As I look back at the year 2001 in the flight simulation community, its been one heck of a year for advancements in aircraft and panel technology. It all started off with PSS releasing their highly realistic and successful Boeing 747-400 package. With a fully functional FMC and highly detailed aircraft, it was a steal at just under US$10. Then came renowned panel authors Eric Ernst, Laurent Crenier, Wade Chafe and Pedros Sousa, along with Wilco Publishing with their 767 Pilot In Command. And once again, the bar went further in terms of realism, immersion, and real world fidelity.
And now, Flight1 in the US and Just Flight in Europe are here to try and push the envelope further with the Dreamfleet Boeing 737-400 package. Each of the developers mentioned above provides a realistic package for their respective aircraft. And Dreamfleet is no exception. I've spent just over two years working on Boeing 737s and I must say that this package is the best recreation of the real aircraft to date. I'm not going to go into a long-winded historical saga of how the 737 came about and its history. The downloadable documentation takes care of that, along with Boeing's website, and many other websites on the Internet. A quick mention—the product release used to write this review was the downloadble version that included the latest patch. Some users reported problems with DPs/STARs not being available with the out-of-the-box version, but if you apply the latest patch available from the Dreamfleet website, that problem will be alleviated. So in our first section, we'll talk about documentation and installation.
