Hi,

I am looking to buy a Boeing 737-800 add on for FSX.

I am looking for one with most functionality, FMC, Full autopilot, STARs, SIDs etc.

Has anyone got any experience with any of these add ons? which one would you recommend?

Thanks

John

thanks for your reply.

I need one with a programmable FMC, I don't think the default has this option

Jono1978, I don't think there are any such detailed 737 for FSX yet, but all I know is PMDG has a 737 for FS2004 with all the funcitons you want 😉 Im probably wrong though, I bet someone else might find one 😉

I think you're right Cheeks, I had a look around to update the data bank in my head Geek

Jono if you're prepared to wait you could look at the PMDG NGX - 737NG V2 once it's been released: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/priv/pages/prod/fsx/ngx.html
Whether this is going to be a 737-600/700 or a 737-800/900 I can't really tell, maybe you can. Unless you insist on an -800, that is bound to be a good product as all PMDGs are and as Cheeks said has everything you're looking for.
If you don't want to wait and you're happy to fly another aircraft, you could check out the PMDG 747 for FSX or the Level-D 767 for FSX.
Both aircraft are also available for fs9 and the Level-D despite its age compared to the PMDG was still the preferred aircraft by many who had both. Level-D (LDS) have very good customer support and a huge following.

Hi thanks for the replies,

I'll check those out. I'm only halfway through ATPL's but would like to start familiarising myself with all of the functions listed above so I can probably wait a bit

Cheers

PS. Before someone else jumps in, FMC = Flight Managment Computer 😀
