1) SIGN YOUR POSTS. Since 1997, we have asked users to sign their real name, first and last, to all posts in the PMDG forum. We do this in order to keep conversations personal and familiar. You took the time to be here, we want to get to know you. This is one of the few rigid rules that we enforce regularly. We do so because we feel that forums in which users must engage one another personally are generally warmer, more collegial and friendly. Posts that are unsigned will be quietly removed without comment by the moderators, so to make your life easy- we recommend enabling your forum signature so that you never need to remember. Do this by clicking the username pull-down at the top right, then selecting "User Settings." You will find the signature editor on the ACCOUNT tab, about half way down the page. Look for "Edit Post Signature." Be sure to click the "Show Signatures" box.
2) BE NICE. We are all simmers here and no matter our differences of opinion, we share a common love of aviation, computing and simulation. Treat everyone else in the forum with respect even when you disagree. If someone frustrates you, walk away from the conversation or ask for a moderator to get involved. Speaking of Moderators, they prefer not to be treated as "The Thought Police" but if any behavior infringes on the enjoyment of another user or is otherwise considered to be unacceptable in the moderator's judgment, it will be addressed in keeping with our view of ensuring that this forum remains a healthy environment for all simmers.
3) BE LAWFUL: Any behavior that infringes upon the law, such as discussion or solicitation of piracy, threats, intimidation or abuse will be handled unsympathetically by the moderators. Threats and intimidation may, at the moderator's discretion, be provided to law enforcement for handling.
4) BE FACTUAL: When you post, always be factual. Moderators will remove posts that are determined not to be factually accurate.
5) RESPECT COPYRIGHTS: Posting of copyrighted material such as flight manuals owned by Boeing or various airlines is not allowed in this forum. If you have questions related to copyrighted material, please contact a forum moderator for clarification.
6) RESPECT PMDG: We love to hear what you like about our products. We also like to hear what you think can be improved, or what isn't working. Please do tell us and we will always treat your feedback with value. Just be sure to treat the team respectfully, as they do put a significant amount of effort into building and maintaining these great simulation products for you.
7) RESPECT PMDG DEVELOPERS: All of the developers will spend some time here. Given the ratio of developers-to-users, it simply isn't possible for us to answer every post and private message individually. Please know that we do try to read everything, but developer workload is simply too high to manage personal contact with tens-of-thousands of users simultaneously. In most cases, members of the development team will stick to conversations in the forum and will not answer private messages.
8) RESPECT OTHER DEVELOPERS: PMDG has always advocated for a strong development community and we have many friends within this community. Every developer offers something unique that helps to make the simming community larger and more vibrant. We insist that you treat our friends respectfully.
9) RESPECT MODERATORS: Moderators have a tough job, and none of them enjoy having to stomp out negativity. If a moderator has to weigh in to keep a thread peaceful, please respect that effort and refrain from giving the moderator any grief.
10) If you require official support for any of our products please open a support ticket through the support portal, https://support.precisionmanuals.com
11) This forum is designed primarily as a vehicle for the PMDG development team to interact with our customers, and for customers to interact with one another in a manner that is positive, supportive and assists in the general advancement of understanding the simulation and helping to make this and future simulations better. Any other use of this forum is not permitted, including but not limited to discussion of pricing policies, business practices, forum moderating policies, advertising of non-PMDG products, promotion of events, services or products that are not approved in advance by PMDG or any other topic deemed unacceptable by any forum administrator
Depends on the tail number.
Any xxxAK tail number which is the newest 900 ERsdoesn’t have the short field package, they are performance improved LED lights with pulse I believe, new fuel control cut off switches.
4xxAS tails number are ETOPS, SFP, performance improved, some have the new fuel control cutoff switches and LED lights. (I think the changeover occurs somewhere are 480AS not sure exactly which tail number) They all have LED strobe lights some have the halogen landing lights.
The -800s 5xxAS the ETOPS ones are obviously ETOPs, SFP, old fuel cutoff switches, the older 800s have the Honeywell MCP.
The 900s 3xxAS
300-305 no winglets, Honeywell MCP no SFP, non ETOPS, original lights no pulse all have eyebrows.
306 and up a few of the oldest ones have eyebrows and some options as above.
315 and up have same options with no eyebrows.
No range rings
ACCEL HEIGHT 1000 feet.
Then I guess Boeing got it wrong since they're the ones saying the -900ER has the SFP as standard.
With all do respect Kevin I can see the equipment packages on their fleet, as I have access to that information. I just verified that the AKs do not have SFP. In addiction for working for a branch of AAG I have jumpseater on countless Alaska 737s. Just trying to give the highlights for equipment options on the various fleets.

Certainly not trying to dispute your claim since I'm sure you're more knowledgeable in this area than I am, I just find it a little unusual that what Boeing's saying and what Alaska's saying are contradicting each other. In any event, the PMDG 737-900ER doesn't really give you a choice in the matter, either, it gives you the SFP as standard.
I've got the most recent fleet report right here in front of me off our internal FLT OPS site.
All 900ERs in both the 4xxAS and 2xxAK tail number series ARE equipped with the SFP/two position tail skids.
The 4xxAS series are ETOPS, the 2xxAK series are non-ETOPS.
7 of our -800s do NOT have the SFP installed. The remaining 48 -800s do have the SFP/single position tail skid installed. Only 6 of our -800s are none- ETOPS, the rest are all ETOPS equipped.
For our -900s. These are the 3xxAS series tail numbers, none have the SFP installed, and are not ETOPS equipped.
The configuration files that will be available once the new AS liveries are made available, were created using the most recent fleet report and Company 737 Systems Handbook. This includes equipment and display options that match the majority of the AS 900ER and 800 fleet.

That’s strange I just pulled a release for an AK and it didn’t have SFP in the remarks which, the 4xxS always do. I wonder why dispatch wouldn’t include it on the AK releases. If flightops says that’s the config it must be right.

Adam,
All the document ion we have indicate that the 900ER has SFP installed by default from Boeing.
As for the OP. Since it is not possible to have all variations for each livery we used what is common on most of them for our Alaska Liveries hence the verified option
First Alaska 900ER paint I could find for the NGXu! N493AS.
She's not perfect, but I'm glad to flying some ASA metal.
Now she just needs a custom PTP file.

Hey y'all! Alaska Airlines (2016) for the PMDG 737-800NGXu SSW is now available! It's going out to avsim as well so when it's out there I'll edit in the link here. In the meantime, here's a Google Drive link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11C4...ew?usp=sharingimage_4014.png

Would you mind posting your name so we know who did this fine work of art (and it is a forum rule)?
The Collins MCP and ISFD instruments were introduced in 2003 so aircraft older than that will likely still have the Honeywell MCP and analog standby instruments (unless they've been replaced).
Gotta say, that ^^^ looks like a really nice job! If someone's up for a challenge, the "honoring those who serve" liveries are really cool, in addition to expressing a nice sentiment.
