Boeing 737 PIC FS9 for Windows 7

[Fernando Martin]

Hi all:

 

I bought a few week ago the B737 PIC evolution for FSX, nice aircraft but FSX its a f... nightmare so i decided to go back to the simple but very stable FS9... I guess that i have to lost that addon beacuse it wont work outside FSX..

 

What is the best option i have to buy and use this add-on with FS 2004 and Windows 7, 32 bits?

 

From the main Wilco web site..

 

1. 737 Pilot in Command (FS2004 / FSX - XP) 23.95 € - This version is not compatible with Windows 7 as i see..(not Vista/7 compatible)

2. 737 Pilot in Command 400/500 Upgrade (Windows XP) 9.99 € - This one is an upgrade not vista/7 compatible..

3. 737 Pilot in Command Upgrade (Windows Vista / 7 version) 14.90 € - This one its only for FSX?

 

They told me to buy 1 + 2 but some of the features may not work propelly..

So i dont want to spend that amount of money, which is not refundable ,and after that realize that does not work perfectly..

 

Any of you were in the same situation?

 

Thanks in advance for the advises..

Hi, what I have is this :

http://www.wilcopub.com/simulator-add-on/737-evo-2d-panel-upgrade-for-fs2004.html

http://www.wilcopub.com/simulator-add-on/737-pilot-in-command-fs2004-fsx-xp.html (for FS2004)

 

So the basic 737 for FS2004 and the 2D panel upgrade for FS2004.

 

No need to take the 400/500 update as 400 and 500 are already included in the product #1 at 23,95$.

 

I like a lot this classic 737 under FS2004. The VC cannot compete with current 3D modelisation. You have not to care for perfect modelisation, because the design shows its age. Personnaly I don't care to have only 2-D overhead (the overhead is 2D in contrast with the FSX declination) because the system-fidelity is at the rendez-vous. I care more about system than graphics. But you are warned.

 

I have windows 7 (64 bits) and it works well so it should work fine with Windows 7 (32 bits). You simpl cannot expect support for an unsupported OS, I guess. However, as an expert user of FS2004, I add to tweak manualy the panel.cfg fil after installation of the 2D panel upgrade for FS2004. Because the panel upgrade creates a total mess in the VC-gauges organization. Not sure everybody can do that. Not sure if it is an effect of Windows 7.

 

Regards

Javy.
