Somebody on FB found this... Inquiring minds want to know.

I'd love to know more about this! I'm 100% on board with this one!

Stuff like that is easily faked but I'd love one from CS. That's another gap in the market. There is a 737 classic in development by another developer but it hasn't made much progress since I heard about it 2 years ago. They haven't even finished modelling work. I'd love to see a CS one. Hopefully one with a 3d cabin because I love watching ils landings and takeoffs from there.

From their site. I would say just a mistake (since it has 767 info too) but do 767s have these engines: “737-300 with CFM56-3B1 engines.” Hmm? Perhaps an OPSEC lapse by their web site designer? They probably don’t want to be answering “when is it coming out?” questions all the time. But think about it. The market is in glass. Which makes more sense: a 737 II port for a limited though obviously more discriminating audience ;-) or a new 737 classic Boeing? There’s an old legal axiom that silence indicates assent. I’m sure Captain Sim will be along to quash this rumor in no time  :o Fact or fiction, LOVE IT!

Yeah, but it’s just a paint kit. Circumstantial evidence. Without something more... I don’t know.., ;D

great news, thanks for the paintkit info.
finger crossed for a cargo version too :-)

In the paintkit the cargo door is available ;)

Really looking forward to this package!

I'd also LOVE to see a full steam gauge selection for this Classic line.  Southwest Airlines used those in their -300 and -500 variants.  Do a search to see what I mean.

Will the 737-200 Advanced get an updated flight deck with auto throttle and auto land?

I certainly hope this is real and will come out soon. It would complete my line of 737s(again). I've always loved the 737 classic and for the past two years I've been checking places on the internet for a 737 classic and never found one. There was that one I mentioned made by some company I've never heard of but at the rate its going, it'll be finished in like 2030. Super excited to have a CaptainSim one since I've never seen a better classic aircraft from anyone but CS. I just hope they can add a 3d cabin. I can understand the performance issue in an aircraft as big as the 767 but the B733 is small so I'm hopeful they'll add one.

It is out!

But I will wait for the EICAS retrofit, and more repaints, only currently one repaint ONLY for it, so I will wait until more liveries come and the digital eicas has come :)

It’s now out as early access for $60

I'm not so sure that the EICAS retrofit will happen any time soon, if at all! So good luck with the waiting. ;)

Okay so no digital Engine Instruments at all as it is on the newer Classics?

Then not say to FSelite that it is coming in a later service pack...that is fake news..

Not promise anything you guys can`t keep, not a good business strategy to tell things that are not true.

The only thing I'd ask before put money on this is: any LVAR or SDK on this one for me to hook up some hardware MCP control?

I would quickly edit your webpage that current states that it is coming soon if that's the case

Yep, 2nd bullet point on this page:
https://captainsim.net/products/y345/y373/

Of course if you take it off...that might discourage people from buying it.  ;)   I know its a common option in the 737...and the "Coming soon"...is not technically false if there is not a concrete decision to not offer it. 

The word "soon" can mean just about anything....the 767F is also coming "soon" ::)

Fair enough. I hadn't seen that, nor been told about it, and seeing as Captain  Sim had never done it before, no matter how many asked, I doubted we'd see it. My bad. ;)

I’m just mad because when I opened my window at 30,000 feet to flick my cigarette out I could.
