Sim Icarus Boeing 777 Handmade Flight Deck

Posted by timothy on from the could've-used-flightgear dept.

ShadowsMV writes "Three technology students finishing up their degrees at the DuPage Campus of DeVry University spent a term designing and building one of the most nifty flight simulators yet. Named the Sim Icarus Flight Deck, it accurately recreates the primary flight accessory controls of the Boeing 777, and interfaces directly with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. They have tons of pictures and lists of everything you need! Previous flight decks featured on slashdot include An awesome homebuilt and wideview with 13 Monitors And 9 PCs."

    I don't suppose you've heard of, oh, I don't know...half of the robotics advancements in the past 50 years, the Canadarm, the CANDU reactors, or any of the other innovations that have been coming out of Canada for decades?

    I'm guessing you're another unapologetically ignorant American, so let me relate a little story to you about the citizens in that great country of yours. I had a guy from Texas call a tech support line that I worked for; when I told him I lived in Canada, he called me a liar. He said that all the people "up there" live in igloos and don't have access to phones.

    Speaking of the things we never hear of on Slashdot, how come stories about hillbillies from the south U.S. beating up black people and fucking their own cousins never get posted?
