PMDG Updates 737 NGX to SP1, Releases 600/700 Expansion

After several delays, PMDG has release the SP1 update to the 737 NGX.  For a list of the issues addressed with this update along with a link to the update, visit the PMDG customer forum.  Due to a number of changes in the aircraft.cfg file, PMDG recommends that you uninstall the previous version of the NGX, and reinstall with SP1.  (Yeah, I know, kind of a pain if you had a bunch of add-on liveries installed...)

PMDG also released the 737-600/-700 expansion pack to the NGX as well.  Cost is US $24.95 for now, available here.

I picked up the update and the expansion pack this weekend.  Most of the little minor bugs in the initial release have been worked out, and the plane is an even greater joy to fly now.  Give the 737-600 a try - even though it never sold well in real life due to poor economics, it climbs like a rocket when very lightly loaded.  Great fun!
