Is anyone using one of these? Cant seem to find much about them

Never heard of them, but realy nice stuff.

Still a lot of money, but quite a bit cheaper than other manufactorers with similar hardware!

 

Too bad though, no B777 quadrant as usual :-(

turns out they may be out of business. Have tracked down some buyers who haven't received any response after a year of trying, oh well back to the drawing board and looks like there is only one manufacturer with a reputation under 2 grand and thats jetmax

 

but no 777 ;-(

I have a jetmax and I'm pretty happy with it. Yes its pricey, but its an investment and you'll be keeping it for years.

One part at a time.

 

Next is the MCP.

OA I agree , lets say your still simming in 10m years it works out at around $140 a year, not bad at all really.

 

I would like to get a motorized throttle, maybe second hand but they are very pricy

Motorize throttles come with their own set of problems; I've read people have a lot of issues with the software interface.

Anyone comment on motorised throttles I was looking at one? Like an opinion as omni said problems with them? Nice to be sure.

Sure, if you can afford 2478 euro excluding shipping

 

I'm budgeting 5-10k for the simulator over the course of 5 years;

2k a year is completely doable.

 

Have the throttle, next will be the MCP, then a 1080p projector (the BenQ W1080ST looks great for the price!), the 737-yoke, then the MIP (2/3, going for the single seat trainer), then the CDU (ipad compatible CDU will have to do until then), then the rudder pedals, and last will be a nice 737 captain seat. 

 

The most expensive still being the MIP -- Jetmax alone is 3500 CAD. 

 

Build in stages, thats the only way

I went with the throttletek who make a beautiful 767 and were willing to work with me to customize a 737 V2 for what I wanted...  My controls are Boeing brown so I wanted it painted to match, I wanted custom backlighting and I wanted a 737 throttle even though I will be flying the 777 almost exclusively because of the flexibility.  For example if I got the 767 it only has 6 flap detents despite some aircraft having 9 detents.  So by going with a 737 customized in brown with backlighting I can fly the AC with 6 detents as well as those with 9 detents.  WOW that was a babble.

I ended up getting this very affordable throttle customized from fsthrottles . Its very loosley based on the 737 (flaps) but will be used as a generic for all my payware jets

 

Zoran that TQ looks alot better than the ones they post on their page..

What did that beauty set you back mate??

Hi Josh

On the website it shows the basic throttle at the basic price being $220

Ricardo can then modify it pretty much the way you want it.

 

I added park brake, flap lever,spoilers for an all up price of $330
