737 Immersion V2
In our search for total immersion, we often overlook the finer details that are missing in-sim. It's these important details that add the most to our experience. For this, we present our Immersive Line of products.
We're proud to present a long-awaited release: 737 Immersion V2. The Boeing 737 is incontestably the most popular aircraft of all time. As such, we truly wanted to develop a product that would break new ground and push boundaries. We did, and it’s ready for you!
Compatible with the following aircraft:
PMDG 737NGXu Base Package for Prepar3D v4 (required)
PMDG 737-600/700 NGXu Expansion for Prepar3D v4

Performance First!
It's not part of our official mission statement yet, but it should be! Performance is our #1 priority at //42, our customers want max realism with low impact on the system. 737 Immersion V2 has gone through rigorous flight tests and memory usage is next to nothing. With regards to frames-per-second (FPS), we have optimized 737 Immersion V2 to be a high quality, FPS-friendly product.
Wing Condensation
737 Immersion V2 features multi-stage wing condensation, this provides a very organic feel to the effect. Departures in humid air will look stunning as moisture builds on the wing surface during departures and approaches!
APU Cold Start
Another brand new effect exclusive to 737 Immersion V2, APU Cold Start. Need to start a flight on a cold morning? Have the FO start the APU today and hop outside to enjoy this awesome effect in action behind the aircraft. You’ll also see the effect when arriving at cold destinations.
Thrust Reversal
Reverse thrust is what started everything related to Immersion Packages. The lack of this effect in-sim or from developers made landings feel well, bland. There is something impressive about thousands of pounds of thrust being directed forward to slow the aircraft down. This is especially awesome on runways where moisture is present.
Engine Condensation
737 Immersion V2 delivers the latest version of our unique engine condensation effect! Providing three-stage engine condensation based on independent engine thrust. This effect is quite interesting to witness in real life, now virtual pilots can experience this real-world effect in their simulator.
St. Elmo's Fire
St. Elmo's fire is a form of plasma that’s visible as a luminous electrical discharge on the windshield at dusk or night typically at cruise altitudes. Conditions that can generate St. Elmo's fire are present during thunderstorms when high voltage differentials are present between clouds and the ground underneath.
Volumetric lighting
For 737 Immersion V2, we rebuilt volumetric lighting from the ground up. From the FMC you're able to switch between the original lighting package and LEDs. Some carriers are adding Pulse technology to their aircraft for increased visibility, you can now select w/Pulse as we’ve rendered that effect as well. Simply put, our volumetric lighting is now more realistic and precise than ever before, we can’t wait for you to fly through dense clouds with our landing lights on. Your night flights will take on a new life, especially in bad weather!
Contrails
At the heart of 737 Immersion V2, you’ll find our voluminous contrails. These provide impressive visuals that look as tasty as cotton candy! Together with the rest of the package, they add to the extensive list of weather phenomena included with 737 Immersion V2 to make cruising at altitude a sight to behold.
Jet Wash
737 Immersion renders jet wash effects under rain and snow conditions, this really showcases the power strapped to the wings! We spent countless hours recreating this effect using real-world images, videos, and data. Peek outside the flight deck while spooling up to see what thousands of pounds of thrust does to moisture behind the aircraft!
Fuel Overflow
Full tanks? You might just see some fuel overflow after a fill up at the gate. Oh, and keep an eye on the fuel vents during departure too!
+ More
Touchdown effects at the wheels, engine start-up smoke under cold conditions, brake dust effects when retracting the landing gear, water vortex from the ground into the engine & lateral blast on rotation. We’ve got you covered from all angles!
All-In-One!
737 Immersion V2 is available as a single package for all four variants of the PMDG 737 NGXu: 737-600, -700, -800, and -900. Enjoy immersive effects for all variants, customized for each.
