I did some major work on a flatmates car the other day, and rather than pay me, she wanted to buy me something....well...what about a 737? ....seemed like a good deal to her...and me smile.gif
This is a real piece of work...my present system wont do it justice, but i thought you might like a look.......not sure what you wanted to see , so Ive done quite a few.

I thought the Harrier was going to be a hard one to get right.....this baby has a 526 page manual, and a good portion of that is just on the FMC. Only downside Ive found so far is the lack of repaints..it only ships with 3 (westjet, KLM, and a vanilla BBJ)
Theres a full review of it in the new PC Pilot, i would have tried to do one (review), but my reasons for adding this to my hanger may be not the same as yours , so not much point.

Anyway...here you go....



vc overhead












sorry about the odd perspective, but i had to get what i could....its a real slide show on my setup.

Nice stuff, do they have the 7,8 and 900's included in the package (please tell me the 900 is there), what about the HUD is that modeled?

Looks like a nice cockpit, - fluffy seats and switches that look like switches, - and writing that you can read, - always good.

I'm still waiting for the PMDG one, which is taking forever, but this looks great. Like you say, - needs more paints.

Indeed, thats why a few oily hours under a car paid off for me....otherwise forget it, and to be honest its a real nice sim....but its got competition.

Actually Ian, I hate to correct the Oracle of all things flight laugh.gif but actually the classic is actually used in reference to the 3/4/500 series, strange as it may seem
Nice shots Marty, those panels are stunning, not photo-real and grungey like the PMDG ones look, but startlingly clear, looks like a great aircraft
