Ok 737 Vets...
I only need one more component right now to satisfy my immediate purchase needs for my sim and that is a TQ. Looking at the choices out there there are not many. I was looking at the FSC Non-Motorized one as an option as it seems to be a good price. Specs say the Trim wheels are fixed but I am sure they are modifyable. Wondering if anyone has one of these and any thoughts. Are there others I should check out? Anyone selling one?
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Scott,
have you seen this one:

In my opinion the most advanced affordable solution!

hi scott.......
i have a symulatory TQ right now, but i was very interested in the Revolution motorised TQ that i went to paris to see it for myself. i was smitten, one will be arriving here in about 10 days. the FSC unit is actually made by symulatory.
Revolution do a standard version as well. it's exactly the same as the auto unit except no auto's. runs via a Bodnar card. priced at 650 euro's at present. i think this is a special offer and i'm sure they told me normal price will be 750 euro's afterwards.
why not hang fire until i get mine. because you know i'll really put it thru it's paces and give it an honest appraisal.

Thanks Ian,
Yes, I have been looking at this new one and have been enquiring. I just got a reply yesterday that they can added movable trim wheel (useable but non motorized) as well as upgrade to backlightable face plate on the non-motorized version for a few hundred euros more. I am very tempted on this. I would also definitely like to take advantage of their discount deal prior to FS Weekend (which I wish I could go to). Anyway, i look forward to hearing more about yours when you get it and from them. I would love to get the motorized version but I am already starting to stretch my initial build dollars thin... I think I would be very happy with their non-motorized version as well.
Regards,
Scott
PS - thank you for the other file again
Oh brother.
I made the HUGE mistake of watching the Revolution video and now am really in trouble. I was going to be very happy with a nice 737 looking throttle so was very much interested in the non-motorized version. But now that I saw the video..... :o
;D ;D ;D and you only watched the video.......
i actually went there, can you imagine how i felt...... ;D ;D ;D
i'll get mine shortly, so will report as soon as afterwards.....
rgds ... ian
Well...
Apparently the early discount deal is over and I missed the boat so now there is certainly nothing to make me rush on this. Will await your review Ian. I am also really curious to see if Sim-Avionics will support it as that is the package I have (which I believe you were looking at). Can't wait to see what you think.
I will say this about them..despite being extremely busy with orders they are super prompt at responding with answers to questions. Great presales customer service!
Scott
I am a customer within the next months too!
Just waiting for Project Magenta compatibility ... then my order goes out to Paris! ;D
Hey Scott,
Remember this "It's like the kid with the Sears Wish Book at Christmas" syndrome all over again.
I can sit for hours and look at all the flight sim products I would like to have!
