Hello from the UK

[Jake 747 400]

Hey everyone

I'm new to the forum but not completely new to sim building, I started building a 747-400 simulator about 3 years ago now when i was 15, its still very much an ongoing project with not alot of progress to the simulator now as to what it was like in the first year, this is because i have been building a place for the sim to live, now the 'sim-room' is almost done i can resume work on my sim.
I have to MIP and centre ped next i will build the shell, but i also plan to rebuild my glare shield to a better standard and centre ped, but keeping the MIP.

I recognise a few member names from over at the mycockpit forum, and i think the only person I know here is Phil744 (AKA the panel master) and fellow English man.

Just wanted to say hello, theres some awsome sims coming to life here with some great work on display,
very inspiring

Jake

Hi Jake - welcome - you are certainly not alone
Myself  and NeoMorph both hail from UK and not that far apart in the midlands
Maybe we will get a chance to meet up

[NeoMorph]

Yup, me and Mikeh are the British ATR 72 nutters (must be mad with so little support for the aircraft).

Better than those yanks with all their Boeings eh... oh hold on... your 747 is a Boei... err... oh dear!

Never mind me... Just call me "Mr Foot-In-The-Mouth-As-Usual".

Oh and I'm Redditch. And my name isn't Kevin Turvey.

Welcome aboard Jake. You have come to the right place to share this sickness. And John, there is not much support for the B200 either!

[NeoMorph]

Ahh but it's not your first sim Bob. To be honest I think I was a little silly to start off with an ATR 72... Should have started with a Cessna 172 (at least I've actually flown those). I think I planned to do that and just missed out the 1 at the beginning.

True, but even my 73 was almost all self built or making other parts work. I bought very little actual 73 stuff besides when I was building the 73 not 1/4 of what is out there now was available. And there is a pit not too many people know about. Before the 73 I was building a CRJ.
