That looks really nice! Although I'm not an airliner guy, I'll be interested to see what the die hards think and how it compares to PMDG, especially frame rates. I do appreciate an older airliner being modeled as modern glass cockpits do nothing for me. I love seeing tons of gauges!

I have had the Just flight Connie and DC-3. While they look nice, the functionality leaves a lot to be desired in the cockpit.

Only thing though is that the Connie and DC-3 were developed by different groups. BlackBox Simulation is Graham Waterfield's re-launch of PSS. They're known for doing good work and may be one of the few Just Flight releases actually worthy of the name "Professional".

I just noticed that Milviz has posted screenshots of their upcoming 737-200 as well, and Captain Sim has posted some screenshots of upcoming virtual cockpit for their 737's as well :D
Brace yourselves. The 737's are coming...

The PMDG NGX ? This one has the wrong engines and the wrong panel ;)

The Wilco FeelThere B737 Classic Professional Extreme or whatever they call their packs now? ;)

TBH I actually prefer the Classics to the NGs or the -1/-2, but that won't stop me trying to find the money for the BlackBox/JustFlight one. They've seriously spooked Captain Sim, from the speed the latter have suddenly decided to work on theirs.

If Milviz is making one, that will probably be the one I would go for. Ideally it would be cool if somebody did the -200 with as much systems depth and accuracy as the NGX, but I don't know how likely that is to happen...

Well, as of right now, MilViz is only doing the 737-200C & 737-200C w/Gravel Kit, so it's a very specific model. It'll probably have pretty in-depth systems modelling as I'm sure the 737 Professional has.

Also, if you want systems depth, try the TinMouse 737 package. Both the FS9 and FSX versions are pretty darned involved. :)

Thats great the Tinmouse has been fully updated into FSX! :D But it does need a registered copy of FSUIPC :(

But, I thought the TinMouse didn't have a virtual cockpit ? :?

Unfortunately some of the initial reports about the JF 737 don't seem to be all that positive.
