Title: A full flight video of the 737-200 Sim in action
Post by: 727737Nut on January 26, 2015, 02:12:14 PM
Had my son Zach do a short hop in the awesome FlyJSim732  while I filmed it. Tons of work to do but we are having a blast flying it.  So far it's holding up to daily flying and believe it or not, no major hiccups  Knock on wood! lol    This year focus is on MIP and Overhead.  Next year will be FDS shell and real controls.  Then mutiple TV's like many others are doing.   FYI, for those using or thinking of using real parts, I found a source for cheap TRUE sine wave 400Hz power.  Trying to get a groupon going for us sim folks.

Hi Rob,

That is looking great! It really is a whole different world to just banging in some LCDs, that's for sure. Lol, us NG folks really do have it easy.

Would be interested in a 400 hz supply, so look forward to hearing more details on those. I have been looking everywhere and have had no luck, well, except at ridiculous prices! Stupidly enough, I didn't think to ask here about them.

Cheers,
Karl

Wow, beautiful. I'm not generally an airliner fan but it's great to see one with good old-fashioned instruments! My only comment would the be the obvious, that the display lets it down a bit. But I guess it's a work in progress and for all I know you have a bunch of projectors in the mail already ;)
