Hi fellow builders,

I was recently interviewed by Wall Street Journal. The full story is somewhere on wsj.com, a bit hard to find. But they also shot a video, and that kind of proliferated on the net. If you'd like to see my cockpit as it looks today, check out

All the best,
Hans

Nice one, Hans!

BTW, after viewing Hans' interview on YouTube I got recommended towards this video from Australian Business Traveler, taken on board a Qantas 747 sim. It's a good long piece, about the best 'in the sim' video I've seen for ages. Interesting to see that the Level D graphics aren't really much better than FSX (albeit with better frame rates and no skipping <g>). I suppose that it's the size and collimation of the view that makes it feel real.
