Flight Simulator files

PMDG 737 - SIDs and STARs for Shannon (EINN). These are the latest procedures for Shannon and work with AIRAC 0710. The file was created by Terry Yingling and the SIDs were written by Aidan Frost. I added the STARs (from the Irish AIP) and the necessary waypoints. Click here to download.

The PMDG 737 with working weather radar!

Weather radar on the PMDG 737 - yes, it can be done! You just have to purchase the RealityXP Flight Line Wx500 weather radar and then the merge requires some lines of code to be added to your PMDG 737 panel config files for each variant. This is a wonderful add-on for what is already an extremely realistic Flight Simulator product. One of the few systems which is not modelled on the PMDG 737 for FS2004 is now achievable! See what it looks like here! Includes instructions on what to do to get it merged with the ND panel on the 737NG.
