late intro

[jackpilot]

Well Tim said no exceptions (some remnants of FlyByWire mentality, hey?)  so I will gracefully comply.
Of course most builders have seen my posts elsewhere and I am the same person..guaranteed.
My 737 NG is taking shape. All hardware done except yokes and pedals, Shell and liners come in next week..will be busy with interfacing this winter. 95% FDS.
Lets have fun in this new home
Best regards.

BTW I am pleasantly surprise to meet here many persons I know since a very long time as precursors in the cockpit construction domain! Both of you Tim, Jackpilots, Trevor, Ivar, Bob, Tomlin, Bryssidave and many more. These are very active builders that I know one way or an other since the beginning of my project.
So a big HELLO to all of you there

[Boeing Skunk Works]

Uh, Phil you can't upload direct from your drive unless it's in the photo gallery.

[philb737]

Sorry, 2nd take!!!

[jackpilot]

I told you guys!!  Phil's sim is really amazing and probably one of the closest to the original beast in its appearance and working systems.
Keep sending us pics Phil, (visuals?)

Cheers

Awesome cockpit Phil! Just like being there.

What's all them TV screens fer? 

[philb737]

Thank you guys!
I will pull out one rabbit at a time  ,so stay tuned for the visual.
TV's are for the wife so she can see her favorite show while I'm flying!

[Boeing Skunk Works]

You could watch six shows at a time! Or six football games.

[ivar hestnes]

WOW WOW WOW

Phil!!!!!!!!!!

It looks just like a real aircraft. It is unbelievable. I love it. These shots tell the story very good. You have invested a serious amount of time and money on this. Very impressive. I am almost speechless.

Cant wait for more shots.

You are a kind man also. Let your wife watch TV when you fly. Not bad at all. I thought the wifes mostly were running between the sim and printer with charts and weather reports (Hope Tracy dont read this)

Dude, you are a brave brave man.. LOL   

[philb737]

Thank you Ivar!!!
You're my inspiration. Just following your footsteps! I just installed the second stick shaker it works like a charm.  
Best regards
Phil

[ivar hestnes]

Stick shakers!!!!

Then you are way ahead of me buddy

Thats the really good about the 737. It is a endless project Always something to add. Whats the story about your interior buddy? It looks very real. I guess lots of it are real stuff

[philb737]

 As you know lots of work!!! Interior is from Aerodeck(RIP) 85% real stuff.

[ivar hestnes]

ahh, you are one of the lucky few that got the parts

They sure look good. Too bad they were not serious to all their customers. Looks like high quality items.

85% real stuff. Man, that is awesome. You got most of it working also? Bet that is a lot of work. Easier with aftermarket parts for sure.

[Boeing Skunk Works]

Aerodeck had a good thing going if they could have followed through.

I thought about offering to mod real equipment for simulator installation, but there are so many different ways of wirin g this stuff it's pretty impractical from a reverse engineering standpoint.

Maybe that's what got them.
