This is a repaint of the FFX 737-800 in Ryanair's new colours, with the additional 'Pride of Scotland' titles carried by EI-DAO.
Respect FFX copyright, and respect mine (which applies to the repainted textures)
Have fun flying!
Installation
*************
Unzip into a temporary file, find the folder called 'Boeing 737-800 Ryanair' and put this into your 'Aircraft' folder. This will give you the aircraft, with default panel and sound.
If you already have another FFX 737-800, you might just want to use the textures with your previously downloaded plane. In that case, open up my Ryanair 737-800 folder, and rename the texture folder 'texture.pos' (without the inverted commas!) Add this re-named folder into the folder which has your 737-800. open up the CFG file and (after making a backup copy)
cut and paste the section below into the file after the previous similar entry. Change 'fltsim.xx' and 'paint xx'to the next appropriate number.Discard the rest of my 'Boeing 737-800 Ryanair' 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.

B737-800 PERFORMANCE
********************
The 737-800 has CFM 56-7B20 engines but apparently Ryanair opted for the least powerful variant. Maximum thrust, however, is seldom needed and the planes are de-rated, quite alot, on take off and climb. A normal T/O config would be Flaps 5, N1 as low as 85 %, Vr about 120-130kts.(with appropriate fuel for a typical Ryanair flight) 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. Descent is normally done with idle thrust, 280 kts, and that
gives a descent 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

ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION
***********************
By FlightFX - http://www.sgair.net/FlightFX
***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)
