New 737 simmer

[Westozy]

Welcome to mycockpit.org jaymo,

737's are the easiest build because of the availability of hardware. I would avoid a real shell for sure. Check out my 737 which can be dismantled and loaded for transport within 30 minutes. So my advice is to keep it simple as possible to avoid some of the frustrations we all encounter.

My 2 cents!

His sim will be ready for transport in 30 minutes, but it will take him 2 hours to set it up again....

Right Gwyn.

Stay away from the Kangaroo pee (fosters)

hi,and welcome to the dark side,??!!!!!! my own veiw is that a real deck although hard work is very well worth it,if ;you go that route lots of us can help with the problems you will come up against,,and doing your preflight checks on a real deck with real panels ect is very nice,but then some of the pits i see on my cockpit are amazing and sometimes i cant tell the difference between made and real ,
keep up the good work and you will be rewarded,
where you from,?
cheers my boy,

Errrrrrrrrrrr wrong, it goes back together just as quick, multipin plugs everywhere. Pop over and have a look Trev, I taught McGyver everything he knows!

ROFL Gwyn... Sure... Sure.. If everything works that good, thats incredible. I am sure if I disconnected my pit and tried to move it, It would never work again .

I can see both sides of the coin, keeping it simple ( like westozy) or get that immersed feeling all around you (like aviaparts and trevor)..Hmmmm

More food for thought....

What's tempting as heck is that there are some real cockpits available around town here right now, very convenient..A 737-200 and a 727-200...the 727 is cheaper, and has a flight engineer's area ( turn that into a flight instructor's area?..Hmmm....

More food for thought # 2......Stay tuned...

By the way a 737 and 727 cockpit are almost indeintacal...... Might want to keep that in mind....

[ekezz]

hmmm, Bob, minor detail, there are three engines to a 727
ofcourse you know that

[Michael Carter]

I know I know it.

But the cockpit structure does not care if it has 3 engines or 2! They are pretty much the same insdie. It will only matter if the 727 comes with a quad and then if it is cheap enough, who cares!
