Hi all,
I was wondering what to call this thread as it feels like I have lost an old friend! "Death of a sim" was one title that crossed my mind. I'll try to remain focussed on the term "Rebirth" and not "the destruction of my sim"! My B737 simulator had to be dismantled last weekend, I have rented out the house it was in and the house had to be emptied. I removed each component and then with a shaky hand and a Stanley trimmer, I cut away weeks and weeks of wiring and it had been a moment I had been dreading but it is done now and again I have no simulator :(. It has to go into storage again until I have moved into my new home. I have planned the simulator's rebuild for a while and it will begin after my trip to the UK. Hopefully I will be able to rebuild the sim and still take customer orders but I might have to put Aerosim on hold for a few months. I have bought a home with a fantastic powered workshop that is big enough to house the sim and my Aerosim Solutions work so it will be very easy to work on, I just have to install a kitchen and sleeping quarters!!!
My sim will be reborn with a new MIP that is ready, Console, The first Aerosim B737 TQ, Overhead, 2 x FDS FMCs, FDS SYS1X interface and FDS/Sim Avionics. The brains of my sim will be all Flightdeck Solutions with the exception of the CP Flight MCP and EFIS which will remain. I will rebuild the rudders and move them and the seats outwards to allow for a full scale centre pedestal. It will be rebuilt with a much higher degree of accuracy and I will document progress in this thread....the story begins...
Cheers Gwyn
