Well, I finally purchased the PMDG 737-800/900. I decided to take it out for a few test flights prior to delivery. Soon she will wear AA colors. ;D

More pics to follow in the near future. Stay Tuned.

It flies better than the 600/700's...use flaps 40 for approaches, the field view is just so much better, since you don't need to fly with the 3 degree positive pitch!
Yoj won't regret this :)

I have not bought this one yet, but the plans are in the works. I don't know if I have enough knowledge about flying to get it off the ground....hell, even fired up :o
It is a fantastic looking bird though.

Thanks Nexus82, I will keep that in mind. Although overall I still prefer the 737-700 (it's my favorite of the whole 737 family), this aircraft is definitely a beauty and flies wonderfully.
SaVas,
Yeah this thing definetly takes some hours of learning. The first time I flew the PMDG 737-700, I sat on the runway for 4.5 hours in the middle of the night while I read through the thick manuals. I eventually got tired and never took off. LOL. But I love it. Reading the manual and getting to know every peice of the airplane really pays off.

Your affection of the -700 surely has nothing to do with your bias to SWA, now has it

;D
I prefer the 800 series though :)

i agree the 700 variant is king of the 737 family..the 800 and 900 look overstretched
the winglet version is pretty funky as well
