New member from Holland

[Raymondvanderploeg]

Hi All,

Accidental I've discovered this website, I've already looked into much topics. Lot of people ...with lot's of good advices !

Let me introduce myself, I'm Raymond van der Ploeg, 28 years old and living in an little town called Barneveld in The Netherlands. I'm living together with Samantha my girlfriend.
I'm very active in virtual flying, I'm also member on the IVAO network. I'm even IVAO staffmember on HQ level and also staff member from the IVAO NL division.

Told already to much about myself  ....my sim story so far:
I've take over the static 737 sim (Engravity desktop) from Gert vd Winden(well known builder from Holland and also working at the Aviationmegastore.com) some years ago with an Engravity 737 FMC. The only problem is I bought to much....also an Engravity overhead panel was bought.

BUT the main problem is, to keep everything smoothly in cooperation between all the systems and FS9 or FSX you have to get some good PC's. Like 4 or so.
That's why I i've sold the overheadpanel to Prosim4U.nl they have it now running in their simulator.

At the moment I had to much important cost....new car...new house. So my other hobby was some years  a lower priority, at the moment I'm almost finishing my flightsim PC. So that I can start flying with the panel.
Things in the future: perhaps to make an own cockpit shell and will buy other 737 items such as throttle, overhead etc when there's enough PC capacity. Last week I did get some extra computers...like Pentium 3 PC's to support the Captain and F/O side for the Project Magenta software

Here below you can see the panel....as it should work.


I'm hoping to get much help and advice on this website !

Regards,
Raymond
