircraft. This combined with
our detailed research and design process allows us to add behaviors,
quirks and nuances to our simulations that add a true flavor of realism to
the simulation.
These behaviors are the kinds of items that an experienced 737 pilot or
maintenance technician will see and recognize them as hallmarks of a
truly detailed simulation product.
The following behaviors are a non-conclusive list of behaviors that you will
find in the PMDG 737 that are simulated precisely as they appear in the
actual airplane:
Air Conditioning System:
• You may think that these temperature readings on the air
conditioning gauge are a result of a simple simulation, where you
set a target temperature and then simply modify the zones
temperatures to eventually achieve this figure over some time.
There has been always a lot more to it in all our products,
simulating the whole flow path of air from engine bleed to air
compressor to the mix manifold to trim air ducts etc., with all
valves along the way fully simulated. What is new in the PMDG
737 is the temperature simulation of individual zones based on a
detailed heat exchange model that considers thermal loads such
as:
o Electric loads (e.g., operating display screens and
dome/floods lighting in the cockpit, cabin lighting)
o Supplementary heating sources (footer/shoulder heaters
& windshield air)
o Number of passengers on board and distribution to zones
o Solar heat (areas of windows in each zone, time of day,
current cloud coverage)
o State of doors
o Interaction conductivity of different aircraft compartments
(cabin, cargo bays etc.) with exterior and between each
other
