Hello! 

As PMDG released the Cargo expansion for the NGXu I wondered if we will be able to select the 737-800 BCF (Boeing converted freighter) in the VPilot client so that others see us as 737 freighter? 

Thank you!

Does it have a new type code or is it still B738?

I believe they use the normal ICAO code (B737, B738).

Then there's no way to convey the freighter variant to other users on VATSIM. There unfortunately is no standardized/official way of conveying variant information over the network.

If you combine that with the callsign of a known freight carrier, there's an improved chance that other players' model matching will show you as that.
