Title: Hello from Central Florida
Post by: dvst8r on March 12, 2013, 12:26:22 PM
Anyone else in the central Florida area?  I'm currently working on my 737 sim.  Have always wanted to do it, and decided in December to dive in.  So here I am. :)

Welcome!
It's good to see another Florida Simmer jumping in.
I am in South Florida (Delray Beach) and N737AG is close in Weston.
I am slightly beyond the beginning as I have started assembling my MIP from Simworld and making progress.
Are you going full MIP? I only have room for Capt. Side right now but received the full MIP for assy. later. Maybe I'll stop by next trip to see the Mouse!

Yea, I'm going full MIP.  My guestroom is gonna be th sim room. I don't have tons to spend, so I've built most everything myself.  I did buy some hardware like the goflight efis/mcp, I sold one of my pinball machines to get the Jetmax TQ (can't wait to set it up) and thru ebay I was able to snag a set yokes and columns off of N937UA.  I slowy work on it on the weekends since my job takes up the bulk of my day. Slow and steady I'm getting there.

Haha, cool. I'm sure he can do an ILS approach.  Are those yokes off an aircraft too?  My sim looks like a welfare case compared to yours. LOL

Welcome Marv.

I live in the Fort Lauderdale area, so get together's with Craig, Sam and Dan should be no problem.

I will be on the other side, at our Clearwater plant in two weeks.

We make the 737 LCD CDU there.  I keep trying to grab a few but they watch me closely :)

Great idea Axel!
Lets plan a little get together of the FLA Simmers!
Some great knowledge could be exchanged over a cold corona right?
I am slowly making progress and am grateful for your help last week!
I'll post a picture of my meager progress later.

Slow but steady progress. I too have made many things myself such as the yoke, glareshield, glarewing and gear lever to stay on the household accountant's good side. (I love you Vanessa)
( note to Maurice.... I'm still on budget!!!)
Love it!!!! Just need more space but with three kids its a little difficult.

Great work!!! I remember those days because I had my first cockpit made out of wood, this second one is from FDS, We need to get together and meet, believe me we are not too far from each other and I need your expert input in a few bugs I need to work out!!! Cheers, meanwhile I let my copilot do some touch and go.  :)
