I'm revamping my 737 model and planning to release it for FS9
There will also some minor tweaks to make it look better such as the new fan blades (Eng1 - New, Eng2 - Old Blades)
Note: This is an FS9 only release and there is no plans for an FSX native or port version

Thank for the replies.
To any texture artist or FDE guys out there wanting to help let me know since I'm currently a one man show and other help to improve it will be appreciated.

Shouldn't be an issue since it will be just the default 737 panel being used (any animation is either stock or hard coded XML in the model)

Sounds good!
Might be a stuid question, but how much has been completed on this model, in percentage roughly?

Model itself: 97%
Whats being done is remapping all the textures to a new (hopefully better) layout which is at 15%. Then we would need to make some master textures for it.

Thats much better news than expecting tbh! All the best to you. After enigma sim left, i was hoping someone would do a 300sp finally (fully finished)
So im glad. Looks really great and really promising!
Regards..

Work is progressing slowly on the model/textures. Saw that some new models are featuring a modeled LPT so added that to the model. (For those who might not know LPT = Low Pressure Turbine, they are the first set of blades you see when you look at the back of the engine core.)

Here and there, though on pause for the moment for the AI E170, main road block is texturing since it has to be redone completely
