Great video find. This is the aircraft that I fly 90% of the time. TFDI did a fantastic job with bringing this aircraft to market. I HIGHLY encourage pilots to fly this plane. It does take a min or two to fly it well but I promise you it’s worth it.

Chad. What do you use for the ZFWCG?
I fly to Hawai'i often and island hop in the TFDI. I've never been able to find a value for the ZFWCG.

According to this from TFDi, the ZFWCG isn't needed: https://docs.invernyx.com/en/717/general-knowledge

Thanks Ken.
I found it in the doc you linked:
"The load statistics are used during the Weight INIT page for the GW, BLST IN ZFW, and TOCG selection. Please note: ZFWCG is not needed."

Harvey,
I too wish they would bring it up to 2020. In fact I am stuck using it in P3dv4 because in V5 it has some weird well know VRAM issues. Unless you have mega high VRAM it’s unusable. I’m actually going to reach out to TFDI and see if they’ve come up with a issue to correct this problem. As stated before it’s a well known issue.

Is the B-717 included with the 737 program? I don't see it listed as an approved aircraft for me to fly. It's also not listed as an additional rating available. Do I need to request permission from someone or just download it and fly?

Raymond, it's listed in Stage 2's MD-88 Program as a primary aircraft. See Pilots Manual, page 15.
