Great Job on that build , I've seen and tried a B200 home-built cockpit, Russ's 767 cockpit and was simply austounded with a near complete A4 by Sean AKA SeanG, all tied in with Pacific Simulations, today it let your imagination go for it !

Crikey talk about some hard work and Number 8 Wire... wonder what software drives it?

Talking to the guy who built this at Whangarei airport yesterday. It's XPlane 9, due to be upgraded to XPlane 10 when 'all the bugs are ironed out'. Currently running without autogen.

Funny, they sneak all round the place but just don't put there skids on the deck, I should get back down the road, last photo's I took of Sean A4 pit was a shambles .. but beside it was the operational 737 .. they had Virgin aircrew in it when there last week .. but crikey it sounded REAL !
