I run my simulation on a network of Windows PCs running Windows 7 and XP, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Prosim 737, FSUIPC/Wideview and SIOC.
Hardware was purchased from Northern Flight Sim, FlightDeck Solutions, Desert Air Spares, and Boeing (by way of eBay).
My first page is about my quest to make a working Heads-Up Display for my cockpit. Look for more as I have time.
Hello,
Excellent Work. Congrats.
I’m also building a 737 cockpit. I need some measurements from your frame. Please contact me. I have a lot of 737 info that may be interesting to you.

Humberto
Humberto,
Just let me know what you need and I will send it along.
Have you seen this document?
http://markuspilot.com/BOEING%20737%20MEASUREMENTS.pdf
I’ve found it very comprehensive and helpful.
Hello,
I know markuspilot excelent document.
I need some detailed photos with some measurment from CB “closet”. Not only from individual panels, but from all P6/P18 assy. And other structural parts too.
I’m building my cockpit based on maintenance documents and need that measures.
Better to contact you via email, so I can send images with requests…
Unfortunatly I can’t find any email contact in your site.
best regards
Excellent photography and the beginning of an in-depth project. I also use many OEM converted parts; however, space does not afford me the chance to use a real 737 flight deck (maybe my next project…)
I wish you the best of luck. I will certainly keep tabs on this project. Cheers, Iain
Hello Admin,
You have done great work and your project is amazing. Currently, I am working on creating a detailed 3D CAD model of 737 on CATIA. I have made good progress but I am stuck in the cockpit area.
Would you be able to share more pictures (if you have them) for the structural layout of the cockpit. I found some very useful information from the pictures you already have on this website. I am specifically looking for stringer and frame layouts, door surround structure and bulkheads.
Kind Regards,
Chandresh.
Hi There!
Congrats on your project and your progress! I was actually the first guy to ever take a real 737 cockpit and convert it to a flight simulator. I would love to pick your brain about the BFF control loading. Would it be possible to chat with you directly?
Cheers,
Matt
Absolutely…PM sent!
Hi Peter (and team)
My congrats, a very impressive build so far!
I am really looking forward to your speech at this year’s FSWeekend in Lelystad next Saturday.
Best regards,

Hi,
Nice work with the Shell and floor………i was looking for a throttle Quad, are you interested in selling one.
Kind Regards
Ganesh.
Hi Ganesh,
Thanks for your kind comments. Unfortunately I do not have a throttle quadrant for sale right now. They occasionally come up on eBay, mycockpit.org, cockpitbuilders.com and the hardware marketplace at http://www.prosim-ar.com.
Good luck with your project!
Hello Ganesh
I have a friend who is selling his B737 throttle quadrant.
If you are interested contact me and I will supply your details to him.

Hi,
Could you also share me the link of the supplier for the Curved screen for Visuals as seen in some of the pictures on your site
Ganesh
Hi Ganesh,
That curved screen was made by Art May-Alyea at Northern Flight Sim. I don’t think he still makes the same design as his website now shows a continuous curved screen. The link to the current product is:
Have a look at NatVis in Melbourne

Hi guys,
Excellent work! Well done! I’m just wondering if you have some measurements (length, width, height, radius of curve) for the air frame (chassis/floor) that your sim will sit on? I know that you’ve got a real one, but was thinking of making one out of MDF with a solid wooden structure. Can you help?
Many thanks 🙂
Pete
Hi Pete:
If you haven’t seen it, there is an excellent document made by Mark at:
http://markuspilot.com/flightdeck/MEASUREMENTS.html
That has most of the measurements you might need.
If there are other specific measurements you desire, please let me know and I will provide them.
Thanks
Peter
Hi Peter,
Congratulations on an amazing project! And thanks for sharing all your insight and knowledge!
I am working on an ERJ145 setup very similar to yours, using a real EMB120 cockpit section with the original flight controls. I haven’t yet summoned the courage to cut my fuselage in sections and move it into the basement as you did, but sometimes I do get the urge (especially now that winter approaches again! 🙂
I am looking to implement dynamic force feedback as you have done. Would you be willing to spare a few minutes to chat about it sometime?
Thanks again!
Marco
Hello Peter
Im currently transforming a 737-500 to a flight simulator. Would love to chat with you and and i would need one measurment i could find nowhere….
