It may be that he was just a little over-the-top excited about his job.................
I’ve got a friend who flies for UPS who has a pretty extensive flight simulator set up.
Saw this on another site and this is very troubling about the Captain.
And in a German online forum for simulator enthusiasts, X-Sim.de, there is a post from November 2012 in his name that says he built it himself.
“About a month ago I finish assembly of FSX and FS9 with 6 monitors.” The message was signed Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah BOEING 777 MALAYSIA AIRLINES
Whoah! Whoah whoah whoah!
They weren’t all over his house five hours after the plane disappeared without a trace?!
Is this the kind of third world empire BO is working to end up with in the us?
There are people, innocent people, whose families need to know, if not people who need to be found
Wow!!
Why have the not searched his home yet?
There are people with all kinds of things in their homes. But there aren’t too many of them at the helm of a disappearing airplane, and none of that set (2 total) with a pictorial history involving a ton of professional index region.
Having a passion for, and enjoying your profession has become something bad ??? There are MANY pilots, of all types, that enjoy building and flying simulators.
I know. I am one of them.
Tanks on those planes carry some known ‘surplus’ fuel... could the plane have made it to Pakistan?
I think people are seriously over-reacting. What is wrong with this? This is a pretty popular hobby among flying enthusiasts. I’m not even a pilot, but after flying various software sims at home, and a couple of hardware sims, I would love to have something like this.
Lots of pilots I know are aviation geeks, and they love to fly. Very common for them to have a sim at home. I would have checked his to see if the path of MH370 was on it, but having a sim at home is not unusual for pilots.
“...Foreign media have been reporting on unverified news that police had raided the house of Capt Zaharie in Shah Alam and confiscated his flight simulator for investigations.
However, Bukit Aman sources have all denied the raid took place, saying the officers had tried to visit the family but found no one at home....”
******************************************************************
“Tried to visit the family but found no one at home”?? And was there ANY curiosity at all about exactly WHERE is his family?
Who’s in charge of this investigation-—Inspector Jacques Clouseau?
Here are his YouTube video 'LIKES':

Take note of the hateful video against Pope Benedict, another video of Seth McFarlane on Atheism and gay rights, and another on Michael Newdow on Atheism. Zaharie 'LIKED' these videos!
Seems to me to be perfectly normal for a professional pilot to have a simulator in his home. The technology is readily available, affordable, realistic, why not?
Go to the simulator and find out where he has been practicing landings.
Also in the pilot’s home: A box DVD set of all “Lost” episodes, numerous “Lost” posters, print outs of every “Lost” script...
This part is true: flies the plane toward Mecca
