June 30, 20223 yr Milviz have just been running a quick competition on their discord offering a prize to the first person to guess one of their future aircraft and the correct answer turns out to be the Boeing 737-200. No more details yet and considering how many planes Milviz have planned already I'm not expecting to see this any time soon.

If so it's a late 60s aircraft and a very very different kind of beast to the 737-300 let alone the 737NGs PMDG are creating. In age (and style of flying - arguably) it's closer to the DC-6 than the 737-700 Edited June 30, 20223 yr by Matchstick

And I have always had a really soft spot for those cigar shaped engines and the retro British Airways livery. If someone would do the 727 next I would be set for life more or less.. 😉 Richard 7950x3d | 32Gb 6000mHz RAM | 8Tb NVme | RTX 4090 | MSFS | P3D | XP12

Having as wide a variety of good quality aircraft as possible in order suit as many different tastes as possible is a good thing for the sim.

I feel like I've waited SO long for milviz to release something that aligned to my tastes.

When I saw 737-200 I had an immediate flash back to getting a free pack of playing cards on Delta Airlines - ahhhh... those were the days. I wonder if they'll simulate haze in the passenger cabin from everyone smoking. It would actually be interesting to go back and forth between a 737-200 and an 800 too see how far things have progressed.
