Knowing @Steve Dra, he is likely working on more than 800 liveries.  Possibly 900, but that would be his MAX - at which point he'd work on no more than 7-10.  🧐

There's little chance he'd catch a 'Bus to go anywhere, so for the time Boeing, we're happy to have him around.

All in good fun, @Steve Dra.  Glad to know "YA".

LOL...the innuendos were thick in that post Scott!  And trust me...I got "YA" when the PMDG 748 graces the MSFS skies. 😉  I just saw the your former airline is taking the 737 to the "MAX" with another huge order...and I'm sure I'll be painting a Delta Max when she comes out....possibly in both P3D AND MSFS. 🤐🤐🤐🤐

Never been a better time to be a simmer (and a painter as it turns out, LOL)

i wish the fmc had popout's, I was wanting to use my fmc on my tablet but pmdg didn't include popout's for whatever reason. maybe in a future update. I don't own the 700 version, so i don't know if it does.

Go get Aviawork's FMC for PMDG, i use it on a Samsung Tablet and never would miss it that way !

cheers 😉

I concur. Well worth the tenner. 

The EFB is going into testing, did they show any of it yet? Even how it looks like turned off without any interface on?

No, nothing

so they're likely a little FOS then... You'd think they'd want to excite the community just even a bit.

Does the overhead work on tablets as well? I have a 12.9 inch ipad as well as a couple samsung android tablets. The website doesn't seem to be specific about each module, with the acception that everything works with everything. I ran across air manager as well, But i wasn't sure if it was any good either.

Have you got it working on the 600?

I downloaded the demo but all I get is a black screen on the tablet

Yes. They released a new version of the CDU for the 600. You need to start the client a couple of times. First to download the update and second to install the update.

Thank you,

I actually got it working. There was a couple of lines missing from a configuration file. I found it in another post. How do you find the responsiveness of the button pushes?

The 737-600 is great! At first it was simply the price, which was very tempting to buy it (I wanted to buy the Fenix first but this one is even priced more competitive). But when I studying the real 736 a bit, I really got excited about the possibilites and bought it.

Despite that only 69 have been delivered, making it a totally niche airplane, I see these advantages that make it a fantastic aircraft to fly in the sim:

• The Baby-Boeing is like the bushplane among the airliners.
• While the 737 in general already is the aircraft with one of the best flight performance, the 736 must have the best performance of all the 737 types.
• Among mainline airlines operating it, it must have been the most regional-aircraft-like-type in their fleets. At SAS, Lauda, WestJets this means that 736 probably served their least crowded and smallest destinations.
• With the SAS livery, you can fly to a large number of smaller Scandinavian destinations, Lauda flew to many mediterranean holiday places, AUA had an almost monopoly to serve smaller eastern european destination and also WestJet seems to fly to some pretty remote places. This means, you can fly to many interesting smaller places.
• This also means, that the hops sometimes can be very short. A SID, a STAR, one or two waypoints and that's it. You don't even need Simbrief to plan routes. The boring cruise part is minimized.

 

WestJet’s 736’s tended to appear pretty much anywhere in their network, they would insert them where demand was a bit lower so realistically you could take pretty much any 737-700 or 738 route today and drop the 736 in and it would be historic-realistic.  I flew mine YHZ-YVR the other day which was a -700 flight in real life…it has the same (or maybe slightly longer?) range as the -700 so they can perform pretty much the same flights.

The other interesting use for this is the included repaint for Aeroflyer, operated by Kelowna Flightcraft which does ad hoc charter flying primarily in Western Canada but you could conceivably send it anyway on a charter assignment.

Really! Not very many. I think there's more than 69 different liveries on Flightsim.to. lol
