At long last I have managed to clean out most of my Fleet Library issues and the Library has been updated. Here's a rundown of the changes:
Boeing 737 - We have completed revamped this installer, top to bottom. The 734 has been dropped, and we have included the TinMouse II (Patch 4) 737-200 panel and sound scheme. We've got a new 733 panel and 737 CFM56 sound set, and the 738 panel has been updated to eliminate a gauge that often caused FS9 to crash and includes a new moving map display. I've also tweaked the 738 FDE.
Boeing 727 - We've updated the FDE to provide more realistic EPR ratings based on feedback from Lewis and Michael. Hopefully this will get us into the ballpark compared to the DF727.
Boeing 757 - A minor EPR tweak.
Boeing 707/720 - This includes all-new panels and FDEs from HJG and George Carty.
McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 - Includes a brand-new panel from Helio Estrela so we don't have the old "night of the FS98 zombies" panel.
Cheers!

Well, I'll be doing some downloading over the next couple days. I need to get my paws on that 732 and see what all the fuss is about.
Thanks Luke!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The updates are ready thanks Luke! Ive tested the 737 installer and it is great! The biggest improvement is in the 737-300 and 500, that panel is excellent along with the sound making for a great a/c! The 738 panel is improved but still has the wrong color ap displays. The 738 is still good though.

I downloaded the 737 installer. I am very impressed with the 738. Is there something different with the flight dynamics? I think she flies alot better.
