    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

TDS 737-700 base pack released

The PFD is one I yanked out of an Embraer EMB-170, freeware, on avsim or flightsim - been around a few years actually, but sorry can't tell you the name of the file. The rest of it is the A Rojas VC plus some other bits (see at post #18 this thread).
 
Lots of lovely repaints for the TDS 737 are being released these days, this Global Jet Luxembourg BBJ is made by Joshua Raphael (tds737-700_m-urus.zip @ avsim)

I have problem in the VC of TDS 737 MAX 7 with FSX Steam edition

What MDL are you using? I'm using the one from FSX_737MAX7_DEFAULT_737-800Merge_SET_IG32.zip (TDS facebook page) and there's no such bug.

Did you use Raditor to decrease the viewing radius of the exterior MDL file? A too small value is known to cause problems in the VC... I've changed the radius of "TDSX737MAX_LEAPX1B--P2WM.mdl" from 37.72 to 25 and it's ok.

I has added this FSX_737MAX7_DEFAULT_737-800Merge_SET_IG32.zip and solved the problem, thanks
where I can have this paint?
 
does this work in p3d v2.5? Would love to have it.
It totally works in P3D!

Don't know why I found this very inspiring thread so late (thanks guys!), but after doing so, I have spent a bit of time replacing my POSKY 737 fleet with the beautiful TDS models and repaints. Awesome range of variants: 600, 700, 700C, 700ER, 800, 800SFP, 8FV, 900, 900ER, MAX 7, MAX 8, MAX 9 - with all kinds of subtypes.

Now if somebody would only make a set of HD textures for Alejandro Rojas Lucena's VC ... :)
 
My own retro repaint of the 600, in disguise as a Maersk Air 5L9:

I had a number of job related visits to Holland about 10 years ago, usually this was the aircraft that brought me there and back. :)
 
I uploaded the above paint to AVSIM if anyone should want to fly their TDS 737 in retro Maersk Air livery, search for "tds_737_600_oy_app.zip" in the library.
 
Couldn't find a complete list of FSX exits for the various models, so I made one.

Two left side passenger doors, and two right side cargo doors, for each model. I haven't included the big cargo door on the 700C, as I wasn't sure how to do that meaningfully, and haven't included emergency exits either (as they're not modelled).

It's a mix-and match of various sources I could find, plus a bit of calculation and a healthy amount of trial and error:

Code:
600:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4,-14.50, -5.64,  1.52, 0
exit.1 = 0.2,-24.95,  3.28, -2.72, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-77.00, -5.09,  1.70, 0
exit.3 = 0.2,-65.00,  3.28, -2.22, 1

700/700C:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, 43.24, -5.64,  1.12, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, 30.22,  3.28, -3.22, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-26.71, -4.76,  1.41, 0
exit.3 = 0.2,-14.60,  3.61, -2.49, 1

800/800SFP:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, 51.61, -5.64,  1.12, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, 38.58,  3.28, -3.22, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-34.25, -5.09,  1.30, 0
exit.3 = 0.2,-22.83,  3.28, -2.62, 1

900/900ER:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, -15.01, -5.64,  1.22, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, -28.14,  3.28, -3.02, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-109.85, -5.09,  1.32, 0
exit.3 = 0.2, -98.45,  3.28, -2.22, 1

MAX7:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, 43.24, -5.64,  1.12, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, 30.22,  3.28, -3.22, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-26.71, -4.76,  1.41, 0
exit.3 = 0.2,-14.60,  3.61, -2.49, 1

MAX8:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, -14.98, -5.64,  1.12, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, -28.01,  3.28, -3.22, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-100.84, -5.09,  1.30, 0
exit.3 = 0.2, -89.42,  3.28, -2.62, 1

MAX9:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, 56.61, -5.64,  1.22, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, 43.48,  3.28, -3.02, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-38.23, -5.09,  1.32, 0
exit.3 = 0.2,-26.83,  3.28, -2.22, 1

8FV POSEIDON:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, 51.61, -5.64,  1.12, 0
exit.1 = 0.2, 38.58,  3.28, -3.22, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,-34.25, -5.09,  1.30, 0
exit.3 = 0.2,-22.83,  3.28, -2.62, 1

Oh, and I made a small patch for the Maersk repaint to correct a really stupid error I made - it's available on AVSIM.
 
I am unsuccessful in finding the command to open baggage doors and service doors on starboard side of aircraft. Any help here? Thanks, NC

Post your [exits] from the aircraft.cfg. I don't remember if this has a popup panel for door exits, or not!

Shift+e+3 or Shift+e+4?

Only showing 4 exits, but service door (opposite of main door) does not open. There is no popup panel to operate..... NC


Maybe TDS FB page would help, I dunno.


[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit_rate.0 = 0.10 ;Percent per second
exit_rate.1 = 0.12 ;Percent per second
exit_rate.2 = 0.12 ;Percent per second
exit_rate.3 = 0.12 ;Percent per second
 
I downloaded and installed the TDS 737 Max8 and used the [exits] from penz's post. This what I see: Click on the pic to make bigger!
