No distress call.........no wreckage........no anything other than the pilot who had a flight simulator on his PC............which is supposed to make him enemy one. lol
For the record, it was not just on his PC, it was much more elaborately built.
Now, here is a chance for you to learn how to have a more productive discussion.
Harrier already knows what you are going to say: "So, because he built a flight simulator himself, it makes him a hijacker?"
Instead of responding in such a bombastic manner, take a deep breath, count to three, and think "Harrier didn't actually say that the man was a hijacker, he just clarified what was the nature of the simulator for accuracy".
Now, doesn't it feel better not being so presumptive?
I'm not going to say the pilot was or was not involved. I'll just say that flight simulators are not out of the ordinary for pilots to have for their personal use.

Problem is "harrier" folks are saying because he had a flight simulator he is the main suspect. I have one on my PC too. It means absolutely nothing.

Or out of the ordinary for anybody. That is what is being missed.
another "what if": supposedly the left turn was the last known direction the plane took. What if, at some point, the plane turned again? Everything I have seen & read does not give the search area a complete radius from the last known location - just those two arcs. Possibly I have not seen all reports, but if I had a loved one on that plane, I would hope they would search an entire radius of possible flight/ fuel availability. IDK...lotta what ifs.
Why can't they just position a satellite, zoom, and enhance?
Because Malaysia, Thailand, China, and any other country involved in monitoring the applicable regional airspace at the time either don't have the satellite or other capabilities of tracking the path the airline flew, don't want to disclose what they do and do not know because that would expose their military capabilities or lack thereof, are just plain severely lacking compared to U.S. technology and capabilities, or are incompetent in matters such as this. Any or all of the above.
By now, if the plane was hijacked and flown to an undisclosed location, it's either disguised with a different paint job and registration number painted on the tail, or hidden in a hangar.
Its a stupid computer simulator..........and how do you make a commercial airliner invisible? I'd like to know that answer.
If you tail another airplane or fly low you are invisible on radar (kind of)
