I know it has being long since I updated this thread, but just before Xmas, a serious health problem for my father came up. Life is difficult sometimes, and one loses the strength and appetite for his or hers hobby. This is what happened to me really….

I am getting used to the new situation day by day and to be honest yesterday I did my first online flight after almost a month of not flying at all. Anyway I am getting back to flying hopefully soon.

In the meantime my TQ had arrived during the first days of January. The box was left near my cockpit for few days, and two weeks after Revolution Simproducts team connected my setup to install it.

My TQ is the newest Proline version with 2 cards instead of 3, so there were few issues to solve. After a week or so of experimenting Rev Sim has fixed those issues, and finally since yesterday my cockpit is fully operative with a full motion TQ !!!!

I don’t have any pictures yet, but just 3 quick ones from my iPhone….

I will post new ones and I will try to record a small youtube video for all,

Till then

Take care and post as many pics as you can

Hi to all,

Thank you for your kind words. Things seem to get better, but we have a long way. With that said, I did some progress during this weekend. Installed the TQ, played around with REX, and did some work on the column the CH yoke is installed, made it more steady.

Made two short videos during an online flight tonight, so here we go:

and a few pics...







Last Friday, that is 3 days ago, I had the luck and honour to fly online together with Spiros who has been in Athens for a few days. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to fly more and discuss, but I know we will have the time in the near future. Thanks Spiros , see you sson and good luck with your career man

nice going and good to have you back. A tip from me is to hook your TQ LEDs to a dimmer. It's supposed to be dimmed together with the pedestal panels + CDU.
It's very bright when on full power.

Hi Nikos

I love the videos!!!!!!!!!!
I would just like to add that i had the chance to fly with Nikos online with his beautiful 737NG sim
even though i am an Airbus fan (and builder) Nikos sim is a fantastic and a realistic trainer , the photos we see are very very good
but it is better in real life!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on the sim Niko lost of work mate !!! Also thanks for the flight i really enjoyed it we will be doing more flights in the near future also
also real life ones

keep the photos coming Niko i can not wait until i come to Athens again


kind regards
Spiro
