SEPANG: Data from the flight simulator taken from the home of captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah has been forwarded to international investigators for verification, said acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

"As far as the simulator is concerned, we have forwarded the information to international parties to verify, and very shortly I believe the Inspector-General of Police will be able to give information of the current situation," he told a daily press briefing on Friday.

On Wednesday, IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said that game logs on the Boeing 777 simulator built by Zaharie were deleted on Feb 3 this year - over a month before the Boeing 777 went missing.

The simulator, built to replicate a 777's cockpit had been taken from Zaharie's Shah Alam home and reassembled at Bukit Aman.

It had been made with off-the-shelf computer hardware including an ASUS Direct CUII and Rampage IV Extreme motherboard and six flat-screen monitors.

Khalid said there were three games found on Zaharie's simulator - Flight Simulator X, Flight Simulator 9 and X Flight Simulator.

MH370 took off from KL International Airport on March 8 heading for Beijing. It has since disappeared with its 239 passengers and crew.
