MilViz 737-200

Jeez, what you do to that poor 737:icon_lol: looks like you flew it thru a phase 1 blow with diamond dust:icon_lol: I like the character in that paint.
 
By the way in curiousness, do any of the MilViz testers have Prepar3D and try to give it a test in Prepar3D?
 
Weather Radar?

Are you going to add a Weather Radar Indicator/System to the Cockpit? Seems like a big hole to me on the forward part of the Pedestal. Those pilots are gonna be mad if they don't have their radar working come this time of year. I have seen a lot of these cockpits(Canadian/Zip/Canadian North/NWT Air/First Air) and all of them were so equipped. If you need any info I still have all my course manuals and could get it to you if wanted. I worked on these wee beasties quite a bit since 2001 when Air Canada bought out Canadian Airlines. In fact I have seen one of these birds down to only half the skin on the ribs and engineless wings. They took off 4 layers of scab patching above and below the window lines and replaced every thing with new modified skins. That work is called the 'Aloha' mod. to prevent another occurrence of the Aloha Airlines incident.
Everything I have seen on your model looks great except for that great big blanking plate on the forward pedestal.:cool:

That big blank panel will be filled with a 4" display, fully-functional, Navigraph updatable UNS-1F FMS. Since FSX doesn't actually provide the information necessary to have an actual working weather radar, it would be just a waste of time and effort to even try to code a "reasonably fake radar..." :isadizzy:

LOL! That livery is a pre-build set of textures that I've been using while working on the model and gauge systems. It is very rough and ready, with very coarse and overdone bump and spec maps... :icon_lol:

So no radar but a working FMS. It is too bad it can't be done, but a very nice replacement indeed. :wiggle:
On the line, every year about this time we would get scads of radar snags as the crews would start worrying about thunderstorms. Out here on the Canadian prairies we get some monsters that you REALLY want to avoid.:running:

Hey, you want to see REAL thunderstorms, come on down here to Texas and Oklahoma area and I'll show you what the real boomers look like! You haven't seen the real ones until you come down here and experience them! Those are the kind that can often drop baseball and softball size hail stones on the ground. Big enough to smash your windshield if one hits your car, or knock you out cold if you're foolish enough to ignore clouds so dark it puts the fear of God into you and commands you to seek shelter now!

Really, anywhere is fair game for an arse kicker of a T-storm, but Texas and Ok seem to have more than their fair share of arsekickers, no doubt.
 
Yep, some real tight storm lines in that art of the world, but the biggest ones I have seen have been near the equator where the tropopause is usually higher. India and south Asia come to mind, especially the ones associated with tropical cyclones.

None of them are good except for entertainment value. Used to sit on the porch with my cousins in Southern Illinois in the pre TV era and watch them in the evening.

Outstanding!! I was hoping to see this livery before or after release. Glad it's already been done. Sure looking forward to this model.
