Some people here like ShamrockF wrote that Simtech's FBS is a mongrel or not really useful. And I've already replied that Simtech has a brand new FTD1 B737-800.
You still need proof? Here's the link and certificate:

And here's Sky4u's FBS, owned by their partner Sim4u:

Sim is a FNPT-2.
Now regarding the simulator quality that's a goal for simtech. And that was my starting point in this thread, because many posts weren't telling the actual facts.
Additionally APS MCC isn't required by law so why not aiming for a standard MCC JOC?
And for this course you can choose between FBS and FFS. For roughly 5000 Euro you get a MCC JOC on a B737 full flight at Cockpit4u as aronsha wrote earlier. Think about that. Or just go ask TFC Kaeufer or RWL for a good offer.
Best regards to all newbies and always make up your mind for alternatives. Always having a critical look will give you a better overview. In the end it's your money and you should invest it in the most useful way.
I'm out, leaving this thread for the time being.
