April 2, 201115 yr I've found a topic about this bird in Fs9 forum but it's old and there were many agruements which I don't want to bring it up again.Wilco/Feelthere did upgrade their bird with a new SP times ago.Just want to know your opinions ,no comparison or anything :( Hoang Le i7 13700k - Sapphire Nitro+ AMD RX 7900 XT - Asus TUF Z790 PLUS D4 - Gskill Trident 32GB DDR4-3600 LG 34GP63A-B Ultrawide - ASUS VG259QM MSFS2020
April 2, 201115 yr As someone who enjoys the PMDG/LVD birds, I also fully enjoy the Wilco/FT 737. It has it's quirks but is still very enjoyable and has a great systems model.My biggest gripe about the FT/Wilco 737 is that it has no external fuel/payload loader/editor. Al Stiff
April 2, 201115 yr I agree with the above. Despite its reputation, I think it's still an excellent simulation even considering its age now. Yes it has some little quirks that you'll need to get used to, but which real aircraft doesn't? i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 580 @ 950MHz, OCZ Vertex II 240GB, ASUS Xonar DG, Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W PSU, Antec KÜHLER 620 W/C, Corsair 600T SE White My FS9 Screens - http://fs9screens.blogspot.com/ Callum Richardson

April 2, 201115 yr Can you name out some of the problems that this aircraft has?/Thanks for your comments :(Well the tail sits a little high on the main landing gear which on my install I adjusted the contact points for a more level profile on the ground. Many have commented on the look of the VC which is a problem. Other than that for me I find nothing else really wrong with the bird.

April 2, 201115 yr I agree with that too.HiI would agree with all of the previous users too. I use the FT/Wilco 737 for the 300 - 500 versions and the PMDG for the 600 - 900 versions and enjoy both. I would say that the PMDG version has the edge in terms of modeling both externally and internally in the cockpit and, if you are big into systems, the PMDG version is certainly closer to reality, although, if you wish, you can also get into the PMDG 737s and just fly, without getting too involved in the systems.Bill

I will say this, I can't believe the older PMDG 737 is still priced the way it is with a better lower priced model on the market, oh well...

But the way I fly planes in FS is that I always try to deal and to face with what they give me. Sometimes I can find out the problems, but mostly I think that because of the realistic or "because that how it is". Yeah..that's why I need comments from other peopleHiI would agree with all of the previous users too.

April 2, 201115 yr I use the wilco extensively and have for a long time. I love everything about the old bird. Yeah there are a few things that are irksome but the only real problem I have is with the autpilot. The bank angles get to steep and sometimes it doesn't want to follow the glideslope but if you figure that in and adjust to compensate, it is a real joy to fly.

April 4, 201115 yr Hi AllIs the Wilco 737PIC the same as the JustFlight 737 PIC (shown here http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=116)There seems to be quite a difference in the price between JF one and Wilco one - just wondered if they were two totally different products?ThanksMartin

Also, the Wilco 737PIC series is listed in my aircraft folder as the 'feelThere' 737 PIC series - even more confusing :( I fly the PMDG 600/700 and 800/900 versions too and although the feelThere PIC virtual cockpit is poor by comparison with these, I can easily live with that. I've never tried the iFly 737 - now I am tempted but is it still available? John

I actually got mine from Just Flight, long ago.
