Evolution of the B737 Series

Featured Replies

My 737 Group has been especially under-utililized. I extracted my 737 models and thought it may be interesting to capture (B2B) together the (static) images of the successive variants. 737 has the unique distinction of being the only commercial aircraft to have been continuously manufactured since 1967.

Please allow for the differences in the fidelity of the simulations while viewing the sequence. I have skipped VC shots for some models, where I could not detect any significant difference (at least in my eyes). The chosen images belong to CS 200, Wilco 300/400/500. iFly 600/700, and PMDG 800/900, shown in the same order. (Maybe I will try the CS 737-200 next for a short hop.)

Thanks for viewing.

What a cool series. Nice idea! However, the -200 seems still to be the most interesting of all.

One of my first payware 737's was the Wilco Pilot In Command 737. If I remember correctly, it was the -400, -500 and -600.  Anyway, I loved them very much, and was sorry to let them go when I moved to P3DV4.  But some great memories.

Herald: Yes, I agree the CS-200 is the most appealing of the set...true old-style...I have not flown it for a few years now (did fly the Milviz 200 in a recent post....equally good), but the CS 200, unlike the MilViz one, I recall, has no FMC nor even GPS navigation..so pure VOR to to VOR...should be still fun, but maybe later...🙂...

Dave: You are right. I remember that one. In fact, I believe the VCs were a bit more authentic there than the latest Evolution version, but this is the only version I could extract & install for now...

Thanks, all! Good rest of the weekend to you.

Or INS navigation? A lot of fun, too, as I remember, if you take time to initialize first and if you don't forget to change the cards en route...

Good suggestion, Herald. I have not installed/tested INS on this aircraft, but, I will try. I think I may already have the source materials somewhere....GPS navigation is not for this worthy SIM anyway...🙂...

Great History in Pictures.
