Project Opensky 737-600
review
The Boeing 737 is a popular medium-range, narrow body commercial passenger jet aircraft. The Boeing 737-600 is the smallest member of the Next Generation 737 family and was launched in 1995 as a replacement of the 737-500. Many new improvements like more fuel efficient CFM56-7 turbofan engines, increased wingspan, increased fuel capacity, higher MTOW, redesigned vertical stabilizer and glass cockpit with modern avionics are standard on all Next Generation 737s.
Project Opensky, is a freeware aircraft developer group that has been around for some time. They developed many aircraft models for FS2002 and FS2004, mostly Boeing aircraft. Their Boeing 737-600 is a highly detailed representation of its real world counterpart. A few of the features are: Realistic flight dynamics, many high quality liveries, special animations like a moving pushback truck and airstairs, realistic gear suspension, advanced lift based flexing wings, and more.
Later after the aircraft was released, project open sky also released a detailed soundpack for their 737NG series, it is on their site. The sounds sounds nice and it is detailed, interior and exterior.

notes
"As of December 2007, Project Opensky no longer supplies or supports files for the 737NG panel and virtual cockpits. Reason being is the creator of the files has left Project Opensky to form his own payware company, and at his request, all files have been removed and support for those files has been suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have on your flight sim experience."
IMPORTANT
When you have download one of the Posky Boeing 737-600 aircraft, make sure you go to the panel folder and open the panel.cfg file with notepad. Remove all text and replace it with:
[fltsim]
alias=b737_400\panel
Save the file. For FSX users, use this alias:
[fltsim]
alias=B737_800\panel
You need to do this because the majority of the Posky 737-600 aircraft use a temporally panel.cfg file that points to a image with the note to download the panel files from their website. Since those files are no longer available, it serves no purpose anymore. So thats why you need to use one of the default panels. If you wish, you can always download a 3th party panel and use it for this aircraft.
