X-Plane 11/10 XPFW B737 Classic AI Pack

This package offers a finely tuned collection of Boeing 737 Classic-series AI airplanes specifically crafted for X-Plane 10, courtesy of the XPFW team. Each included variant prioritizes low performance impact yet retains realistic behavior, making it possible to populate your virtual skies with numerous air traffic elements without sacrificing frame rates. By stripping out nonessential components and simplifying the underlying aerodynamic data, the developers (XPFW) have ensured that these AI models blend minimal resource usage with accurate taxi, takeoff, approach, and landing profiles.

Key Technical Highlights of the Boeing 737 Classic Family

Though nicknamed the “Classic,” these variants (300/400/500) introduced advanced cockpit avionics and aerodynamic optimizations. These upgrades significantly improved operational efficiency while preserving the Boeing 737's recognizable exterior lines. Renowned carriers such as Lufthansa, Southwest, and Air New Zealand have relied on these models for mid-range routes.

Performance-Optimized Models

• Reduced complexity: Panels, sounds, and instruments have been removed, keeping only essential data for AI control.
• Texture compression: High-resolution textures have been simplified, minimizing GPU load.
• Streamlined geometry: Non-critical 3D elements are omitted, yet external details remain recognizable from typical viewing distances.
• Adjusted flight model: Parameters are refined to cut down unnecessary calculations in X-Plane 10, curbing frame rate drops.
• Modified AI logic: Tweaked entries in the aircraft files improve ground handling and in-flight maneuvers, making them reflect real-world airline operations more closely.

Liveries Included

Within this bundle, you will find multiple airline schemes, including Aegean, Air Berlin, Air New Zealand, BMIbaby, Kenya Airways, Lufthansa, Malev, Norwegian, Qantas, Slovak, Southwest, and USAir. Each livery showcases the distinctive branding of its respective carrier.

Installation Steps

1. Unzip the downloaded archive containing these AI aircraft.
2. Insert the resultant folder in your “Aircraft” directory within X-Plane 10.
3. Launch the simulator.
4. Open the Aircraft & Situations option (under the “Other aircraft” tab).
5. Replace or add these models to your AI slots as desired.
6. Resume flying with a more realistic traffic environment.

Acknowledgments

Developed by XPFW, the pack was made possible by the community’s combined artistry and technical skill. Numerous designers and repainters have contributed over the years, lending their expertise to the liveries and original aircraft structure. Take advantage of this thoughtfully optimized set to enrich your AI traffic in X-Plane 10. Additional types are expected to follow, extending the realism and variety of your simulated airspace.
