The Boeing 737 MAX

The Boeing 737 MAX is a new family of Boeing 737. It is made by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. These airplanes replaced the Boeing 737 Next Generation family. It is the fourth family of 737. The biggest change is the engines. The 737 MAX has new, better CFM International LEAP-1B engines. The outside of the plane also got changes. The very first 737 MAX was delivered in 2017, 50 years after the first Boeing 737 took off. Boeing had 4,166 orders for the 737 MAX as of September 2022. Larger and smaller versions have different capacity and range.

After two fatal crashes of MAX 8 aircraft in October 2018 and March 2019, regulatory authorities around the world ordered airlines to stop using MAX 8 and MAX 9 airplanes until the reason for the crashes is found. Boeing stopped making them for a few months in early 2020, and resumed at a slow rate. Various regulatory authorities authorized a return to service in December 2020 and January 2021.


About the "Lo-Fi"...

I thought It'd be nice to have a simple version that the more casual players could just fly around for fun.

I think most people who play SP aren't looking for startup procedures, cockpits, systems etc. In all honesty, this is mostly for my own entertainment. Hence, I figured it'd be a good Idea to upload lower part, low fidelity versions for the people who don't want to go through all that and would rather just load up and fly around


Key Differences:
No Mods
No Startup sequences
No Autopilots
No Pilot models
No Interior
No Walker
Barren Cockpits (or no cockpit at all in some cases)
