Boeing 737-200

This is an update for FSX of the B737-200 by Erick Cantu and painted by Marcelo Allende. It has been given a B737-400 panel and sounds and updated flight dynamics; including adding the other three wheels. This is the whole aircraft. No virtual cockpit. By Bob Chicilo.

Installation:

1. Unzip to a folder of your choice.
2. Copy the aircraft to the FSX airplanes folder.
3. Copy the effect to the main FS effects folder, no need to overwrite anything already there.

The gauges for the B737-400 panel are part of FSX, even though the aircraft is not.

I changed the smoke because the effect that was in the aircraft.cfg file was not with the aircraft.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=130.00
full_flaps_stall_speed=115.00
cruise_speed=436.00 //knots over the ground at 33,000 ft. (270 indicated, mach 0.74) slow cruise.
max_indicated_speed=550.00
max_mach=0.89
max_level_speed=509 //knots over the ground at 33,000 ft. (322 indicated, mach 0.86)

The above speeds are approximate but close according to what I could find on the internet. One thing that was wrong was the service ceiling for the aircraft. That is, if the pilot did not lie when on a flight back from Florida to Detroit, we were informed we were climbing to 39,000 ft. to get over some turbulence; where we stayed until decending to land. The internet says 37,000 ft. for the service ceiling, if true, we would never have reached 39,000 feet. I know we were in a B737-200, I am unsure that it was the advanced model.

This aircraft will hold a course without the nose bobbing up and down at 16x time compression.
