AN INDIVIDUAL IS SO crazy about flight simulators that he's built one in his lounge, based on a real 737 flight deck. Although his loung is not your conventional sort of lounge.

Matt Ford's 737 Project started when he was 15, and he says he's always dreamt of building his own personal fright stimulator.

His dream became something of a reality when he bought a defunct Continental Boeing 737-100 flight deck and he's spent the time converting that into his own simulator.

The software used is Microsoft Fright Stimulator 2000, and he's written the system simulation in EPIC EPL code.

There's a pic of the guy and you can find out how far he's got, here. ยต
