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."

    But terrorists COULD use this thing to train more suicide bombers. They probably just don't have to, because they can just send them to school somewhere.
