Jskibo 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Been building this 737 on and off for the past three years. Finally dusted it off again and got going. Still need to wire the overhead and get the FO yoke, but its at least flyable now so that should keep me motivated... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jskibo 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Approaching KSTL Costs a bit No reason to use PMDG with hardware cockpits. Use ProSim, Sim Avionics or Project Magenta and make the interfacing a heck of a lot easy than trying to use software designed as a software package with limited hardware functionality. Finally nice to be flying again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pe11e 25 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm jealous man. Fantastic work! Where you placed the cockpit in the house? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jskibo 0 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm jealous man. Fantastic work! Where you placed the cockpit in the house? Well I lost my space in the basement when we built the home theater and bar, so I'm now out in the 3rd bay of the garage. Works well and none of the six kids bother me when I'm out there Now I only wished I ran a beer tapper line from the bar keg to the garage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pe11e 25 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Six kids? You wife must love you and your hobby very much since she want to take care of all the kids while you are flying for hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
