Title: Well it lives!
Post by: Bob Reed on January 11, 2010, 09:34:43 AM
After over a year of sitting idle... The 737 lives! After watching Gene's live broadcast of him working on his project for 2 days I did it... My MIP nad MCP are dug out and slowly comming back to life. No idea how the code got yaked for my Epic but I will work on fixing that today. By tomorrow night I may even get to go on a test flight! Now, what to do about a CDU.....

Well today I am going to work on putting the gear lever that Gwyn made for me. Have to make a few modifications but this is going to be nice!

good man bob,
no point in having a sim if you're not going to fly it.
Trev said he couldn't wait to see the pics, me too (do you think we should tell him there's no ; in can't  ;D )
cheers ... ian

Well as of right now it is not pic worthy but maybe I will take a couple of it in it's  current condition as I have non of it from before seems I left them at another site. So I am starting from scratch as far a pictures go. I may have to re do a lot of my EPIC code as well. YAK!!! Oh well I am building again. Last night I spent a number of hours fixing a mistake someone made by knocking the MIP to the floor. Lots of wires to fix. But almost done, with that..... More to come.
