Hello all,
As I begin my new project I discovered that I never introduced myself before.
Last year I put the finishing touches on my Cherokee 235 Simpit. I built a Standalone Garmin 530 and I thought it just doesn't get better than that. It took me about five years to build the simpit (and the Garmin) but it was fun.
In my day job I'm in the US Army and spend a good deal of time away from home. In fact, I'm typing this while in Baghdad.
Anyway, when I'm deployed I usually take a laptop and an old logitech gamepad to continue getting my FS fix. Last year while I was away from home, I bought the PMDG 737. That was a big mistake. that's all I fly now. I bought a numeric keypad to give me some more mapped buttons, and that's how I fly the 737.
Well, I've been getting emails regarding my GNS 530 build so I decided to log in to MyCockpits and now here I am. I've been bitten by the bug and have decided to upgrade to a 737.
I've been researching every free minute since. Once I get home next month I'm diving right in. I'll be sure to start a thread here at MyCockpits to keep you all updated as it goes.
I did spend $1700 tonight... bought a CNC, some materials, a couple of panels for examples... they'll be waiting when I get home. I've also got my quote and waiting for some funds to transfer to my paypal account so I can order the Revolution Simproducts Proline TQ!!!!! I need to order it now so I can get it before I deploy again next fall. Seems there's a lot of people buying it.
So, nice talking to ya. See you in the forum.
