  1. Lol.. yes kicking myself now for initially saying a330, but I was going by the blue RR engines and he shot it at YYZ, and also delusional that BA flew 333.. :( - posted too quickly....anyyyy ways - yes a 757 - Yes Thomas Cook - Yes Jazz does charter those 757, they keep em parked up by the fedex ramp when not in use... thanks for the help folks!We are going to jot out to YYZ again thiis weekend with the 70-300 lens, if the 15's are active again, I report back with some more content - hopefully some WJA for the impending release... matthew


  2. Air Canada Express - new Q400 service from Toronto City Center (CYTZ) and Montreal, have announced that they will be using iPads on board with each pilot assigned one, as well as one extra per aircraft. They will include charts, wxr, etc...http://www.thestar.com/business/article/983500--plane-check-ipad-checkJamesMatthews


  3. lol.. the first part of my post is activity, which i would do first ;)... i also wasnt advocating drug use - maybe the slang is different in your neck of the woods :)mattewh

    Isn't advocating the use of drugs a federal offense or something? How about doing some sports?

  4. Go outside - get some air - walk the dog - go for a run - start out the window - volunteer with an old person - volunteer with a young person - volunteer with the sick - roll a fat spliff and sit in your car watching planes land at the airport.... (If your near YZ - fedex ramp works well)Do what you gotta do... there more to life. The old adage.. $50.00/hr, $100.00/hr if you watch... this forum is like sitting over their shoulders.. let them work.. go live!!! itll be out before you know it.EDIT:MatthewH


  5. RX, as I state in my earlier post I work in film sound, post production to be exact, as yes its been a few years since school and our studies of frame rates sorry if it's rusty, I only use 24 an 2398 on a daily basis, as a sync mechanism, nothing graphically.But yes as someone else mentioned with the Disney example 1/24 or 24fpa is te perceived motion is the basic thing I was trying to convey ... Oops.As for PAL in film yes, that is true, PAL is video primarily, there is however a PAL Speed delivery for films that use a digital intermediate to do the prints, this being made in the sound dept - and yes it confuses things - I shouldn't of mentioned it LOL.Again, apologies for the confusion. Don't scream too hard.Mattharrold


  6. Thanks.. This is getting way more in-depth than my Human Performance ATPL book is! tongue.gifI stand corrected.. But I was close! Nerd.gif
    I think facts are just getting confused.. You're both right. The eye can register frames at a much higher rate, but 24fps (25 in PAL) is enough for the brain to register the illusion of motion from a series of still images. Film, yes 35mm projected actual film, is running at 24fps in North America and 25fps every where else (aprox), when you get into video and television, its the same principal (speed) just different was of counting (timecode - dropped frames so they can get more commercial time).A quick basic example. :)In theory 24fps would be the minimum for you to experience smooth motion ( of perfectly generated, images) but as cpu's are handling so much, a higher frame rate would be preferable. Bests, and great work on the NGX, personally looking forward to the 777 (ACA Flyer) but still a great plane to add to the hanger. MattHarroldPs. I do work in film sound, if you guys need a hand or anything fx mastering, mixing wise, please let me know. I know nothing of programming, heh, or how you operate, just throwing it out there.

  7. Bryan!Thank you for the quick reply! All is working now..Too bad about the FO take off, i didnt mind tracking the tiller for" him" for the roll - never had a crash problem... if youre ever on the fence about bringing it back - it added a great feature espically in multi leg flights for CRM. :) Once one gets the "hang" of it , its really a nice feature. I may have to buy the button version as well now... hehAll the best.


  8. Hi Bryan!First of all - fantastic product!I was "flying" with a friend and got a chance to use the FS2Crew LDS button version, and it was fantastic - i then decided to buy it for my rig (voice edition)... and love it.. two questions..1. FO takeoff? Is there a way to do this / trigger this in the voice version? i have been unable to find - i found it fun to simulate the PNF every once and a while, wondering how this is done in the voice version.2. When the autopilot is disengaged, and i ask heading 170 - i see the voice recognition, but the FO does not tune the heading into the AP. When AP is engaged and i say it, once i tune it he says checked. but it was my understanding that if AP was disengaged he will actually dial it in? am i confusing something here? is there something i have set up incorrectly?Thanks in advance for the help...Matt
