Build Your Own Boeing 737 Simulator

crux6rind writes "This guy built his own Boeing 737-700 simulator in his garage. The simulator uses elements of a retired Continental B-737-100 along with other genuine Boeing 737 avionics and system components. The simulator will be of the fixed-base variety (no motion, just outside visuals), using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000, interfaced with R&R Electronics' EPIC system. This system allows you to interface switches, lights, buzzers, gauges, digital readouts with virtually any PC flight simulator out there."

    Who would actually do this, or build their own CPU and VGA card, or buy their own Aircraft carrier, or watnot. These slashdot do-it-yourself articles are getting sillier and sillier.

    Sometimes I think maybe people plant these kinds of things just to see if terrorist really will try to use them. Here, take these plans to build a nuke and see what happens. Here, build your own flight simulator.

    The older simulators (about 20 years ago) used physical models and a camera which could be 'flown' through the model. Taller, buildings had to be hinged in case of collision with the camera which was on an arm. Rolls and cameras would be used for flighing at altitude.
