Milviz Boeing 737-200c Released

[Skyhawk_310R]

I hope you folks like this one. I did the flight dynamics and actually flew the 200 combi for a number of years as Captain. I think it does a pretty good job of replicating the 200 experience. A great plane for "gunk holing". Going in and out of all sorts of out of the way primitive places. Used to fly into Dutch Harbor (PADU) of Deadliest Catch fame!

Regards: Tom

I can think of no finer endorsement that to realize that a man who flew the actual aircraft is the one who created the FSX flight modeling files. I am certain that any limitations, if any, are simply a direct byproduct of limits within FSX for which there are simply no work arounds available.

I think this is an outstanding jet!

Where it was possible to do so, yes.

Thanks - When I'm back home from my Florida vacation It will be the first aircraft I purchase. The 737-(Early models) are my favorite aircraft to fly....

The 737-200 was probably the most fun jet I ever flew, one you could fly and not manage.

Off to work on UFOs... Nice work to all involved. Always liked the early 737s.

Yep and a few times in Yellowknife's blasted cold WX I could remember banging and pounding my fist on the dash top to knock the gauges loose from stuck lol or fighting a stiffy on approach because the tail and elevators go nuts with the shifting fast winds in the midnight sun. I would not want to imagine doing the Dutch runs in the mid winter, that had to be crazy.

[fliger747]

The winds in the winter at such havens as Dutch, Kodiak, Juneau etc could be formidable, this in the pre GPS era. Long range nav was a somewhat unfriendly LORAN. Then the Cold of Fairbanks and Barrow were other challenges. An honest if not perfect plane.

Tom, there is a PADQ Kodiak in FSX/Prepar3D development atm in idle mode. They have the USCG Station nearly accurate and working on the LC and photo-scenery. By chance do you have any pics of the main ramp and Terminal? I went thru my pics and dang nab it all I have pics of is the CGAS side lol.

[fliger747]

Been flying international for some time now (18 years) so I don't get down to Kodiak much. Will ask around though.

Atm, I'd like to ban all American Ops at KSAT. There darn chrome with the sun brightness and the extreme temps we have are dangerous if your not wearing eye protection and if the sun hit there fuse just right and beams the light to the grass fire like the old mag glass trick. Twice yesterday I got blinded as did two SWA flights err and ground crews had to put out two minor fires in the grass quick. will be happy when American finally switches all chrome to the new paint.

Really? The bare polished aluminum can actually cause a grass fire?

For general information's sake, the anticipated "Hot Fix" has been released and is available from the Milviz.com website.

In addition, there is also a more advanced "night lighting" package available for those who have Vista OS or better, as well as a DX11 capable video card with at least 1GB of onboard memory. The installer package for this also has an "Uninstall/Reverter" option in case one wishes to go back to the released "night lighting" easily.

Where can we find a screen with the advanced night lighting? I don´t have the 737 yet.

I don't know aside from the official Support Forum. There is this one that's at "full bright" but a lot of the subtlety is lost:

The actually lightmaps are the same for the released and the "advanced" versions, it just that the advanced takes advantage of the graphics card's onboard processing and use of shader blending modes. It's faster and better blended.

[Anneke]

From where at the milviz website can the hotfix be downloaded?

[flaviossa]

Thanks Mr. Bill. Perhaps some owner will publish a VC shot for us with the effects. Frankly, i don´t know why a nice feature is hidden from possible buyers, after all it´s just a Screenshot. I will get it as soon as my CC says i´m good to go

Hi Rick,
Like Anneke, I'm also unable to find the hotfix at the Milviz 737 forum. Do you know if it's under a specific post, or if it has yet to be posted?

It's a distinct possibility that I'm completely overlooking it.....I'm dense at times!

Thanks.

[jetstreamsky]

It may be like me you haven't been allowed access to the sub form for 737 support yet.

Email a request for access to Roadburner440 at milviz dot com

:redf:

I knew I missed something. I was looking in the 737 general forum, not the support forum. Email sent to Roadrunner.

Thanks Jetstream.

[miragecy]

Hmm, they need to change their forum policy. I can see all support forums but cannot see the 737 support forum. How would I know if there is an update, or an actual Boeing 737 support forum??

Access to the 737 Support Forum is for customers only. Once a customer has contacted RoadBurner with their proof of purchase, they are given access to the Support Forum, much like Lotus.

As soon as the pre pay option was offered, I bought the aircraft and I already have access to the other support forums from the days I purchased the F-86 and T-38
