Is there, or will there be a Milviz Freighter version available? Nevermind, I see it's a Combo. Believe Ill just keep flying the CS 737F with the RXP GNS unitil perhaps later. I have no issues with it.

There are three fully configurable versions to fly: cargo, combi, and pax. Any one of these can be paired with any livery in real-time.

 

Other options include adding the gravel kit to any livery, and selecting which avionics suite to use; the original SP77 dual axis autopilot or the more advanced SP-177 and UNS1-Fw FMS.

I see that Bill. Thats neat. Thank you. One item that seems some what piculiar. There is a FMC option but no EHSI, just a standard HSI navdisplay. Seems, IMO, at least a Kings EFS40 EHSI ND would be in order. Or similiar

My only real gripe about the MilViz 737-200 (apart from the lack of FL CH mode; which is being added soon), is the fact that you can only have the FMS with the SP177 autopilot option.  

 

I don't know why MilViz have 'tied' the FMS with the SP177; there are many 737-200s that flew with FMS and the more basic SP77 (Alaska had 6 like this, until 2006).

 

I hope Milviz will consider updating the Config Tool so that we can choose "SP77" and "SP177", both with or without the UNS FMC.   :smile:

ok, it's nice to be volunteer to make all avionics variant of this bird

 

we appreciate that...  

Sometimes we try to be diplomatic, but other times the truth is so obvious, we just have to cut to the chase;  

The Just Flight (BBS) 737-200 and Captain Sim 737-200 are both awful.   (for different reasons.... but awful).

 

The MilViz 737-200 is a huge step up, and far better all round plane in every way  -  get it.   

 

If you're even slightly happy with the Just Flight 737-200, you will LOVE the MilViz 737 !!! :smile:

 

+1

 

Also, cutting to the chase......

 

While the Milviz 737 is not yet completely finished,  (there are frequent Hot-Fixes, which  will eventually lead to a SP),  even as it is,  with some functionality  not yet working,  it is still far more functional than the CS,  or Just Flight 737s.

 

VC is far better,  optional DX11 VC Lighting is now EXCEPTIONAL, and what is completed works as expected.

 

While there are some feature yet to be completed,( most of which also don't work  in any competitors "Steam Gauge" 737s,) the plane is still readily flyable,  and the plane is still in "active development", to complete what is missing.

 

Unlike the other "Completed" 737s,(  That claim to be Finished,  and will probably never have their many Bugs corrected),  the MilViz  is getting better and better each week.

 

Also, during this time, you have the unique opportunity,  to contribute  to what it will end up being, by making suggestions  etc,  on their forum. 

 

No,  it is not a PMDG 737NGX  or PMDG777  level of detail,  but it is far more detailed and advanced than any of the other "Steam Gauge" 737s  out there.

 

My Advice...  If you want a good "Steam Gauge" 737,  get the Milviz 737-200 NOW, and you can actively contribute to it's final development.

 

If you delay, and wait till the SP comes out,  you may loose the opportunity to get corrected  anything you find later, that "BUGS" you.

 

The only NEGATIVE to getting the Milviz 737-200,  is that if you have the CS 737,  or  Just Flight 737,  you will probably never want to go back to them, and they will end up rotting in your hanger  !!.

We're looking at doing a livery pack.

 

Thanks for the vote(s) of confidence. It's appreciated.

 

This would be awesome. I hope you don't forget TAP Air Portugal

I would have bought the Milviz but I can't open Flight 1 stuff any more :-(   Is it available without the Flight 1 wrapper please?

Milviz 732 is superb.

 

Can't wait for the livery pack.  That will top it off. 

 

Thanks Milviz - you win again.

 

That is all.

My only real gripe about the MilViz 737-200 (apart from the lack of FL CH mode; which is being added soon), is the fact that you can only have the FMS with the SP177 autopilot option.

I use the above for a free fmc when needed, just takes a few minutes to set up and works perfect. Its in the avsim library

I bought the CS 737 at the 9.99 yard sale. I would never pay full freight for CS products. By itself, its not worth even 9.99 euros. But, the community stepped up on this one and if you're willing to take the time to  install many fixes and mod's ( in their forum), the FDE feels real , the major bugs will no longer be an issue,  and it fly's nice to match performance of the real JT8D-15 engines. But it will take time and patience to get there. Of course it has bugs that will never be fixed but no show stoppers with the mods and fixes. I'm really enjoying it now.  Graphic's are top rate and beautiful. Just read the forums to make an informed decision.  Don't have Milvis 737 so I can't comment.

I would have bought the Milviz but I can't open Flight 1 stuff any more :-(   Is it available without the Flight 1 wrapper please?

 

No.  Sorry.  When we've got the AP and the AB's all fixed up, then we will release it to the portals. Till then, only off of our site available it is...  (just watched star wars V with the kid... )

I see that Bill. Thats neat. Thank you. One item that seems some what piculiar. There is a FMC option but no EHSI, just a standard HSI navdisplay. Seems, IMO, at least a Kings EFS40 EHSI ND would be in order. Or similiar

At the time these "field additions" were made, such EHSI's hadn't been invented yet...

 

...or at least that's the storyline we followed when developing the scope of the project.  ^_^
