Hello all from Germany!

... hey folks --

happy new year, and great to see that forum!

I have been flying around with the FS2 (!) already in the 80s on Apple-Computers (IIe), now still enthusiastic with the FS9 and plenty of addons such as PMDG 738 etc.

A few days ago I bought some new hardware for a better flying experience, and this is why and how I found you - I am completely lost :roll:

Let me share my questions and experiences with you, hopefully I will be able to contribute as much as I will learn from all of you!

Cheers from Germany

Hi there, Welcome to Mycockpit.org.

Yes, . on the Apple IIE, the most basic version of flightsim imaginable....
Been there done that, . my first sim too :)

Welcome on board!!

Welcome WW

What hardware did you buy, and are you still completely lost?

If so, you are good company, coz so are most of us!

Happy New Year to you too.

Sean

@Andrew: thanks!! :D Frankly speaking, FS2 was great as far as the system was concerend; actually I remeber that I've learned all the procedural stuff (ILS, VOR, NDB-navigation) on that very simple system.

And it was monocrome only :D !

Thanks for ur warm welcome!!

Hi wolfi!

Nice to have another German captain on board this forum. What are your plans for cockpitbuilding? Did you decide on the a/c you would like to build already?
Be sure, there´s a wealth of information on the various aspects of cockpitbuilding here from very many friendly people!

Cheers
Chris

Chris -

hello! Actually I am focussing on the 737NG as many others do, too. I am trying to fix my problems with the 3 monitors, and what I've learned today is that the VS works fine - only the 2D cuases further problems. So it might be a good solution to add a TrackIR5-System as per now.

Next step should be the FMC and the MCP ...
