I smell BS :(

i was thinking the same thing. but it would be sick to see it actually happen.

That is a genuine 737 upgrade, it is the ARC Advanced Cockpit. ARC Avionics, Commercial Jet, DAC International and Universal Avionics are the companies involved in producing all the equipment it includes. It has pretty much everything an NG has (and some things it has not as well) apart from the EFIS panel. It can handle R-PNAV, RNP-1, WAAS, and it has a synthetic vision 3D display of the terrain ahead, which it looks like two of the PFDs are displaying in that pic.It's not a cheap option, but it is cheaper to tart up a 300 or 200ADV than it is to replace it with an NG, so if you have a Classic 737 with a lot of hours still available on it, then it is worth doing and is probably a likely upgrade for a DIY BBJ-type conversion.Now do you agree PMDG should make an older 737? LOLAl

yes now that you have confirmed this! id like PMDG to make the classic just liek the NGX and have every model available. including this. but we all know they wont go that far.i just want to see a 737 Classic X

really seems like weird....but interesting. I thought for a while NASA flight-navigational development test plane. Honestly I still love "classic panels" in a "classic 737".

The really weird cockpit set up in the NASA 737-100 (which was the very first 737 ever built), was when it actually had two cockpits, the one at the front and one in the cabin so that they could have pilots test out early FMCs whilst blind flying it safely.With regard to that ARC upgrade on the early 737s, I have actually considered having a crack at replicating it once or twice for an FSX aircraft; I think if the default FSX 737 cockpit was merged with a 300 external model, and then the panel config file was tweaked with suitable instruments and the cockpit bitmaps redrawn a bit, it would be possible to have something that looked and acted very much like it. I might give that a shot one day.Al
