Can you copy and paste the first section of the cfg file to here, so we can get a look at it?

It could be alot of things at this stage.

Make sure your panel.cfg and sound.cfg files are correctly aliased.

Does it simply not appear in the aircraft menu at all?

I get confused here. If the model is not showing in the sim menu, how do you know it's working? (I need things explained slowly to me today).

Try backing up the default 737 mdl file, and using your in it's place, with the name changed to "B737_400.mdl".

If your aircraft appears (minus textures), then the model is ok.

It could be the aircraft cfg file is messed up, or there is a problew with the textures. FS2k4 doesn't seem to like a mix of DXT3 an 32 bit textures. We had the same problem with the iFDG MD-11, although that produced a CTD, rather than it not being available in the menu.

Hm,it seems I cant post pictures here?

What is more strange-in .cfg description text appears between this "_" marks(commas I think it's name?),and if I open the sim and play a bit and then(after playing) I open .cfg file these commas desappear by itself!
I have no idea what's going on...

Ok,this is really,really stupid problem as I named it in thread title-u know why description text dazn show up in menu?
Because I just copied and pasted text right from web page into cfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite that in cfg text appeared absolutely ok-sim daznt show it!
When I try to type text by myself-it fixed the problem...
