Native FSX B737 200 ?

[guzler]

Anuyone working on one of these ? Do enjoy the old stuff.

There's a FSX version of the Kittyhawk 727-200. No VC, and not FSX native, though.

We need a good 737-200 for FSX.

 

[guzler]

I use the vista liners one currently and it is pretty good, although would like to see a version as you say with VC and bump mapping as wel as some extra detail in there.

Cheers

Your not alone.

Over at the CaptainSim site, in the "What aircraft would you like to see CS make?" poll, the "737-100/200" is still the most wanted model specific request, by a slim margin over the C-17.

 

[guzler]

Hmm, maybe Alphasim will sort the C-17 demand out.

I had the old FS9 TinMouse 737-200 running in FSX for a while. Model looked okay , but lack of a working panel and no vc meant that I had to mothball it

 

[guzler]

Great pictures there, a pretty decent model & paint job.

Sorry to revive an old thread....just wondering if anyone knows of any new plans in the pipeline for a native fsx B737-200?

I'd do one if I had the time...

Cheers, Bjoern. :ernae:
Did Erick Cantu make his 737 gmax source files available as freeware? If so maybe they could be run through the FSX SDK in order to get a native exterior and the default 738 cockpit could be mated to it until someone could scratch build an authentic -200 VC?

Ha! No way I'm gonna put a NG's VC into a -200!


Well, hunt down the source files and I'll see if I can get them into 3DS Max.
(However, this doesn't mean that I'm going to come up with a FSX native model in two weeks...more like in two years or so.)

Desperation led me (and many others) to use the 738's vc with CS's first B727 for fsx ::d

 

[guzler]

Can't believe no one is doing one

The Ab 300-200 is on the same idea and the 737-100/200. Wonder if this will ever get done:

Would be nice!

This is interesting not the best graphics and $35.00 is a little up there.

Not native though, David...the specs quote it as being developed for FS2004 and compatible with FSX. Anyone know for definite if Erick Cantu's source files for the Tinmouse are available?

I doubt it.


Well, an easy way would be to just try to repaint some textures of the 738's VC and swapping the LCDs with classical instuments. This would eliminate the whole modeling process, but it would also inherit all the default bugs.
