Hi
Have a look at www.virtualaviation.co.uk , I think they should be able to help you out. I've never used them so don't have any details regarding price etc.
Good luck

So Sorry. Was lead to believe the Oxford sim was Full Flight.
Yep, I know theres a difference I spend 4 days a week in the real thing. I meant between 300 and 400 in flying technique, apart from the 400 you have to be careful on rotation as its so much longer.

737 Simualtor
The definition of an FNPT is Fixed Navigation Procedure Trainer.
To get as close to the real aircraft as possible, you will need a full motion, level C simulator.
Level C sims, operated by a Type Rating Training Organisation (TRTO) (which then become level D sims) can be used for all the required training for a type rating. The first time that you will fly the real aircraft will be on a revenue (with pax) flight.
Because of this ability, the simulator has to behave exactly the same as the aircraft and has to undergo continuous checks to ensure it fidelity.
That is one of the reasons for the extra cost involved.
