ARIANE Unveils Newest VERSION 3 Boeing 737-900 ER

SEATTLE, Aug. 08, 2006 -- Boeing marked a major first milestone last week as the company unveiled the newest 737 family member, the new 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplane before thousands of employees and guests at the company's Renton, Washington, manufacturing facility.

Ariane reached its own milestone by announcing the first preview version of both an FS2004 aircraft ready to fly in FS2004 with the same aircraft flight tested in FSX a week after Boeing unveiled the real airplane!

Ariane's latest version forms part of the new ADVANCED SERIES label being developed 'WHILE YOU FLY' for Microsoft's new FSX version.

Why wait for 2007? Flight test it today!
The first 737-900 ER will be delivered to Lion Air in the first half of 2007, following a five-month flight test program which will include two flight test airplanes. Virtual pilots can fly those same flight tests today.

Thanks to Ariane's close co-operation and its close working relationship with its Boeing Ng engineers and Ng pilots, you can fly this cutting-edge technology today and see all the new effects and experience them all as you fly the new Boeing 737-90 ER from Jakarta as well as being the first to test fly the airplane all over the world!

New Cabin - New Arrangement.
Step into the new color cabin fitted out in Boeing's latest BCA (Dreamliner Type) colors; (specially designed in very high definition, photo-real HDX as part of new development work on the forthcoming 64 bit design and texture for FSX).

Note that there are no longer any 'eyebrow windows' and that the panels above you have been filled and the layout different and welcoming.

You will be able to manage the new ER AUX fuel system as well as experience the key features of the extended and revised ER overhead panel. The effect of the new ER overhead is nothing short of stunning!

The new 737-900ER incorporates a host of many new design features, many of which were to be included in the launch plans for FSX later this December but have now been brought forward to give all users a preview of what's coming in FSX!

Buy now and be ready to fly tomorrow!

(Does it fly in FSX? Yes it does. Although the flight deck will be subject to a minor upgrade, the aircraft flies in FSX 'straight out the box'

New Design. New Features. New Effects.
The newest derivative design (as with the real one) incorporates an additional pair of exit doors, a flat rear pressure bulkhead (a re-design of the points system was nevessary to provide less points and provide more detail and a few more FPS), aerodynamic and structural design changes enhance low-speed and cruise performance (so a new FDx has been introduced into the new 'ER' Series to allow faster, further flights).

Other changes include strengthened wings, a two-position tailskid (which is animated in the simulated version and extends in the last 4 stages of flap and gear deployment), enhancements to the leading and trailing-edge flap systems (which improve take off and approach performance), and optional Blended Winglets and auxiliary fuel tanks (with the accompanying enhancements being featured on the newly-modeled and HDX textured flight deck). The new, aerodynamically superior design will allow the 737-900ER to accommodate higher takeoff weights and increase its range to 3,200 nautical miles (5,900 km). As with the real thing, simulation pilots can fly the same ranges and achieve the same performance with the new 'FSX preview version'.

The 737-900ER is the same size as the 737-900, but can carry 26 additional passengers in a one-class configuration. At 138 ft. 2 in. long, the twin-engine jet incorporates a new pair of exit doors and a flat rear-pressure bulkhead that allows a maximum capacity of 215 passengers in a single-class layout.

Looking at the new version, the first thing pilots will notice is the very high standard of detail in areas such as the windows, animated ports and other areas many modelers have left out. Outlet pressure valves at the back of the aircraft model even feature both valves and detail right down to every letter of the warning labels! Every warning and information label we have included includes lettering in substantial detail! You can now asses what goes on around inlet areas and see the edges of door handles and windows, rivets and screws, lights and hammers and cargo door engineering.Another FIRST from Ariane!

The 737-900ER will have substantial economic advantages over competing models including 9 percent lower operating costs per trip and 7 percent lower operating costs per seat than the A321 which is more than 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg) heavier. The 737-900ER joins the 737-600, -700 and -800 airplanes and will share the same industry-leading reliability of the other Next-Generation 737 series models.

Ariane is already world-famous with hundreds of real pilots now using its advanced series to train for their 737 Ng rating, the world over.

Many professional people fly at the cutting edge as well as real Ng and Pg pilots who use our work to keep themselves current. We design for the discerning and training professional.

Powered by CFM International CFM56-7B turbofan engines, the new derivative will have substantial economic advantages over the competing A321 including 9 percent lower operating costs per trip and 7 percent lower operating costs per seat (Data Source: Boeing Media News Feed). Our version also features the sort of cutting edge technology you expect from the world's most advanced and highly detailed aircraft. Accurate performing engines, rated and parred to the exact same specifications as the real CFM engines.

A huge host of features will accompany the new aircraft and include:

• TWO AIRCRAFT

• Standard 800 and 800 with Blended Winglets

• New V3 Systems and Logic

• New MCP COmmand Manager

• EFIS and PFD ND Options

• new Updated Boeing Operations and Flight Ref Manuals

• Fast access 2Di dynamic panel and view system with auto jump feature

• Three types of push back tugs that you drive and control

• TWO GPU 'on-call' for powering up in outer parking zones, Rain-wash wipe systems

• Animated icing effects

• Opening, speed restricted, flight deck windows

• Digital ISFD back-up gauges

• Editable SELCAL panels

• Sheer vortex & flap wake vortice effects controls controlled according to weather and gear and flap setting

• Turbine blade wind effects which naturally spin blades when static-parked and freewheeling in wind.

• Rudders that respond to wind settings

• World-famous hydraulic suspension, cross linked systems

• switching including independent electrical and hydraulic systems and safety systems

We were proud to show off the new version of our Ng Development at the recent IFC Denver Show in the USA to the MS FSX development Team who were in awe over our high standards and special effects - we dedicate this release to all of the team and would like to thank them all for the hard work they are doing for all of us on FSX - good luck everyone)!
