Quake3World

And has stashed it in his garage:

He looks a bit like a gnome, but it's a pretty impressive achievement.
I wonder how he built the software. Did he write a 3D graphics engine from scratch?

edit: embedding fail just click the link.

I do wonder why these people don't dedicate their efforts into doing the real thing instead.

Uhm...it says clearly that he's an air traffic controller and a pilot.

I do wonder why goth fagg0ts don't pay attention to the material they're discussing instead of looking like a moron.

i would like to try that thing!

impressive

there are folks who build these things and don't go near a real plane - with good reason, $$$$ (also, time).

Props for dedication.

ffs...you really are stupid. I thought you were joking all those times you seemed thick, but I guess you weren't.

Why don't you watch the video again and wait about 16 seconds...when he starts talking there is text below him.

wtf are you talking about?

at 0:16 he's just blithering about how he's made his plane, at no point does he mention his job.

what the fuck

Yeah...at no point (0:12) does it say on-screen:

James Price, of Pleasanton

Aircraft controller and pilot

I'm sorry to report that phantfagsmagoria has suffered brain death at approximately 4 pm EST.

My bet would be that he created something to map all the inputs into keystrokes and made it a glorified controller. Or perhaps he is piecing together professional grade components from real training sims. The only reason I don't think he didn't write it all from scratch is the quality of the world data they were showing and the fact that he said he could fly anywhere in the world.

Really nice effort & hobby

pfft i know a guy who built a plane out of his simulator...

Fuck me in the goat ass, that's awesome. All he needs now is hexapod table to mount it on and he's got the full dealio.
