Chris,

 

Thanks for doing this. I started thinking, and I don't believe I have seen any more videos like this. I wish others would post similar videos, perhaps with different procedures, etc. It was a good opportunity to see someone else's equipment and the interaction with a flight. Good job.

Nice set up Chris. I love the MCP (Honeywell), mounted in a box.

 

The good old Saitek Pro Flight equipment. Do you have the Saitek Radios?

J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s

 

 

Nice hardware setup.

 

Always interesting to see how other fly in the sim.

 

Hearing the audio communication between the Pilot -Copilot and ATC would have added a lot to the video.

 

With that setup, do you ever fly Online -- like Vatsim etc ?

Thanks Dennis,

 

I have gotten this comment alot since yesterday and I think i'll keep doing just that. My next video will also include the communication with FS2Crew and Radar Contact (or online) so you guys can hear them. I was going for the educational type video instead of the "showing my great graphics" type video (althought i also do have have great graphics LOL) I was also thinking about a few surprises in the editing process like a picture in picture thing. I'm still working on that.

 

 

I really liked this style of video, good job. Also, you have a very nice cockpit setup.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. My wife just thinks i'm crazy so it's nice to hear a compliment on the setup from time to time because I put alot of time and effort into it. :biggrin:

No I don't. I will be getting the CPFlight ones soon. They are great quality and are replicas of the real thing. You will be seeing them in future videos. I plan on building a full size 737 cockpit in the not so distant future. I'm allready working on the MIP.

Nice hardware setup.

Hi, hearing the comms and FO will be happening in the next video. I sometimes fly online but not very often because of the lack of ATC coverage. I probably will be doing more of the online flying when I finish my pedestal for radio handling etc. Thanks for the comment.

 

 

 

To all:

I'm very happy with the response I'm getting for the video. I will be doing more of them for sure! I will try to upload a new one each week with different procedures and keep them educational. If I can help other simmers in the process it makes me a happy camper. ^_^ I realy did not expect this kind of response from these videos. I'm realy pleased and will be doing more that's for sure.

 

Thanks again for your comments and if you want to see specific procedures, please let me know and i'll do my best to make a video of them.
