Thanks. I understand landing was not possible. There was nobody in the roofs anyway, doors were locked. But long ropes or cables from the heli to the side of the tower could have given a few a chance. Surely they werent equipped with these ropes. If any jam occurs between rope and building it could be released from the heli. How far high was it? 300 feet? Could he hover lower for this purpose an relase cable to the side? Im not saying its possible, Im just wondering.

What about the helicopter hovering the tower and just watching people jump. Didnt he have gear and long ropes? they should.They should at least try to throw ropes while hovering at safe distant (since landing was not possible) and try to near them to the side of the building where those desperate souls were about to jump. It was worth trying? I get mad everytime I see that scene. People flagging white towels, being cooked alive and willing to jump to death, watching those heli pilots hovering as spectators. And where were those orange color helicopter that you see in TV are always ready to go into action in any safe and rescue mission? I think enough of all this praise talk about 9/11 participants, good lessons culd be learned if the media would do a mea culpa of what else could have been done or the mistakes (there were many), like acess to the roof doors locked (who was responsible for this?)Who was the stupid guy that gave the order that everything was fine, everybody returned to their desks, problem was only in the north tower? I want names.Who was the stupid guy that gave the order to everybody stay put in their floors? I want his name.Who was the stupid guy that asked for orderly and slow descent of the stairs? What!!!! On the contrary, what was needed was a seargant shouting Go-Go-Go !!! faster faster come on!!! In a plane fire emergency exit the crew firmly shouts and directs ordering quick exit. Why not in the towers? When the south tower went down there were lines of people coming down, more could have been saved if that foolish political correctness of "dont speak", "do as your told", "behave like sheep" "be a civilized new yorker" didnt prevail. 9/11 is so similar to the Titanic, all those half empty boats going into the water and those people watching with their mouth shut. No leader, no thinking brain among them. There is a fine line between "emergency" and "panic". Dont panic but certainly act with urgency in an emergency. Many more lives could have been saved and many more lives will be saved in future emergency events if people know what went wrong. It seems its a taboo to point failures.

Could some good soul that owns this Shade post not one screenshot, but two...a simple comparison, same spot, one default fsx, the other using shade. I think this is the kind it will better illustrate. I have seen no comparison in the store screenshots, so thats my advice to Stevethanks

He gman!first you open this thread in sept 8th saying you have discovered Tileproxy (I use it since 2004)Then after a few days you get frustrated with it on sept 26th you inform you are uninstalling it.QUOTEI agree that its worth it's just VERY fustrating, for a few minutes in a 200 kt plane the scenery will be crisp, but after a while it starts getting blurry and gets very frustrating!!!!EDIT: I'm sad that it had to come to this but I just uninstalled Tileproxy because of how long it takes for the scenery to show up in FSX, and I miss my seasons and trees. I still have the installer on my hard drive incase I change my mind, I'm sure I will come back to it soon. I'm just very tired of tweaking FSX, I want to spend more time flying, and hopefully the next version of tileproxy will maintain hard disk space... UNQUOTEthen a few minutes later you change your mind completely and re-install it and say you now know how to set it up and start giving "experient" advices about proxyuser.ini and fsx.cfgLadies and gentlemen: These are symptom reactions of a "teenager" (it works...it doesnt work...its amazing...its no god, etc.)DO NOT repeat DO NOT quickly follow his advices cause its as a "blind leading a blind"to start, the level mapping choice of repeated 18 will give you unbelievable loading times.good luck!
