Threshold Exclusive: Ultimate 737-700 Preview Thread

We're less than 24 hours out from the release on the hugely anticipated 737-700 by the Ultimate Project, so what better a time to have a look at the aircraft in detail!

The makers of the Zibo 737-800 and subsequent Ultimate 737-900 have given Threshold exclusive access to the aircraft in preparation for release, so let's dive right in.

The feature set of the -700 is very similar to that of the -800 and -900's that came before it, with systems from the latest Zibo Mod release.

The tentative feature list is available here:

  • For all systems related updates - these are the same as in the 737-800X.
  • Many subtle and a few less subtle changes to sounds, also specifically edited for the 737-700 (e.g. liftoff, engine, on/off-load, behind wingbox), exterior/far/flyby/buzz
  • completely new textures for the whole main panel (fwd instrument panel), throttle quadrant, trim wheels, new FMC, overhead 2 incl. full PBR - correction of right tiller
  • smaller edits to cockpit textures / PBR (e.g. first aid kit)
  • new fuselage textures, new fuselage PBR, new paint-kit (not finished nor published yet)
  • edited wing & winglet PBR and textures incl. a few corrections (leading edge)
  • changed MCP displays to old-style orange
  • added liveries: SAS, United, Delta (with and without belly logo), SWA, TUI (Belgium & Germany)
  • added ASU model & sounds
  • added new decals on fuselage (apu drain, water drain)

As can be seen in some of the screenshots, more 3rd party liveries will become available on release - namely an Alaska livery, courtesy of KJO, and additional Southwest liveries, courtesy of our very own Jordan Davison (Jviation).
