Looks no one has posted anything about this, but TDS has just released the 737-800 B)

Released just on my birthday ^_^ :Party: . Thanks a lot, TDS! Very nice present of yours.

I dropped it into an Aeroflot suit, and it looked Quait Nice, thank you TDS...

 

 

I've been trialling a very wide screen, and found the 2D panel gauges unusable, of course.

But then I stacked up the windows, and I'm sure there is a good solution there somewhere:

 

 

And since the panel came over from the TDS -700, so did edetroit's flap vortex, thanks Ed!

Looks like something from 2005 - Deja Vu all over again!

Almost correct: According to Wikipedia, "the domestic terminal [of Tolmachevo Airport, HG] was completely renovated in 2006." ^_^

Thanks guys, we hope you enjoy this aircraft - I've been toying with the idea of making an official 2d panel to go along with it as well (no vc, don't have the time sorry). If anyone sees this and is wondering about FSX - those specific files (native model and FDE) will be available soon. I am currently in the process of creating the -900 master textures, followed by the -600, then the MAX-series.

Isn't the a freeare NG panel available somewhere? I'm thinking of installing fs9 in the wife's laptop along with this bird. Is it good on frames?

 

Jon,

 

There's the PSPanels 737NG Panel; I use it with the TDS -700:

It looks really nice!

Have tried one download of this aircraft,and found it to be a bit of a performance hog on my (old) PC.

Obviously if you have a newer machine than mine it probably won't be an issue for you.

I can always tell if an aircraft is not going to perform well on my setup when I select it and it doesn't revolve smoothly in the preview screen.

No worries for me though there are still wall to wall poskies out there.

Whatever your choice of 737NGs the Paul Scarrett panel is by far the best (amongst the freeware offering's anyway IMO) out there.

Nice that people are still creating stuff for the old grandad of sims though.

 

Cheers

Shouldn't it be possible to use Arjan Scheffels panel (as WingZ showed here for the 737-700) and upgrade it with an FMC?

So far I have only heard of the payware FMC by Integrated Simavionics. Is there also a freeware FMC out there in the libraries? And will the FMC work together with the plane then?

 

By the way, thanks TDS and good luck for making the -900 and -600 variants, as the -600 is the plane of my interest.

The Scheffel panel should certainly work - but I do not think one could fiddle with the panel functions!

Still, the greatest thing abut freeware is you can experiment, so maybe someone could come up with something...

 

I'm kind of keen to see the MAX modelled, I would have thought it impossible to squeeze yet another few centimetres onto the engine waistline, given the already minimal ground clearance!

 

And Kyle: yes, what a good idea! preferably one that comes in separate scalable windows (See above).

I've found on super-wide aspect that many one-piece 2D panels are unusable.         

So, should I decide to buy these gauges, will they work with the TDS 737 series generally?

Their functionality together with the AS panel would be a matter of testing.

Thanks,

Harald
