From one 737 to another 737: Feelin' right at home!

[Nartbox]

Hi guys!

Over the past 4 years, I've racked up thousands of hours in another company's Boeing 737 Next Generation simulation. I'm familiar with the 737NG inside and out, the quirks, the bugs, the flight dynamics, the (engine) performance...it's all just familiar to me. 

I bought this wonderful product and I have to say, coming from an NG, I felt right at home. Started her up as I would normally with absolutely no issue. She flies gracefully with that familiar stability of the NG but with a little bit of its own personality. Loving the classic instrument panel -- I personally have always enjoyed a little bit of steam mixed in with my technology, and the 737 Classic, 757, and 767 aircraft fit this perfectly. I'm happy to have this in my 737 aircraft, and it's even better that everything else under the hood works just the same as the venerable Next Generation. =]

Now, if I had to make any suggestions to make this product a little bit better, I would kindly suggest the developer add a shortcut to the altimeter to sync the QNH setting between captain and first officer. The only bug I have to report is a major stutter when changing the Cost Index inflight. (Actually, anything that involves changing performance parameters or anything that requires the EXEC button to be pressed afterward causes a major stutter...)

Otherwise, I'm in love. Currently taking N654SW as flight 1152 from Las Vegas to Chicago-Midway.

Thank you IXEG! Keep up the amazing work! Hoping for a SWA-style CRT delete someday

I'm also rooting for the complete non EFIS panel some day.

Only time will tell.

Early EFIS aircraft are the best!

737 Classic

757/767

MD-80

A300

And then there's all the russians... hahaha

try to fly without virus scanner, or at least exclude the XP directory from active scanning, if you havent already done so
