About real Aircraft:
*********************
Czech Airlines one of the worlds oldest airlines has unveiled a Boeing 737-500 aircraft with a special anniversary design to mark the companys 80th anniversary celebrations. Reproductions of the first CSA airplane, the Aero A-14 Brandenburg, located on the aircrafts tail and front part of the fuselage dominate the historic design. The airplane, with its completely new look was rolled out of Hangar F at Prague-Ruzyni Airport.
Czech Airlines officially unveiled its airplane with a special design to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the foundation of CSA. It contains motifs related to 80 years of regular air operations in the Czech lands. The artist, Yveta Absolonova, created the graphic design for the Boeing 737-500. The image of the first CSA airplane, the Aero A-14 Brandenburg (located on the tail surface and the front part of the aircrafts body) as well as other noteworthy graphic elements, which include a large official anniversary logo, give the Boeing 737 a completely untraditional and attractive look. From the very beginning of preparatory work on the new design, we strove for harmony and an interesting link between two completely different epochs, i.e., the very beginning of aviation and todays modern technological age, said Yveta Absolonová to comment on the unique design of the airplane. The airplane was painted in England and will represent CSA in more than 40 countries worldwide over the following four years. The Boeing was overhauled and painted as planned and we managed to create a totally unique look for the airplane in order to mark the year of our 80th anniversary celebrations, for only little additional cost. I believe that passengers at even the largest world airports will notice our beautifully designed airplane, added Dan Plovajko, Director, Public Relations, CSA.
The airplane B 735s, OK-DGL named "Tábor" , with its historic new design, left CSA Hangar at Prague-Ruzyni Airport in April 18th. It will be put into operation on regular CSA flights and become a distinguished symbol of CSAs 80th anniversary wherever it flies.

description=One should hardly be surprised that the world's most prolific manufacturer of commercial aircraft is also the producer of the world's most popular jetliner. The 737 became the best-selling commercial jetliner worldwide when orders for it hit 1,831 in June 1987 (surpassing Boeing's own 727 as the previous champ). However, it wasn't always that way\s in the first few years of production, there were so few orders that Boeing considered canceling the program. They didn't, and the airplane has more than proven itself in over three decades of service.

note: replace "X" with next number You need
Original cfg file has two fuel tanks specified to make the aircraft compatible with default 737 panel. If you want to have three tanks, as is real, specify them by following:
-------
[fuel]
Center1=0, 0, 0, 2313, 0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
LeftMain=-3, -19, 0, 1500, 0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
RightMain=-3, 19, 0, 1500, 0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
fuel_type=2 //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors=1
//[fuel]
//LeftMain= -3.000, -19.000, 0.000, 2655.000, 0.000
//RightMain= -3.000, 19.000, 0.000, 2655.000, 0.000
//fuel_type=2.000000
//number_of_tank_selectors=1

To make radios fully operative add following:
----
[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 1
Com.1 = 1, 1
Com.2 = 1, 1
Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2 = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1 = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1 = 1

Dreamfleet panel compatibility:
This archieve contains Modified Aircraft config (aircraft.cfg_DF_real737) to make this plane compatible with Dreamfleet panel and excelent airfile from Kees van Til. You can download this file from Avsim file library (search real73v3.zip) . To use Dreamfleet panel simple copy and replace the panel directory by files from Dreamfleet directory ...\FS2002\aircraft\Flight One 737-400\Panel, then unzip b737-400.air from real73v3.zip to FFX 737-500 directory, backup original aircraft.cfg and rename aircraft.cfg_DF_real737 to aircraft.cfg.
Note: Dreamfleet B737 FMC counts the flightdata from original Dreamfleet aircraft.cfg. You have to add ZFW (approx. 38 tons or Your own changed weight) manually to PERF INIT Page to let the FMC count the correct Vref speeds.
