Hi Will,
I am in Almere. Not really down South but Holland is such a tiny country :)
Hi there,
welcome to the mad club... :-) If you are from the south west of holland you should be pretty near to me to . I am living about 10km from the dutch border, south of Sluis.
But what am I talking about... I'm building a plane, hmm I mean an airbus.... :-) :-)
Anyway if you need to know something not 737 specific, I am always willing to help out. Also have some friend building a 737.

Hi there, Which Airbus are you building? I don;t really like the Airbus *except* for the A300B and the 330. I flew iN all of the SAA A300's when they were still in service, . man is that an awesome aircraft!!
I have a good mate who lives in Gent so I cross the border from time to time :)
Hi,
I am trying to build something looking like the a320. and my place is about 20km from gent.
Always welcome to come over a take the airbus for a spin.
You can see in the photogallery some pictures under user pdpo
See ya ...

It is great to see that so many people are willing to help and share their ideas.
Thanks for that!
And yes, it would be great to have a look at the building site,s
and testdrive your sims :p
I live near the german border (Roermond) so if there is someone
who lives in germany not too far from me (aprox 100km) and is building
a sim at the moment, please react!
Wil.

Hi Wil,
I'm located in Eindhoven. My setup is generic cockpit, but it has some items that might be helpful. see http://www.simprojects.nl/
You're always welcome to have a ride.

Wow, good to see such a warm response from the Dutch/Belgian builders!
Henk, your sim looks great. I am going to build a 'back-box' for my annunciators today and then cast a mold for it so that I can cast them in resin. Are you going to be backlighting your panels too?
Hey, Zeewolde, that's just up the road (from Almere).
Cheers,
Andrew

Andrew,
yes. I'm backlighting all the panel, but do that later.
I want first have a 'flyable' simulator.
btw, you're welcome to have a look if you want.

Hello Wil,
Welcome here.
I'm also building my B737 simulator and I live north of Antwerp near the Dutch border.
All the best with your project.
