boestar Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 One part of the article I found odd was the comment "Chris added: “You can tell by the lighting it is a plane. “There is also more going on in the control panels than on a simulator. It looks a live aircraft.” Umm....Isn't the point of a simulator, Especially a Modern Simulator like the 777, DESIGNED to mimic the cockpit EXACTLY right down to the lighting and stuff "going on in the control panels" Judging by the phraseology of the article, it was written by a 12 year old boy.

Daytime settings utilize artificial light (miniature floods) that really doesn't make it feel like daytime. Regardless of sim or airplane, "dude is messed".
