    Which measurement do you mean? Keep in mind that my MIP and glareshield are homebuilt, from scratch using the measurements found online (the usual stuff).

    Here's what I have:



    30.48cm from MIP to lower edge of glareshield



    8.41cm from MCP face to top edge of glareshield.







    I can give you more, to an extent... I'm in the process of disassembly right now, so it's a mess.

    Hope this helps.

    Oh... 15 degree slope in the glareshield is what I used

    Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator

    Check out what the mailman brought me today!

    First I got this box from some company named FDS... it had this inside:



    I started shopping for knobs and ended up with all this. Peter sucked me in Still got my knobs though.


    The other package was from Poland... a company called... SimWorld! It contained this:



    I started shopping for Annunciators and bought the MCP on a whim as at that time I still hadn't found a second CPFlight EFIS. I decided I would CNC two EFIS to match this MCP. I may still do that just to use this MCP... the quality is OUTSTANDING. This is easily one of the best quality panels I have seen, and the sub-80 Euro price was unbeatable. Kudos to SimWorld. Here's a couple of closeups.




  6. Thanks bas_v thanked for this post

    Fantastic Build.! Great pictures. What degree of slope did you use for the CDU bay? Front and back. Thanks and keep up the great work. Looks awesome.

    CDU bay should have appr. 30 degree slope (from horizontal). Go to www.markuspilot.com and download the PDF there. LOADS of measurements!

    Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator

    Correct...

    I am using 30 degrees from the horizontal, then 90 degrees from that to the floor.

    I used the same references that Vidarf is referring to.

    Thanks for the kind comments! It has been an odyssey to get to this point.

    Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator

    Thanks for the detailed pics of the Simworld MCP panel. I have been looking at that panel.

    Are you meant to dismount the front panel and install the rotary encoders on the main panel, after which you would mount the front panel again?
