737NG Photo Update

[ChrisKLAS]

Hi Everyone!

Glad to finally be a member here at the new CockpitBuilders.Com. I thought I'd start off with a pic of my sim as it's laid out currently.

Finally, it's really starting to come together... at least to the point that by getting a little creative with the camera angle, it almost looks a bit real (save for the mouse and keyboard on the glareshield)!

This image shows AS81 enroute from Seattle to Sitka, Alaska.

The latest addition is the beautiful forward overhead panel from SISMO in Spain. What a piece of machinery! Every switch fully functional, fully interfaced, with 10bit servos powering all the "steam gauges." I'm still working to interface the servo card, which is why, for example, the cabin temp is indicating zero... brrrrrr!

The MIP and shell are from FDS, yokes from ACE, TQ from FSC, MCP/EFIS from CPFlight, and overhead as mentioned from SISMO. Software is PM running on a network of 6 PCs (some powerful, some "not"). Exterior visuals powered by a TH2GO mapped over three projectors onto a 24' curved hardboard screen. EVERYTHING ultimately powered by the good ole standard, stable as a rock FS9!

Hope you enjoy the photo!

Very nice shot there

Welcome here
You seem to have a nice view out of your windows. Your setup is looking very good. Hope you manage to solve your temperature. It is getting colder and colder as we progress against winter

Hey Chris,

Fantastic Picture.  I am glad you can show us.  Hopefully you can post more.  I am sure you are pleased with your sim thus far.  It shows!

How long have you been working on your project?  Hopefully you can get the Gauges indicating the correct temps, 0 is quite cold indeed

That's a very nice project. Looks great!

We have quite the fleet of 737's here.

Using the stock PMDG 737-700 model with alterations made for more realistic breakaway/taxi thrust. Love it!
