Yeah what's actually the deal with this? I really want to fly a 732 in FSX but the 1.1 isn't quite there. Cry

It's running late. Sad

Any idea on how late or what this "update" will entail?

No. But I assume it will be released when it's ready and that it will be to fix up all the big issues that the 737 Captain currently has. I also hope that that's what the update will address. Wink

Thank you, Mark. Yes we are indeed working on the update and it will be released when ready. We are sorry about the delay.

You would be better to browse this 737 Captain 1.x forum looking for the major issues with the 737.

Hi

Interested by that updated 737 but will there be a P3D version or will it be still strictly FSX?

Oh I have browsed most topics in the 737 forum.  I own the bird, and have applied some of the flight model mods and so forth.  The only real issue I had was with the FMC-like device (I forget what it is called) crashing the program.   But I just use it now for takeoff settings and have no trouble. 

I was just wondering what everyone else was wanting to see in the upcoming update!   Smiley

The two major problems I have:

1) Sometimes the battery loses power (even with the APu or External (ground) Power). I fix this by reinstalling the 737 and it will be fine for quite a while. fsxpaul has a mod that can help, but I don't need it most of the time!
2) The engine power of the 737 is too much. Well I think it is (I would like to know what the real world pilots of the 737 original series think), so I would like to see it reduced.
3) The PDCS (FMC-like device) causes a CTD too often. I can sometimes do everything in the PDCS without FSX crashing, as long as I enter the data really slowly. And I do mean really slowly! If I forget for a few seconds and speed up - CTD!
4) This isn't a bug, it's a wish - I hope that the CWS (Control Wheel Steering) is improved to be as good as it is in the L-1011. It is quite good already, but when I release the joystick (when initiating a bank) it will start to straighten out before returning the bank to the degrees that it was banking at when I released the joystick - it's hard to explain. But if you have the L-1011, you can compare the two and I think you'll see what I mean.

All in all, the 737 is only slightly ahead of the 707 as my second favourite Captain Sim aircraft. The L-1011 is my favourite by quite a large margin! Fixing the bugs in the 737 will bring it right up behind the L-1011. I hope!. Cheesy Grin

This seemed like an appropriate place to drop in and say hi, since I haven't been around for awhile. I've missed the friendly, helpful community! I was slated to do a 777 review and actually had made a good start, then got sick and couldn't complete the project, which I felt really bad about for several reasons.

So now I'm just another retiree (although that certainly didn't occur as planned, either.)

Having been away from flight simulator for many months, I have had to re-learn so much. Aside from a certain Airbus, the airplane I've been spending most of my time in is the 737. I personally think it is the nicest looking, and is fun to fly.

If the expression "desperately" can be used in a flight simulation, this airplane is "desperately" in need of its update.

These old airplanes are really a handful, aren't they? I think you have to fly some high-tech wonder plane like the Airbus every once in awhile to appreciate the oldies.

The 737 is solid in many ways. In other ways... well, one or two things should come with a big INOP DO NOT TOUCH sticker!

Totally in agreement with your tenor, Tim. Looking forward to the 737 update, it's needed and the aspects it should touch got described in quite some detail I think. Great potential in that plane.

I'm sorry to hear about how everything has happened for you Tim. Sad I hope you can enjoy your retirement. Wink

I've been "retired" (for lack of a better word) for 22 years. It was not entirely by choice, but I do enjoy it. Every day is like a weekend for me. Shocked

About the update for the 737. Yes, if some of these bugs can be fixed, then the 737 Captain will be an even greater product. It comes second in favouritism, after the L-1011, of Captain Sim products.

Like all of you, I hope it isn't too far off, but we will just have to wait until it's ready. Undecided
