i wonder how much he spent on it?
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.
I remember reading about this guy, he made that cockpit thats what I know!
it looks like he built it. its just a cockpit like box. no hydraulics.
NICE, thats really cool !!!
Thanks for sharing
Awesome :|
How do you know these are not REAL pilot students goofing off on a REAL flight simulator in Kuwait Airways training facilities?
wait a minute.. did he just say he’s 140,000 ft above the ground?
this is a BUS SIMULATOR at home
Flying bus? Magic school bus simulator?
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.
He should have invented a motorcycle simulator, it should be much more fun
Well this is cool i wonder what the chansces to see this sim at sight ???
please drop a line if its possible.
Nobu real flt sim`s wont use a Saitek yokes !! and again i wonder what r my chances to see this sim in real ???
yeah i think he is made that.
Now because you posted it here, FBI will arrest that guy and ship him to Guantanamo as a suspect.
Yes Musa’ad..
i wouldnt wanna have that on my CV on my way to the US
I would want to crash. But wait, no – I might spill my drink.
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.
hey i just saw it on AL WATAN newspaper today check it.. they interviewed him and he said that he invented it by himself…
mashallaa 3alaaah! Oo allah wafgaa!
3el boukra majless el omma ytale3 karar w ygouloun ta3adi 3ala el dawla hehehehehe yabi ydareb erhabiyine loooooool
Smells of 9/11 to me
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.
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.
