Nothing special, the model is not even that good but the livery is great 8)
It's the Eurowings BAe 146 commuter package, great panels, especially the analogue one!

The pic is not edited, just wanted to show you what I'm talking aboutl 8)

Guess what. It has an FMC (though a 737 fmc, licensed from Dreamfleets 737), and it has an EFIS cockpit aswell with an EADI and ND.
The BAe 146 has an LNAV mode so it flies the programmed route, but no autothrottle or VNAV mode ( there is a vnav button on the autopilot panel but it's inop)

The FMC contains loads of SIDs/STARS into various airports.
However I find it quite nice to fly my Sids and arrivals with the VOR/DME indicators. That's how I first learned to fly FS back in the days, Much more planning involved and actual flying. Just get your charts out 8)

Very nice shots, Nexus, but it looks like I'm going to have to disagree with you- that livery is not to my liking. I think that the variety of stupid and just plane 'so-what' names and liveries in europe (mainly in LCCs) is rediculous.

The list goes pathetically on and on.... Just my .02!

haha, FlyMe started to fly their 737 classics from my homebase airport (ESGG) some months ago. A friend of a friend was recently hired by 'em

And come on, we all know you don't like the livery because the aircraft wasn't built in Seattle Wink

To Junior: Here is the EFIS version of the aircraft. It's not a glass cockpit, more like a hybrid between new and old. Anyway I prefer the analogue one...call me conservative if you want

And the FMC..."boeing 737 style" (talk about misplaced)

Kinda feels like this thread is heading waaaay off topic now

I love the Eurowings Professional, only bad thing is that theres no VC, but the superb 2D panels make up for the loss I think. Great shots!

I never fly in VC anyway, it's hard to get adequate instrument readings and I always look at my engine indicators which is impossible to see unless you pan around in the VC. Not smooth at all.
The splendid 2dpanels makes instrument scanning EASY.
Graphics are crispier, gauges esier to read, frame rate is better, for me the VC fills no function at all

But for me,the "being there" feeling increases rapidly when I'm in the VC.
Seems,that I fly buses too little. Gotta take my A310 and BAe 146 (both freeware) out of the hangar again...

Boeingman is correct, there are some very dumb names out there! The newest is Hello, a new swiss airline. There are pics on A.net

Btw, Nice Shots
