Haha…..I love it when they serve the Johnny on the rocks….
Gotta say, that’s a pretty boring thing to buy, it’s slow and nothing much happens. Rather sit down with a 360.

This is mentioned in today’s watan newspaper pg 9, ididnt read the whole article but it seems like this guy (3bdalqader Al Qadiri) has actually invented his own cock pit.
13. Adrenaline | July 13th, 2008 at 10:23 am
He should have invented a motorcycle simulator, it should be much more fun

Now because you posted it here, FBI will arrest that guy and ship him to Guantanamo as a suspect.

I was lucky to get into the flight simulator at the KAC training center at the airport by a family friend about 10 years back. It was an awesome experience with the exact simulation of Kuwait’s airport, landing, take-off, approach etc. Even the landscape! I remember ‘taking off’ and flying right through the Kuwait Towers while the alarms and warnings went off while we tried this needless move.
21. Moe | July 13th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
hey i just saw it on AL WATAN newspaper today check it.. they interviewed him and he said that he invented it by himself…

It not that hard to do it you have the money and time. They are mainly a kit that you need to buy and know how to put together. This site gives provide all information needed (http://www.737flightsim.com/). However, he did a really good job.
26. Alawi | July 14th, 2008 at 10:38 am
i know this guy, he made almost everything by himself all the wiring, all the computing, he told me that he will inshalla add hydro for movement. anyone here a Microsoft Flight Simulator user? he is still working on it. but mashalla he did a good job.
