XSaint is currently developing a Boeing 737-900ER, a variant of the B737NG. Currently in general testing, the plane is estimated to be released between this November and next Ferbruary. Along with Xsaint, countless other supporters including kyokoyama (alphaMedia) and JcHND, the aircraft went to become one of the most advanced aircraft in the FlightGear archives. | XSaint is currently developing a Boeing 737-900ER, a variant of the B737NG.

Emmanuel Baranger aka Helijah is making a wonderful model of a Boeing 737-100. It includes a 3d-cockpit, stairs, tyre-smoke and pushback. The original one was developed together with German Lufthansa AG. There were only 30 of them built. You can download the latest model here: [http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/les-appareils/737-100/appareil.htm http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/les-appareils/737-100/appareil.htm] | Emmanuel Baranger aka Helijah is making a wonderful model of a Boeing 737-100.

Heiko Schulz is making a model of the 727-230, another nice aircraft of the same decade like the 737-100. It is currently in developement, but already flyable in CVS. It will also include a 3d-cockpit, tyre-smoke and pushback. When the autopilot will be finished, the Sim-pilots have to fly here like in the old days: No GPS, no FMS, no Autothrottle! Time in which flying really was flying! | Heiko Schulz is making a model of the 727-230, another nice aircraft of the same decade like the 737-100.

Ron Jenson aka Jentron and Helijah made a wonderful model of the single-engine GA, which is produced in Austria/Europe and is already quite common in Europe. It is using JSBsim as fdm and seems already quite realistic in its flight behaviour! | Ron Jenson aka Jentron and Helijah made a wonderful model of the single-engine GA, which is produced in Austria/Europe and is already quite common in Europe.

The 737-series is really attractive to many users and developers. Especially the 737-300 is really loved as it is one of the most known aircraft in the world. | The 737-series is really attractive to many users and developers.

The 737-300 model in 1.9.1 wasn't shaped right- the fuelage was to long, but not wide enough, the wingspan of a 737-100, and the complete model was floating above the ground, wings not textured. | The 737-300 model in 1.9.1 wasn't shaped right- the fuelage was to long, but not wide enough, the wingspan of a 737-100, and the complete model was floating above the ground, wings not textured. | ||
