Much like the 800 but with bigger screens. Make a big difference flying on a computer. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
March 3Mar 3 Author 57 minutes ago, Fielder said: My rule of thumb is, if it's too big to land at EGLC (London City), then it's too big to interest me. I want to fly to wherever I want, not to only wherever the runways are long enough. From London City "Wiki" not "AI": "Mid-range airliners seen at London City include the ATR 42 (both −300 and −500 variants), ATR 72, Airbus A318, Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, BAe 146/Avro RJ, Dornier 328, Embraer ERJ 135, Embraer 170, Embraer 190 and Fokker 50. On 30 January 2009, trials were completed successfully with the ATR 72–500, leading to its approval for use at the airport. The Embraer 190SR underwent trials from 28 March 2009 and thereafter gained approval. The Fokker 70, BAe Jetstream 41, Saab 340 and Saab 2000 also have approval for scheduled operations at the airport. A number of airlines including Swiss and Odyssey have ordered the Airbus A220 with the intention of operating it from London City once delivered and approved." My Note: I do not see any of the 3 737 a/c that are supposed to tug at your heartstrings here... @Fielder...alas... Edited March 3Mar 3 by P_7878
March 3Mar 3 Author 6 hours ago, Holdit said: The Boeings and Buses are, but I have a soft spot for the BAe RJ's and the MD80. Not enough to actually fly them, but they do have plenty of character compared to the others, and I get the impression that they're a bit more hands-on. My Black Square Bonanza keeps me busy enough for now... I really like the BAe and RJs too. It's already available in the Marketplace, I think. In fact, that's top on my list of future (MSFS) acquisitions. I was regularly landing those (QW) BAe/RJ airliners into EGLC airport, probably before they were formally and officially approved for operations there ...🙂... (see also my EGLC Wiki snippet above). Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. I have the 146 - it keeps one quite busy when flying! At some point I’m going to add the RJ since it’s got a lot more pilot relief systems 😂

BTW, please tell iFly to send their product to the Marketplace...🙂..., because, apparently, there are some architectural incompatibilities now between iFly and Marketplace...Oh well...I can live with it... Regarding Air Algerie -600, you mean the following picture. Right? I used to have a colleague (office mate) for several years who was from Algeria and would take the Air Algerie 767 (alas, we don't have a 767 in MSFS), from Chicago O'Hare to Paris Orly, regularly once a year, when the whole office would be mine...🙂...so, this became a favorite airline of mine too. See at your convenience one post of mine, below the picture, with this Air Algerie 736, and hope you like it, as an Air Algerie fan.

The SWA -700s, I recall, used to take a lot from Midway many moons ago. I’ve not travelled in SWA now in ages, neither have I visited MDW…
