Foreword

This panel is based on those made for 777 and 747. Consequently this is not as accurate as it should be. But in this one, a lot of sophisticated functions such as the FMC, PUSHBACK, SOUNDS, the COPILOT view and a Look down “Complete view” are inluded for a very cheap price. We will enhance this panel in the future to make it more accurate to the actual 737-800.

First this panel is adapted to either the 737-800 or the 737-700. Just click on a switch on the FMC to change parameters.

1 - PERFORMANCES ENHANCEMENT Summary

The performances in this new X03 version have been largely increased.

Of course a percentage of the upgrade is difficult to define, depending on so many parameters, the first one being your own computer hardware and software.

Anyway, with all the slides set at “defaults” (except the definition at 1024x768 and full screen), you normally should get a frame rate about 50 to 100 % higher than with the preceding version.

2 - AUDIO ENHANCEMENT Summary

All the noisy switches have sounds attached to them and you will hear the clicks, clacs, crunches whenever you move them. The devices with sounds attached also are sounded, such as for exemple the APU. The COPILOT reports the manoeuvering of devices, for exemple FLAPS, GEAR, etc... and tells CHECKLISTS. The PUSHBACK function has also sounds of the conversation between copilot and ground service.

Absolutely NO extra other addon is necessary to play sounds.

Most of the switches are moving, even those which are not yet operational in FSX. The brightness of all the windows is adjustable.The FMC contains all the fonctions and a fully AUTOMATIC AUTOLAND is included in the autopilot.

4 - The FLIGHT MANAGEMENT COMPUTER Summary

It contains many powerful features. It will:

a) follow a loaded flightplan, created by FSX (or by other software and imported into FSX), both horizontally and vertically and in accordance with defined speeds;

b) flightplan change while flying;

c) manage the TAKE-OFF thrusts and the climb thrust TOGA, MAX THRUST, CRUISE and AUTOMATIC according to the economic index and weather parameters;

d) calculate optimum V1, VR, V2 and cruise speed according to the cruise altitude;

e) control the VNAV (Vertical Navigation) functions when climbing, cruising and descending, taking into account economic speeds and altitudes, user-modified speeds and altitudes and TRANSIT and RESTRICTED speeds and altitudes;

f) manage the function cruise “economic climb” when the aircraft loses weight due to fuel having been burned, in accordance with either the ICAO standard or a user-defined value;

g) manage the HOLD function at an actual position or programmed altitude or at a waypoint with adjusted time or distance and manage the FIX function,

h) display all necessary information relating to:

ATC - flight number, aircraft ident, etc...,

VNAV - speeds and altitudes,

LEGS - giving for each the waypoint, heading, distance and altitude,

PROGRESS – the actual position, the previous and next waypoints and the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at the destination airport,

APPROACH SPEED - useful information on the flap settings and corresponding speed limits required during an approach,

NAV - radios, active and standby, OBS and radials,

COMM - radios, active and standby, transponder and ADF,

POSITION - the current position of the aircraft at the departure airport and (for fun) the three positions of the three IRSs (Inertial Reference Systems);

i) allow direct data entry of all data into all function pages, retrieve VOR ILS COMM radio codes;

j) follow the APPRAOCH and TRANSITION retrieved as described above,

k) allow the brightness of the display to be adjusted for night flights, on both the FMC and the renewed PFD (Primary Flight Display) and EICAS Upper & Lower;

l) allow the aircraft to be flown manually (providing the ROUTE has not been activated),

m) Retrieve an ALTERNATE AIRPORT depending on runway length and airport distance,

n) fully automatic autoland , from the ILS capture to the full stop on the runway.

However it will NOT create and/or directly modify flight plans. (However Flight Simulator itself and other good quality software packages available on the Net do it so well.). However the FS flightplan can be changed during flight using FS procedure.)

5 - The WINDOWS Summary

The Primary Flight Display: PFD

This displays all necessary information about speed, altitude, attitude and autopilot.
