Hi Guys,

As I start to build my 737NG sim project, I am considering types of 737NG seats that might be available.  Any comments on Weber vs. Ipeco, or ny other choices that might be considered? 

Regarding rails:  None vs. straight vs. J-rails?   

Feedback appreciated.

If you are planning to add a back wall, J-rails is the only option otherwise you'll curse the day you were born  :)

I use straight rails because all I have is a black curtain instead of a solid wall and getting in & out is very easy that way (on the left side of seat for captain and right side for F.O.). But I'm sure you will want a backwall so curved rails is the way to go for sure.

Based on my experience, I get in & out of my seat a dozen times before I start the flight because I always need to change something or restart something or adjust something or fix something or other from outside the cockpit and if I had to climb over the pedestal every time, I would have shot myself if I owned a gun  ;D

Hi.  I have a pair of Weber seats available if you're interested.  Please check out the classified sections.
