737 and A320 for P3D v4.3?

Want to get the two workhorse airliners into P3D v4.3. I have the stock FSX 737-800 in now, but I imagine after all this time there might be a better option. (Would love to find a 737-Max!)

Anyway, curious as to what people like for P3D V4.x for these planes. Freeware would rock, but I'm open to payware if it's really worth it.

Thanks!
 
Check out TDS for their freeware FSX boeing models that will work in 64 bit v4. You will need to add a VC or just download one already packaged up at simviation (often by Chris Evans).
 
Yes, for freeware, TDS is tops. Don’t forget the triton.

TDS did not do any Airbus aircraft but only Boeing. They have done or in process of every modern ones, the 727, 737, 767, 777, and 787.
 
I just tried my Project Airbus A319 using the FSX vc and it seems to work just fine. Many packages are available on Simviation.
 
DennyA, the above posted from Simviation with Alejandro's updated VC. I have the Southwest package by C. Evans and no issues so far, I would just make sure you install the gauges correctly. I'm still learning P3D, but the alternate install outside of the main P3D folder has been working for my add-ons.
 
I would love to install the TDS Boeing 737 base model, and also the C-40 repaint for it. Can someone please explain how to install it all into P3DV.4.3? I do not understand how the VC install works. Right now, when I attempted installing the TDS 737, it not only did not show up on the screen, it crashed P3D. Thanks. NC

And is there a working cargo door for the TDS C-40 model? Thanks.

NC, sounds to me like you have there the FS9 model. That will cause a crash in 64 bit. You need the native FSX model if there is one somewhere. Coincidentally, I am right now flying a TDS BBJ in v4 and just a minute ago tried adding the C-40A skin without success as it is looks to be configured for the TDS FS9 model.

Give the flightsim download below a go and also check here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/89658-C-40-by-TDS

Didn't need to retype the textures. The TDS FSX native model you are after is this one: 7B--W2
 
Alternatively, download this at Simviation with a pre-loaded VC and then splash your Navy Clipper paint on it . .

Denny-

If payware is an option, albeit a bit biased, I believe the PMDG NGX is an incredible product. It’s hard to believe it’s the most ancient of their recent offerings, and is very worthy of consideration.

After all these years, I still relish sessions in her VC- superb FDE, amazing modeling, and even better in 4K.

FWIW- C

Do you have a link for just the paint, now that I have the working USAF model installed? Thanks. NC
