I happened to be in Perth for a linux conference, and after finding out about the Flight Experience Sim in Paris that was booked for weeks solid when I was there, I found out that they had a location in Perth too, and that was where I was going to be next, so it was perfect.
The pilot I flew with gave me a good overview of what to do and what's involved in flying big iron with passengers compared to what I usually fly.
Here are a few videos:
Dusk takeoff from LAX:
Landing at a SFO:
Landing at a small airport in the Alps:
I got to see the gear running all this, lots of computers:
