Flight-FX Boeing 737-300 Update

Second update for FSX of the Flight-FX B737-300 by Erick Cantu and repainted (Buzz) by Andrew Struppa. Includes another paint; author unknown. Features changed flight dynamics, changed panel to the B737-800 panel and altered primary flight display and engine gauges so they are easier to see, added pitch-trim gauge, changed size of the GPS and changed forward view so everything looks closer. This is the whole aircraft. No virtual cockpit. By Bob Chicilo.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. Copy the aircraft to the FS airplanes folder. The only warning is if you have my previous update of this aircraft; you may want to move it to a temporary folder while you try this version out, so there is no conflicts. Then you can decide which one to keep.

All I did to the primary flight display and the engine gauges was to eliminate the surrounding screen, and repositioned them and resized them.

See below for operating speeds: From aircraft.cfg file.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed= 120.00
full_flaps_stall_speed= 96.00
cruise_speed= 492.00 //knots over the ground at 33,000 ft. (310 indicated, mach 0.84)
max_indicated_speed=620.00
max_mach=0.920
max_level_speed=340 //knots indicated at 33,000 ft.

I found that it took 40 to 50% of N1 on approach to hold 120 knots unless there was extra altitude to lose. This with wheels down, full flaps, and some up trim.

This aircraft can fly at up to 16x time compression; at least it does for me. If you want to know why I say that; try to fly the default b737-800, ON AUTOPILOT, at 8x or 16x time compression at cruise altitude and cruise speed.

Anyone: You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions: One, you don't try to make money with them. Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
