At Big Boys Toys a few years ago they had a bigger version of that. You got to drive around Le Mans is an Audi R10. I played GT on PS and thought I knew the Le Mans track pretty well :?
I tell you what, this thing was scary. The video screens were wrapped right around and you were strapped into the seat tightly and felt every single little bump and twist on the 'circuit'. You get so immersed in this that your heart is going almost as fast as the 200mph+ you hit down the Mulsanne Straight. After 3 laps had finished I was literally shaking with so much adrenaline still pumping around inside me :lol: I haven't seen the same simulator since - what I'd give for one of those in the garage :mrgreen:

He's done a good job of it. It's a very impressive setup. His is a Boeing though. To build a similar thing for an Airbus one just needs a typical office cubicle, and a desktop computer running a 286 processor.

If something malfunctions, it sends you an email. The email is always the same, "Cette chose est cassé. S'il vous plaît éteindre et laisser le système redondant pour fonctionner. S'il vous plaît ne pas toucher la chose brisée. Signalez-le à l'entretien quand vous atterrissez. Merci!"

or

"This thing is broken. Please turn it off and allow the redundant system to operate. Please don't touch the broken thing. Report it to maintenance when you land. Merci!" :roll:
