April 20, 201214 yr Has to be, WOW! i mean, thats almost as good as the real thing! http://bcove.me/5x9w8cnd dude basically has a real airplane. what game is he playing though? FSX? i can't tell, the cloud to ground lightning was pretty nice looking.
April 20, 201214 yr dude basically has a real airplane. I must agree. That is some serious stuff, awesome, Mr. James Price, you built the ultimate flight simulator/game or "big boy toy" as you said. Congratulations. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
April 20, 201214 yr The cockpit software is Project Magenta and the outside visuals are FSX using 3 overhead projectors. The cockpit hardware is from Flighdeck Solutions in Toronto. I got very good advice from James and a few other cockpit builders a few years ago for this project. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/371080-oh-how-i-wishhome-cockpit/ Fred. Frederic Steiner.
April 20, 201214 yr <snipped>- Fred, I didn't know you had built one using a real nose, now a FTD at Shannon airport Ireland. That is amazing. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
April 20, 201214 yr Thanks Ramon. It was a lot of hard work and took about 18 months to get it right. The nose section came from a Canadian Airlines 737 200 which had been broken up at Opa Locka in Miami Florida. James and a few other guys sourced the other Boeing stuff for me in Kentucky. The most expensive part was actually shipping it to Ireland. It was shipped in a large custom built crate and travelled across the north atlantic in a cargo ship. (middle of November) It arrived in Liverpool UK and was then shipped to Dublin Ireland. It got to me by truck.......all in one piece lol. Fred. Frederic Steiner.
April 20, 201214 yr Here is the direct link to Shannon http://forum.avsim.net/links/goto/41-boeing-737ng-simulator-shannon-ireland/ And you still enjoy MS Flight, even more amazing! Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
April 20, 201214 yr Hi, His website is being redone but here's the link: http://www.737simguy.com/ Clicking on the link to his old site gives info on the hardware and software he's using (or was using). Jim F.
April 20, 201214 yr Author so, i wonder what kind of hardware setup he has in his computer...the monitors (at least one) were touch screen...but looked like it was win2000, lol. imagine what flight would look like on that running through xfire gtx 570's :Drooling:

April 20, 201214 yr Eheh... this is exactly the opposite of FLIGHT in terms of investment. I can't blame him though... If I were an air traffic controller I would certainly earn the money to invest on such a "toy"...
