Ok I've spent lot of time reaing various threads on this bird but here's my dilema.I m desperate for a good quality B737 in FSX and am too impatient to wait for PMDG's offering which is likely at east a year away :( I struggle however with using VCs. I own TrackIR but find the whole experience unatural and difficult to use properly.The Ariane 737 looks pretty good however it is alot of money and before I make such a large investment I'd like to canvas opinions from any usersparticularly regarding VC ease of use and the lack of SID/STAR procedures.In short; should I buy this product? What are its good and bad points?Any help/advice gratefully receivedThanksBen

Amen Ryan! This is going to be one complex bird... but one well worth taming

SWEET!!What scenery is that for Southampton Kurt?

Quite simply......... Breathtaking!!!Ben Hall

Getting cold just thinking about it!!! :(

Just when you thought FS couldn't get any better.....PMDG do it again :( I too need to get out of 2D flying and get used to 3D and TRACK IR, but this baby will make it all worthwhile.Looking forward to this little British gem!!Ben

Hi Tony,Yep the curse of vista once again :( Thanks for your helpBen

Thanks for all your input guys will try it outBen

Hi AllLoving the 744 for FSX. Just 1 minor hitch (possibly user error!!) I am trying to change lbs to kgs in the options. I have used the options menu and changed the selection but it doesn't reflect in the sim it still displays in lbs. I have also made the change in the load manager but the same result. Am I missing something obvious??CheersBen

Many thanks guys!! Wish I'd stuck with XP :(

Hope this will be a simple question/solution.I have recently upgraded to vista and FSX. I have full administrator rights on the system however when I try to ad data to the aircraft config file it says "You do not have sufficient rights" and refuses to let me modify the .cfg. Am I missing something really obvious or can anyone make any suggestions?ThanksBen

Bryan,You have done it again!!747-400 is an absolute masterpeice. Nice oneBen HallEGLLBritish Airways Virtual

Ditto here Cliff! Don't have the time or patience to sit at my Pc for hours at a time.If PMDG were able to develop some nice virtual flight attendants that may change however!;-) RegardsBen

Just a quick note to wish all our American cousins a very happy thanksgiving.Have a great one guys.

Phil, Would love one mate!! being a BAV boy myself am looking for a quality BA744 check list.Let me know if you can do it.Cheers

Joe, From my understanding the "HEAVY" suffix is only used in the USIt is used mainly to alert ATC and other aircraft that you are a large beastie and be aware of wake turbulance as well as assisting ATC for separation. 747, 767, 777 DC-10, MD11 and of course the mighty concorde all use the HEAVY suffix.Hope this helps

Guys, Have just completed my first few flights in the RAF c-47.All I can say is you have created a masterpeice with this aircraft.It is one of my all time favorites and this is a wonderful tribute to all who built and flew her!!Hope all is well at the museum. Hope to be able to visit on my next trip over the pond.Great work!

Sirs, Congrats on a magnificent tribute to a magnificent aircraft!! I would like to fly online with vulcan but Vatsim do not appear to have one in their aircraft list (shock..outrage...)Has anyone tried online with this baby??Cheers

Unfourtunatly my V/A requires I send a position report every hour otherwise my hours are not recorded.Going to have alot of sleepless nights!!

Ivor, In my opinion the FS9 flight planner is very poor.Try this link for flight planning http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/This uses current AIRAC cycles and is a much better planning tool.Regards

Hi Ivor, I downloaded the FS9 update almost straight away and have had no problems. Not sure if anyone else has but you can always delete the update if it doesn't work.CheersBen

Quite agree. I have only needed technical help twice (both due to computer problems) PMDG were first class in their help!I have found not only supreme products but also excellent customer service!Keep it up PMDG!!Regards

BA Virtual has a very good ACARS system designed by Ferry Van Aesch.Cheers

Hi Graham, Touch wood have not had any problems, I don't have a registered FSUIPC. Perhaps a coplete re-install of PMDG will fix the problem. Pain in the A*S I know.Cheers

Try Flying on-line. Everyone will call you SPEEDBIRD.Best wishes
