  1. Every movie and TV show in the country does the same thing. In a medical emergency switch to channel 1 and call the EMT. The EMT decides if 911 needs to be called.

    But he did not really accomplish anything amazing. He most likely read the forums at DCS http://www.digitalcombatsimula... and or xPlane http://www.x-plane.com/desktop...

    Doing what many others have done already. The rift has been used in sims since it came out. With extensive instructions on how to simulate every detail of a cockpit from a simple 172 to 777 to an F-18. How to get all of that working on a PC. As a simmer myself. Much of it is simple stuff.

    Looking at his build, it is cool. But in no way amazing.

    Can be done cheaper then that. Those in the Digital Combat simulator http://www.digitalcombatsimula... and xPlane http://www.x-plane.com/desktop... community have been building stuff like this for years. With extensive instructions on how to use everything from MFD's to rifts to io boards for all the buttons and switches. With all age groups and budgets.

    This individual is probably a user on one of those very forums. The blogger who wrote the article just saw something cool. Did no research and blogged about this awesome thing this kid did that no one "to him" has done before

    I can imagine the judge now. So you were not paying attention. With your face buried in a phone. You bumped into someone and you fell down. In self defense you shot them. Good luck with no lawyer. Heck, good luck with a lawyer.

    The last time i was pulled over was for a a brake light out. The officer did not give me a ticket.

    Seeing as i pulled over in a parking lot. When he was done. I got out my car, went to the trunk and got an umbrella. Proceeded to jam it in-between the brake pedal and the seat. Walked to the back of my car a saw all my brake light on. Looked over at the police officer and said "they work now" he just shrugged.

    Yeah fuck police harassment.
