Hi guys, I've been to Riga Airport and saw a few classic 737s, some even with eyebrows! Not the best weather for shooting, but I thought you still might enjoy.

After the MCDUs I wish to post those TCAS shots. This one is about Vatsim traffic at KSFO: This one is about Ivao traffic at LEBL: And this one is about AI traffic at LICR: Those are situations while still at ground (function enabled just to take the screenshots, sorry but I've not too much time to scramble like a fighter in order to find and intercept some airborne traffic ).

You're all wrong. They've been building a real 737-300 and convincing us it's inside the sim with clever video editing and use of Photoshop.

See guys, this shows you how hard Tom is working on this and not browsing the forums all the time . We did indeed say that we want to release the tutorial videos prior to release, and I think that is still the plan. I am not going to stick to the time-frame of "4 weeks", though, we might show them in a faster succession. But we are not going to start the video run until we are satisfied that we have a gold candidate, and as Tom said we are not quite there, yet. Cheers, Jan

Reminds me of this:

It would actually be nice to eventually release the -400 and -500 variant. I think it is safe to say that would take considerably less effort than completely new aircraft. I also don't know if a cargo variant ever was a factory option, but I have seen some quick change models, combi and full on cargo -300s... Maybe a cargo variant for those freight dogs out there.

It´s starting to wear on me that we only have 5 or 6 737s left at Lufthansa. Last flight is planned for something like October, and I really hope they will throw a farewell party, but for some reason I doubt it. I start taping and taking pictures of all the 737´s I see, my Copilots think I am crazy . Just yesterday I saw our newest model, D-ABEF! (Only a little over 20, still a youngster!). And what do we get to replace them? NEO´s... what a nightmare. Jan

Dear pilots! We made some changes on Hilton building in O'Hare airport. Enjoy!

Flying out over Lanai enroute to the eventually-to-be-released Molokai.

Fills the world with planes around you. X-Plane built in traffic is rather poor.

Hi Colin. I just now watched the video on the site and it is very informative about what this does. It is light-years ahead of the X-Plane default traffic and ATC system. I think this is going to be very popular.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it!

you are doing a superb job with this simulation! excellent!

Doing some test maths with the (wip) PROGRESS page on left MCDU: while checking at (wip) LEGS page on right MCDU:

I'm not sure where this was mentioned...I'm pretty cognizant of what we've said and when we've stuck our foot in our mouth (which we have) and we did say we want to do tutorial videos....but I'm not sure we ever said we would do these prior to the release...or even the manner of the release....not to my knowledge anyhow. It is NOT correct to assume that the release of any videos is any gauge as to the timing of the release of of the 737. We are doing veracious QC testing atm and will release in due course as our requirements are satisfied. -tkyler

And they actually developed it to troll us more. They're just not going to share it with us.

You create an account to ask that? No. No release. It was just a joke. They trolled us 5 years.

According to the posts from the team members - yes. Apparently it's in the final testing before the 1.0 release, so we still have to wait a bit.

I just assumed he meant Costumers.... as in: BWAHAHAHA
