S V Choong 4 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 I have already tried this in Auckland, New Zealand, during June 2008. Cost a bomb to get a half hour slot. Fortunately I went there during the end of the day and the former South African Airways pilot gave me a full 1 hour experience without incurring any addtional charges! The simulator is modelled on a 737-800. You don't have to go all the way to Perth to experience this, I think they have a branch in Singapore as well: Flight Experience Singapore 30 Raffles Ave #02-06 Singapore 039803 Tel: +65 6339 2737 Freecall: 1800 737 0800 Email: singapore@flightexperience.com.sg Website: http://www.flightexperience.com.sg/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaryl Ariff 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 I've experienced the B747-400 MH simulator. U can feel the control,the turbulence and even the motion when pushing back. Worth a lot!. :drinks: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zaryl Ariff 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 RM1000, that's for my PMR Straight A present from my dad. 1 hour full motion, Aiman. Scenery : Photoreal but i like fs2004 object much better.Still,the airport somehow intergrated with Aerosoft AES Landing : Yup! sucessfully landed the jumbo with only 1 attempt.And the person sitting next to me(i don't know a technician or engineer) was amazed. A 16 yo kid can manually land a jumbo jet nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Congrats Zaryl for your straight A's! If you are to spend your money on sims, spend it on a full motion one. Fixed based just lacks the ooopmh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIR 2 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks Min there was a small article in yesterday's Perth Sunday Times Mag regarding the Perth Flight Experience. I think the sim is a fixed based type Found a clip of it in youtube > Might try the sim in KL someday, i think can choose B747,B777,A330 or B737. MAS Flight Simulator Experience Programme article.

The A330 or B737... that'll be another story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakan 2 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Min, congratulation, I hope you enjoyed in the sim even it is fxedbase. Eventually you were in %100 real cockpit of 737800 with fully functional. I hope you will get a chance to try full motion in next time. Fixed base sceneries looks much better then fullmotion commercial simulators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 So for the MH Sim Experience RM 500 will buy you a fixed-based sim experience? Or full motion? Thinking of trying it out for myself, maybe as a birthday present to myself... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syed A Ridhwan 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) So for the MH Sim Experience RM 500 will buy you a fixed-based sim experience? Or full motion? Thinking of trying it out for myself, maybe as a birthday present to myself... Judging by Zaryl's experience, it gotta be full-motion. Man, it'll be awesome to try that out. Yes, that's an idea. It'll be wonderful if MH can invite people to experience this simulator as gift for their birthday. For those who are not working or attached to aviation industry (like me) but have deep interest and highly enthusiastic about it, this can be a once in a lifetime thing for us @S V Choong, I did some survey for the AKL one some few months back. Yup, very pricey. Not worth for a fixed-based simulator. Thought of trying that out during my AKL trip during winter Edited February 17, 2009 by Syed A Ridhwan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
