this will probably be the last update,
because today, the final details were added to the cockpit and external model...
so the 3d model is finished
now the model will go the guys at Project Skyworks who will make the textures, flight dynamics and get it ready for FS
hopefully it'll come out right in time for xmas
sunday i'll be heading out for a 2 month trip to europe, so i'm glad i managed to finish it before i go...
in the past 2 weeks i've worked on the model 10 hours a day, everyday. and now it's finnaly complete.
take a look
those are not the final textures, they're just markers for the position of gauges
new thrust revesrsers and inner slats
enjoy!

Holy Christ on a bike, YOU WORK FAST!
I wish I had your talent, I look forward to seeing your model textured up and finished.
Thanks in advance for a great xmas present for us all!

Amazing looking moach! How much of the VC will be functional? I guess quite a lot. Have you added gauges or are you leaving that to the finishing team?
Impressive looking work!

How the h377 [in real life] do the pilots ever get off those seats in the middle of a flight? You know, when they have the need to go to the restroom.
Judging from the size of that cockpit, it doesn't seem possible to just roll back those seats.
I have already started on the cockpit of the CRJ-700 for PSW. It's not going to be THAT detailed like the one you made for your 737, but at least it's going to be more above average for a freeware project.
BTW, Moach.
Judging from those pics you have just provided, it seems that you have gotten your hands on some diagrams or extremely-detailed 3-view images.
Where did you get those?

the seats do roll back a bit, but i guess it can't be easy to get out of those seats
about the gauges, no, i haven't added them, that will be up to the PSW designer. i think it'll use default 777 gauges (which i discovered, by the way, to be perfectly accurate for the 737-700)
as for the vc, i want it to be capable of full IFR so, a lot of it will be functional. i don't know if the knobs and switches will work though
and about the 3 view, the one i had was actually very inaccurate, but i went through A LOT of pictures to get the details right. it's amazing how much information you can find about the 737 on the net
now the model is in the hands of project skyworks, who will finish the work for me since i won't be around my beloved computer for the next 2 months (trip to europe)
i know they'll do a great job texturing and adding gauges and flight dynamics, so i think when i come back the model will be all ready for download
i wanna thank all of you for all the great feedback on the updates and for all the help you gave me to carry on with this project, without it, it probably wouldn't have gotten this far.
this project is dedicated to all the great people at SimV

Brilliant job, Moach! Enjoy the rest on your trip.
I can see that this will become my default 737. Hope the guys at Skyworks can provide a good range of liveries, so that more people can fly it 'locally'.
My vote goes for British Airways, or Virgin Express!

Good luck. I hope Project Skyworks does a better job then they did with their own B717. They have alot of talent but get caught up in alot of childish things that affects their output. Some of them are only teenagers trying to act alot older. They have promised a custom cockpit with VC and custom sound and none of that is delivered with the B717. The "custom sounds" are the standard Microsoft sounds that come with FS09 and the B717 uses the default B737-400 cockpit. They present a aircraft.cfg and B717.air that are direct copies of the default B737.
So good luck. I hope they do a better job.

Well, I have been chit-chatting with the members of PSW.
One of them is around 11 years old. I'm surprised to see that people that young have good talent.
I'm 19 and I only started 3D modeling when I was around 17 or when FS2002pro came out.
Whenever I make custom flight dynamics, I would always the Flight Model Workbook from
www.avhistory.org
The workbook helps maintain realism because it has a document that tells you how certain parts of the aircraft is measured.

Now if only it had a comprehensive troubleshooting guide, I could figure it out . . .

To be honest, there are very few aircraft I've downloaded, that have anything like the original flight dynamics that they were supplied with, as I've customised and replaced where necessary. Some dynamics are certainly better than others (even with the same type of plane), and often, it's mix-and-match by the pilot (that's you!) to get it how you want it.
Whole package deals are rarely great from all perspectives, same as with hi-fis. You can get better sound if you mix and match components to your requirements, and the open architecture of FS means that you can do the same here.

Found this on the Project SkyWorks forum. Someone mentioned that Moach was turning over his B737 to PSW to finish the textures, etc. the PSW reply:
"
The Boeing 737-700 isn't really an official project but no matter what, we make things high quality. We are trying to clear off the Airbus 380-100 & the Canadair CRJ-700 right now and after those two are dealt with, the 737-700 will come in handy.
"
Does not sound like they are in a hurry to finish this for Moach.

That's a real shame; I'm looking forward to flying it. But you can understand that there may be a queue ahead of it. (Being a Brit, I know all about queues.)
