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...

Thanks for the heads up.
Perhaps someone from TurboFan would like to comment?

Their KALB scenery is Mach1DG's FS9 one with an AFX file for FSX. M1DG is credited appropriately in the Readme though.
