AS far as I know, FS 2020 is still not multi-screen and has no interfacable 737 avail.

Actually Jack.  PM has released their flight model for the 737 for MSFS2020 over 4 months ago.

Yep, ProSim has a MSFS 2020 model as well, but maybe Jack meant a MSFS default B737 model.... ;D

yep no "native 737"
Any feedback on the combo PM or Prosim with 2020 for an interfaced home cockpit ?

I know that James is using FS2020 with a custom 737 flight model developed specifically for his use.

James uses Project Magenta as well. There really hasn't been any issues with PM systems. They all seem to function correctly. PM also has it's own 737 flight model for use with 2020.

There's just a few tidbits that could work better in 2020 and the 737: Engine starts still need to use <CTL> <E> to start the engines. James had this working once with a LUA script, but a recent 2020 update broke that.
