"When FSX is released, we will be offering a FOC update for the 900 ER to all loyal users. This is seen as a way to say thanks to all of Microsoft Flight Simulator's users and also to say thanks to those who have supported Ariane's Ng program. We hope it also shows our commitment to those who support us in our work in bringing the best, cutting edge technology to the desktop."
The first BASE PACK is now available for download from our new 900ER product section and has been structured into six, EZ manageable files for everyone to be able to have the opportunity to download; whether using fast broadband access or slower, 56k modem.
Later this week we will release the FLeet Pack and the Boxed Sets as well as the Expansions.
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 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 in its new Lion color scheme 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 'Dreamliner' 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. Although our 3d detail on our overhead is known to be legendary, 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!
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' - it flies very well in the FSX Beta!
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 v-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!
