The x737 project in General

The story of the EADT x737 aircraft is a fascinating one in the X-Plane communit
y. Over the last three years this
aircraft was continuously developed and improved with the help of hundreds of XPlane users. Thousands of emails,
constructive or funny, helped me to transform this project into a success. The b
ig thrill however came when Stphane
Maurel invited me to join the EADT team. This was the time when I started the de
velopment of the x737 plugin, giving
the aircrafts cockpit the final touch. All the members of the EADT team helped me
with thousands of hints and,
finally, we made all EADT products work perfectly together. Build flight plans w
ith the EADT flight planner, simulate
pushback with Alexis Maizels incredible XPB plugin, or feel like diving into real
ity with Stphanes incredible
XPCoPilot plugin.
ery, very friendly guy from Italy did a good job for the growing
number of Linux users on X-Plane: Pierluigi Vittori made the Linux plugin, start
ing Linux support with version 2.4.
Beginning with version 2.7 Silvio Schmidt built the Linux plugins. Finally, with
the release of version 3 in November
2008, Dennis Pruefer from Germany joined the team to make fine liveries for the
737NG aircraft. I cant say how
much I appreciate being a team with these guys, and with all the other users who
gave me ideas, bug reports and
hints. Thanks!The story of the EADT x737 aircraft is a fascinating one in the XPlane community. Over the last three years this

The next step into realism was marked by Rob Rickards from Australia. Rob, one o
f the real-world 737-800 pilots
involved, never got tired to send me remarks for all systems which were not perf
ectly simulated, and finally,he gave
me a thorough assistance during the development of the autopilot and anti-ice sy
stems which are included in the
latest x737 release - and unless Im totally wrong, he will continue to do so unti

My thanks go to all patient testers and all users who gave me feedback. What you
see is what weve done together
and will continue to do so.
Nothing would work if Ben Supnik and Sandy Barbour wouldnt have brought their xps
dk to the X-Plane community.
Their support is so incredibly perfect that they saved us dozends of debugging.
Thanks Ben, thanks Sandy!
One of the most fascinating aspects of developing this aircraft for the X-Plane
community is the growing number of
very, very friendly people Im cooperating with. Besides the EADT team, Javier Cor
tes from Spain helped me a lot
with PID-controls which built the major part of the autopilot; he finally made t
he sketch for the autoland component
(flare) that works incredibly well. Pierre Stone from Sweden gave me hundreds of
hints for improvements and built
the 737-700 family member from my project. A really very, very friendly guy from
Italy did a good job for the growing
number of Linux users on X-Plane: Pierluigi Vittori made the Linux plugin, start
ing Linux support with version 2.4.

Many thanks to Michael Weaver for proofreading this manual.
And, of course, thanks Austin for X-Plane, its wonderful!
Whenever you are flying the EADT 737NG (NG means next generation), keep two things i
n mind: This software is
free, made for the X-Plane community, in more than thousand of hours of work, an
d it will be developed to match
reality better with every release. If, however, something does not work as expec
ted, dont despair over it; just drop me
an email. We are anxious to get all bugs fixed for this software.

Installation
To get the EADT 737NG version 3 aircraft running, you have to download any of th
e liveries we offer on our website.
Drop the folder that includes all the aircraft files at any place inside the X-P
lane installation and go - no further input is
required. Please make sure that your system meets the requirements and that ther
e is no more x737 plugin installed
in the general /resources/plugins/ folder, as we needed to install the plugin in t
he pre-v3 versions.
To get additional liveries of the 737NG aircraft, simply proceed in the same man
ner - they will all run independently.
To take advantage of the UFMC support - that is a fantastic FMC add-on written b
y Javier Cortes from Spain - install
the latest UFMC version as described in the UFMC manual. Please care of the vers
ion - UFMC releases before
November 2008 did not work together with the EADT 737NG aircraft.
