The PMDG Boeing 737-800 is maintained through a separate app. From time to time it discovers updates and offers to update them. Sometimes there are problems with the app such that it fails to connect to its PMDG server.
If we update a 737 with the app, then the next time we load the 737 inside of MSFS 2020, it takes much longer for that 737 to load up. This is because MSFS compiles this airframe after it is changed. This could take perhaps 20-30 minutes.
There is an Excel spreadsheet called “PMDG_737_Event_Data_List.zip” in Downloads. These can help set up binding to hardware yokes, joysticks, etc.

For some reason, turning the yoke no longer steers the front wheel. Had to put in rules in MobiFlight to map Yoke to Rudder when altitude is less than 1 foot.
| Mobi | PMDG 737 | Parameter |
|---|---|---|
| TCA YOKE BOEING, Axis X | FSUIPC: Event ID 65764, Load Preset AXIS_RUDDER_SET | Precondition: Config item, Distance Above Ground < 1 Param: Round((32767 - @)/2, 0) |
Tried to start APU, and clicking on Start didn't start it. Finally was able to perform the Ground Maintenance and the APU was magically showing that it was running.
