• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Any one had a look at this besides me? Its a 737 700 originally from POSKY that has been modified. It has had its ground handling and FDE improved by the way it flys. Lights have had a work over and now work as you would expect. It comes with several variations of Southwest Liveries - also upgraded sounds and revised ALBANY airport. All free and worth a look.

A couple of glitches for me with my wide monitor in that cycling views within the cockpit to get wing views - shows up the 2D panel as well as the right wing. Also the defined views are not made for Wide Screen. I am sure that can be addressed - but really not a big deal.

I am very pleased at what these guys have done with ground handling - gives a real sense of weight and balance performance - that you would expect when taxiing and taking off. I can recommend taking it for a whirl - particularly as it is free.

Word of caution; the download site is a separate party and has the annoying habit of popups. Just be aware of this and you should have no problems.

Hi Spike,

in one of the German FS communities one member recently complaint about these guys. Apparently they took one of his repaints from flightsim.com, changes the registration and put it on their website, claiming the copyright...

edit: I just saw that the original author, Sebastian Szücs wrote about this case in the flightsim forums.
 
Their KALB scenery is Mach1DG's FS9 one with an AFX file for FSX. M1DG is credited appropriately in the Readme though.
