    I'd like to discuss those very nice looking JANET paints for your 737 with you...
    But first I need you to stare at the little red light on top of this device.

    There's been a red stripe 'Janet" 737 in one of the Delta Tech Ops Hangars in Atlanta for the last week. I've seen it a few times while taxiing to 26L, and it appears to be getting a C check.

    I had the "People complain about sales in this market and they're doing another 737?" reaction too. But then I saw the shots, and combined with MilViz's usual quality, I'll be picking this up if the price isn't too PMDGish.

    Besides, I've always loved the look of the 737-200. (Much more than flying in them, ugh.) You should do a "for fun" model where you throw a giant bubble canopy on top and paint it in an Me-262 scheme! That's what the -100/200 series always looked like to me. "We have to compete with the DC-9, and we don't have time to design a new airliner from scratch!" "Well, we have these captured German plans sitting around... Multiply every number by 8 and put a cockpit in front!"

    Not too far off as the idea to glue the engines without a gap or strut below the wing was taken from the German 262 designers.

    A case has been made that Boeing took the general proportions including the wing sweep from the 262. I think the real reason that the pods are tucked closely to the wing has to do with the desire to keep the gear short and the engines fairly close inboard for single engine controllability. This has bit them a bit as the airframe has attempted to grow.

    Definitely needs representation, a clever yet simple design.

    Hmmm...interesting design (and I like it).
    The liveries that will come with the release are already chosen.

    However, if I can get a large photo of the bird-pattern, I may consider painting this one after the release

    You could have some serious neck impairment issues if I were to do that, lol. I'm based there, and my house is about a 20 minute drive down I-85 from the airport.

    Jeez, what you do to that poor 737 looks like you flew it thru a phase 1 blow with diamond dust I like the character in that paint.

    By the way in curiousness, do any of the MilViz testers have Prepar3D and try to give it a test in Prepar3D?

    Question Weather Radar?

    Are you going to add a Weather Radar Indicator/System to the Cockpit? Seems like a big hole to me on the forward part of the Pedestal. Those pilots are gonna be mad if they don't have their radar working come this time of year. I have seen a lot of these cockpits(Canadian/Zip/Canadian North/NWT Air/First Air) and all of them were so equipped. If you need any info I still have all my course manuals and could get it to you if wanted. I worked on these wee beasties quite a bit since 2001 when Air Canada bought out Canadian Airlines. In fact I have seen one of these birds down to only half the skin on the ribs and engineless wings. They took off 4 layers of scab patching above and below the window lines and replaced every thing with new modified skins. That work is called the 'Aloha' mod. to prevent another occurrence of the Aloha Airlines incident.
    Everything I have seen on your model looks great except for that great big blanking plate on the forward pedestal.

    That big blank panel will be filled with a 4" display, fully-functional, Navigraph updatable UNS-1F FMS. Since FSX doesn't actually provide the information necessary to have an actual working weather radar, it would be just a waste of time and effort to even try to code a "reasonably fake radar..." :isadizzy:

    LOL! That livery is a pre-build set of textures that I've been using while working on the model and gauge systems. It is very rough and ready, with very coarse and overdone bump and spec maps...

    So no radar but a working FMS. It is too bad it can't be done, but a very nice replacement indeed.
    On the line, every year about this time we would get scads of radar snags as the crews would start worrying about thunderstorms. Out here on the Canadian prairies we get some monsters that you REALLY want to avoid.

    Hey, you want to see REAL thunderstorms, come on down here to Texas and Oklahoma area and I'll show you what the real boomers look like! You haven't seen the real ones until you come down here and experience them! Those are the kind that can often drop baseball and softball size hail stones on the ground. Big enough to smash your windshield if one hits your car, or knock you out cold if you're foolish enough to ignore clouds so dark it puts the fear of God into you and commands you to seek shelter now!
