Another 737NG company, the iFly, offers a cockpit builders option, to be able to completely build a cockpit around the iFly, providing external displays. Seems to me much similar to Project Magenta, but the iFly delivers the sounds, flight characteristics and all the goodies that come with it. Besides, it's cheaper tham PM (I asked).

 

Does NGX provide anything similar? I'm aware I could undock the displays on the same computer, but the idea is running separate computer only for the graphics and sounds, rest, the computational data, display refreshing, ran off another computer etc... meaning the best possible performance in 3-screen configuration, giving you basically enough FPS to be able to fly heavy addon airports with lots of autogen, clouds etc in a huge display resolutions with sick amounts of anti-aliasing. Something like the ultimate in flight simulation...

No. PMDG have stated repeatedly that the market is too small and their aircraft too complex to make producing a CBE viable. Mate of of mine has the iFly on his 737 build and it's pretty solid. It would be a second to the PMDG. Really, once you are in the cockpit it becomes less of an issue because your not using the VC exterior model. I haven't noticed anything radically different that I've thought instantly was wrong.

Well, fine. I only wanted to know. I have no resources to build a full sized cockpit, I would have place for it though. I would be satisfied with a non-motion full sized cockpit, which I would build piece by piece. But the equipment price is just way over my head.

 

Look hard there are some reasonably priced mockups that wont break the bank.

lol, most of us make concessions.

ProSim737 all the way

Yes. I'm addressing your original post. I've heard prosim737 is excellent. Checkout the blog flaps2approach for a review.

Prosim737 is another cockpit suite and it's great also, could go into details, but this is PMDGs forum. Since from your OP, going to guess you are not aware of some of the other cockpit suites/ gauge software packages and what they offer, suggest you peruse the cockpit builder sites when you go for the $10k setup.

For a simple start, you could use OpusFSX and its Live Camera facility to drive one or more slave computers whose sole function is to provide the out the window views. Autogen and clouds might not be completely consistent if using multiple slave computers. 2D undocked windows on the main machine could provide the various cockpit displays. It's not ProSim737 but it's inexpensive if you have an extra machine in the closet and why wouldn't you use Opus for your weather anyway<g>?
