Rebuilt from the ground up with 841 controls across 33 pages, the updated profile brings full cockpit coverage to the PMDG 737 family — including the newly released 737-600.
The Elgato Stream Deck has quietly become one of the most popular pieces of peripheral hardware in the flight simulation community. For virtual pilots flying complex airliners, the ability to assign hundreds of cockpit functions to physical, tactile buttons — rather than hunting through 3D cockpit menus with a mouse — can meaningfully change how immersive and efficient the experience feels. Northern Ireland-based developer Flight Panels has built its entire product line around this concept, creating pre-programmed Stream Deck profiles tailored specifically to aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane.
On March 26, Flight Panels released what it describes as a complete rebuild of its PMDG 737 Stream Deck Profile — and the numbers bear that out. The original 2023 release shipped with 312 controls spread across 12 pages. The new version expands that to 841 controls across 33 pages, representing an increase of more than 160% in scope.
The update arrives in close step with 🔗 PMDG's release of the 737-600 variant for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and the profile has been updated to reflect the full 737 family. New additions include a complete MCDU with full keyboard and numpad input, an audio control panel, cockpit and cabin feature controls, and a range of systems that previously required navigating in-cockpit menus with a mouse. For pilots focused on realistic procedures, getting those controls onto physical hardware is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement.
Hardware Compatibility
The updated profile ships in both 15-key and 32-key layouts, making it compatible with the Stream Deck XL, MK.2, Stream Deck Mobile, and the Corsair Xeneon Edge. Users flying with a Stream Deck + — which features physical rotary dials, an LCD touchscreen, and assignable buttons — will also find dedicated autopilot profiles designed to take full advantage of that hardware's unique control surface.
Where to Get It
The updated PMDG 737 Stream Deck Profile is available now through the 🔗 Flight Panels Store on Flightsim.to. If you're already a Flight Panels customer, the update is available at no additional cost — simply download it through your existing purchase. If you're new to their profiles, this update makes now a particularly good time to take a closer look.
