What do they say, good things come to those who wait?

Well, my first 737 Yoke arrived and it is nothing short of a beautiful piece of art!

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a yoke! It is a great engineered piece, that looks and feels quite real! Tell Ali Matt sent ya if you order one. It may take a few months to get one, but it’s worth the wait!

The finish is smooth and feels great in my hands! The tension is fantastic. It has the stab/trim switches on the left, as well as the a/p disconnect. On the back of each side there is a momentary rocker for keying up your mic/atc. The chart holder looks great and is very well designed. What a great yoke!!!

I did some simple setup in FSUIPC but haven’t flown with it yet. Hopefully tomorrow! The FO is next, sometime this summer!

WOW!

Here are a few quick photos!

A really good friend of my Dave, whom I haven’t seen in about 5-6 years, has been in town for a few days. It was really cool to have him over this evening and during that time, he took command of the yoke and went for his first flight in the sim!

Have to say I was really impressed! Great takeoff and for a first flight ever, a very controlled flight and landing!

Great job DDF!

It’s hard to believe it but Pat’s last flight in the sim was over a year ago! He was over tonight with my other good friend Dave and after Dave’s flight, took the seat and flew over the skies of Los Angeles!

A lot has changed since Pat’s last flight, but most noticeably is now the full front overhead and the CPFlight EFIS’s/MCP

Purchased the YCSH airport scenery from FTX a few days ago. This was my first time really checking it out. Its fantastic!

I didn’t do any procedures, setup, nothing. Just full throttle takeoff and hard landing to get back on the ground :) The point of the video is just to show the scenery.

Enjoy and check out the FTX scenery products! I’m very impressed! (FYI this airport’s ICAO code is no longer YCSH, it’s YCFS now)

Did a 2 1/2 hour flight from YBBN to YMML, using FTX (Full Terrain) airports and ground scenery.

Going to take advantage of this weekend to learn some of the things the Sim Avionics CDU can do. Seems it has a cool pushback with sound feature, as well as Cabin announcements. Time to learn!

My nephew was over visiting this evening and took the Captains seat! I think he enjoyed his flight! But I think he enjoyed my PS3 more! :)

KLAX to KSAN testing out the new OLED visuals! Enjoy the flight!

I’m very honored to announce that My737Sim.com is now volunteering a live streaming feed for LiveATC.net!

I’ve started a podcast that will deal with my experiences in simulator cockpit building.

I think it’s a good way to add additional content to my site and help give even more back to all of you in the flight sim community.
