AirEuropa EC-NBL uploaded....will be available as soon as the Library mods post her.   I've wanted to paint this livery for ages....never got around to it until the Max project. 🙂   I really like it's colors and simplicity.

Nice work, Steve! I have seen this livery in RL, and you definitely nailed the blue tone. Thanks for another great livery!

Steve are you using photoshop for the clouds in this pic?

Yes, this is a Photoshop plugin for creating cloud backdrops in PSP.  Sadly the clouds in P3d will never look this good. 😞    Just a little artistic liberty on my part.  I'll add a disclaimer on the pics in the future like I've done before.

 All good, I remember seeing the disclaimer in your pics a few weeks ago. But Didn’t know if we were seeing a future iteration of P3d!

I think ANY shade of blue against white on an aircraft just looks right. 😊

LOL, better see if their crew scheduling app is back up and running before you leave home Steve. Enjoy your flight. This is one of the best sim planes ever.

Yeah...sadly SWA is going to be seriously impacted by this...and even if they get all the issues resolved....public trust has been shattered, I bet the VP of Public Relations is shopping for a new job right about now...I wouldn't want to deal with this PR issue!

Very nice, thank you for your hard work guys ! I always prefered the old SWA livery, I think it looks so smart on the Boeing 737, all types.

I tried to make my first flight. I didn't do the tutorial because I thought it would be the same or similar to NGXu... but it's not?

I followed the checklist I did for the NGXu and everything seemed OK...

The problem was after arriving at FL100 after leaving EKCH, the plane would not climb any further although on the FMC it had the route correctly inserted.

I also had an "insufficient fuel" warning even though I put the data provided by simbrief into the Config Tool... strange.

Looks like I'm really going to have to do the tutorial....

Off-topic: how nice to be able to use Historical Weather! my flight was at 8am local time (although it was 10 p.m. local time where I am...). With Live Weather the temperature would be totally different, right?

I agree historical weather with ActiveSky is great!

The plane should operate very similarly to the PMDG. Your screenshots seem to be in low resolution so it's hard to see the settings. Did you remember to click update :p, maybe double check the fuel loaded matches whats shown in the system display. Did you also set the cruise altitude in the initialization?

Yes, I did all that.

I will try to repeat the flight later on...

Edit: why does the plane make little "jumps" when it's in the Gate? Chaseplane?

Yep... I turn off "Acceleration" in the camera settings...

It was surely something I missed because now everything went well.

And how she flies!

Love the EFB too. Better than others, cof-cof.
