Builder from North-Germany

[B737-HH]

Hi folks,
I would like to say hello to everybody. My name is Jan and I´m a cockpitbulider since 2004. Some of you maybe know me from mycockpit.org. I started 1995 with flightsimulation and was  first very active in the VATSIM scene, specialy in founding the VACC SAG (Switzerland, Austria and Germany) After being the chief for 3 years and then a normal C1 Controller I started to build my first homecockpit. Last year first parts get broken and I was thinking of changing my hobby to play more golf ;-). But after 3 month, after selling nearly all my parts, I started my new project. As I do not have the time to build everything on my own again, I bought all parts from FDS and SIMRev. For the software I use PM and ThomasRichter special programing. He was last week for two days in my SIM and set up a new logic for the overhead and for the EICAS. I am very happy and proud of his job :-) Some of my friends from VATSIM Germany (BREMEN FIR) helped my and our plan is to take part of the worldflight this year. At the moment I am having holidays in denmark with my family and will return in end of July to start our preperations for the worldflight 2011. We need more practise in teamwork/flightdeckcoordination. We will also have some activ ATP pilots in our team. But more infos you will find on our facebook site www.facebook.de/homecockpit or later on www.worldflightteam.de .... so please stay tuned if you like, and sorry for my english.
Always three greens
Jan

Hi Nat,
what infos you need?
I have asked Tobi to give us some more infos about the IRS panel.
He wrote the little program. I think he would share his code.
Let's see,

Welcome Jan. Very nice project you have there. What are those sweats out of?

You mean the seats ? With the red cushions ?
If so, they might have come out of an AWACS 707. At least the 2 that i have came out of an AWACS that was upgraded.

Yes I am talking about the 2 red seats..... Not the sweats.....

Hi,
here is the info about the IRS panel.

Ask if you have more questions.
And yes, the seats comes out of an old NATO 707 :-) And I use the rails from Rev SIM.
I had to make some adjustments to use them.
But if I would find 737 crewseats, I would change to them.
