I havent seen this one....they were flying with the center auto pilot and when he activated approach....the other two didnt come on.

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. ;)

WHAT?

This is home made????

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.

do you pay money for this and is it open for the public?

[musicalaviator]

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!
