A few days ago, aircraft developer iFly released a brand new “Texture Pak” for their popular 737NG aicraft. The new set of textures for the virtual cockpit and beyond enhance the quality of the resolution found in the product. Further to increasing the resolution of the textures, work has been done to improve the realism of the fonts found on the overhead panel and other areas of improvement.
Further to that, HD textures have been applied to the exterior of the aircraft, a GPU had been modelled and a pair of new liveries have been included. Of course, those who wish to keep the standard texture resolution the same as it is today, can change this via the configuration tool. For the painters, they can take full advantage of the new HD visuals via the brand new paint-kit.
It’s important to note that the texture set only supports version 3.2.3 of the 737NG and no support for the texture set will be given for users on FSX or P3Dv3 or less. It’s reccomended that only P3Dv4 users use the set due to the 64-bit nature of the simulator.
The update and information about it can be found via the iFly forums.
Late last year, the team announced they are working on a 737 Max series of aircraft for Prepar3D V4. No further news on that aircraft has been revealed at this time.
Thanks to reader Greg and Jeff for pointing this out to us.
