Today 4 months to the date after we released the FAIB Classic 737 we are proud to release our latest project the 737 NG series along with a SP1 for the Classics.
These models are the culmination of almost a year of work that began with what was supposed to be a native FSX model of the 737 that could use existing AIA paints, It has since evolved into a complete new model family standing in its own right. These NG’s are truly the most mature models FAIB has released and we hope you will enjoy them for years to come in FS9 and FSX.
The Classic SP1 is available in the form of a new base pack, please read the included instruction to help you upgrade your Classics. These along with the NG base packs and are available at the branch of manufacturing, the NG paint kits will be made available shortly.
As with the release of the Classics there are currently limited amount of repaints available for download but more would be uploaded in the coming days so check here often.
Initial paints available are:
- Southwest Airlines 737-700 representative fleet
- Southwest Airlines 737-800 representative fleet
- EL AL Israel Airlines 737-700 fleet
- EL AL Israel Airlines 737-800 fleet
features of the models:
1. 16 models per FS version(32 total) with native FSX and FS9 models.
2. HD textures for the FSX version featuring quadruple the amount of space at little to no performance hit.
3. 6 LOD levels for optimal performance.
3. All models feature independent lights, With landing lights that are only on when on the runway or on approach.
4. All models feature moving parts including landing gear, gear compression, rolling tires, spoilers, thrust reverse’s, flaps that also deploy for takeoff and nose gear steering.
5. Base pack comes with Boeing house livery.
Notable improvements over AIA models:
1. Wing root bottom has proper mapping.
2. Almost all variations and types of satellite domes are modeled.
3. Overall better shape.
I would also like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to our new donation button(s). If you can please help FAIB by donating, thank you.

Hello
What`s about the 737-900, 737-900ER, 737-600? and may be 737BBJs?
The 600 and 900 are right there in the branch of manufacturing. the 900ER is externally identical to the 900 except for the added emergency doors and these are controlled by the painter.
There are currently no specific models for the BBJ’s but the 700/800/900 can easily be made to resemble BBJ’s only missing the vertical tail antenna.
Thank you Erez for the great models you are providing us flight simmers. You do great work and you are a very gifted person. I will make a donation to you on the 11-20-12 when check gets deposited. I will help you as much as I can each month. Your work is great.
Thank you
Roger
Hi,
I noticed that the painter on avsim “Jürgen Baumbusch” had many 737 AIA püaints where I had experienced CTD, because of the 32Bit textures.
Could that happen with your models too?
Because he makes many repaints for FAIB 737models too, I`m very afraid to download them.
Juergen Includes a DXT3 compressed bitmap with his FS9 paints, use that to avoid getting CTD’s.
you can also use the free DXTBMP utility to convert 32 bit paints to DXT3 and avoid CTD’s.
Another important thing to remember is that the lightmap must also be compresses with DXT3.
