The free x737 is a well-known Boeing 737 aircraft plugin in X-Plane, and it offers 150 types of liveries. In the latest version 4.7.5, they also support X-Plane 10.20 64-bit, so I updated it to give it a try.

The download link is here. There are two buttons, of course, choose this one: Download the x737project aircraft for X-Plane 10.20b9+, all platforms 32/64bit

After downloading the ZIP file, extract it and move the entire x737_800_BBJ2_XP1020_base directory to Aircraft/Heavy Metal/ in your main directory.

Start X-Plane to take a look. It doesn’t look much different from previous versions. I won’t say much about the features; it has a 2D cockpit (unfortunately, there is no 3D cockpit), and various control surfaces, FMS, CMP, and various lights are all usable. I’m quite satisfied,毕竟 it is a free plugin, so don’t ask for too much.

Let’s take a look at the pictures.
