    I see what you're trying to do here, but I won't be playing along much.

     

    The biggest thing people don't realize, is that we (along with most freeware 'vendors') create what we want, no matter what others want. If we made simply what 'most' want, we would never release anything, because there would be no motivation to finish any project.

     

    You're somewhat right - there have been a few 737NG-series released, even as freeware. But they are all well-outdated. To say (as you put it) 'nothing new,' is not something I'd agree with.

     

    Let me answer specifically why not the 737-300 thru -500. For myself, personally, I am involved with a payware group creating that 737 range for FSX, and working on another project for the same aircraft series would violate my obligations to that FSX group. The other big reason for me why I wouldn't get involved with a 737 'new generation' project for FS9 is because I don't believe the 50North model can be beaten in terms of overall accuracy. That model is about as spot-on as you can get. The other freeware 737NG's leave a lot out there to be improved upon, however. And I personally know each of the developers of the two, main aforementioned models being discussed here, and they would both agree with that statement. Heck, one of them is the modeler of this new TDS 737.

     

    Some of the other arguments I've seen puts us up against iFly and PMDG - two payware developers. Not everyone has the capability to purchase payware add-ons. Even so, we do not produce aircraft to compete with other developers. Back to step 1, we make what we want to. Users simply have another choice of which they would like to download. I'm not going to make comparisons with our model versus others' because that would be flat-out disrespectful, but I will say that I am very pleased with what our 737 has become.

     

    737s are extremely popular aircraft. I'm sure a few people will get some entertainment out of our model. If that person isn't you, then so be it, won't affect us in the slightest bit. But to say our efforts are 'wasted,' is simply rude and untrue. You mention you want a 777 - if there is any add-on that has been done MORE than the 737NG, it would probably be that one (or a 767). Project Opensky/SkySpirit (updated) created a full, freeware 777 series with a very nice virtual cockpit. It may not come with an FMC, but I'm sure there are free/cheap ones out there that can be added to function with the aircraft.

     

    Again, we create what we want to create, and we are thankful to be able to share those developments with those that choose to use them. We don't aim to compete with any other products, companies or groups, and we certainly don't expect anybody to kiss the ground we walk on. However, disrespectful and comments just to be negative, do not help. If there is a legitimate flaw with something we create, we will happily continue to look and improve the aesthetics of our add-ons. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.

    AMEN Kyle....Just keep doing what YOU all want to do. You make them...WE, the appreciative ones will fly them. Those that complain can go and take their free time and make freeware. Amazed at the responses and disrespect to those who support this hobby with freeware. I have wishes, sure, but in time they will come. Seems like the phrase I used with my daughter a few years ago is in order for SevenFour_Fan, "You get what you get. Be happy that with that."

    Once again, excellent livery! That really must have been a sharp turn in the third image

     

    Has to be, or you end up kissing the mountain. Check out airliners.net and look for the Insel MD-82 reg. PJ-MDC taken by Timo Breidenstien. It will show you what it looks like. I'd post the link but not allowed to.

    Had a little time to do a quick flight today SXM-CCS in my trusty Tri-Star. Bringing a little sugar to the good people of Caracas while dropping off some tourists back home. Hoping to pick up a nice little load of cacao beans while we are here. ENJOY!

    YOU....light up my life! Taxiing out with a pretty full load of PAX and cargo.

    Always love the climb-out and the sharp right after departure here.

    Can't you just hear that unique engine sound that she has?

    Upwind for the approach to runway 10. Clouds look nice too!

    a little long on the landing...anymore and I would have had to go-around. DON'T want to go long on this runway.....

    though I had not realized that the L-1011 is that short and stubby.

     

    The -500 variant is the shorter version in the 1011 family :-)

     

    Agreed. This really how the planes looks in game? Amazing if so, better than anything I've seen in FSX even.

     

    Yes, I didn't modify the screenshots at all. As, I said Ed's paint takes the glory for this as the phot-real paint really stands out.

     

    It is from Aerosim website. I wanted to buy Aerosim L1011 and DC-8s but the website is in all Japanese language and I cannot make heads or tails out of it so I did not buy.

     

    Also, although Aerosim L1011s and DC-8s are FS2004, many people have no problem flying them in FSX with FS2004 panels intact!! How? I do not know!!

    There is an English site to Aerosim too! http://www.aerosim.co.jp/ just click ont he ENGLISH button on the right and buy it :-)

     

     

     

     

    Thank you all for the comments. Thinking about a little run over to CCS today. Look for more screenies!

    Hey all, long time no postings, so I needed do break out the old Aerosim :p0502: and paint by our good friend Ed! Modified her just a tad with a fictional LC holiday charter livery, but here she is in all her glory, on a quick hop from MMTC-MMMX :mexico-flag: . I am checking out all my new Taxi2Gate scenery packs. I was so impressed with their KSTL one, that I picked up pretty much every other one they had. Nice and detailed, LOW FPS hit. Enjoy!! :drinks:
