Hi Guys,
My name is Matt and I'm a long time lurker on here. I've been wanting to build a 'pit for about 7 years now. My inital thoughts were quite humble i.e. maybe use PMDG split across two monitors. Unfortunately I got talking to a good friend, and fellow sim enthusiast, and our ideas escalated somewhat! One thing led to another and we're now in the middle of building a two seat 737NG setup.
I realise the 737 is a well trodden route but we both love the aircraft and thought we'd hopefully benefit from the experience of others as we're both new to this game.
I've included some piccies of the evolution of our beast. It was a long time in the planning but has suddenly started to grow rapidly (consuming much time, effort and money!). Mostly FDS and Cockpitsonic but with other little bits here and there.

That last photo is my favorite. We just took delivery of a Revolution Sim Products motorised throttle quadrant and it is AWESOME! Could literally watch those throttles move backwards and forwards all day long :D
Lots of stuff still to do obviously with the sim, but we're loving the process and looking forward to chatting with everybody here about ideas etc.. (you'll notice we currently have no real outside visual system, that's definatley gonna have to change soon!).
Anyway, that's me. Nice to meet you.
Best regards,
Matt
