Simviation Forums

Like the subject line says, I am looking for a high quality 737. My two primary criteria are that the virtual cockpit controls must nearly all work as in the real aircraft and that the flight model be pretty accurate. I would also like it to look aesthetically pleasing, but it doesn't have to go as far as the Captain Sim models with elaborate cabin interiors and engine maintainance access, etc. However, I only want to see 3D switches and knobs in the virtual cockpit; the flat ones really turn me off.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you're running FS9, you can try their 737NGs: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/priv/pa ... 9/738.html
Probably one of the most realistic and detailed 737s out there.
If you're running FSX, well, not so sure.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that I am running FSX. I will check out their site anyway to see if their model is compatible.

There's one being produced at the moment by PMDG, not sure when it will be out.
You could try this aircraft:http://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=prod_737pic

the ariane 737 are fairly good

Araine planes are super expensive for an addon though, last I checked.

I'm too waiting for a decent 737NG. Next year the PMDG http://www.precisionmanuals.com/priv/pages/prod/fsx/ngx.html version will be out. Ariane is way too expensive in my opinion - not like I can't afford it but 80

I looked at the Ariane and was very surprised by how much it costs. I really can't see paying that much money for a sim model. However, the upcoming PMDG 737ng sounds really good and is reasonably priced. After hearing how detailed the controls are for the FS9 version, I have decided to purchace the FSX version when it is released in the upcoming year.

Thank you all for your excellent advice in helping me choose the product that best fits what I'm looking for.
