The brutal circle of life.... Yet another documentary.

Both engine fan cowl doors detached during takeoff. This led to damage the airframe and a number of aircraft systems. The flight crew elected to return to Heathrow , leaking fuel from a damaged fuel pipe on the right engine which ignited and an external fire developed. The fan cowl doors detached from the aircraft during takeoff because they remained unlatched following overnight maintenance and the unlatched condition of the fan cowls was not detected prior to the flight. The technicians servicing the aircraft decided to defer a task later in their shift, but left the aircraft with the cowls closed but not latched. When they later returned to complete the task, they…

quite amazing woman good luck to her! especially when I have a job landing a sim with all limbs intact https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/feel-good/limb-itless-woman-born-without-082543962.html

OK Now I am getting excited, the sights and sounds of it is really bringing this together and to top it off Han Solo and Chewie

Hi All Finally i've settled to a new life in Australia, moving from the UK and getting back into the Flightsim world. Was wondering just how many enthusiasts there are on this forum who are Aus / NZ based ? Cheers

Blockbusters galore. And this bat-mask looks really angry to me........

Searched for Avsim amongst other things on Google Trends while wasting half an hour. Interesting site. Interesting result. https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=Avsim

Reports of an A330F crashed in Birmingham, Alabama. Flight UPS 1354 edit - Corrected the aircraft type

This is the plane in question: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?88011-Tu-144-prototype I've searched far and wide to see if this plane was ever released. I want to see if anyone can help search, and if it is out there, bring more attention to it and make it more available to download.

Just things I look up as I try to figure out how things work. Seeing all the interest in Dovetail (and its upcoming sim, of course) this was especially interesting to me in understanding the company a little better.

Hi Everyone! Thinking about replacing my worn Saitek yoke and saw Froogle's review of the YOKO yoke. Have done a search on the internet and have not found who is selling it, or the cost. Any ideas? Lennie North Carolina

Might be an interest to those of us in the states who buy a lot of Sim Parts overseas and get turned off by the conversion. Now maybe the time to pick up that plug and play overhead you been eyeballing.

On a Southwest Airlines flight:

I came across one or two Flight Unlimited 3 videos on YouTube today, and it has persuaded me to post this message here at AVSIM...... I really miss the days when I used FU3 (and the FU2 San Francisco scenery) exclusively. It was much more atmospheric and enjoyable than the versions of MSFS that were available at the time, even though the high resolution scenery regions were only a fraction of the size of the entire globe offered by Microsoft. Nevertheless, it simulated certain things really well, and there are a handful of items that have still not been surpassed! I am thinking here of the wonderful floatplane physics as my plane bobbed up and down in the water, with …

This first flight solo over the Pacific has written a new page in the history of aviation...

Hi everyone, Just had a small question: Check this video please: What is that red flashing light on the winglet at 0:33? It can't be the Nav lights as they don't flash. Is it the beacon? Aren't the beacon below the fuselage? Are they so powerful?! Thanks, Cheers

I've seen this parked inside the Associated Air hangar at Love Field for some time now and was trying to figure out what airline/owner it belongs to, as well as what make/model of plane it is. The registration number is masked as well as some other part of the tail logo. Speaking of the one with the red, white, and green tail.

Hi I am new to game, can I take number in BRG as my heading for the airport ? if it is why isn't I always have to correct my direction to line up for run way. Can you guys help what should I use for proper heading in order to line up for runway. Thank You for your help

Good morning Does Infinite Flight follow a flight plan automaticly or not? Tried several times flying with a flight plan, but the aircraft didn't follow it automaticly. I had to set indicated HDG 1 minute before manually before reaching waypoints. Thanks for your answer. Best regards Marcel

I have been noticing at FlightAware that, for transatlantic flights, such as Air Canada 872, the route is showing the North Atlantic Track as NATT, for example, instead of the individual waypoints. Is this how it is shown on the official route documents used by the flight crew? If so, how could that be used, given the variability of the track waypoint co-ordinates from day to day?
