I'm probably going to give up on this project. I can't understand why it's not working when none of these issues were present earlier. I haven't even touched the plane, then all of a sudden all this happens. I can't even backtrack because the revert button is horrible.
TThis project is plagued with engine troubles. I spent days trying to tune these engines. I mean, they either go 0 to 500 in half a second but only go 300 mph at 32,000 ft, or there's not enough lift to even remain airborne. Reverse thrust now does the opposite, and I can't pinpoint the problem. The aircraft likes to take off even without any input or throttle; it just takes off when I spawn. It was working just fine this morning; now everything is broken without me touching it, and it's genuinely so frustrating!
Now this is what I call quality! If you thought my previous aircraft was detailed, wait until you see this one, especially inside. I mean, I literally included the window posts and aircraft skeleton.
I think it's important to realize just how important these aircraft are to northern Canada. Airlines like Nolinor operate them out of necessity, and unlike third-world countries that find ways to cut costs and go cheap, Canada preserves, updates, and maintains its aircraft beautifully. Thanks to that, the 737-200 Combi isn't expected to reach retirement until at least 2050. Watching these aircraft take off in deep snow and power through the most remote and hostile environments in the world shows that even old technology can outperform even the most modern aircraft in the world.
@Zero0Two2 the spd40f is a freight locomotive modified for passenger service its nightmare terrible locomotive and besides I do mostly Canadian stuff and Canada never operated them
@Timplanes I fixed it removing all the labels I put on the table trays I realized for every tray there's like 3 layered so probably 200 lables... yikes
This is my first time using custom pictures too, so you'll see it inside my plane. I put a nice big one right on the cargo bulkhead. Some of Canadian North's 737-200s had murals, so I put this one in to reflect that.
I've made no visible changes to the exterior of this aircraft; all changes have been inside. Honestly, I could still add more details, and I would without a doubt, but part count is forcing me to upload what I have. So far, this is the most accurate, most realistic 737-200 on the market, and one of very few planes to have an interior and be properly modeled.
I was unfortunately out of Nunavut by then and haven't had the opportunity to fly a 737-200 Combi since probably 2017. Planes like this exact one, under two main operators (Canadian North & First Air), were my only means of transport. As shown in the video, she now proudly serves under a different airline outside Canada. As of now, Nolinor, a Canadian charter, is the single largest operator of 737-200s (especially Combi variants) in the world.
Also, I've updated the cockpit slightly, adding more dials and larger screens for better visibility. The rest is mostly the same. I also added some "easter eggs"; they should be easy to find. Tell me if you find all three.
This plane would be the last scheduled 737-200 Combi left in Canada. First Air phased all of theirs out during the merger in 2019, leaving Canadian North as the sole operator. Nowadays, you can find these extraordinary aircraft still serving the North for charter by Nolinor and Air Inuit.
The hardest part was honestly trying to get the livery correct. That was a pain, but it's finally done. After considering it for months, I finally did it.
This is a re-upload of my previous version with slight detailing differences to more accurately represent its real-life counterpart.
I spent a fair amount of time fine-tuning this project. I even included the captain's hat in the cockpit (which I really like) and changed the lighting to halogen bulbs, giving it the signature warm, golden glow I once was so familiar with. I hope you enjoy this project just as much as I have. :3
I I am attempting to build a new locomotive, this one for freight (N2 2-8-0 consolidation). I cannot find any blueprints since Canadian Pacific literally destroyed and burned them all. I only found one publicly available.
Update: There are no blueprints anywhere, so the one I have is all there is. I unfortunately have to scrap this project, as the blueprint provided only displays a side profile and not a front profile, so I cannot get the proper dimensions.
CPR D10 Operational Specs (General for D10, D10h, D10j subclasses)
Wheel arrangement: 4-6-0 (Ten-Wheeler) Driver
diameter: ~63 in (varied slightly by subclass)
Cylinders: 20 in × 26 in Boiler pressure: 180 psi
Tractive effort: ~28,000–30,000 lbs Weight on
drivers: approx. 145,000–150,000 lbs Total
engine weight: ~185,000–195,000 lbs Tender
capacity: ~8–10 tons coal; ~5,000–6,000 gal water
Fuel type: Coal (all in service; some later converted for excursions)
Top practical speed: ~50–55 mph (although they were usually used slower)
Primary duties: Branch-line passenger, mixed trains, wayfreight, light secondary mainline work Era: Built 1905–1913 (over 500 total); mainline use into the 1940s, branch-line use into the early 1960s
The D10 was famous for being tough, reliable, and capable everywhere on the CPR system. They were light enough for short bridges and lightly built prairie or maritime branch lines, but strong enough to haul moderate freight and small passenger consists. Crews liked their sure-footedness, minimal maintenance headaches, and good steaming. They became the CPR’s “everywhere locomotive,” commonly handling mixed trains, rural passenger service, commuter trips, and local freights right up to dieselization.
When I say this locomotive is accurate, it is indeed accurate, weighing in at 69,000 to 72,000 lbs with a fuel load of roughly 4,000 gallons. In comparison, my locomotive is identical. This train features a steam whistle (Pitch input) and my standard window lighting (AG-7). This locomotive isn't completely finished, so expect more updates soon enough.

Updated version and hopefully my final iteration of C-FNVK being released shortly
@AirCanadaA330 yes i have deep respect for this nation
@AirCanadaA330 I lived in Nunavut for a few years I used to go to Winnipeg every month
Nothing
Dayum boi dis my best work come
@Boeing727200F check this beauty out
Let's see if this will push me to 7k
rare gold bar :3
Happy holidays people

+1This plane is getting a major revamp. I think it's well-deserved, knowing how significant C-FNVK was to me.
Plans to release a modernized version + full glass cockpit, so stay tuned.

It is here... nolinor 737-200 Combi releasing shortly
@Zero0Two2 the spd40f is a freight locomotive modified for passenger service its nightmare terrible locomotive and besides I do mostly Canadian stuff and Canada never operated them
@idoplaneliveries yea kinda expected not exactly possible to make it "mobile friendly"
Going so well cant wait to see what people will think of this 3 days from now :3
@Timplanes I fixed it removing all the labels I put on the table trays I realized for every tray there's like 3 layered so probably 200 lables... yikes
Up next is perhaps the most iconic 737-200 operator in the world...
Nolinor Aviation!
New problem i cannot load this plane without crashing... I'm gonna have to cut parts
I cannot work on any projects till I do this "emergency patch" that means stuff delayed
This is my first time using custom pictures too, so you'll see it inside my plane. I put a nice big one right on the cargo bulkhead. Some of Canadian North's 737-200s had murals, so I put this one in to reflect that.
Hear me out... egg version...

I am dedicated thats for sure
No, you're not dreaming; that's a genuine interior on a 737-200 Combi. About time someone gave such an iconic plane an interior, anyway.
+1It has been done the first and most detailed passenger cabin on simple planes and it crashed my phone first time i loaded it in so yea...
This gains enough traction I'll consider releasing one with a full interior (including passenger cabin and cargo bay)
Im insane so im making a fully detailed interior and seating may upload depending on how long my sanity lasts
@DickyDuncan Enjoy

+1Come on this is a well built locomotive
I I am attempting to build a new locomotive, this one for freight (N2 2-8-0 consolidation). I cannot find any blueprints since Canadian Pacific literally destroyed and burned them all. I only found one publicly available.
It takes a while before any of my creations really become known. Granted, this is simple PLANES, but still...
If this gains enough traction I'll build ANOTHER locomotive from scratch (CPR N2 Class or something small)
This locomotive is probably my most detailed and accurate one so far
You all have no idea the pain of rescaling hundreds of parts.

Bruh... i accidentally deleted a coach... even more delays
Currently and painfully rescaling every god dam coach so this may take a while... wish this game allowed to rescale objects

My next project is more hudson stuff AND a NEW C.P.R. D10 4-6-0 locomotive
Pure madness
