Re: Which 737NG seat ?
Hi Steve/Nick,
You are partly correct, there's two PCs to the left of the MIP and three more behind it.
I agree that real seats are very nice, in fact I had the pleasure of sitting in a real one last weekend at Ian Sissons house. What a nice guy and very knowledgeable too, I learnt a lot, (well what I could remember when I got home). Having an enclosed cockpit makes such a difference.
My own set-up has changed quite a bit since that photo, I've added an overhead frame made from 1" tubular steel, the overhead is completely wired and I hope to have it installed this coming weekend. I've also changed the MCP and EFIS units from Go-Flight to CP Flight Pro versions, They are awesome!
I'll upload some more pics when it's finished, well finished until I enclose it all..... ons step at a time Eh!
Cheers
Joe,

Re: Which 737NG seat ?
hi guys
niko i am at the moment trying to find witch car has the closest look to aircraft seats and because i am a car electro and have my own garage i find the light truck seats are closer that what car seats are but if you like look at witch car or truck seat you like more for you sim and let me know i can find second hand seats for you with a discout of 40% witch i get as a garage because i get parts from the scrap yards all the time and 30% i can help out on new seats if you like
also i have some old seats in my store room trhat i could try to cut the gap were the colume gose and get a frend of mine that has a sowing machine to fix it like new its worth a try and if you like it we can find the seats you whant and fix them both
how dose that sound it will be fun for us
as i am building the a320 and there is no gap on the seat so its easyer for me

Re: Which 737NG seat ?
Hi there to all !!!!!
Spiro I have done the same thing. I think that Mercedes Vito seats are very close to the cockpit style. I also have seen seats from Chrysler combi style cars, which also seem to be close. I could be interested my friend. I will give you a ring today to discuss it and why not, if Steven is interested we could make four 737NG seats and forward them to UK. One for all and all for one !!!
