B737 Question

Featured Replies

Does anyone know which is more likely to have the most accuarate flight model between the Wilco, Default or Posky 737s?I know they're different variants. Doesn't matter. I'm just looking for the best flight model WITH a VC.Thanks

Hi DougalI do quite a lot of VA flying and I the Wilco 737 is by far my favourite. The systems are generally fully functional, engine start procedure has to be done correctly and the APU consumes fuel. However, for me the best feature is the FMC which has to be programmed correctly but, once set up, provides excellent aircraft navigation and system mangement. This aircraft also works well with the VR Insight MCP Combo Panel which came to me via Father Christmas!The Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI) and the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) can both be displayed in 2D format by clicking o them in the 3D cockpit which helps during TO and Approach/Landing. There is an accompanying gude, written by an 737 Captain, in which the various steps and procedures are well explained.Can't add anymore reallyRgds - Roger

I remember the version for fs9 was really a frame rate killer, is the version for fsx, better and smoother?here are my specs, would I have problems?i7-930 o/c 4.3GhzASUS P6TD Deluxe mobo6 gigs DDR3 ramEVGA GTX 470640 Gig HD at 7200 rpm150 Gig HD at 10,000 rpmcreative Xfi soundblaster cardFSX w/sp2Win 7 64bit home premium

Actually it's pretty lite on frames, considering it's a complex system model!!

Thanks

Wilco is not bad, but I'm real old ladies fan, I'm waiting for Captain Sim's one, they have recently released first preview - looks good. Hope development will not take too long.

Regards,
Stan

Thanks for info guys, but I guess didn't make myself understood, sorry... I do have these aircraft.When I refered to the flight model, I meant just that. Which has the most accurate flight handling characteristics to that of a real 737?The three birds all seem to behave quite differently, especially with regard to trim control and elevator response.Thanks again

Interesting question. Who knows? None of us armchair pilots, that's for sure. I don't think you're going to find out unless we have some 737 flight crew on the forums. And even then, they might disagree! At the very least you'd need time in a commercial simulator to help form a meaningful opinion.I believe the Wilco aircraft was checked out by 737 pilots during its development, so presumably it isn't too far off?
