Heard of Buttkicker? Its a sound transducer which attaches to your chair and produces vibrations -- works great when you're rolling on the runway and have the engine burning :) I'm surprised this isn't in your setup when it adds so much realism and isn't very expensive at all.

Thanks for the blog; perhaps budgeting for FDS will be feasible if my end goal is to complete it in 2-3 years. I am still going through the preliminary stages of building a 737 cockpit, your website has helped tremendously. I'm still trying to learn about I/O and interfaces, and wiring options, by the time you add everything up it most probably will come up similar in price to FDS, and its not an integrated solution! Have you asked Gwyn at AeroSim solutions about pedals? They are a local company, so you can probably save a bit on shipping.
Cheers.

Hi Iain - I check your site occasionally for updates and it is good to see you are still making progress. I do hope you are actually getting time to fly as well as build. Looking forward to future updates and I am quite interested in seeing what is next. Cheers Mark

Hi Ian - Nice site. I like it. The reviews are really good and help me decide which company to use. I was skeptical of FDS as they take so long to deliver. But, after reading your site they do seem to be a good company to deal with. MH

Your blog is helpful and interesting. Thank you for documenting the process. It's good to see that you are not being "pushed" by the sellers to promote their equipment in the best light. Independent blogs like this are important as many of the forums are controlled by the manufacturers of add on equipment and are are not unbiassed, Don

A very interesting and well thought out blog. I have been debating buying a flight deck for sometime and what company I was going to use. Your site has assisted me to clarify my thoughts and I'll be contacting Flight Deck Solutions and CP Flight. Thanks for taking the time to document the process. Good luck, Toni

Ian, outstanding job on your sim, and a great inspiration for others!
I'm in the process of researching the build of a small (single seat) 737 sim for use in human factors research for a uni degree I'm completing. Your site has given me some great ideas.
Thanks,
Rob
