PMDG Boeing 737-900 is coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator soon
The next and final entry in the Boeing 737NG family is soon coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator — the super stretchy 737-900 by PMDG. Only beat by the 737-MAX10 variant, the 737-900 (specifically, the 900ER) is the second-largest aircraft across the entire 737 lineage.
With a total length of 138 feet, this stretched-out variant of the famous single-aisle jetliner is the final version of the 737NG family. This completes the quartet, which is also composed of the already-released -600, -700 and -800 variants.
The 900ER, in particular, is the true icing on the cake for the 737NG line. It serves as a fill-in for the discontinued Boeing 757 and is also the most comparable to the Airbus A321, the primary rival of the 737 family. It boasts a seat capacity of 220, and includes a variety of improvements that allow it to fly farther and be more fuel efficient than the rest of the 737NG variants.

The studio has teased a release of “sometime after February 7” just past 1 PM EST. The price of the Boeing 737-900/900ER is curiously said to be “between the 600 and the 700/800.” The -600 is the cheapest at $34.99 USD, whereas the other two variants are both $74.99 USD. So, if the -900 will be priced “between” these two values, it seems likely it may land in at somewhere around the $50 USD mark.
PMDG promises that it will keep supplying updates across its entire family of 737 products for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
