October 6, 201015 yr I think a different word replacing what I emphasized below might explain better what you want to know. Also it is required to sign your posts with your first and last name according to forum rules.Are you perhaps refering to "anatomy" as to how this model is organized, or are you referring to "autonomy" as written wanting to know how one model depends on another in this series.Please make that a little clearer for us to understand. May I know what is the autonomy of thode plane?Regards,Luigi

October 6, 201015 yr I assume you are talking distance. See if this non-official real world specification chart can help:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B737-600#SpecificationsIt is for all four models and variants.If you have all four PMDG models installed, in your PMDG folder under FS9 you will find a folder called "737TNG" and under that "Aircraft Operating Manuals 737-800-900". This file "02_CRUISE_PERFORMANCE_737_678900_V14.pdf" covers all models and should help with your distance planning requirements for comparison purposes.Note that, of course, your altitude and air speed, load factor, etc., affect your range in terms of flight time. Add to that your winds to get your effective ground speed so you can calculate distance covered. In terms of fuel don't forget to include the required forty-five minute reserve plus additional reserve requirements under NATS or PAC ocean crossing rules (ETOPS) if that applies.It seems that in practical terms with careful loading you can expect a 738 to do a five to five and three-quarter hour range as exhibited by flights from San Francisco to Honolulu as I recall. I see there is a Continental flight with a duration of 5:45 anticipated. Other west coast flights on other airlines are scheduled to HNL from Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, B.C. These examples wold be against the average westerly wind flow.For good examples of real/world 738 routes in Europe, possibly other models, look at airberlin.com and tuifly.com schedules.

I followes your suggestion but, in my FS9 folder I do not have any 737TNG!!!!!See the attachement.Bramboref
