Thanks for that, I've been having the same issue until I cleared the cache.

Is there anything available that allows two people to be in the same cockpit over the internet. Say a friend in his house as first officer and me in mine in captain. I ask him to extend the flaps, he does it on his computer and it happens on my plane as well and vice versa, and if there is what is it and can it be used with the 737 NGX.

Nice of you to post this but they where asking about the PMDG NGX

Thats just the MD80 by the looks of it.

If life is tugging on you so hard that .... writing "google is beautiful" makes you angry ... please PM me, perhaps I can help.

google is a beautiful thing ...

No, it isn't. It is just embarrassing. For the poor spelling as much as the sentiment. Gerry

As the Admin on the PMDG Facebook said earlier today, "There is a Tuesday next week as well :)"

absolutely amazing!

wrong topic :)

Amazing how loud it was in the cockpit initially. Can't understand a thing that was said other than "emergency decent". That and ATC coordination with the other sector "needs to descend to 10,000ft...he's going to do it anyway" lol

Giggity Giggity!!

Southwest B737 nonstop service from RSW to somewhere I feel like flying that day

I was having an interesting time just reading this, but Im gonna toss in my two cents.As a (unfortunalty non-flying) employee of FDX, last month I was able to sit in on the whole preflight of tail 375 (MD10). When I talked to the crew about my simulator experience and my RW flying experience, these two very nice pilot's went out of there way to show me things. I had a problem with the concept of "dial a flap", having primarily flown Boeing systems in simulators. Upon explaining this to the crew, both pilot's talked about the gates (on the flaps controls) and made me see how much the simulator and RL can be different. Further in the preflight, they showed me ACARS ops, they showed me this tablet PC looking thing that contained EWR's relevant departure information and they had the take off briefing for EWR 22L where the captain mentioned "...this departure has a lot of things going on pretty fast, so I need you to make sure you're watching me" to the FO. There is obviously more to it, but I did want to show that there are, (1) friendly pilot's and (2) you CAN get in on the pre flight.When we landed, I told the FO about PMDG and he said he would check it out as he wanted his children to see what it's like.I miss the days when we could ride in the cockpit...

Rude, unfriendly comments? I'm not making rude comments.. All i'm "spewing" is my opinion, which isn't rude at all. Simply a statement, not meant to be picked up as rude. Alex Vanover

We are not modelling structural damage to the airframe - I don't even think the FSX engine has the ability to handle such things in any realistic way. We do have constraints here people - the core sim engine's limitations can't be completely bypassed...About the closest you'll get to this is manual reversion mode, which makes the controls very slow responding and sluggish, but seriously, we're not making an accident simulator here.

What i'm saying is I know they didn't sit there and let a 13 year old do HALF the preflight...

I've lived in Phoenix for 19 almost 20 years and I don't remember dust storms that big (50 miles wide and 3000 feet high I heard). But dust storms during the monsoon season can occur occasionally.

I hope that Airtran adopts the Southwest "powerful takeoff" policy once they merge.

Why would you fly into ATL? BHM wouPld be WAY faster than ATL. Even though all flights are operating out of term. C, there are no delays caused by the construction. I flew out of BHM last week, and it was fine. They knocked down a wall inside the terminal in order to add more TSA screening lines. The whole operation is running very smooth. They also added more restaurant options inside of C to meet the demand. Like I said, there are no delays at all caused by construction. You could check in, get through security, and board your flight in less time than it would take just to get through security at ATL.

Today, I watched a Southwest Airlines B737 depart RSW from intersection F2 (8500 ft of runway) get airborne before both Air Tran and American Airlines B737 did using full length (12,000ft of runway). And SWA was airborne almost 1000 feet before TRS and AAL rotation point :)

Hi folks!I just saw this: http://flightaware.c...e/flight/BOE523Looks like it will be arriving in BHM in a few hours. Does anyone know what this is all about? Why would they want to come here? I'd like to see if I can catch its arrival and departure, but I don't really know how to find its agenda.BTW: For those interested in the BHM expansion project:The project is now well underway. See here for more info: http://en.wikipedia....d_ModernizationTerminal A has been demolished, Terminal B has been closed, and the old cargo terminal has also been demolished. Terminal C is currently handling all flights. Do to the lack of sufficient gates, many planes are being parked on the apron where passengers are boarded by stairs. Foundation work for the new terminal A is slated to start this month..

Wow!! If I wasn't excited already (which I was), I would be now!! Every time I hear about this bird, I get more excited!! Nice job!

Simply ask a flight attendant...:blush:The approach into ATL was CRAZY, severe storms at 10pm.......~Kinda scary while descending.-Very low visibility(I could barely see the winglet)~Landing was great though.-Very heavy braking and full reverse.Best Regards,
