So you want a near PMDG level 737-800? For free?

I've searched and there is no mention of this. What I'm talking about is the Zibo mod for the default 737-800 in X Plane 11.

It ups the simulation level to other heights.

Here's the link to the forum thread: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/111305-boeing-b738-800-modified/

There are many youtube tutorials on how to install it, but basically it is simple enough, copy the default 737 folder and then dump the mod files into it, along with some optional stuff like audio and textures.

It's being updated on an almost daily basis and is getting almost there with PMDG. From what I've heard this is the new x plane fever.

Since it's on sale I might buy the sim, or worst case, wait for the christmas/new year sale, just for this.
 
Similarly, another 738 freeware still in beta but very promising - X737-800_xp11.zip.

That's the EADT one, isn't it?

For X Plane 10, absolutely, the best 737 NG available, but you do have to part ways with some 20 euros for the FMC.

For X Plane 11 though, no point going for this one instead of the Zibo.
