Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator
Well... it's with a heavy heart that I just unplugged my sim. Time to hang it up for the next 8 months or so while I go off and save the world again.
It's not all bad though... I couldn't resist the price and broke down and bought FSX Gold with the Acceleration pack. I figure, it will soon be a collectors item (along with all the other versions I have since the commodore days). It's currently installing on my laptop and will travel with me to get me through the withdrawals.
I'll still be active in the forums, but won't get a chance to build until I return.

Hey Warren,

Let's keep in touch my friend

Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator
Well,
I went and did it... couldn't resist and after days of self-debate I was able to win myself over and convince myself I had to jump on the opportunity.
So... I bit the bullet and ordered the dual-linked PRO 737NG yoke assembly from ACE (Ali). Now the wait.
I had to finally admit to myself that when said and done, regardless of all the other things that go into a cockpit, at the end of the day, if the flight controls aren't perfect (or as close as possible), everything else is just eye candy (unless you fly autopilot/autoland everywhere).
I could have struggled for months, trying to get it right, or I could have just sucked it up, spent my tax return, and bought a tried and true PRO system from the guy that builds them so well (and get flying faster).
I can't wait! Of course, pics will follow once I receive the system.
Warren

Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator
Congrats Warren,
I have spoken with Ali too, and I have a quotation and more or less the dimensions of the dual PRO yoke. I must say it is a beatiful product and it is ACE !!!! The problem is that one has to buy this first and then create the platform based on the dual linked yokes, but it's worth it
Nice to see you building my friend.
See you in Athens next week,
Nick

Re: Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Simulator
I'm baaaackkk!
Seriously though, I know I've been out of sight for a couple of weeks. I have been checking the boards but since getting home from my annual vacation in Greece, I've been knee deep in a new position at work, as well as around the house. I am Mr. Dad for the next year while my wife takes care of some things back home in Germany so I have been very busy with getting kids off to school, work, and renovations. My father is retiring for the second time and moving in with us in October, so I have lost my Sim room and am busy making room elsewhere.
With all that said... look what just arrived the other day from Nick at APHS:
They are from a DC-9, but they are IPECO's. I should be able to fashion an extension for the front and some rails. The seat/rail mounts angle out, which tells me that the seats slide back at an angle... I didn't know that.
Sadly they are just sitting in my garage right now as I need to start my sim move and rebuild. A couple more weeks to a month and I should have my yokes too.
Warren
