Ok, I want to make a full cockpit 737, running the PMDG software.  I want to get an estaminet of how much would it be, and how much time would I have to put in?

Blackace,

Welcome to the simpit crazyness.

That is a hard question to answer.... but in general it will take more time than you plan for and more money than you plan for.

Hello everyone,

Yep, John is right you are going to need a mortgage. My wife have already told me to choose between "the monster" in my basement and the mortgage of the house.

I think what I have learned from my experience is to plan and think very well before starting. I have a lot of things that I tore up and rebuild and wasted time and money. And still very far away from getting finished if there is such a thing called "finished" in sim building.

I would say,at least in my view, it is a process which lasts long and never ends. Partly it is the process which part of the fun rather than trying to finish it.

Check many resources on the web and you will probably find something that matches and suits your needs and skills.

Good luck,

If you want to make a full 737 cockpit, then one way to go and to save you a lot of time and effort is a scrap nose section. If you Google scrap 737 for sale or 737 cockpit section you get lots of hits and at around $1800 a ton, a stripped of cockpit section would not be that expensive. The guy below paid only $1000.

Check this guy out, Matt's 737-700, it is just what he did.
