Ok guys and gals, 53 days till the big event! The SIM is now a 737-300 based on the IXEG 733. Come join us!

Do you want to be part of something special? Important? FUN? and most of all full of flying in a 737-200 Sim using all reall working parts!!? If yes, then join me and fellow other sim enthusiast in World Flight 2016 this coming November 6th through the 12th in South Bend, IN. It is for a great cause and I guarantee you that you will have a blast and hopefully learn more about this awesome hobby. You can fly the whole 7 days, just one afternoon or any combination in between. We will be having workshops as well that will teach Interfacing techniques, wiring, and grounding, programming Arduino, SIOC, and many other options. I have room for a few folks in my home and there are many hotels close by. If interested, please let me know asap and I'll pencil you in but please note, I need solid commitments by September . Also this is a group effort! Team USA #1 is based in Florida and uses an FDS based Full 737-800 so if you are closer to Sarasota Florida please join them in this great cause! I am starting Team USA #2 in South Bend, IN . 5 mins north of KSBN Any questions please feel free to ask and spread the word! Thanks!

Thanks!!

That is correct. Nice model

I'm not that far, South Bend , Indiana

Thanks Guys! I miss the multiple display capabilities of FSX and P3D though.

Thanks for the kind words and yes, it's about having fun! Thank you! I would love to have fellow enthusiasts over for flying fun! My door is always open for people to share this fun hobby! Nothing better than flying this baby on pilotedge with beer and friends Rob

No, it was horribly fast approach till about 50ft AGL then it got normal LOL ATC dumped us into the runway Should have called a missed. Thank you! Thanks!!

Thanks Guys, I have the payware version of Las Vegas for x-plane 10. It actually looked way better on my TV then it does on the projector in this video. Well worth the money. Rob

Had a blast today and tonight on PilotEdge with my kids in my little 737-200 Sim. The approach into Vegas looked pretty darn real if you ask me. I made a comment jokingly on final that the controller dumped me into the approach to high hence the sink rate sink rate on approach LOL Thanks for another great day of flying on PilotEdge with my kids. My daughter was my co-pilot and my son recording. Enjoy the video, lots of cool action and radio chatter. Rob https://youtu.be/dJwXRpJ_9lU

Tint the PFD, ND, and EICAS glass and it will look 10000000 times better. FDS should be doing this. Makes it look real and not like LCD monitors behind plastic. I'd also adjust your zoom on your displays. Way to far out. Other than that, looks fantastic.

I really wish I could enjoy V3 but haven't seen my coupon since V3 was released. Yes i've checked my spam mail, many times,yes i tried contacting them via x-aviation website and their Facebook page. Still no coupon.

DOH!!

A much better visual is in the plans but that is a couple years away as I am in a rental home right now. Not enough height in the basement for anything but TV's right now. I also want an FDS shell eventually so that will play into it as well, Thanks for the kind words. Rob

Thanks :} Yes, display will either be multiple TV's or Projectors eventually.

Thanks for the heads up, fixed that. Now public.

Finally got a decent video of the 732 Sim in action on PilotEdge. My phone went dead or I would have filmed the Landing. Very busy tonight and very challenging. Good for the brain to calculate my decent vs using a VNAV which I don't have. I highly recommend PilotEdge and they are opening a bunch more area!! Denver, Seattle, Phoenix to name a few. Allot more work to do but it is becoming more and more a joy to fly. Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhX_o4b_wmk Rob

Shot this yesterday with my son. I wish he would realize he doesn't need to do military style approaches !! lol Check out the VSI and ADI on his approach Crazy kid. It was fun though. Love the comments he gives. Enjoy, oh and better camera coming soon! https://youtu.be/KOXZhl4vX_4 Rob

Guess the 'kids' only like the NG's lol

Got the throttle, control columns, Rudder pedals, and seats in, floor painted and front window frame in and painted, Next up, co-pilots side instruments wired up.

Question, 2nd pic down first post, please tell me the rudder pedals and MIP are not sitting in their final location. Because if they are then only a 7ft tall guy will ever be able to fly it. Other than that, looks great as FDS stuff is and always has been the best short of the real deal. Rob

^^^^^what he said^^^^^^^^^^^^ One of the coolest prop planes ever, The Connie!!

For those builders looking for cheap 400Hz power supply I found you a solution. I am using the one linked below and am working with them to build and make available the 6amp version. I am driving my ADI, HSI, AP and Flaps gauge with the smaller 1.7A Unit found here, This thing is QUIET, perfect 400Hz sine wave, no ripple, and very small, about size of 2 packs of cigs http://www.powerstream.com/inv-12dc-24vac.htm If you get one please let me know. Thanks and spread the word.

Last night I installed my real HSI into the sim and did a test flight. All is working except the DME display which i'm trying to evaluate the best direction to go there. I made a very short clip of the AP making a climbing turn onto the GPS path. This was a major hurdle that many have struggled to make work and through the efforts of a few behind the scene guys we accomplished the goal. http://youtu.be/O3wUYOD1UeQ

Thanks all for the compliments. Looking forward to seeing my son as an airline pilot one day.
