Title: 737 Throttle Website
Post by: Trevor Hale on September 18, 2009, 08:12:56 AM
Hey All,

I was trolling the net and I came across this website. (http://www.737throttle.com) I am shocked to see the quality of the photo's.  Very rarely do you find someone who is taking the time to document one particular piece of the cockpit like this.  I would love to see what he ends up with when he is finished. 

Actually as much as I like the FSC Throttle, I would really like to see what these guys  (http://www.revolution-simproducts.com/)have to offer their customers.  I have a feeling theirs may be a lot more robust!

Your thoughts?

Not sure what that first website (http://www.737throttle.com/ (http://www.737throttle.com/)) is all about except someone giving general info about the 737 throttle. From what I could see, I don't think that person has even started anything yet and the pictures he posted are pictures of actual quads and not anything he has done.

Buy as always, I could be wrong :-)

I think you are 100% right Maurice, They are real photo's of a throttle quad.  but for someone to take the time to start a site like this, I would think there is going to be more to it.  Maybe some documentation of the making of or something.

Very bizzare in my mind, but if nothing else, I liked his photos..

It is a useless post isn't it LOL

As far as homebuild throttle quads (or cockpit builds for that matter) goes, you can't beat the quality and workmanship of this guy:

Some of you may already be familiar with his site. It's in French but I ran it throught  Google's translator site so that's why the english may seem a bit funny in places.

Hey guys,

This site is turning out to be pretty detailed.

I think it's a great idea to take one major area of the sim, particularly a complex area as the Throttle Quad, and focus on it for the benefit of the entire sim community.  If he is able to keep this up it should turn out to be a great site.

Give it another look see guys.
