Three out of four models from Innis Cunningham's Boeing 737NG series have been included in FlightGear's GIT repository. Despite being an initial release, the models are characterized by great attention to detail in the 3D cockpit, with some of the more advanced systems such as the autopilot and autobrake systems already fully operational. The models are further characterized by excellent Flight Dynamics Models (FDMs), co-developed and tested by real-life 737 pilot David Culp, and excellent exterior texturing, provided by FlightGear's very own texture master Gooneybird. Included are the 600, 800, and 900 variants. The 737-700 is expected to follow soon. | |||
