Project Opensky 737-700
review
The Boeing 737 is a popular medium-range, narrow body commercial passenger jet aircraft. The Boeing 737-700 was launched in 1993 as a replacement of the 737-300. Many new improvements like more fuel efficient CFM56-7 turbofan engines, increased wingspan, increased fuel capacity, higher MTOW, redesigned vertical stabilizer and glass cockpit with modern avionics are standard on all Next Generation 737s.
Project Opensky, is a freeware aircraft developer group that has been around for some time. They developed many aircraft models for FS2002 and FS2004, mostly Boeing aircraft. Their Boeing 737-700 is a highly detailed representation of its real world counterpart. A few of the features are: Realistic flight dynamics, many high quality liveries, special animations like a moving pushback truck and airstairs, realistic gear suspension, advanced lift based flexing wings, and more.
Later after the aircraft was released, project open sky also released a detailed soundpack for their 737NG series, it is on their site. The sounds sounds nice and it is detailed, interior and exterior.

notes
"As of December 2007, Project Opensky no longer supplies or supports files for the 737NG panel and virtual cockpits. Reason being is the creator of the files has left Project Opensky to form his own payware company, and at his request, all files have been removed and support for those files has been suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have on your flight sim experience."
So there is also no point in downloading the virtual cockpit versions, because those are using the gauges of the 737NG panel package.
In case you'll see an image instead of a panel when you load the aircraft, you have to change the alias in the panel.cfg file. Go to the panel folder of the aircraft and open the panel.cfg file with notepad. Remove all text and add this instead:
[fltsim]
alias=b737_400\panel
Save the file. For FSX users, use this alias:
[fltsim]
alias=B737_800\panel

on all of the openskys 737's when i land is it normal for it to use all of the runway?on 06/15/2009 at 17:14:24
The 737 takes up mostly up to all of the rwy so get the planes speeds down to about 140Kts or else the plane will not stop faston 08/08/2009 at 19:56:52
jamal/jeff i think this i have this plane and when i take off with flaps the plane takes off very quickly like a 747 or a 737 so if you land it with no flaps it will land quickerAdd a Comment
