New cockpitbuilder (the cheapest and the laziest)

[Mark Stallen]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to make my own 737 NG cockpit and till now I spend about 15 euros and 4 hours time.
Offcourse I allready had an VR Insight MCP Combo I (100 euros second hand) and a old Acer Laptop and last but not least a MSI GT70 OD. But I think the result up till now is pretty nice.

To do:
- Make a plate for the clock
- Find me some nice knobs and switches (that's hard to do it el cheapo)
- Fill in (dummy) the Yawdamper and Flap Indicator gauge
- Find a low table (about 60 cm's high)
- I allready have a CH yoke and old pedals

And who knows what more (as long as it is cheap)

That looks super nice!! sweet!! but where did you get the dimensions for the panel? are they full scale panels anyway?

Thank you. The dimensions I took from URL : http://users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/plans.htm Fullscale captains side only
By now I also found some knobs and toggle-switches identical to the 737 from an destructed Lynx Helicopter. So now the looks are completed.
I', trying to get a large monitor (27 inch or more) for as cheap as possible (aiming on 100 euros).
I already had an old CH-yoke and old pedals, so almost ready to really use my panel.

You will share the fate of all of us.
Here's a button, there's a panel and, of course, an additional monitor. And in 3 months is a 737 Cockpit in the living room.:mrgreen:
