Reporters rely on Train Simulator to hijack unrealistic

　　B777 for male journalist trial Simulator flight test landing runways enter flight data 20 minutes practicing well at unfamiliar airports, but simple Walkthrough "hijack" low value

Dang Malaysia Police Captain Zakhari House when they saw his flight simulators, will presumably be quite surprised. The layout of "weird" monitor, similar to the layout of the cockpit, is the spitting image of Boeing 777 meters, it is no wonder that the police would focus its investigations here.

However, for millions of fans of Flight Simulator in the world, and more are questioning, Zakhari Simulator joystick worth 20,000 yuan, foot throttle, rudder, split-screen display are readily available, but he can really pass it Simulator walkthroughs "hijacked" to what degree? Malaysia strongly rendered a game machine exactly what? Law night reporter first experience Flight Simulator, and then gives the answer.

　　End of game

　　This is a Simulator?

Zakhari Flight Simulator is not mysterious. According to foreign media blast, is running Flight Simulator FSX and FS9 and X-Plane 103 games. As with all computer games, run that three games only need a computer of adequate, nothing special required reporters FSX is installed in the computer.

From the perspective of public photos on the emulator running FSX or FS9, they belong to the same Microsoft Flight Simulator (flight simulation) game series, FSX is the latest, but many fans still leave FS9, because beyond better picture quality than the previous-generation FSX, simulation fidelity than FS9.

FS series of games were developed by Microsoft Flight Simulator games, though it is a game, but it is very professional and high degree of photorealistic, both to aircraft performance, control simulation and is reproduced in the external environment, for simulation purposes.

The hardware side, judging from the photos published in the media, Zakhari flight simulator consists of several parts of hardware components. As long as 20,000 yuan and skilful computer technology, anyone can be saved from the market such a sophisticated Flight Simulator.

　　Journalist experience

　　A what information exists in this Simulator? 24,000 runways, nearly all models

Reporters opened the game, found out that the game contains the main details of the commercial flight routes, more than 24,000 airports worldwide, including heading, runway length, altitude, radio frequencies, approach procedures at the airport, and can be updated in real time the latest weather information from all over.

In addition, the FS series of games also allow players to download third-party-developed models, the airport and the weather plugin, to supplement the original game. These plugins can be downloaded easily from the Internet and install it.

Worth noting is that Zakhari posted yourself on photos and when police searched two photos, models that run on the Simulator were Boeing 777-200, this model is not included in the original game, but reporters found that by installing a plugin, and can run almost all the world's aircraft. In addition, Zakhari simulations Boeing passenger air service, single hand lever is the alternate.

Which Flight Simulator can simulate tasks? Take off and land at any airport, free to set almost identical to the real flight plan

This system is Boeing can be manipulated Zakhari 777-200 Simulator take off and land at any airport in the world, reporters by downloading the latest routes and airport information found, Zakhari can develop complete, almost the same flight plan with reality, in particular, can in reality have never been to the program to practice takeoffs and landings at the airport.

Journalists already very familiar with the game, with only 20 minutes, completed a practice at the landing at the new airport.

On the Simulator, journalists selected from a to take off, select destination b for the Maldives Malé international airport.

During the flight, just in the game along the route of the aircraft needs to be identified in the repository, and then through the plane's flight management system (FMS) can be entered in the route plan, the aircraft will go to male airport.

When approaching Malé airport preparing to land the plane, reporters pull from the repository to the blind approach procedures, airport runway data, reduced frequency, and so on, enter them into FMS, then a smooth landing.

In addition, journalists also tries to free a time point, enter the airport code in the FMS to the route point, the plane automatically turn and instead fly to another location.

Although the process is very simple, it is worthy to note, FSX and FS9 is only a game, only a fraction of the real aircraft, and professional simulators for pilot training there is a big difference.

　　Challenge results

　　Simulators can Walkthrough "hijacking"?

　　Only Zakhari familiar stranger, remember the rise and fall of the airport procedure

"Five runways" was the most watched local Zakhari, Simulator. Malaysia official said, were stored in the Simulator, "Diego Garcia, male, two runways as well as India and Sri Lanka, three runways."

In fact, FSX runway information store 24,000 airports worldwide, from games, any player can call up these few runways, can practice taking off and landing on a runway. Moreover, by downloading the latest upgrade package at the airport, airport information can always be updated.

Journalists also pulled from your own FSX game Diego Garcia military base runway. Details on the runway in the game, including heading, runway length, altitude, Tower blind drop signal frequencies, and so on. Simulator 777-200, also there is around this airport en-route and approach procedures.

Zakhari said do attempts to hijack the plane to the airport, just by practicing in the game, he could become familiar with these he had never been to the airport, can even remember the procedures for landing at these airports.

But the games are just games, $ 20,000 worth of Flight Simulator is just a luxury gaming machine. With this Flight Simulator exercise "hijacking", it is not realistic. "9·11" event that Al-Qaida terrorists in order to practice driving passenger, need to enter the aviation school, is not enough to rely solely on computer simulation game.

　　Render a game what?

It is worth mentioning that, Malaysian suspect Zakhari intends to fly the aircraft to the US troops landed at the Diego Garcia base. Here is the US military in the India ocean sea-air base important. B-2 of the US military's most advanced stealth strategic bombers were deployed here.

Zakhari flew around the "absent-minded" radar, in front of a US military air defense system will also have clear evidence. One turn off the answering machine, the unidentified aircraft flying at low altitude tried to avoid radar, is likely to be experienced "9·11" baptism of the US military as a threat to be "focused care".

At present, the Malaysian investigation directed against the two pilots, and guide the media attention focused on Zakhari and his flight simulator. In this context, horses have been slow lately, the information contradictory criticism abated, maybe that's what the Malaysian side to a game in terms of rendering intent.

　　记者体验模拟器试飞B777 调出马累机场跑道输入飞行降落数据20分钟练熟在陌生机场起降但操作简单演练“劫机”价值低

　　当马来西亚警察在机长扎哈里家中看到他的飞行模拟器时，想必会十分诧异。布局“诡异”的显示器、类似飞机驾驶舱的布局、酷似波音777的仪表，难怪警方会把调查重点放在这里。

　　不过，对于全球几百万模拟飞行的爱好者而言，更多的恐怕是质疑，虽然扎哈里家价值2万人民币的模拟器摇杆、油门、脚舵、分屏显示一应俱全，但他真正能通过这台模拟器演练“劫机”到什么程度？马方大力渲染一台游戏机的作用到底是何用意？让法晚记者先体验一下模拟飞行，再给出回答。

　　起底游戏机

　　这是一台怎样的模拟器？

　　扎哈里的飞行模拟器其实并不神秘。据外媒爆料，飞行模拟器运行的是FSX、FS9和X-Plane 10三款游戏。和所有的电脑游戏一样，运行这三款游戏只需要一台配置足够的电脑，没有什么特别的要求，记者的电脑里就安装了FSX。

　　从公开的照片上看，模拟器运行的是FSX或者FS9，二者同属微软开发的Flight Simulator(模拟飞行)系列游戏，FSX是最新版，但许多爱好者仍保留FS9，因为据说FSX除了画质比前一代更好之外，模拟的真实度还不如FS9。

　　FS系列游戏是微软开发的模拟飞行游戏，虽是游戏，但十分强调专业感和高拟真度，无论是对飞机性能、控制的模拟还是对外部环境的再现，都以仿真为目的。

　　硬件方面，从媒体刊登的照片来看，扎哈里的飞行模拟器由几部分硬件组成。而只要有两万元和娴熟的电脑技术，任何一个人都能从市场中攒出这样一套复杂的飞行模拟器。

　　记者体验

　　这台模拟器里存着什么资料？2.4万条机场跑道、几乎所有机型

　　记者打开游戏，发现游戏中包含主要的商用飞行航路、全球24000多个机场的详细资料，包括跑道航向、长短、海拔、机场无线电频率、进近程序等，并且能够实时更新各地的最新天气情况。

　　此外，FS系列游戏还允许玩家下载第三方开发的机型、机场和天气插件，对原版游戏进行补充。这些插件可以很方便地从互联网上下载并安装。

　　值得注意的是，在扎哈里自己发布的照片和警方搜查时的两张照片上看，模拟器上运行的机型都是波音777-200，这款机型不包括在原版游戏中，但记者发现，通过安装插件，可运行几乎全球所有机型。此外，扎哈里常用的是模拟波音客机的民航杆，单手摇杆只是备用。

　　模拟器能模拟哪些飞行任务？在任何机场起降、随意制定几乎与现实相同的飞行计划

　　这套系统可以让扎哈里操纵波音777-200模拟机在全球任何机场起降，记者通过下载最新的航路和机场资料发现，扎哈里可以制定完整的、与现实几乎相同的飞行计划，特别是可以在一些现实中从未去过的机场练习起飞和降落的程序。

　　已经十分熟悉该游戏的记者，只用二十分钟就完成了一次在陌生机场降落的练习。

　　在模拟器上，记者选择从A地起飞，选择目的地B地为马尔代夫马累国际机场。

　　在飞行过程中，只需要在游戏的资料库里查出一路上飞机需要经过的航路点，然后通过飞机的飞行管理系统(FMS)输入到航路计划中即可，飞机会自行前往马累机场。

　　当飞机接近马累机场准备降落时，记者又从资料库中调出该机场的进近程序、跑道数据、盲降频率等等，将其输入FMS，随即平稳降落。

　　此外，记者还尝试在随意一个时间点，在FMS中把机场代码输入到航路点中，飞机就自动调头，转而飞向另一地点。

　　虽然这个过程十分简单，但值得注意的是，FSX和FS9也只是游戏而已，只能模拟真实飞机的一小部分，与飞行员训练用的专业模拟器有很大的差别。

　　质疑效果

　　模拟器能否演练“劫机”？

　　仅可助扎哈里熟悉陌生机场、记住起落程序

　　“五条跑道”是扎哈里的模拟器最受关注的地方。马来西亚官方称，模拟器中储存了“迭戈加西亚、马累的两条跑道以及印度和斯里兰卡的三条跑道的信息”。

　　实际上，FSX中存储着全球2.4万个机场的跑道信息，任何玩家都可以从游戏中调出这几条跑道，也可以在这些跑道上练习起降。而且，通过下载最新的机场升级包，还可以随时对机场的资料进行更新。

　　记者还从自己的FSX游戏中调出了迭戈加西亚美军基地的跑道。游戏中有这条跑道的详细信息，包括跑道航向、长度、海拔、塔台频率、盲降信号等。777-200的模拟机中也存有这个机场周围的航路点和进近程序。

　　如果说扎哈里确实企图把飞机劫持到这几处机场，那么只要通过在游戏中的练习，他可以熟悉这些自己从未去过的机场，甚至可以记住在这些机场降落的程序。

　　但游戏只是游戏，两万元的飞行模拟器也不过是一台豪华游戏机。凭借这套飞行模拟器练习“劫机”，实在是不现实。正如“9·11”事件之前，基地恐怖分子为了练习驾驶客机，需要进入航空学校学习，只靠电脑模拟游戏是不够的。

　　渲染一台游戏机何用意？

　　值得一提的是，马方怀疑扎哈里打算把飞机飞到美军迭戈加西亚基地降落。这里是美军在印度洋上重要的海空军基地。美军最先进的B-2隐形战略轰炸机都曾部署在这里。

　　即便扎哈里能够驾机绕过“心不在焉”的雷达，在美军的防空体系面前也会无所遁形。而一架关闭了应答机、低空飞行企图躲避雷达的不明飞机，很可能被经历过“9·11”洗礼的美军视为威胁而予以“重点照顾”。

　　目前，马方把调查的矛头指向两名飞行员，并引导媒体的注意力集中到扎哈里和他的飞行模拟器上。在此背景下，近来对马方反应迟缓、信息矛盾的指责也渐渐平息，也许这才是马方对一台游戏机大加渲染的用意所在。
