Hi,I frequent Simviation, and found this on thier home page.http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Alejandro+Rojas+Lucena&x=12&y=8the top one is a modification to the default 737-800. Includes working wipers, with rain effect. Working Autobrake switch, GPWS, and...a realistic FMC!After looking for the folder, I installed this, WOW what an upgrade! The VC is still awful when compared to high-quality payware, but rain effect is there, as well as GPWS, and the FMC is also functional.Just something for the guys who still use default, but don't want to pay for a step up.

Looks cool. Thanks for the head's up!

Looks great. Thanks a lot!Cheers,Noel.

Woah, thanks! Def gonna check this out.

Forgot to say, full credit goes to Alejandro Rojas Lucena, Creator of this wonderful mod!

Despite looking so promising, for some reason I don't have a clue how to get it installed. Do you merge the folders with the original default, or replace them entirely? I'm usually fine with this kind of thing but I can't get my head round this one. There's no decent instructions in the readme either.edit: No worries, got it, I stupidly tried to add lots of liveries at the same time for it, it messed everything up.

How did you do it Will ?

Brilliant! Thanks for this heads up!

How did you do it Will ?

Tried at first to install the files to a seperate place then move them manually to the default 737 folder, but the way I should've done it and the way it worked was to just install it straight onto the main FSX folder, it then finds it's own way.I could do with some tips on getting the FMC working though, don't have a clue.

Thanks for the heads up! PMDG has got some serious competition now! LOL

Yes, thanks for sharing that. Looking forward to giving it a try.Regards,

This isn't bad as a budget upgrade to a default ac. The vnav on the fmc needs a little more work however; it calculated my final climb segment and cruise speed at 477 kts which blew a few cobwebs out of the engines I can tell you! :-)

Hi I also had a look and liked it a lot, not having the time like some heavy pilots to sit down with the PMDG and get it flying this might be right up my street. I was wondering though is there an updated FDE file for the default 737 someone has done that added with this upgrade would be superb. Thanks Shaun

There is also an update now. Solves some issues that have been reported. Just install over the original upgrade. Same link as before (http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Alejandro+Rojas+Lucena&x=12&y=. I've tried this upgrade out and it's given me a couple of bugs, but that may be the cause of FSX's shared cockpit in multiplayer. Otherwise, this addon is spectacular! Couple of things I don't like, but in all respect, spectacular credit has to be given to the developer!

I am all over this, I fly with the default 737 and have always wanted a somewhat improved VC. While I would probably love the PMDG I just do not have the time to go through the learning curve at this time, hopefully this make my flying the default 737 more pleasurable.

Look through your downloaded zip file, there is an FMC folder and appears to be an 8 pg manual regarding the FMC.
