That was mostly just a Sim Building issue I believe. The APP mode was annoculated on the PFD, but the lights don't come up. Even hitting the CMD L or R won't light up on the MCP when going to standard CMD mode (or wouldn't that week anyway). Just one of the quirks you get on a homebuild sim which is still a work in progress. ;)
Yep. Matt Shiel made it himself in Sydney, Australia. They then fly it around the world once a year and raise funds for RFDS Charity every november. website is worldflight*com*au - It's a full motion sim too. He has it at the property for the buisiness he owns which sells truck parts. Awesome setup, most of the buttons work. The CMD lights I believe still act like this but I'm sure they'll find a solution. It's just the Flightsim computer needing to talk to the MCP computer more.
it's available by invitation by the owner. Depending on what and when, it can be free or not. This was during Worldflight and the guys flying had paid about $400 each to do a weeks 'fly around the world' with about 25 other pilots. outside of the worldflight it is usually free unless it's for a fundraiser. but again by invitation only.

Impressive for virtual aviators. I was impressed with how well breifed your approach was and the amount of knowladge put into it. Well done folks. You could almost pass off as real airline pilots!
When you first start flying it's in small circa 1 tonne aircraft like a Cessna C152. You fly with an instructor and do lessons until he decides you are ready for a test. You will then perform this test to be able to take off and land by yourself, further tests let you take the aircraft away from the airfield by yourself, and eventually with a PPL you are allowed to book the plane and without any instructor. Sim training is mostly for training for emergency situations, IFR, CRM etc.
It's in Sydney Australia in Chipping Norton (near YSBK airfield). Website is in the Discription top-right from the video. The Sim runs off PS1.3 Precision Simulator which is a high-accuracy simulation of the Boeing 747-400 systems (it models no other aircraft). This is linked via EPIC and various other programs into Flight Simulator 2004 (soon to be upgraded to FSX sometime over the next 12 months)
Funny to actually see this video. Especially since I was working CYWG_APP during this flight. I think I can even hear me self giving vectors for the intercept ILS Rwy 13. Awsome simulator puts a face to that blip on the screen. Almost makes me want to fly downunder to actually see her.
I havent seen this one....they were flying with the center auto pilot and when he activated approach....the other two didnt come on.
