Ariane 737-900ER with X2 Service Pack By Don Filer (23 February 2009) Patience is a virtue and I am not a terribly virtuous fellow. I have no previous experience with Ariane, the publisher of this software and have no axe to grind with them. I was very interested in their new Boeing 737-900 product for FSX, not only because it is among the new crop of complex and tremendously realistic flight simulator aircraft but also because I saw a negative comment left by someone who must have had a bad experience with them. So, I started off with a clean slate and mild curiosity about the publisher and their products. Let me begin by stating this is an extraordinary aircraft from both a graphical and performance standpoint. The documentation that comes with the airplane is the best I have yet seen. The flight reference guide is a 40 page (non-printable) PDF file jam packed with detailed information of every switch and function in the cockpit. The flight crew training manual is 117 very readable pages of information right out of Boeing's Operations Manual. Again in a non-printable PDF file. Additionally the training manual includes a tutorial flight taking you from Seattle Tacoma to San Francisco with SIDs and STARs and step-by-step programming of the complete and accurate FMC. Even if you are an experienced commercial pilot, you are strongly encouraged to read the documentation from cover to cover. ![]() While it has been printer disabled, you may purchase the documentation at what the publisher claims is a very reasonable price. Before you get so excited you start drooling, remember I started this off with a comment about patience. After you receive the software and load it onto your computer which by the way, better be robust with lots of speed, RAM, and video processing capability; you must send Ariane an email message with a paragraph of characters copied from the activation request screen. The publisher will respond within 48 hours of your request with an email message and you must copy this into the activation menu to complete the process. I sent my request on December 29th and received my response at 6:55 AM on December 31st. So all I could do was sit in the cockpit and look around until the activation was processed and I could begin setting the switches in the overhead panel to fire things up. This is a very effective way to make sure you read the supplied material and I encourage you to do that. The first time you have the capability of pre-flight operations you will perform a warm start of the flight deck and from time to time you will have to restart the engines. Ariane has made this process easier by adding some dynamic functions to the menu bar. While I'm glowing about their documentation effort, I can't help but point out the tutorial explains how to obtain the correct ILS frequency for runway 28R in San Francisco. ![]() Serial number garritan personal orchestra 5 tutorial for beginners. Unfortunately, the documentation says it's 110.9. If you really follow the instructions however, you will program the correct frequency of 111.7. Since I had plenty of time to burn, I thought I would visit Ariane's user forum to see what other customers had to say. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to logon to the user's forum until you request permission to use the forum; which also requires a waiting period. Once I got to the site and logged on with my approved user name and password, I found that for the most part their customers are very fond of Ariane and its products. On to the business of flying the 737-900 Once activated and depending on your experience in the 737, you will spend some time familiarizing yourself and enabling the overhead panel, IRS panel and the FMC. After getting the power, fuel, and hydraulic settings correct you will be able to start the engines. This can be done with the help of the ground crew via the additional dynamic menus or by pushing a call button from the captain's seat in the overhead panel. The IRS must be aligned and this requires FMC initialization. After that you will have to program the FMC with departure and arrival airports, waypoints, SIDs, STARs, runways, gross weight, temperature, V1, V2, and VR settings.
