    Off Topic? On Topic?

    I am in the process of enrolling in an Aircraft Dispatching course at a local college. One of the things I learned today is that, I suppose for continuity of some sort, the aircraft that they base everything on is the Boeing 737 series. Of course, the first question that popped in to MY mind was: which model of 737? Well, I never found that out, but it started me thinking, as a simmer, about what is a good 737 to put in to my FS9 installation. I am not - and never have been - a tube flier. So I really don't know which, of all the available 737s, would be the best to have. Maybe not "the best", but a good one. Product revues, please! Let it all hang out!!!

    The only 73s I'm familiar with in FS(I'm sure others here might be more helpful)are:
    The "classic series" by 50 North(payware,default panel and sound,no VC,but well worth it)
    The 200 series(freeware,at the "usual sites")
    And Project Openskies NG series(freeware,http://www.projectopensky.com/index.php?app=downloads).

    Right on!

    The 200 series 'Tinmouse II' (freeware) are just awesome - superb panel!

    I'd totally agree with Nigel on the Tinmouse.


    Best free 200 series anywhere.

    All the above are good but, if you are prepared to spend your hard-earned, the PMDG 737's are probably the best - only later (-600 and onwards) though.
