progress on my 737 NG sim
 

Hi all....

Here's some pictures with the progress of my sim.

The throttle is real and comes out of a 737/200, i also have the complete rear bulkhead with everything in it.
Will start interfacing the throttle now. Any ideas, tips, etc most welcome.

All panels, the aluminium stand, the cdu's and the landing gear lever come from Engravity (737cockpit.com), The throttle and some small parts are from boeing. I have switched from FDS panels to Engravity Panels.

First an overview picture

As you see the levers of a 200 are somewhat different from a NG

Frontal shot:
You can see that the stab trim override switches are different too..
The 200 doesnt have TO/GA buttons either, but a Go Around button

Another close up. Stil have to fold the carpet around the lower subpanels. I have some real vents that will be placed when the panels are cnc-ed.

And another close up. You can see the different levers very well here. Thrust levers, speedbreak and trimweels will be motorised...as soon as i find out the best way to do it.

Close up of the landing gear lever. Looks real doesnt it. I forgot to place the dust guard behind it. Will do that ASAP

Same shot but gear down. Over ride trigger fits perfectly behind the guard.

Another close up. No autothrottle disconnect buttons in the levers. Strange enough the levers and grips are wired. So i will place some pushbuttons myself.

Still alot of work...but im getting there.

Hi Stef,

congratulation, great job, nice pictures.

Would you please do me a favour an take another picture with the reverser levers fully pulled back.

To make my throttle unit look a little bit more realistic I would also need dimensions A, B, C as shown on attached sketch. Would you please take that dimensions from your real throttle.


Thank you in advance good luck with your project

Regards
Norbert

no problem...will make you the pictures this weekend and take the sizes for you.

do you want a picture exactly from the side ?

Stef

A picture exactly from the side is fine (exactly what I need)

Thanks again for your help

Norbert

Hi Dnoize,
Ich hab gesehen dein fmc is for sail. Wie viel willst du dafür ?? Ist er plug and play??? Welche Farbe hat die beleuchtung. Und wo hast du ihn her damit ich im Fall noch einen zweiten kaufen kann???
Ich weiß viele Fragen.
Hoffe du kannst sie alle beantworten.

Fabio
