thanks for downloading this repaint of the FlightFX boeing 737-800 in Transavia
Airlines colors. This is version 2 of my Transavia boeing NG series. The first
serie was painted on the boeing NG's of AFG (www.alliedfsgroup.com). Allthough they
are not available anymore on AFG's website, it is still possible to download them
from the Dutch Flight Simulator site, http://www.hinttech.com/~dfs/.
I hope you'll enjoy flying this bird as much as I enjoyed painting it.
Just extract the contents of this zip-file to your FS2002/Aircraft folder.
To operate the retractable landing lights you must assign a key for tailhook.
To open the door use shift+E, and to operate the airstairs you must assign a key
for wingfold.
Transavia doesn't use the NWA/KLM stickers anymore on their planes, so they are
left out in this package. But, I have included the texture containing these stickers
for people who like it better that way. Just copy the "b738fuseforward_t.bmp" from
the "texture.TRA\optional KLM_NWA sticker\"-directory to the "texture.TRA"-directory.
The 737-800 have CFM 56-7B20 motors and and maximum thrust is 26400 lbs. Maximum
thrust is seldom needed and the planes are derated, quite alot, on take off and
climb. A normal T/O config would be Flaps 5, N1 as low as 85 %, Vr about 120-130
kts. Climbspeed above FL100 is 300 kts. When airspeed reaches M0.78 the plane
climbs to hold Mach no instead. It cruises at M0.79 and can climb up to FL410
depending on weight. Decend is normally done with idle thrust, 280 kts, and that
gives a decend rate of approx 2200 ft/min.
ZFW = 57,4 Metric Tons or 126200 lbs (found in aircraft.cfg)
MTOW = 70 Metric Tons
Vref Flaps40
60 T = 133 kts
55 T = 127 kts
50 T = 120 kst
Allow for another 5 kts for approach spd.
It takes up to 179 PAX in a 1-class configuration

***With a great deal of help from h2o and Daniel Pimental***
BACKGROUND:
After releasing the 737-200, I thought I'd drop a little surprise in on y'all. So Daniel, Takehiro, and I decided to finish up my 737-800 and release it. We also included some of Ben's textures, which is a good thing, because his KLM is better than mine...;-)
INSTALLATION:
Just extract to your FS2002/Aircraft folder. For now it is configured to use the default panel but there are replacements available, I use the NDK 737-800 by Andy Karlstetter which is available at most FS sites.
LEGAL:
This aircraft is freeware. It may not be uploaded to any site which requires pay for use. WE HOLD THE RIGHTS TO OUR WORK AND WILL ENFORCE THEM BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Penalties include the process of strapping offender to CFM engine fan and giving it a quick runup...mwa-hahahahaha!
SOUNDS:
We have also uploaded a set of sounds. See the documentation for that to get those working.
REPAINTING:
Is not only allowed but encouraged. When we can get it fixed, we'll release the paint kit. No one ever looks in our initial releases anyway:P
Stipulations are:
-It must be kept free
-You must credit FlightFX as the original authors
MISCELLANEOUS:
To operate the retractable landing lights you must assign a key for tailhook. To open the door use shift+E, and to operate the airstairs you must assign a key for wingfold.
CREDITS:
-Daniel for the idea to make the -800
-Takehiro for the wing textures (thanks, mine sucked..:-) )
-Ben for all the sweet liveries
-Mike for the FDE
-Jon for the 3D fans
-Jim Campisi for the wheel textures
-James Richard Covington, Jr for use of the photo we used to make our fan textures
-Steve for painting all those 737's and for keeping me sane sometimes
-Timon for the sound clips
-Airside TV for more of 'em
-Boeing for maintaining a balance of '60's design and modern know-how to make an EXTREMELY graceful aircraft
-Foo Fighters for their music, which I basically listened to CONSTANTLY while designing this thing.
(And by the way, the APU is my GENERATOR...and it DOES fire whenever the engines quit (fans of the Foo's will get that one)!!!:P)
