Captains-Development and buildout of the PMDG 737-800/900 is well on its way!You will recall that we showed you some images of the -800 in an unpainted format during early testing. Well all three airplanes have come out of the paint shop and they are looking VERY nice!The 800 has two variants.... Winglets and non-winglets...Here the 800-Winglet airplane is prepped and ready for testing on the hard stand. (The door is still closed because Vin forgot the keys....) ;-)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...8900/800_W1.jpgImmediately adjacent we find the standard configuration 800.... To make the airplane stand out, Pete designed this bare metal treatment of the PMDG livery..... http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...8900/800_M3.jpgAnd lets not forget the long-bodied PMDG 737-900!http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...0/737900_01.jpghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...0/737900_02.jpgA quick view of the new display format as seen from the virtual cockpit!http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...8900/800VC2.jpgAnd in this image, you will note the over/under engine display.... This kind of setup is what the Virtual Cockpit was made for! It really shows well!http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...8900/800VC1.jpgNow for a bit of "Boeing Style" publicity shoot! The metal PMDG livery looks nice in the wild, doesn't it?http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...8900/800_M2.jpgThese I've included because they remind me of all the time I've spent at Gravelly Point north of KDCA.... Not a bad landing, eh?http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...78900/900_2.jpghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...78900/900_3.jpghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...78900/900_4.jpgA bit later in the day, I'll have another photo expose for you. There are a few details that we'd like to show you, including:Updated Night Textures in the Cockpit....Fully Functional TCAS 7.2 with: -> Accurate Test Mode. -> Traffic Advisory Mode -> Resolution Advisories...(There are alot of details to be shared on the TCAS implementation- it is not simply an "aircraft locator" but a completely functional implementation of the TCAS system carried aboard modern airliners!)We have a host of goodies coming for you with this expansion to the PMDG 737 product line! Cost Indexing, Soft Constraints, Route Offsets, Airline Configuration Selection, and more!The PMDG 737-800/900 is reaching the end of the alpha build process and is expected to begin final testing in just a few weeks.... Then it'll be right out to you!Stay tuned!

Very nice guys! Can't wait to get my hands on it :)By the way, is there any chance you can add a cold and dark function to the PMDG styles menu? It'll save much tooling about with loading saved flights, reloacting the airplane, fixing the time etc.ThanksDavid
