looks like Kittyhawk/SGA whatever they called themselves.... effect of an engine fire is a simple cfg. change....

I can't make d/l's work from that place - not that I'd want to... The popup blocker keeps blocking everything, even when I tell it not to and refresh the page. If it's an Opensky bird, you can probably find the paintkit here:

If I remember the model is for FS2002 by Eric Cantu - Kittyhawk Studios, and very good it was at the time.
It holds its own in FS9
It appeared variously as FFX, too.
Never saw many repaints: I have Air Seychelles, Virgin Blue...

The Air Scheffel version is named after the author.
I was completely blown away by the interactive pilot checklist.
You can do your own thing and it will call out the full gamut of checks.
Or, if like me you have no idea where the APU switch is, set it to Auto and it will click them for you!

The panel transplants to the OS 737 quite well, save for elevator autotrim which tends to launch you vertically off the runway!

Edit: found a pic of the BBJ version (seen here having a moment at Boeing Field of all places), and it's not bad at all.

Search flightsim.com for "kittyhawk 737".
I found dozens and dozens of repaints.
You'd have to transplant the Scheffel panel and effects though, as they are specific to that model.

So basically any repaints made for kittyhawk studios 737-800 will work.Thanks

...and if you own the Skydecks panel, you can get a preconfigured Kittyhawk 737NG here (http://FS-Shipyards.org)

I dug out the Scheffel version however, and was again blown away

The FO challenges "battery switch!", you click it on the list, the switch animates on the amazing dropdown OH panel, and captain says "Set!"
If you just want to watch, you click the logo up top, and they do it all for you!
Freeware, absolutely amazing.
The Cantu model ain't 'arf bad either:
