McPhat Studios Confirms Wilco/feelThere 737 PIC v2

Remember that juicy little tidbit we dropped about McPhat looking for beta testers for one of their partner's products recently?

Well, it turns out that the developer in question is Wilco/feelThere, and they are indeed working on an update to the 737 PIC.  If you want to help beta test it, step on over to McPhat's forums and put the good word in for yourself.

This is really good news.  I liked the 737 PIC, but all the flat textures in the VC were very unrealistic.  While I don't expect something on par with the PMDG 737 NGX in terms of realism, it will be nice to have at least a new refresh of the 737 Classic series.  With airlines like Southwest flying both 737 Classics and 737 NG's, it will be very nice to have flyable versions of both in FSX this year.

Looks like we will have every 737 available to fly the virtual skies before long:

• Captain Sim 737 Captain (737-100/-200) - the original "Baby Boeing" - exterior only right now, but interior in development
• Wilco/feelThere 737 PIC v2 (737-300/-400/-500) - the 737 Classic series (coming soon)
• PMDG 737 NGX (737-600/-700/-800/-900) - -800/-900 available now, -600/-700 and other NG variants coming soon
• iFly 737 NG (737-600/-700/-800/-900) - all four models available now

Exciting times.  Now hopefully soon, we can get some updated Airbuses, too!
