I use the PMDG 737-600 or -700 for short fields. You may have to reduce the load and fuel depending on runway length, temps, etc.

 

Many Orbx airports support 737's that I buy.....in fact, that is an important criteria for me.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions!

 

Maybe one day in the future orbx will make a large American international airport

I've got the US and Europe Freeware packs but I'd only checked them out briefly in GA Planes. I honestly didn't think they would have long enough runways for the 737-800 but this thread got me to input the airports into TOPCAT just to quickly get the runway lengths to see what came up and I was pleasantly surprised!

 

I've only done the European ones so far from https://www.fullterrain.com/freeware/global

Assuming a Take off weight of 62000 KG here are the airports that have a runway length of at least ~2000 m

 

eblg (2340m/3690m)

ebzr (2980m)

edcp (2400m)

 

esnn (1950m) (barely!)

esnq (2502m)

 

ldsp (2550m)

lfaq (2200m)

lfcr (2040m)

lfmk (2050m/800m)

 

lfmu (2000m)

lfrg (2550m)

lgio (2402m)

lgkf (2430m)

lgkv (3000m/3000m)

lgpz (2871m/2813m)

lgza (2228m)

limp (2122m)

lirz (2199m)

 

So out of the 58 airports in the pack, you can take off in the 737-800 from 18 of them! That's pretty good value for money...

For sure that's a great deal! Thanks!
