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.

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!"
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.

Here is the rarest Canadian Arctic 737, Air Inuit new look.

Time and time again this poor airline gets passed up by painters.

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.

.... any hints when this beauty is cleared for departure ??
I'm not going to use the S word, but she's moving along very well!
By the way in curiousness, do any of the MilViz testers have Prepar3D and try to give it a test in Prepar3D?

It will absolutely run in P3D
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:

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!
