All very well in a sim, but numerous aircraft have fallen foul of just that error.

Really!?

Well, I feel better now.

Looks gorgeous! I've loved the 737 ever since they first came out. The first time I saw one in the air I thought that if any airliner could look like a fighter, this was it. Beautiful.

Check the thread that I had set up few days ago, with the reposting of Nick's videos. One of them is 20 minutes just about the outside model. It should give you a sweet death watching it.

Whenever I launch this addon, I am always, every single time, totally stunned and blown away by the beauty and visual excellence in this. Today, I had a nightflight in a ruby-red Sterling.eu aircraft. The colours were awesome.

I could spend the whole day posting pictures of this addon. I have them by the hundreds now, literally. Well - many many dozens.

NO! Too much of a good thing! Besides, you might 'splode the system.

Down with the system! Bwa? Oh...

I think I need this. Even the stock 737 in FSX was by far my favourite. Just need an excuse to blow $70,- on a single aircraft (well, I guess 2, technically).

58$ for two, 73$ for four.

If winglets count, it is four and seven aircraft.

Plus various carrier options resulting in different configurations of the cockpits. These options hold 20 pages in a (fictional) section of the CDU. They all can be reset while being inflight. Don't need that HGS? Throw it out while being in flight. Prefer the Collins to the Honeywell MCP? change it while inflight. Want a different setup for various altitude anouncements? Change while inflight. No Windows menu at the top of the screen. Its all in the CDU.

The most money you already wasted when staying with the FSX default 737 for so long.

Heck, a space probe fell foul of a similar error once!
