20 minutes before flight!http://www.pbase.com/ksfo/burned_dhl_767_sfo

Hi,I hope this is ok. It does pertain to aviation!I was wondering if there were a way I could make a cell ask or tell you what value to enter.I'm making a logbook that has tons of entries, so I can more easily track certain times. I want certain cells to tell or ask me, for example, total "multi time". So I can enter my multi time for that flight. I need to make it ask me a question, or interrogative thing.Any help would be AWESOME!Thanks

Can anyone tell me if someone has created a digital barometer driven altimeter gauge? I've seen some that are radar (radio). If anyone knows of an existing one, please let me know the name of it, who created it and where I can download it.Thanks,Michael

Recently there was Travel Channel broadcast called "Million Dollar Planes". I only got to the part of the show that featured a Pilatus PC-12. If I'm not mistaken, they were talking about three aircraft on the show.I'd like to know what the other planes were that were featured on the show. I've tried contacting the Travl Channel directly after looking for future airings of the program and have come up dry.So, I'm relying on the good Flight Simulator fans to let me know what the other planes were and/or the name of the company or companies that were doing the upgrades.If you can help, please let me know....thanks.

I want to publish the correspondence between Wilco and myself and allow the public to see the customer service I received. Unfortunately, you will have to read from the bottom up.Mr. Goldman,Your sentence of "Unfortunately, we can make an exception for you only" is unclear but by your tone I am assuming you meant can't, correct? I also don't understand the line of "(if a fix is required)"? What does that mean? Your technician found the fault so how could a fix NOT be required. I am really happy that you have sold …

Boeing claims that 787 will be the very first aircraft with electronic circuit breakers. Didn't Embraer E170 get them already? Anyone who can shed some light on it?Michael J.http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9320/apollo17vf7.jpg

I used to road race motorcycles. I raced AJS, Norton's, Honda's and lastly three Suzuki GSXR1100's.At those times I also always had a car/van for ferrying 'Her-in-doors' around.Eventually as I got older i couldn't afford to race any more so the motorcycles were sold.I discovered this wonderful hobby were I could 'fly by the seat of pants' instead of riding 'by the seat of of my pants'.I quickly got the sim bug and it's stuck with me ever since.I would dearly love to fly for real but now at 66 have never had the opportunity. It's so expensive in the UK and there's always something else that you need that's more important.I do love the camaraderie on here though and my foru…

Still a mystery, but one thing is certain...it's still a mystery! :-)bthttp://www.space.com/news/080630-mm-tunguska-mystery.htmlA full century after the mysterious Tunguska explosion in Siberia leveled an area nearly the size of Tokyo, debate continues over what caused it.

All,With the release of Train2, I've read that FS will have a new rendering engine. Is this true?Tim

Sad news for racing and aviation..http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,369921,00.html

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080626/wl_st...at_080626122700I've always wondered how common this is, but without it going as far. Anyone who has worked the midnight shift, that is, working nights and sleeping days (or trying to sleep and be properly rested) knows what I'm getting at. By the way, "buzzed the cockpit"...can controllers trigger a loud audio-alarm in the cockpit when they can't get the pilot's attention any other way?--Roger

After watching this "near miss" F-15 clip in youtube I think one of the men in the aircraft says something like, "that needs to be a hatter." What does that mean? Thank you.

Seems the Pinball machine and One-Arm Bandit in the lounge here, are out being repaired. But this little game can hone your skills too.Tip: Use the radar in top left hand corner to help you.http://www.rafcareers.com:80/altitude/game...game/dzgame.cfmI can only manage 64% at the moment.

I used to go to this site a lot but haven't in quite a while. I can't find it anymore. Is it still around and if so what is the address?Don

This is a dying art I know but I am curious about the error I see when navigating from VOR to VOR. As you see in the picture, I'm tracking BZM in my primary VOR and GSO in my secondary on a 264 radial. Since I'm about half way, I had just switched from flying GSO in my primary until I was sure I'm getting a good signal from BZM. When I switched, as you can see, I got full left deflection because the 264 radial of GSO is obviously not the exact one that intersects with BZM. Though I know I'm going to lose precision lifting the vector from the chart and then again when I try to dial that in each of the VORs but why am I off a full 11 degrees?One of the advantages of VOR…
