Approaching St. Maarten in a Boeing 737-800 Simulator

[@magicinlayturbofan]

Absolutely awesome simulator! I can't even imagine how much this cost. It's every simmers dream to have one of these. I flew Air Canada's Boeing 767-300ER Simulator worth 20 Million dollars last month and it was the most realistic and intense thing I have ever done on a Sim. The Instructor really put me through the test. Although I came out of it sweating, I can proudly say I never crashed. I did the ILS on 6R at Toronto Pearson- No autopilot and in foggy conditions. Thanks for sharing your vids! They are awesome!

[@johndonovan7018]

100k (not sure if euros or what currency tho). 737 and 320 are commercially available as seen here

[@ProTuner06]

Not that much at all. The simulator you used is made with genuine parts. These home sims are made with replica parts. I'm in the process of building my 737 simulator and it's gonna be roughly $10k in the end. Of course, it's cheaper here in the US. One guy I know of in the UK built his for $8K over the course of 3 years. It's not anywhere near as expensive as people think if you know how to find things cheaper and you custom make as much as you can yourself. Not too mention it's much cheaper now since Norwegian737Project built his because a LOT more people are building this very project now including myself. There's other people on here that built one on a budget and they aren't much different than what's in this very video to be honest.

[@ehjay669]

Mike Hamel .. Mike ..we're building one together.. deal?.. V1

[@Rilex037]

So much expensive hardware, but frame rate is like 15 at best, which would make me break the whole thing

[@lMrPivotgamerl]

If I had that. The whole neighborhood will think I disappeared. XD

[@RobbyBoy167]

+Mr. Pivotgamer I (Niti Shehu) dude even my family will think i ran away cause I'll be in my room all day

[@harrymole7230]

Just want to say thanks so much for the 62 videos on building the project. I think you guys rock!!! I have been in Virtual Aviation since the late 70s early 80s starting with a ZX Spectrum 40k pc and had a flightsim there .. still struggling on with a "generic" cockpit on my desk using AMD Eyefinity .... would love to build something but the currency difference in South Africa makes a project like this horrific ... your 737 NGX simulator is beautiful .. look forward to your future videos ... admire the dedication and passion ...

[@Norwegian737Project]

Thank you very much for your comment Harry :) Good luck with your project

[@aviationislife7801]

I am impressed not only do you have a nice cockpit setup but you also have a nice looking sim with good fps usually you don't see that when it comes to full cockpit sim

[@capeponds]

It's good see you flying after the hard job you have done happy flying and remember if you have the chance to do a short video of the positions of your protectors that will helpme a lot the distance between the screen and the projectors I know there is no time for all the request that happens to me to thanks

[@MrTheedarkhorse]

Thought that was a real simulator throughout and wondered why there wasnt a jolt when you landed. Awesome job

[@BOdenwald1979]

The word AMAZING doesn't describe your job, dude!! PERFECTION!! I sooo wanted to have one like that! CONGRATULATIONS!! Top class job!

[@Sirontech]

Very nice video. I have been following your build from day one and I'm sure you are now enjoying the fruits of your labors. Alan

[@sumaket]

Nice Sim ! Nice approach. If i had one thing to say, on Vor/Dme approach, you have some altitudes checks to do, as depicted on the chart, and on a Dme Arc, you have to put 90° angle to your next radial. But hey, overall i want to say i enjoyed watching this video ! happy landings and take care !!

[@MosheGavrielBinkovitz]

Hi I knew your project just two weeks ago and has been turned (without you knowing) your fan! I'm basically a technical man and understands the scope of the mechanical construction as well as I deal with Flight Simulator for the past 5 years. So my admiration double! You have been receiving compliments from all over the world on your incredible project! Really not easy for me to find another unspoken compliment or people thought it .. I say only one thing: Throughout the network, including KZbin home simulators builders have all kinds of ideas or financial investment .. After I've kept up all 62 videos in your building all the building seem childish and funny compared to your great work !! And of course I do not mean to offend anybody just I'm sure they also think like me if there are real!

[@justynstevens9035]

I would really like an approach into the Madiera Airport in Spain! That's supposed to be quite a challenge!This vid was awesome too! Thanks for uploading

[@cyberdami]

Maybe you could shoot some video on how to setup your screens and fine tuned them, highlighting possible problems that you can come up against? Would be very helpful... What a sim! ;)

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

That was just amazing! Nice landing too :) Can you do a video at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) sometime? :D

[@Minalover100]

Well done! Good landing. I love your setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ricardo60683]

Has anyone requested for you to allow the ass-man to perform a landing with a strong X-wind gusting to something like 40kts? As always, j/k. Glad to see a new video from you. It's amazing to watch you using the sim after the build journey we were taken on.

[@benrobertson1255]

This is awesome mate its good to see the sim all finished! It would be cool if you could do an approach to NZCH.

[@ramair6424]

Outstanding! Very professional. Not sure if you are a real pilot but you made it look easy. Your set up is AMAZING! Looking forward to seeing more! Thanks keep 'em coming.

[@Norwegian737Project]

Wow.. Awesome :) Yes I am a CFI real life, although I haven't been able to fly real life since 2009 :)

[@CaptainFirooz]

Oh Boy, this was One for the Most Realistic and Professional home made flight sim videos ever, I have seen on KZbin, most of the time, I really thought you were in real flight cockpit flying !!! 😆😆😆 You made me laugh too, it was great, awesome effort. I just subscribed now, so I will watch all you other videos. Hopefully after my wedding next summer I have something to look forward to fill up my spare times! loooool will be coming back to you for some professional advice, so do stay around please, and expect to see me more pestering you for info's. ;))

[@castellano71]

Amazing how you built that sim. My wish to have something like that in the future. Now im busy with flight sim x on my pc.

[@aspenna1]

Muito bom!!! ótimo trabalho.. curto todos os seus videos. Abraços São Luis - Brazil.

[@jasonmedlar1]

nice bit of kit well done on the build

[@michaelwhalen436]

do a night approach into SFO CATIII 28R nighttime fun approach very fun you should try

[@Ramp10er]

I love the software and the setup a million times...

[@jefpostmus109]

-pilot induced oscillation- but nice session!

[@casaamaril]

Impressive, would be nice to see a video with a first officer

[@mrMankx]

nice work with the cockpit project!

[@tomasolivieri1615]

I really enjoyed your video. Nice flight. Can you make a video on Maiquetia (SVMI)?

[@nathanwills7033]

I'm really into simulation. I have a Cessna pro flight yoke with a throttle quadrent and running x plane 10. I want to be a commercial pilot and fly 737 when I grow up. and a simulator like this is definatley something on my bucket list. How much did all this cost if you don't mind me asking and could I get links to the online websites to get all this? or are there links on your videos when you were making it.

[@Vuran2001]

I really admire how closely you were able to match the look of the cockpit. I had one question: how did you obtain your primary flight display?

[@itamarmoshe6966]

great video id like to get a cokpit like that how much did you spend for all that?

[@mall115]

what a beautiful simulator!! hope I could get in one of those!

[@greeksalad84]

WAKE UP !!!! lmao ... thanks for the great video .. that scenery looks wicked ..i have never followed the TNCM full VOR procedures but man that looks like fun ! once again hats off to a brilliant setup.

[@Norwegian737Project]

Thank you very much :)

[@AlfredReinoldBaudisch]

That's insane, great work! But looks like you invested A LOT on this and not on the GPUs? I don't know if it was just in the video, but looked like it was running on low fps? Specially when taking off and landing. Anyway, I will just die happy now once I have one of these at home too, thanks for the video!

[@blueb0g]

You made the positive rate call before there was any movement on the VSI :P

[@flight7186]

Like the projectors and projector screens

[@tangowally]

I too would find useful a video on projector/screen locations and FSX setup. That's one of the most daunting parts of sim building with not much (clear) guidance on the Internet.

[@Flightguy69]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

[@Lighthousemaker]

Awesome video and well done....the ultimate sim to aspire to. :)

[@SpiritMolecule]

15 years ago i was playing a 2D pong game on my Atari thinking the graphics and technology were amazing... look at where we are now... Video games and simulations in 15 years from now are gonna be AMAZING, were gonna look back to things like this and laugh

[@iwestbury]

You know, that is so good I bet you could get people to pay to fly in it! Absolutely awesome, fantastic work. Thanks for sharing it. I'll put my name down for flight lessons next time I visit my Dad in Moss, Norway :)

[@yanivmoas1984]

+Norwegian737Project Awesome stuff man! you got a new subscriber! loved it !

[@aviator03minecraft]

Best home-cockpit i have ever seen !! :D

[@ChrisMcEvoy]

Can you make an approach video into YHM (Hamilton International Airport) ?

[@shanecleary4121]

First of all nice video dude all you need now is some ATC to really up the work load =) and second can you please tell me how many frames per second you get on the wrap around screen on 3 projectors.. its hard to tell how much stutters, if any, you get because of the camera and streaming video.. im just curious to know your FPS on that resolution as it looks a little jumpy like somewhere around 20FPS...how many FPS do you get in heavy cloud? a stable smooth 30FPS with all them scenery add ons in heavy weather would be dreamy =) and i have to say i love the way we can see the screen through the eyebrows.. nice!!.. i will be starting my own project next year so thanks in advance for all the videos.. lots of knowledge gained =)

[@JulioBS820]

Do you have another Sim for general aviation or smaller airplanes?

[@Fuglsang84]

Looks absolutely stunning, as allways! Btw. Have you seen the 737-style RMI from Flight Illusion? It would look awsome in your cockpit. 😆

[@Norwegian737Project]

I know.. I am considering buying the RMI from FI. But since there in no good solution for the digital HSI yet, I'll have to wait

[@yerbamateholland]

Hi! As always a nice video! You are talking about Aerosoft scenery installed too. I also have installed Fly Tampa, but where ever I look for the St Maarten scenery of Aerosoft, it seems they do not sell this. Can you tell me where I can find the Aerosoft St Maarten scenery please? Thanks and keep on sharing your great vids into a very special home made Flightsim ;-) Ed

[@Norwegian737Project]

I am sorry, my tongue curled up on me in this video and I accidentally said "Aerosoft Scenery" What I meant was that I have FlyTampa St. Maarten scenery with Aerosoft's AES Ground-services installed :) Thanks for commenting and watching :)

[@AviationVideosDublin]

Hey awesome video could you do a video on dublin airport i know that the norweigen air shuttle goes there that would be cool thanks :)

[@cyberdami]

Long time no see! Was wondering how your sim was progressing.... ;)

[@TheDPM71]

Good to see a flight during daylight....couldn't really make out anything in your evening flights. Do you enjoy flying your sim as much as you enjoyed building it?

[@leonpilot737]

Did you forget to set missed approach initial heading (180*) and then to reset the flight directors after the autopilot was disengaged (as soon as you continue visually)?

[@keitheric5]

Awesome flight sim. Good skills!

[@orbitairify]

can you do a sort of tutorial video on how to fire up the sim , from cold and dark to ready for pushback, please?✈:)

[@SamathPerera]

great visuals *.* so amazing :)

[@Davidgough27]

looks great sir happy new year

[@MrTact1]

Thanks, great vid, one of my favourite airports :-)

[@sugarberry140]

Very Cool, i want one of those simulators....

[@samcarter4933]

what would be a dream to have a simulator like this., it's so cool :)

[@TheCheapPop]

Hey, great video. Is this a custom built simulator? Because its amazing!! Only dream of having one of those in my basement.. if i won the lotto id so buy one off someone.

[@TheCheapPop]

Nevermind, just noticed you built the thing from scratch, oh my god, that is some hard work and that must have cost a lot of money!

[@carstenjrgensen4194]

Hey Norwegian.. Do you offer tours, and how much will it cost. I would be so gratefull to try and fly with you. Best Regards Carsten (Denmark)

[@anderssivertsen1850]

Can you try to make a video when you are landing on ENZV Rwy18 in south east gusting wind ? I have heard from some pilot that i know and they say that winds from south east and landing runnway 18 is not easy ;-)

[@yerbamateholland]

Yeah I thought so. Thanks of getting me back on earth too ;-) Best regards!

[@MwangiKamuru]

you're doing a wonderful job, keep up! (from kenya)

[@QuickIsland]

Hvor holder du til? Siifra hvis du har lyst på besøk! ;)

[@Wannabeaswapilot]

Did you put the PMDG 737NGX's sound into the Prosim 737 because the engine sounds sound very familiar?

[@Norwegian737Project]

Yes, these are the PMDG sounds you are hearing:)

[@69EvilRed]

Hey is that the new PMDG737? Hehe. That's a nice 737 simulator you got there, sir!

[@joshua1224100]

Can make an approach video into Cleveland Hopkins? In any weather.

[@Norwegian737Project]

Thanks for the request

[@Noah12278]

Are you using a curved screen for display or something else. Most people use that kind of display.

[@sblopez9617]

I know but you can purchase the scenery from flytampa I own it but I don't have that beautiful cockpit of yours I'm flying with just two 32 inch lcd's

[@imabrahamseed]

Wow! Excellent! I actually felt like I was in a real cockpit and flying!! All this guy lacks is a Captain's uniform!! Lol 👍👍😊

[@beyondthestars4299]

why you redused the speed after take off? i don't get it

[@cblair0608]

Im not real computer savy so I was wondering if there is a "kit" or a package one can purchase that has all this stuff in it? I can assemble it but I just dont have the ability to get all the programs and video/graphic cards and all that stuff. This would be a perfect setup for a dream pilot who wil never be a pilot in real-life.

[@paperfly88]

Fly to Östersund, Sweden. (ostersund) The Airport is located at Frösön (froson).

[@Ganon136]

Cool simulator you have here! How much did it cost to make this simulator?

[@christophermurrell2116]

Where did you get the cockpit, and how much did it cost?? I am really wanting one.

[@TheAviationEnthusiast]

is this FSX i flow to St.Maarten before and it looks similar

[@alibragge1986]

You should add 50ft to your mda when setting you're minimums so you don't descend below it

[@benjaminblanchard8824]

Hello. Where did you get Your mode Control panel? And how mutch did you pay for it?

[@larrydockery7201]

I am a l -1011 pilot myself where did you get that sim dock

[@joe88812]

can you do a video where you land at fuertevenchura airport? The code is GCFV

[@plaady]

looks like you need a co-pilot ;)

[@davitmartirosyan8917]

ya u do :P MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMMEME

[@TheJason2123]

Do you stay in california so i can see this in person its just amazing

[@Norwegian737Project]

Hehe.. No I am in Norway :)

[@v0240324]

You see the beautiful St.Martin and you want to go out and go swimming but you remember you are only in a simulator :/ But a nice one ^^

[@cabo2107]

Yo man nice Vidd buetifull cockpit where can yo buy/make it and how?

[@gknoxis]

how mutch did you pai four all this?

[@rickoalvio]

Nice Share ... Can this be run in Flight Simulator X?

[@Class1aNScaleModelRailroading]

When are you going to P3DV2?

[@AussieRoads]

Fantastic man and I am soooo Jealous right now. My dream is to own my own 737-800 simulator. Great work, and Subscribed.

[@Bombga1]

Install atc and get headphones Cockpit looks awesome by the way

[@Noah12278]

What are using for display projection?

[@fsxjourney]

Great video and good approach. Do a video approach with a real co pilot.

[@MrProjectDragon]

I really want you to read this but please go fly to Oklahoma airport or Denver Colorado please!!!

[@Pauljdp]

***** where did you get the charts and flight plan print outs

[@africandialects]

How do you determine your descent rate towards the runway?

[@romulotpr2]

The Gol airlines in the Brazil, land with full flaps 737-800. to avoid tail strike...

[@nickolasdeans7880]

Can you do a flight to mexico if possible

[@routedirect]

Do you mostly fly on your own? Do a flight into EGLL :D

[@combatarmsjong]

Make a trip from SBPA to SBSP (Brazil cities)

[@vololibero8330]

Don't you have a friend to act as P2? Also try Rwy08 circle to land at Innsbruck. If you do, the approach is not that difficult if your heights and speeds are correct. What is difficult though is the missed approach. Full throttle left climbing turn back to Absam within a radius of 1,700 metres!
