Just an FYI to everyone that the Fleet Library is expected to be updated quite soon, most likely before the weekend. We have a number of changes queued up and needing a final shakeout, including a new DC-10 panel, a new L-1011 model, some 757 and 727 tweaks as well as a major revamp of the 737 Fleet Installer, with completely new panels and sound packages across the board (alas, no model changes).
There'll be a news entry when it's posted in the library, but just a heads up for you.
Cheers!

Manuel, the TinMouse II *model* is NOT going to be included. We're still only at the point where we have 3 textures, instead of the 9 or so we have for the FFX. When I get to around 6 or so, I'll strongly consider updating the models. Same deal with the POSKY 738; when we get NC/NNC/KLM/Shuttle, we'll talk.
The 737 upgrade is entirely panel/sound related, and is just being held up by a 732 autopilot issue. Anyone know why my autopilot refuses to engage?
Cheers!

On a side note, does anyone have any complaints about the Fleet 738?

The current or the new? If its the current, the only complaint I have is about the autopilot displays on the panel.
I found Delta NNC and KLM colors for the posky 738. The posky 738 now has a vc.

Did you check the electrical system? Failing that, are you using the latest patch on the TM panel? I think they're up to Patch 3 now. Patch 1 came out and immediately got withdrawn, Patch 2 fixed a lot of stuff but they followed it up immediately with a Patch 3.

Not until they are ready and tested. We've been held up a bit with the 737s and I have family in town this weekend so it'll be pushed back a few days.
Cheers!

The 738 can be a little slow responding to control inputs at landing Vref, 135-140 knots.
