Photo courtesy Flightdecksolutions, Jetmax by Flightdecksolutions or myself. The newest addition to my cockpit, has been this beauty. I guess i just felt the itch, to have it finished and up and running. □Īnd after exactly 18 hours and 24 minutes i had it finished and mounted. As i had a day off, i started early in the morning.Īfter 12 hours working on it almost, it looks like a cockpit. You see, those have been a lot of loose parts, to be mounted together. Upon arrival of all my packages, i had to unbox the stuff and get it mounted together. That gave me a start to set up and work with.Īfter all has been ordered, i was taking care of preparing all as good as possible, to be ready once my stuff arrives from Canada. JetMax-YKM-S – A mount attached to the MIP for my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke.ī777 Control Cursor Device -this unit reflects the CCD of the real aircraft exactly. JetMax777-XPNDR – Transponder Panel for the JM 777 SKTQ JetMax NAVCOMM1 – Radio Panel for my JM 777 SKTQ comes in matchin Boeing brown. JetMax 777 SKTQ – It consits of the captain side of the B777 with PFD, ND, EICAS, Lower EICAS, MCP and TQ (not motorized). Finally i got hooked up with the following: I took a fair amount of time, deciding on various options from my setup. They take care of all the Jetmax and FDS Sales in Europe. You can always upgrade to PRO MX and MX products as they are fully interchangeable and compatible.ĭuring my decision and order process, i was pointed by Peter Cos, President of Flightdecksolutions, to his Sales Partner for Europe, Klemens Klein from Flightsim Tech in Berlin. For smaller wallets the Jetmax is the perfect start. As the name states already the PRO MX series is the top of the notch hardware and reflects this also in the price. Once the FDS PRO MX series and the JetMax 777 SKTQ. They have two sets of Boeing 777s in their portfolio. Also they are providing hardware and projects to numerous universities and aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing. We will complete each module of the cockpit step by step, so that every flight simulation enthusiast can build a flight simulator at home. Their range goes from small budget SSTD (Single Seat Training Device) B737 and B777, also know as Jetmax Series to bigger DSTD (Double Seat Training Device) B737/B747/B777 and A320. Lucky me, i guess i found the best ones out there, when it gets down to Simulation Hardware for the Triple 7.įlightdecksolutions from Canada is one of the best known production companies for Flightsimulator Hardware out there on this planet. Better to put the first stage of the build into the parts that are going to be used frequently such as the MIP, MCP and CDU if you are going to build an airliner.There are a lot of companies out there, offering stuff for the B737 but not so many which are taking hands on the T7. You can fly without a functional overhead no problems in flight simulators. Of course if your willing to buy the all the switches and electronic interface yourself you could save a few $$ and strethch the budget further by buying the panels from hisapanels or somewhere that makes 777 panels by themselves and install the hardware yourself but even that isn't going to get you very far.Īlso just as a last note. The 777 is going to be tough to find parts for at your budget as FDS is the only plug and play supplier of the 777 and I haven't seen any 777 jetmax offerings new or used since FDS sold that to Azure. This is also true for other aircraft as well but far less frequently. The 737 and A320 are by far the most popular with numerous manufacturers and as builders upgrade or financial situations change due to a growing family etc you are always guaranteed to find parts on the used market at a very reasonable price. With a limited budget, I always suggest new builders to look at the 737 or A320. Your budget isn't going to get you that overhead the price is listed at the bottom of the description.
