So someone could produce something very like the performance of a 737MAX, good enough for FSX, simply by adjusting their NG simulation model to produce the target improved performance. 1.8% more efficient winglets for example. But what does exist are Boeing's targeted efficiency savings. As you say actual data doesn't exist yet. Simulating more efficient engines or winglets in FSX is not a technological challenge. To be fair to Artur he's talking about simulating the 737MAX, not developing a real one. As we all know, PMDG doesn't do things by guesswork. But until the real displays are fully defined you would simply be guessing at how they looked and operated. Making the new displays would be a big task though. You certainly wouldn't start from scratch. Currently, that data isn't even available yet because the MAX exists only in computer renderings and display models.To be fair to Artur he's talking about simulating the 737MAX, not developing a real one. Nobody would buy a new plane because 'they made it look different.' New data will come from this model, and, if anyone decided to pick it up to develop for a sim, they'd need to find that data. If it were only this much, I don't think Boeing would be trumpeting about the fuel savings and other benefits, and I doubt the airlines would invest in a more expensive and newer model of aircraft over an existing (proven) current model. It would have to be created from the ground up to be done right by PMDG standards. Then you have to BETA test for hundreds of hours finding and fixing bugs and tweaking things. Again, flight dynamics and fuel usage will be completely different. This alters not only flight dynamics such as lift and drag, but other factors like fuel flow, stall speed, how flaps affect the airframe, reaction of the airframe in different phases of flight (takeoff, cruise, approach), etc, etc. Then, like you say, the wing has changed. Gauges have to be created and programmed.do you know how many thousands of lines of code is needed to just run the FMC, let alone the code in the other gauges to work with just the FMC? Not so complicated? It takes hundreds of hours just to do the VC. It need only a new VC and some little modification on wing model.
