European Court of human rights lobby, they are capable of trashing any change that may involve fairness to others in the name of non-descrimination, and then laying law suits on companies & individuals to make money.

The only thing I am aware of regarding colour changes are the older red LED Digits, or the Newer white LED Digits.

I Weigh 73Kg, my Fiance, she weighs 65Kg, My Boss weighs 135Kg, Nearlly the weight of both of us put together, If this helps those that are 'Very Low Centre Of Gravity' Challenged pay for what they actually weight, And we combined get to fly for what that individual costs, I'm all for it, I know this will not be popular in all departments though. Depending on the aircraft and number of passengers and 'weight's', it does of course possibly mean variable price tickets, unless it is a fixed cost per Kg. I know on the route I normally fly, there are a lot of very generously built people, for which even in business class, they personally weigh more than myself and my max. luggage allowance put together, Then why should us slim-lines pay for those that aren't? This does raise many questions for the aviation business, and I am sure the human rights will sledge hammer their way through this one as with every thing else.

Actually, that is on the PMDG website lol A left over from April 1st? http://www.precisionmanuals.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=99&idcategory=15

Isn't that what Aircraft Carriers are for, like Car Carriers?

The Correct answer is of course, "Of course you don't love, You look fantastic as always, in fact, lets go out to a restaurant for a bite tonight, I don;t know, somewhere not to fancy, Mexican, Indian or Chinese, or anything else, you choose :)" and if you really want to put the icing on the cake, you can always add "You know that outfit you've always loved in 'Shop X', why not go with the girls shopping tomorrow and get it, then we can go out in the evening"

There is the Justflight one aswell.... http://www.justflight.com/product/f111-aardvark-download Although I haven't tried either of them And this one.... http://secure.simmarket.com/gks-f-111e-collectors-edition.phtml

S Bends yesh, see below http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=SP80226CEEF3BF5672&v=7Y3v1-WMJS8#t=455s

Hi there, Although that card is a little older now, It works just fine attached to a 30" Screen for my purposes, so textures themselves are not an issue in that regards. The one thing it won't save you is OOM, for instance, using the PMDG NGX or Coolsky DC9, plus photoscenery with treescapes for london, with all airport add ons for london, and Aerosoft London, you will get an OOM lol, specially with high settings, so every thing is compromise, but graphics wise no issue, it will load every texture you throw at it, it is the 4Gb 32bit FSX limitation that gives that issue with all those addons and settings ramped up high. My works computer for travel (need a new graphics card there) with only 512Mb RAM GPU, won't show all the textures, even with settings down low at edwards airforce base with a high textured aircraft, but is okay for photoshop needs.

Although Memory size does not matter on the GPU regarding how Fast FSX runs directly, Ensuring your Graphics Card has enough is important, otherwise all textures will not show, at bare minimum you will need 1024Mb Graphics Memory.

Tee hee, Nice to open up a can of worms, I'm an engineer, not the aviation type though. I do work with a lot of ejector's and eductor's for various purposes though,Wether they be Air, Steam, or Water / oil driven, the principle is the same in them. Also an orifice as a restriction, with a differential pressure gauge either side of it to enable flow measurement, you create a pressure differential from one side to the other. Funnily enough, the flow of fluid over the orifice looks exactly like a venturi, or if you could freeze it, and do a cross section, you get the Aerofoil shape.

I meant more in a simulator for actually trying it, preferably a passenger plane, much less likely to lose job and lives

Your welcome Verybumpy, Reality is a different kettle of fish, One I have never done before (I sit in the back, not the front), But certainly worked for FSX

No Fear, I don't feel picked on at all, I do feel however that it would be interesting to go inverted, And yes would have to push the nose down (up inverted) to get any lift out of the wings to invert the Aerofoil to work up again instead of pulling down to the ground, Wing dependant of course, Concorde being a different kettle of fish altogether for instance, different wing geometry, but still an Aerofoil. I would not be holding it for longer than it would take to go, yes I'm inverted, I think If i did, depsite all the myriad of systems alarms I would be expecting to hear, I would be more concerned about trying to recover before the engines failed altogether due to lack of lubrication and cooling, Hopefully the nose would come down first anyway, and manage to level the wings. Interesting to know if any real pilots have tried this, or intend to now try this in a real simulator? lol, and if so, can we have a video of it? Not all of what i said above was incorrect lol. But bits, yes, http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/how-wings-really-work

Just looked at the book, And yes the first example is correct if you are using a flat Asymetrical object as a wing, However, when perfectly Horizontal it will not generate lift, only when an angle of attack is applied to the Aircraft. An Aerofoil shaped wing when it is not Asymetrical as mentioned in my previous comment, will generate lift without introducing an Angle of attack to the Aircraft.

Err actually, It does have a lot to do with how the wing works, introducing a shape (Usually curvature) on the top side of the wing means the air takes longer to transit the same distance as the air travelling below the wing, This does not mean they meet up at the same time at the end of the wing either. This introduces a low pressure on the top side of the wing essentially sucking the plane up once the force is greater than the weight it has to lift. All the extras you can add merely alter this shape, in the case of an Asymetrical wing then an Angle of Attack needs to be introduced to make the wing generate lift (lengthening the top side). This is also how Eductors / Ejectors work, essentially 2 wings opposing each other creating a low pressure after the curve, where suction can be taken from

I think the simple answer to this question is yes, The extended answer is Not for very long. The Fuel tanks suctions are fixed bottom tank, as are the bypass suctions for Taking suction directly using the engine driven pumps. So you get to use what's left in the pipework essentially. The hydraulic resevoirs are not designed to work upside down, so expect to lose hydraulics rather quickly, once you have used anything in the accumulators that's it. There are few other things that generally do not like being upside down, for instance the Engine Lubrication system.

Update, Rather than me yabbering about it, gave it a go instead. using the Aerosoft Twin Otter - 300. Scenario, Runway 20, Wind 110 30kts gusting to 36kts, wind shear on, turbulence heavy. 1 Touch and go, 1 Full stop landing. Okies, Touch and go, came in at 100kts, not bad, but tough getting it on the ground, Flaps 10, some rudder control. Full Stop Landing run, Approach 90kts, tried 70kts, at that point the rudder was no use, so settled for 80kts. Relatively easy to hold heading in, Okay to touch down, idled the engines a few feet above the ground. It's been a long time since I flew this one, so forgot she could reverse. Straight line on centre line, straight down, full reverse, nose wheel steering, light braking to steer, It slows that fast though, not much correction required.

Not a full on crosswind, a lot of head wind on this one too, no fun for passengers though, but at that point you don't care anyway, and just want to love the ground again

In the video the wind is 30kts, with an Airspeed of 46kts, not a lot to maneuver with, even if you had to make that landing for real, I think the only way round it would be with power, and hope you don't get a strong gust that knocks you over. Re my above post, might even consider pulling the flaps up, and just relying on the wings. Thereby you are counteracting some of the crosswind component and not crabbing as much in one direction for when it's time to straighten out, the last piece is rapidly slowing down so you pass through the phase where you are likely to be blown sideways by the wings wanting to lift still. I have only been in 1 real approach where the pilot gunned it, in an Embraer 135, so slightly more power anyway and faster approach, but runway length wasn't so much an issue, that will hold you back if you know can't slow down in time

There's always the missile approach, Full flap, High Speed, as above in that situation, left wing down slightly, force yourself onto the runway, then throttles back as required to hold the direction, as soon as you are happy with the direction, throttle down, brake hard, hard rudder / differential braking as necessary, bush the nose down into the ground. It won't be pretty or nice on the plane, but will get you down if you have no choice but to land there.

2. Hit ' . ' (Full Stop) on the Number Pad to Centre Forward the view

I use the Dell 30" at full resolution, and would never go back personally. Instruments are clear to read from the pilot/co-pilot position, and much clearer seeing long distance for VFR.

At least on the DC9 you used the mirrors and the Compass was just above behind the Annunciator panel, so bigger and easier to see at that distance.

It's to do with Modelling, It needs to be set up there. FSX was only meant to take lights on / off inside, for everything. If you want individual sides, centre, overhead, instrument, then this makes the model more complex, and the programming.
