Mick, I’m totally unfamiliar with modern flight sims. A couple of questions,
1. Is it necessary to ‘fly’ these things in real time? I.e you say that he (Zaharie) couldn’t have flown the 777 to fuel exhaustion in 72 minutes on his sim. Is it not possible to ‘fast forward’ the flight so you’re not sitting there doing nothing for many hours?
2. How do we know that the aircraft was ‘manually’ relocated to the southern ocean?
3.is there a source for the statement that other details on his sim have been withheld?
