Re: Revolution Simproducts Proline TQ is almsot ready !!!!
Thanks Spiro and Nax for your kind words :)
Spiro next time we fly together I have a small but very important change for you .... The columns are already made and do not move at all, landings are now easier and more succesful than before, and in the next following days I am waiting a second CH Eclipse yoke for the F/O side, which will actually make the F/O side 90% independent and operational !!! When I receive the 2nd yoke I will make few flights only from the F/O side to double check that this is a fact. I am saying 90% and not 100% because the only thing that is missing right now for the F/O is a 2nd CDU which I will purchase (used) sometime in the near future....
Best regards and have a great day,

Re: Revolution Simproducts Proline TQ is almsot ready !!!!
Upgraded to PM 486 version, a 2nd CDU is now installed, a 2nd CH Eclipse yoke is also installed, so the F/O side is 100% operative !!!

Hey Nick,
nice video. Love the cabin layout (which can be seen when the camera points to the back). A typical BBJ as far as I can tell. 8)

Re: Revolution Simproducts Proline TQ is almsot ready !!!!
Hi to all,
Long time to post here. Unfortunately family issues kept me away from this hobby...
Recently my server crashed and the only way to go on was to upgrade. So a new i7 with 12 GBs of RAM is now purchased. My aim was to upgrade to FSX instead of FS9.
Good news first...
The difference in visuals is like the difference between day and night.... It really is surprising to see the external visuals at 50 fps with almost all graphics settings in 80%... No addon sceneries, no addon textures, no weather or cloud addons, nothing, just raw FSX, and the outcome is unbeleivable !!!!!
On the other hand I have many unsolved issues. You see the problem is that FS9 has many modules, scripts, and in general many solutions for our too expensive hardware modules, so there is always a way to fix things in FS9. On the contrary FSX is not the prefered platform for the hardware and software home cockpits developers so there is a gap of knowledge out there.
Did you know that the stock B737-800 in FSX does not have taxi lights ? At least mine does not... I lost 3 hours to realize that, playing around with a switch, a leo bodnard card and FSUIPC....
Did you know that the Xponder of the CPflight module cannot set the mode to Charlie or Standby, like it used to do in FS9 ? Actually it seems that this is not a CPflight issue, just an issue of SB4.....
2 or 3 more issues like the above still are unsolved, but then again wasn't it like this after my first installation of FS9 years back ?
I will try to record a short video again and show you the difference.
Regards,
Nick

Re: Revolution Simproducts Proline TQ is almsot ready !!!!
Thanks :)
This week wife and kids are on the mountains for holidays, They all just left... This year, due to special business factors, it will be very difficult to follow them around... so I am home alone for 6 days !!!!!
So tonight, I found the time to install REX environment for FSX... I must admit, I cannot see a huge difference, as I did when I was in FS9, but still there is a long way to go, as far as tweaking is concerned ;)
This week hopefully, the weber seats will arrive, so I will post few pics with those guys too...
:)

Re: Nick1150 Home Cockpit 737NG project in Athens
Unfortunately my F/O CDU never worked since the beggining, that I bought it used. I suspected that from day one, but I didn't pay too much attention. Few weeks ago it started blinking !!!! :p I recorded a video and send it to both engravity and project magenta, for advise. I even switched the cables between CPT & F/O just to see it was a software issue... It wasn't. Definately a hardware issue. My RCDU now is waiting is on its way to engravity to be fixed. Soon hopefully, it will arrive as new :D

Re: Nick1150 Home Cockpit 737NG project in Athens
So now my project looks like a cockpit ;-)
Look what arrived in my garage door yesterday :
http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/u...t/IMG_0211.jpg
I have to admit, even though that in the beggining I was afraid of the opposite, that Aircraftseats24.com gave me an EXCELENT service and I would definately purchase from those guys again. Both Weber seats move in the push of a button as they should, the fabrics are in an acceptable condition, and I am happy with my purchase.

Re: Nick1150 Home Cockpit 737NG project in Athens
After un screwing the bolts from the pallets I had to move the seats to the elevator and 4 floors up. It was a difficult day for me in the office, and I was very tired, so whenever the body cannot follow the mind invents.....
I just moved each seat on a skateboard... easy :-P

Re: Nick1150 Home Cockpit 737NG project in Athens
It was too late to screw them on my base... I have to do that tommorow, too tired to fly anyway....
Hope you liked them. My sim now looks like a sim. The kitchen chairs were spoiling the image of my project. Now I feel better.
My aim from now on is :
1) A new cockpit base in order to fit the following,
2) Two seat rails for the weber seats,
3) A dual linked yoke system,
4) A dual linked rudder petal system,
5) A 737 shell with interior liners,
6) And finally 3 projector with the appropriate software and screen....
Of course that will happen slowly, and given the circumstances one thing at a time, so stay tuned....
Regards,
Nick from Athens

Hi Anderson,
The sound folder is the FS9 PMDG 737-800 folder as it was in the FS9 I used to fly. I find this sound package friendly and good enough for me. I have tweaked the spoiler and flaps sounds though.

And a usual approach in the Greek islands... LGSR (Santorini island) RW34R 99% of the times till 1000ft there are cross winds of 35 to 55 knots. Below 1000ft the mountain on the left is used as a shield and things get better ;)
