737-800 What Happened

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

We always build the longest variant first that's why the 737-900ER and MAX 9 were built first.

Out of interest what’s the reason for this? Is it easier to downsize an existing model than upsize?

The only things I wanted to see in this beautiful simulator is the 737-800 NG and the updated airac

Yes, Ipacs stated that a few years ago already. I don’t really know why tho, for me, as a non developer it seems to be the same making the shortest version first

Yes that's it.

I do hope we get shorter variants soon. The 787-10 has already been out for 3.5 years with no variants. Hopefully it doesn't take that long for shorter 737 and A350 variants.

Quote from Jet blast of A350 1000

Yeah the A350 is cool but I like the 737-800 more for its Southwest,American,Ryanair,Sun Country,Delta,United etc. Really hoping this is there next aircraft!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Tell me you are American without telling me you’re American by listing almost no European operators

IPACS said that he’s building large variants first so he can shorten them to smaller variants and make them bigger for larger variants because how do you think we got the A319 & A321?

737 What Happened?

The worst recorded series in civil aviation over the past 50 years. Before that, we have to go back to the famous DC-10s.

I confess that I prefer longer aircraft, but I also believe that classic aircraft, which are my passion, should not be missing from this wonderful simulator, especially the Boeings 727-200, 747-200, 767-300 and other classics such as DC-10 and Tristar L1011 among others, of course...

McDonnell Douglas mafia ‘bought’ and took over Boeing with Boeings money! They are the people who brought us the DC-10 with post crashes worse and worser😢 pressurised cargo bay door latches.

The 737 is OK, remember all the amazingly clever undisclosed Toulouse software crashing A320s?

For updated Airac suits it is necessary to integrate Navigraph support into the simulator but the developers refuse to bring this feature. This subject has already been widely discussed in other topics but the position of the developers regarding Navigraph is always the same, that is, they do not want to implement it.

I understand. That's the issue, we pay for a product, not to have the updated airac, but we still have to have an idea of how to plan a route like now with the updated airac.

And the bolts in '79, the DC-10 had a bad reputation, just like the famous DC-9s, which experienced the worst incidents.
The last flight I took in a DC-10 was in '74, brand new from Swissair, Bombay-Zurich, fortunately without incident.

That's true! However, at Airbus, these incidents were never questioned, except for the A440 blunders.

Regardless, Airbus remains the most reliable aircraft manufacturer in the world and far ahead of its competitors.
