Looks great thank you for sharing ,i think it will only build on a great model with these pre Wip shots .

Looking good already!
Hope they do a 300 variant though, I can't find a decent one anywhere.

Looks like -100 and -200 only - looking forward to some noisy and smokey JT8D's!

The -300,400,500 is a very different beast with (usually) glass avionics and totally different engines

The feelThere/Wilco 737-300 is very decent if you overlook the fugly (but fully functional) VC - great FMC and flies like a dream

That is what is putting me off at the moment, I have freeware products that have a better vc than that.

Connor , about the type and it NZ history places the 300 little bit out off the original idea , Brilliant doco "Pioneering Aviation - the history of the 737 in NZ' will make this change your mind , limited autopilot and fly using maps rather GPS , im sure you will enjoy it , i,m sure you can source the 'History of NZ 737s' from any good store , a must !

It just completely boggles my mind that Capt Sim would release this -100 version with everything, and make you pay for a -200 series model expansion. What a rip. Only 30 of the 100 series were ever built for goodness sake.. They won't be seeing a penny from me and I call myself a 737 fan.
Still, nice looking modelling, and thanks for sharing the link

Captain Sim do seem to have some funny ideas with their sales and marketing! Nonetheless the 737-100/-200 do interest me and good to see them tackling the project.

I think they will change there minds , not so much in the that the model will be so cheap , the expansion will blow your mind , Least Mr Guinea Pig will let you no

I shall look forward to your screenshots and well educated opinion Ian. Thanks

Yes Dean, that's exactly what I was thinking. Such an odd way to go about selling aircraft.

Yes Ian, looking forward to it. I forget how many addons I've bought because you said they were good, I think the last one was the 707.

Does seem an odd choice. I find the freeware Tin mouse 737 with the CIVA INS awesome and meets all my needs. The 2D panels are so good that I dont really miss the VC at all.
I agree that a 300/400 combo would have filled a nice spot that is missing in the high fidelity market.
