FSX WestJet Boeing 737-800. A repaint for the default B737. The first 737-800…
WestJet Boeing 737-800 brings a convincingly modeled Canadian twin‑engine narrow-body to short and medium routes, with airline-accurate exterior markings, a solid virtual cockpit, and stable handling from takeoff to landing. Built around KittyHawk-based flight dynamics refined by David Grindele, it runs smoothly in FSX while preserving crisp visual detail.
This freeware package offers an accurately modeled Canadian narrow-body aircraft for virtual aviators seeking stable short-to-medium-haul performance. It incorporates a detailed exterior, reliable flight dynamics, and is fully compatible with popular simulator environments.
Based on KittyHawk's flight model, this release highlights the characteristics of a twin-engine, single-aisle jet suitable for regional and transcontinental operations. All subsequent refinements, including adjustments, were overseen by the developer David Grindele. Thanks to these combined efforts, the aircraft's aerodynamics replicate real-world behavior.
