The latest update from PMDG - PMDG 737 v3.0.24 breaks the ngxu driver
The driver and script that come with OC4BAv5 and the PMDG 737 for MSFS software will not work in MSFS with the latest PMDG 737 update, v3.0.24.
The reason for this is that PMDG has without any notice changed the structure of input and output variables.
rksoftware will have to make a new driver and script to make the Opencockpits hardware modules work properly again.
This will probably mean that PMDG must release an SDK before development can start.
The OC4BAv5/OPC4NGXu driver and script will not be modified or reprogrammed and can therefor only be used with the PMDG NGXu in P3D.
AS stated in another email:
All customers that bought the OC4BAv5 or OC4BAv5 upgrade between May 10 - June 1 2022 will get the new special PMDG 737 for MSFS driver + a stripped down version of Oi4FS free of charge when it is released .
The stripped down version of Oi4FS does not come with any airplane drivers.

After getting new update info directly from the PMDG boss, I have now started the development of the new driver software. It is now under testing and hopefully a download link will be sent out in the very near future.

A new special driver package for PMDG 737 (v3.0.24) in MSFS is now sent out to all existing PMDG 737 driver customers. It is still in test phase and it will be sent out to all OC4BAv5 customers who bought the OC4BAv5 between May 10 - June 1 as soon as the test period is over. This will occur in a day or two.

The latest version of the PMDG 737 driver for MSFS has some issues that needs to be corrected.
There are issues with COMs, NAVs,ADF, ATC and Chronos.
As I am now on vacation, a new updated version will not be ready until next week.

A new updated PMDG 737 for MSFS driver and script are now ready to be beta tested.
It has not been tested by me yet as I do not have access to my cockpit hardware at the moment.
It should fix the issues with the with COMs, NAVs,ADF, ATC and Chronos.
If you have the PMDG 737 for MSFS driver and want to try the new update send a request to roarkrsp@gmail.com

how's the progress? do you need more people to test it.. I could if needed, but if you have testers I will wait for the done project, I didn't volunteer to test because i have to modify a lot of stuff in the script as i use my home made stuff for OVH and MIP. any mayor update like that when new SSi is issued is a mega pain for me as it needs to be all modified inputs/outputs etc... I was able to revert to older PMDG so i can still use my cockpit, but new update would be welcome.
Re: The latest update from PMDG - PMDG 737 v3.0.24 breaks the ngxu driver
I have enough testers at the moment. Expect to send out a release today or tomorrow.

Latest version of Oi4FS + PMDG 737 driver for MSFS has been sent out to all valid PMDG 737 driver customers.
At some point in time during July this driver code will break because of new PMDG 737 SDK updates.
