  2. Nine years ago I read a book called From Worst to First: Behind the Scenes of Continental's Remarkable Comeback The book talks about CEO Gordon Bethune that took leadership of the airline and brought it from the back of the ranks to number one in the 90's. He made what was the laughingstock of the industry into the model that others would follow. Gordon Bethune is what made me want to start the company that shuts down NetJets.

    Awesome! I would have loved to go that that game, even though I don't much care for public games. I've always felt the broadcast did best at showing the plays. Yes. The Ravens went out hungry and dominated right up till the power went out. I feel that changed the entire game, it was a different game. All I remember is the Niners being unable to rush the ball four yards for a TD. The Ravens scoring a record with a 109 yard punt return, and winning their first championship game in 11 years. Ravens deserved it more. Not to game to be forgotten soon.
  4. Oh Boston John, you get me.

    My heart sank too. Did not watch the commercials. I saw it all live through cbs.com
  6. It does not need to be done with 2D, but it can be easier. Are you using TrackIR? Anyway, FleetingThought's instructions are correct. You should find it by clicking MENU, you'll see the display option appear on your right MFD.
  7. FTX EGSG Stapleford Airfield.
  8. I imagine the two products should be able to work well with each other, but you're likely to run into performance issues. I have heard great things about Vancouver Version 3 and I believe it works well with ORBX too.
  9. I did time with their pretentious over-priced flight training too. Help the guy out, the survey is only one question.
  10. Probably a slew of stuff one "should" have done in that situation that wasn't. All I can remember is that slash on the pilot's right cheek...

    The lights went out on the 49er side, but they also had the most to gain from the interruption! They came back from a runaway game. In the end they were unable to rush the last few yards for a TD. Ravens defense came through when it mattered most and grabbed the victory. 02/03 Ravens 34 - 31 49ers
  12. Christian Science Monitor? Hardly a reliable source. And I think contrails and aircraft movement have a negligible effect on Earth's temperature.

    In my opinion, photoscenery stuff is flat and hardly worth the investment. I speak of people like Megascenery! While their products may be good if flying lifeless terrain is your thing, but there are more immersive alternatives.

    Ravens destroyed the 49ers!

    Disregard post.

    Don't let the name fool you, they are an incredible resource no matter what your area of interest. I referred to them frequently when I was in flight school. :mellow:

    Welcome to Avsim Helen! Might I also recommend an account at Airliners.net? Between them and us, you'll have all your necessary aviation resources tied up neatly between two sites B)

    Go Ravens! Interesting note: if 49ers win, it will put them number one in the league for Super Bowl championships, so let's hope the Ravens do their job and stomp them out quickly, effortlessly, and with as much unnecessary pain inflicted as possible!
  19. I would most definitely want to be told, or so I think I would. I want to go down facing death with eyes open, especially if I was an astronaut. At least the particles fused in the furnaces of dying stars can be returned in an equally brilliant spectacle of destruction. As for the families, they will be notified in a formal setting once some of the chaos settles. Safety first.
  20. Yes I would tell them! That's their right. I wouldn't wish that taken away from any body. You have to tell them!

    Interesting, I feel like I've read about this somewhere before. The detail in that photo is outstanding and so very clean. The first sentence on their website was all it took to get my attention http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aZSC4X4ZYiQ/T7-ckEt6q-I/AAAAAAAAAR0/o8ehqtmLKqc/s1600/screen_1337956756.png
  22. Oh please, both can be had!
  23. Noticed the landing light issue too. But I thought I was crazy when I couldn't find the white Nav light. Good to know i'm not the only one. Sigh.
  24. If the OAT is the issue that bugs you most, fly it more. It's terribly inconsistent. The avionics are shameful. Performances seems to be on par with the T182T, which was no benchmark for frame rate. Raul, you actually did a fair job of summing up my complaints!
  25. Well done ! That fresh recall of book knowledge makes you a formidable opponent right now
