BOEING 737-800NG
COCKPIT SIMULATOR
BUILT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF MANY OF THE TALENTED AND INSPIRING COCKPIT BUILDERS WHO SHARE THEIR 'TRADE SECRETS' AT WWW.MYCOCKPIT.ORG
|
THIS FIXED BASE DUAL SEAT FLIGHT SIMULATOR OPERATES UTILIZING MICROSOFT'S FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2004 AND THE AWARD WINNING BOEING 737NG SOFTWARE FROM PMDG. THE DUAL FLIGHT CONTROLS ARE INTERFACED TO THE PROGRAM VIA USB 'SIM-BOARDS' FROM FLIGHTDECK TECHNOLOGY UK. AT JANUARY 08, THE SIMULATOR IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION BEING FULLY OPERABLE WITH A 94" PROJECTED IMAGE FOR FORWARD VIEW. THE SIMULATOR HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND BUILT BY OWNER GWYN PERRETT OF PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA. THERE ARE MANY PICTURES OF MY WORK HERE - http://www.mycockpit.org/photopost/useralbums.php
MY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING BACKGROUND HAS BEEN PUT TO GOOD USE BUILDING MY SIM. IT REGULARLY ATTRACTS VISITORS INCLUDING A GROWING NUMBER OF AIRLINE PILOTS. IS THIS WHERE I THROW IN A PLUG FOR 'VIRGIN BLUE' OR IS THAT AGAINST THE RULES? I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED ALONG THE JOURNEY OF BUILDING MY SIM WITH OTHER COCKPIT BUILDERS AT "WESTOZY'S MECHANICAL ENGINEERING FORUM" www.mycockpit.org
I ALSO HOLD A VERY NON CURRENT PILOT'S LICENCE! FLYING THE REAL THING WAS FUN FOR A WHILE BUT I THINK THIS B737 SIMULATOR WILL BE FUN FOREVER!!! |
