Hello,Where do I find some good international airport diagrams like the ones you get from NACO. I would like airports like Sydney, Bangkok, Amsterdam, etc. I am hoping to put together an avsim package of all the major airports in a certain region, country, area etc. and i would need airport diagrams to begin.Thanks in advancePatrick

Hi,I am a little surprised to find no posts about the new 787 cockpit video...http://www.newairplane.com/en-US/FunStuff/...7FlightDeck.htmDoesn't show too much... but looks interesting... check out the MCDU's...Paul

G'Day all, I am currently doing some work on adding AI to Tijuana on FS2004, I have seen on Airliners.net pictures of an airline Aerolineas Internacionales, I 'googled' it and found it was closed down in the early 2000's. Some of the pictures were from later than the date I read. Does anyone know if this airline is still flying or does it indeed no longer exist. Thanks.

I thought I'd pass this on. Has anyone seen it?www.theaviarymovie.com

......when you download a skin for an aircraft for Flight Sim, and notice the aircrafts reg on the skin is the aircraft you just spend most of last night taking bits off and fixing! I'm an engineer and have found a few aircraft paints that are the actual aircraft we look after at work! (BMI Baby 737s and MyTravel A320s!)Anyone else have a similar kind of thing?

Hi Gang.I am trying to back up my favourites for Firefox, but can't find them, unlike IE6 which is easy,anyone know where they are stored pleasethanks,

I wonder if it's possible to edit the FS2004 and have the program's ATC to use real procedures. Should be only a coordinate's matter, isn't it ?

I was in a iFDG A321 on the runway and just as I started spooling up the engines for the takeoff-roll my washing machine in the kitchen started its spin-cycle.It sounded perfect..what timing.I looked on the back but theres only an outlet for hot water...no USB port.

Here are some links about the plane which flew with half of its wing missing!"A Dozy pilot flew his plane for two hours before he noticed that five-and-a-half feet of one wing had been torn off by a tree on take-off. The Irish pilot told investigators he thought he had been "struck by a little bird" on takeoff in his five-seater Cessna 210.But despite two of the three passengers being top flight engineers on their way to fix a Boeing 767, no one noticed that half the left wing, containing one fuel tank, was missing. The unnamed pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Jersey International Airport two hours later after he finally spotted the fuel gauge plummeting t…

If anyone has access to Aviation Week & ST should run to grab the last issue (Aug.8) and read amazing story (page 60) of a guy who survived a total breakup of his SR-71 at speed Mach 3.2. His buddy was killed. The breakup occured as a result of chain of events that started with so called "inlet unstart" - sudden disturbance of airflow coming into the engine due to a turn and bank. The guy never initiated ejection - he blacked out while tremendous positive and negative forces ripped him out of the aircraft with seat belt and shoulder harness still fastened. When he regained consciousness he was already well into the fall from 70,000 ft.It happened on Jan 25.,1966 over …

Can anyone tell me what gate a United 777 would park at in Washinton Dulles? I've done some research but all I can find is that UAL parks at the C and D Concourses. I need this information for a project at Embry-Riddle, so any information would be great. Here is the flight information: UAL914 departs IAD at 1745 (local) and arrives in LFPG at 0720 (local).

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!Does anyone know offhand the value of pi rounded off to the 100,000th place??? It's really important.Thanx in advance.

On another forum I frequent, two people have said that they saw airliners push back from the gate by making use of thrust reversers. I find that hard to believe. Wouldn't it blow debris at the terminal windows and probably suck debris into the engines?I'm betting that someone here at avsim can provide an authoritative answer.

Can anybody remember which aircraft and airline did the first ever nonstop from Los Angeles or San Francisco to London? For years, it seems, I was sure that the Boeing 707-320 or -400 series was already doing this in the mid or late-Sixties, but now that I re-read the stats on those a/c, I am not at all sure. I thought I was certain that the 707 was doing this nonstop route (of about 4800nm) before the 747 went into service.Appreciate posts, thanks!JS

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!A real world pilot gave some tongue in cheek advice about IFR navigation. Can't see, don't know where you are, descend. Still can't see, descend more. Still can't see? Descend more, till finally you're not flying, you're driving. Then call AAA and get some use outa your membership...Seems like this aproach would work better in FS in Kansas with very sparse scenery and no autogen than the real world, but I thought it was funny."Medium size airport with Cessna 152 overhead, identify yourself!!!"

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!There have been some strong opinions and feelings have been running high for years, which came to the surface as Airbus rolled out the A380. You know, government subsidised versus free enterprise. Airbus doesn't have to pay back loans to develop the A380 etc... First off, did Chrysler have to pay back their bailout loan? They did, but how many American corporations haven't? The government giving money to corporations is not just an EU phenomenom. And what about tax breaks/economic development incentives on the federal, state and local level in the U.S.?? And suppose Airbus doesn't pay back a cent of the taxpayers money? They will almost cer…
