How do you open and close the cargo bay in Orbiter?

Is anyone having trouble logging onto the members only section of the website? I joined last week and have not been able to access this part of the website. I know things are in a bit of disarray because of Oshkosh but that was four days ago. Thanks!Whiskey Tango

Hello all,Whenever I scroll through the file library I always stop and read what's new in Orbiter.I thought I would give it a try and was wondering if someone out there (or UP there) could lead me to the original version, any updates/upgrades,etc., just anything to get me started.Thanks,

My flight sim was working fine then I tried to install flight deck 3 and it says my version is not current and shuts down the fsuipc.dll file. Now after I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall flight sim that doesn't work. Help

I guess it's the dream of most of us simmers to be able to fly a real airliner - just to see if our computer learned skills are sufficient for the real thing. Since this is hardly possible without an ATPL and a big purse, a Level-D full-motion simulator would be the next best thing. Unfortunately, these are still quite expensive and you won't get more than an hour of flying time in these multi-million dollar training devices.Well, I had the once-in-a-lifetime chance of flying several Level-D sims at Lufthansa's flight training facility in Frankfurt. During the last days, I collected a total of 5.5 flying hours in the Airbus 320, 330 and the MD-11 :-hah"How did that son of…

So it seems. Read somewhere that since the beginning of time, ~ 10'000 years ago, 50 million people have been through this earth. Isn't the whole world a burial ground?http://abclocal.go.com/wls/news/072805_ns_..._expansion.htmlJimCYWG

Since real BOEING pilots are suppose to sit for several hours, is there a place for them to put their coffee cup. You know what I mean. It's a 777 but anyways look here on the right towards the bottom of the photo. Looks uncomfortable or is the cup empty?http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=8857...&sok=&photo_nr=JimCYWG

If 30 hours is looked at as "obsessive" I am in 'Big Trouble". ;)

This ones' way OT as far as aviation goes... Not even in the ballpark. LOL...Anyway. Avaition isn't my only hobby/intrest. I belong to a car club here, and we needed a website. So I threw a little something together. But I not sure if I have a problem with my IE6 or not. Everytime I try to mouse over the nav bar to click a page change I get a script error and can't click. Just wondering if you can check it out. IF their is a problem, any ideas of the cause? Or what my problem could be? And don't say its IE6, get modzilla or firefox. don't want to go down that road...Thanks...EDIT: doh, might help to put the link www.808altimas.netAlso remember I'm an Airframer,…

Anyone has a list (KMZ-file) of interesting airports for Google Earth?http://www.kotiposti.net/syrjamaki/maambanner.jpg

Hi,Firstly, sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum - did a quick search and this appeared to be the most appropriate.I am currently working on creating an airline simulation game as part of a college project - I do have an interest in aviation, but i'm not an expert on a lot of things such as runway lengths, gates, terminals and so on - mainly been making educated guesses.I'm looking for some people to help me brainstorm ideas for this game - it will be released to the general public when complete, for no charge, so i'm hoping i'll pique someones interest.Thanks in advance - I can be contacted either by replying to this post, or by emailing me.Alex

Hi folks, Does anybody know how much an inertial navigation system costs in average? The ones used by airliners. I was just curious because I've heard several people saying that this is THE MOST expensive avionic inside those airplanes. Is that true?Thanks,Leo

Hi,Have been trying to find a website with airline fonts, but without success. The only thing I found are logo sites. But that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for fontnames for different airlines, such as Scandinavian Airlines 70

Microsoft are set to make a presence at Blackpool this weekend for the flight sim convention. What do you guys think the liklihood is of an official statement regarding FS2006, 07, or whatever from MS? I'd sure like to hear something from them about it.RH

They have been posted on AVSIM before, just thought I would repost for some of the new folks.just an FYIhttp://www.pilotfriend.com/this one you may have to cut and paste to form one continous link (I dont know how else to post it)http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=66205
