That looks sweeeeeeeeet! Now for my dumb question ... does FedEx actually fly 737's? Seems awfully small for a cargo plane ... but I guess if they have remote hubs that don't require a larger plane, it makes sense.

Not yet, but maybe...(from http://www.b737.org.uk/history.htm)-- begin quote --Boeing revealed the 737-900F study group in Sept 2003. The project is believed to be aimed at FedEx who are looking to replace their 727 fleet. It would use the side cargo door from the 700QC and be capable of taking 11 standard 2.24 x 3.18m pallets, 3 more than the -700QC and only 3 less than the 757. The -900 also has a hold volume of 51.7cu.m.-- end quote --Aaron

According to Airliners.net they used to fly 737-200s in the late seventies/early eighties. One picture can be found herehttp://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0996...D%3D&static=yesUPS does not seem to fly 737 at all.

Chris, I believe you are right about UPS not flying any 737 variants. They do however fly the 747, so I will be patient until PMDG releases that beauty and maybe they can do a UPS livery for it.Bob Kelletthttp://www.opticsmall.com/VirtualAlaska/737700-.jpg

I have a small problem with the FedEx aircraft. ATC adresses me as "737" rather than "FedEx 737". All the parameters in the cfg file seem correct, so I believe this is an omission in FS9. I seem to recall there's a file somewhere with all the carrier names, and I suspect this one is missing. Anyone know the fix?Thanks in advance!

Jim,If you re-download the FedEx livery I believe Robert fixed an error in the config file. You can fix this yourself in your current install by placing a space between Fed and Ex in the atc_Airline= line of your config file.

Thank you Pete! I suspected it might be that simple. Interestingly, EditVoicePack lists FedEx (no space) and plays the sample. That's why I was puzzled. I'll make the change to the cfg file.
