I MOVED YOUR POSTING "HERRE" YATES .... WHERE I CONSIDER IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATELY PLACED
"AEROFOTO"/HJG
I'm not sure if this is the right thread to wright this in or not but, I was wondering if by any chance you all would take an aircraft request. Anyway, what I was thinking, there is no 737-100 freeware or really even payware accept for the captainsim one. I know you make great aircraft and panels and all, and I think the 737-100 would make a great addition to the HJG family. If by any chance you would be willing to do this, that would be great. Please consider, as it would be truly amazing to fly such a historic aircraft.
Best Regards,
Yates McKendree

I agree with lockheedtristar, it would be a nice addition to the HJG fleet, plus the liveries the 100 (and 200 as well) did wear were very nice (PeoplExpress, Air Florida, Continental,...). I really hope to see it as well and Mark rose my curiosity about it... |

I would also love to see a B737-100 with liveries. Thank you.

Personally the whole 737 classic family would be amazing, but that I'm guessing probably won't happen.

The B737NGs are well catered for by posky and there are some good models at the poskyarchive (the website seems to be working again). There are a number of good B737-200s by Eric Cantu (Vista Liners Note on edit: the site is no longer in existence but a few models are scattered about on Simviation), Tinmouse and Kittyhawk but I agree that B737-100 would be good. Vista Liners also have a 400 series, there are a few 300s but I am not sure if there is one house although I suspect they may also go back to Vista Liners. The 500 series has also been released by Vista Liners. Currently in my fleet are:
200 - LAPA, SAA, Cruzeiro In the hangar: BA, AA, Southwest, America West.
300 - Jet2 (G-CELO & G-CELS), Monarch (a leased colour scheme)
400 - Aegean, (plus the defaults), Qantas
500 - BMI Baby, Estonian, Luxair. Hangar: SkyEurope (Adriana)
600 - Fly Globespan, Westjet.
700 - RAM, Westjet, Air Seychelles
800 - Ryanair, Norwegian Shuttle, AA retro, KLM.
900 - KLM, Continental, Korean.

All of the B737 family (the major versions at least .... and up until the -900 too "I THINK") .... with the exception of the -100 have also been quite well catered for by VISTALIBERS/Erick CANTU.

I have this Tin Mouse and I must say, that´s a darn good model to fly with. I thought it became freeware by now.

TM2 always has been "FREEWARE" .... so far as I'm aware Mark C AKL/NZ |

I once read, that Flight1 had something to do with its development (but never became part of their payware fleet) so I thought that maybe an other commercial designer put it on the market.

Oh, and just for everybody's info, I have FSX. Just for those of you may be thinking I am running FS9.

TM2 always has been "FREEWARE" .... so far as I'm aware Mark C AKL/NZ I thought it probably had but I was being cautious, as I was not sure if it had appeared anywhere as payware first. |

This is an old thread, but I have some input that may be useful:
Firstly, I made two different 737-200 models. The Original FlightFX model depicts a basic, pre-1972 -200. The later model, while utilising the same basic textures, depicts the Advanced -200. Differences include the Krueger flaps and engine pylons. The original -200 textures were kept to save time, and the layout is not terribly great.
Anyone wishing to turn this into a -100 would need to backdate the airplane to have the appropriate spotting features, so doing a basic -200 would be a good starting point.
I uploaded most of my GMax files to flightsim.com some time ago, and would be most pleased if someone wanted to make these modifications. I would also recommend:
-Adding better detailing to the thrust reverser assemblies
-Creating a new texture mapping layout
-Ridding the awful generic 737 cockpit textures. The idea was to have a common file, placed in the base texture directory, that would be used for all 737 series models, but it caused more problems than it solved
-Developing a cockpit - I had a partial one in the works, but I question its accuracy
-cockpit window frames are too thick
-Flap canoes - do I really need to say much more about them than they're awful?
-Double check the number of IGVs. I think that the correct number is 21.
-Redo the fans. No, really, just use the ones from the 727.
-Double check the radome length
-There is a flat spot behind the cockpit windows on the old Boeing nose. This flat spot sort of carries on into the rest of the nose in the form of a noticeable ridge below the cockpit windows. Hiroshi modelled this very well on his 737/727. I did not on mine. You may want to correct this.
-Details such as light housings, wipers, et c. - this model was done in like a week, to fill a specific VA's need, if I recall.
-Just do new textures, you'll thank me for this idea later.
-Correct the landing gear compression
-The faces of my inlets, viewed from the top, are perpendicular to the centreline. The real ones cant inwards a few degrees.
-Just fix those awful thrust reversers. The actuation mechanism is accurate (that was a rarity in the time period, mind you), but the shapes are so simplistic...
Flight model things:
-Edit the engine tables to provide the correct CN1 v. CN2, CN2 v. thrust factor, and acceleration curve (1505)
-Really, an accurate flight model
Honestly, I'd just ask Hiroshi for his 737NG nose and fuselage, and use that as a starting point instead. He'd probably let you have the engines off the 727 as well...

Erick CANTU .... I presume ? "IF SO" .... then .... thanks for checking in "YES" .... we do have a B737 "concept" (only) .... just has we've many other "concepts" (only) for different FS projects (which most HJG staff don't even know .... some of which will be finished and released where-as others may never be loaded onto HD's beyond those playing with these ideas). We'll mostly never confirm, nor deny, our future intentions .... or publicize developmental projects either now .... since we made the mistake of doing last year (pre-release) and which won't be repeated again  Instead .... we'll just develop what we can and release what we finish .... once we're happy/satisfied with it .... as a public "surprise" when/if it happens at all .... and regardless of anything anyone else does either since HJG has always done "its own thing in its own time" The majority of what's outlined within your (above) posting we're already very much aware of (in respect of the variation/s between early and later/ADV models of these particular aircraft as well as what needs being done to better represent each) .... since I spent many years around "all 3 types" (that's the -200, -200 ADV, and -100) at AKL during the late 1970's, through 80's and 90's, and into early part of this milllennium But .... your contribution is "APPRECIATED" .... of course .... and you're more than welcome to PM me if you particularly wish to discuss anything further .... no problem at all Mark C AKL/NZ |
