I didn't quiet catch your request? if you want the plain picture without windows etc I've uploaded it to my website which will be reopened tommorow, it's a psd file

I meant the -700 with either a bare-metal or white scheme, and the SI decal, so you don't see the Southwest livery behind it, just the decal. Thanks!

Could you do an SI without the Southwest stuff in the background, because I really hate Southwest's look...

FS9 is not dead....many peoples can't run FSX.....it has too big hardware requirements....minimal are really low but if i put in some sceneries.....or PMDG NGX....I've never had on FS9 higher FPS than 25....And still exists more sceneries for FS9....I have: Win XP SP3; Intel Pentium D 2,8,GHz (dual core); 2Gb of RAM DDR3 and ATi X1300 256mb (450Mhz).....tell me, If I can run FSX on 20 FPS (stable minimum) at least....

The fact is that FSX has superceded FS2004 for some time, and all FS2004 is doing is dwindling away. There will still be loyal people, but both developers and customers alike are switching to FSX only. You may still like FS2004, but the fact is that FSX is a mroe dynamic simulator, and developers can do more, immersive things with it for both scenery and airplanes.

Is 737CL the Classic?

Atlanta - Johannesburg.Amsterdam - Johannesburg.Other than that, I would check with individual airlines or even the alliances (SkyTeam, Star Alliance, Oneworld) and see if they fly in/out of Africa.

There are only two planes that can do Atlanta - Johannseburg, the A340-500 and 777-200LR. The Boeing 747-400, Boeing 747-400ER, or 747-8 are incapable of flying this route, its teh fourth-longes in the world (scheduled)

so why is the Dreamliner starting with -8? what if they produce newer Models of the plane in 20 years? do they put MAX behind like with the NG follower? Seems strange to me and no pattern for this in my sight.Any thoughts of that?

The models will be the 737 MAX 7, 737 MAX 8, and 737 MAX 9, the 737-600 won't be succeded by a MAX model.

Is the 3 definetley cancelled? Virgin wanted some I think

The 787-3 would have been a 787-8, with shorter wings an with winglets for domestic-haul operations, with slightly higher capacity than the 767-300. ANA and JAL had orders, but eventually converted to the 787-8 or 787-9 variants. Most airlines are too cheap and want to use smaller and smaller narrowbodies for domestic ops, rather than widebodies like in the 1970's. ANA and JAL would have used them on high-density inter-Japan and asia flights.ANA will have two versions of the 787-8, one for domestic and one for international, but the aircraft itself is the same, just the seating density is changed.

nevermind

The BBj does have aux tanks and other tanks too, for intercontinental range.

That sounds like an incredibly boring time. I mean, what is that, 14-15 hours at cruise?

16 hours 30 mins, th longest scheduled flight in the world. I'll use my LR onthe Atlanta - Johannesburg route, 17 hours 5min, fourth longest route in the world, longest for the LR

That is genius! Too bad I kinda own everything PMDG :(

Actually, those ones on avsim and flightsim.com aren't correct, their colors are way off. I had one done for me, and you can het it here:http://www.dantrix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=820

Peter,Very nice aircraft. Thanks for sharing this. I got a great looking wallpaper for my desktop while I visited the Beechcraft site.Hmmm...I'm wondering the price point of the 4000? Over 30Mil I'm sure.Best, Jeff Moss

Its about $22.5 Million for the current version, with all new new avionics I stated.Source: nice conversation at EAA AirVenture 2011 with the Hawker-Beechcraft Salesman

I've got a great idea for a PMDG business jet, if they ever chose to make one: The Hawker 4000, produced by Hawker-Beechcraft. It is a super-midsized jet, and has lots of cool things. First, its fuselage is comprised primarily of carbon fiber composites; it has full autothrottle FADEC controls, and each notch of flaps tell the plane to slow itself down to a set speed; it has a full EICAS system, and uses the Honeywell Primus Epic suite. I read about it just recently in Flying Magazine, and aside from Robert Goyer's terrible use of words to embellish for a sponsor, it looks liek a very cool business jet. Large windshield, holds eight people. I think ti would be great to have around the FSX hangar.Hawker Beechcraft Website: http://www.hawkerbee...om/hawker/4000/

I was wrong in post 5, the max landing weight of the 777/200LR is just over 220,000Kgs. The Captain explains in the video that the raked wing tip extensions on the LR are what make the wings so efficient.I have no idea on the 787 performance but as it's a much newer design I would guess it must be even more efficient than the LR

Well, the 777 (any type) and the 787 don't compeye with the 787. The 787 replaces the 767 and is a smaller plane. The 777 is the third largest commercial airliner in the world. of course the 787 will be more effecient, they do things differently for different purposes.

From memory it was about 275,000 Kgs. As the 787 is a newer design it should if anything be even better.

Like I said above, the Vref on the 777-300ER (largest variant) is 554,000lbs. The Boeing 787 is a smaller airplane, so its approach speed shouldn't be related to the 777's that much. The 787-8's (current and only variant built) Vref is 380,000lbs

Wow thats pretty low for such a big bird, what is the max landing weight for it? Wonder how the 787 stands out in this?

The Max Landing Weight of the 777-300ER (largest variant) is 554,000lbs

It will not be a 64 bit program.

it could be both.

Let's see:737NGX:Los Angeles International (LAX) to Los Vegas' McCarran International (LAS)Salt Lake City (SLC) to Jackson Hole, WY (KJAC)Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Houston (IAH) 747-400:Tokyo-Narita (NRT) to Sapporo, JapanTokyo-Narita(NRT) to Hong Kong (HKG) [you could also pretend you're pre-1999 and fly into Kai Tak for a big challenge.MD-11:Taipei (TPE) to Hong Kong (HKG)All above are real-world.

I just bought the 747X and tried the NGX and i would love to see the queen of the skies with that quality, and i don't complain abut its quality as is the best addon i ever flew for fsx...

You obviously haven't seen the 737NGX yet!

That looks absolutely super !!A real step up from the screenshots we saw in the early summer!That looks [in terms of scenery[ a complete overhaul from FSX :)Awesome..

They always make Hawaii look better than the rest, so it looks good for preiews.

We've said nothing about "early next year" - that is ridiculous, we just finished the NGX.

If anything, you said early this year in that video . However unless you figure out a way to reverse time and carry the 737NGX programming back with you a year and a half, it may be possible...

State your list of Top 5 airliners which you think are the most beautiful in the skies.Mine are:1. Boeing 7472. Lockheed Constellation3. Boeing 7574. Tupolev Tu-1445. Sud Aviation Caravelle

Well, I wouldn't say that's the prettiest one up there, although it's in my top 10, but I agree with the rest. We've got countless 757s there to play with and no decent Airbuses. Now, the chances for a A340 get even lower because certain devs can affirm that it's not worth to make the A340 anymore because it's out of the production line.

great topic poll idea!
