This is a completely different version to the original FSX/P3D PMDG EFIS gauge. The original gauge is still available to download for those who own the original from your orders but its no longer available to buy or supported.

This MSFS version is only for 737 where the old one had 747 support. When PMDG 747 is released in MSFS I will endeavour to add it.

Video if this gauge is the old one. Functionality is the same except on 747 mode (yet)
