Great shots :-hah

Excellent shots, one great looking bird...wish I could afford the $60+ to fly this series of plane (A record amount of money for one type of aircraft!!!)

>Excellent shots, one great looking bird...wish I could afford>the $60+ to fly this series of plane (A record amount of money>for one type of aircraft!!!)Agree with you totally. Should have been two separate products. That means also in the boxed version they will all be packed in as one product. Meaning the price they want for it, will be up the roof.Regards,Alexander Martin.http://img33.photobucket.com/albums/v99/wa.../alexbanner.jpg

Awesome!! :-) I love that bird! :-)

Sorry... can't support the opinions of these people.1) some sort of odd shaping there on the nose cone. And it's not just from one angle. The tip of the nose looks like on one of our CV-240s, which were added on for the weather radar, and not an integrated part.2) Wingtips are totally wrong. PMDG's are not curved down at the tip with the ID light fairing smoothed in. That's a 737-300/400/500 tip, not an NG tip.3) Flap Canoes are too rounded. They've got almost flat tip ends, not nearly as rounded as they have them. Real plane looks more like a MD-88 tail from the side and less like an original MD-81 cone-tail like they've got.4) Something's off with the engine inlet shape. Not round enough. The CFM installation on the NG's is a lot rounder than that.5) Engine spike is wrong design. It's pointed on the NGs, not rounded.6) Something looks off in the shape of the fuse. Not enough definition between the two bubbles. It's more noticeable than they've got it. The texture line does more to make it look like 2 ovals that the shape of the fuse itself. That's just plain off.

Excel-lent :D

Chris,I suggest you post this on the PMDG support forum, so that the modeler gurus over there can take a gander at it.

>Cheers guys now go out and buy the NG ! :(>G-MIDYWhy? If I wanted to fly a 739...I'd use mine. I figure I may as well use it, for the price I paid for it and all... :-hah

Always one in the crowd. You know what I think only matters to those who know me and I think it's a beautiful bird, not only does it look good there is no other 737 that flys anywhere close to it, NuFF said. Of course if you actually fly from the cockpit....[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

I would if I thought it'd get me anywhere Fred. I tried with the first NGs, I even posted pictures, and it went no where.Actually, if I remember correctly, that and about 5 other threads ended up being deleted because instead of responding intelligently, other users flamed those who "dared" to dissent on a "perfect product" and voice our opinions to the contrary.

I have to agree with Randy maybe there are minor "problems" un-noticable to most, still i believe PMDG has outdone itself on the panel alone, yet the model is amazingly realistic in my eyes. The PMDG 737NG family is worth the value without a doubt and i personally cannot wait for their future products especially the 744..Wow! Thanks for the comments more screens to come soon! :(G-MIDY :-scatter
