Does anyone use Traffic Toolbox SDK, for MSFS? If so, you know that you use "TrafficDatabaseBuilder.exe" to create/change the traffic parameters. But every time I click on "TrafficDatabaseBuilder.exe" nothing will come up. Command lines are supposed to appear. Can anyone help me? ;-) Sincerely,B. Glass

Take a five minute ride in an RC jet at 180 mph. The camera in the plane works really great. Listen to Satch and soar!http://www.rcdon.com/html/the_jet-cam_project.htmlThis gent lives near me and is a friggin' genius. Smart too.Check out the turbojet and turboshaft engines he built and the turbine powered car that he drives around. Very VERY high quality design and fabrication all around.Glenn'Maintain thy airspeed, lest the ground rise up and smite thee.'

There is a neat video on http://flightlevel350.com/viewer.php?id=3327&rating=yesthat shows the Globemaster using reverse thrusters and backing up a couple hundred feet. That is neat. Some craft can easily use reverse to back up

Hi everyone,My name is Chris Donaldson, I'm 19 years old, and live in Dunedin, New Zealand. I enjoy FS, msn, internet, aviation and catching up with friends.I first got flight sim 2002 about 2 years ago, and things just took off from there. I've flown around various parts of the world, but most of my flying is done in new zealand on vatsim.I'm looking to extend into the world of Scenery Design for New Zealand, and I would like to know what the best program to use is.I look forward to getting to know most of you.Cheers,Chris.

Just wondering if anyone will be attending Embry-Riddle U at Prescott this fall 2004? If so, post or email me....thanks[div align=center][link:www.jetdoc.com/STO/]Visit The Bookstore & Gift Shoppe][/b

Can anyone please give me any information on flying boats / float planes that are available for trip / charter. We live in the UK so need to work outwards from there. I have a feeling we may have to go to the US or Canada but would like somewhere closer to home. It's for my wife's birthday present for 2007.Thanks

For those who haven't seen the news or read it online, the shuttle launch was scrubbed due to a faulty fuel reading. Looks like next week is the earliest for a retry.-JohnEdit--after my posting, the launch date was changed to Sat.

Hi all, I was a little suprised to learn that Continental Airlines had 74s, but when I checked airliners dot net, their most recent picture of a COA 747 was from 1995. Does anybody know if they still fly these?Thanks,Jeff

There is understandable confusion about copyright and patents, which is not surprising because different jurisdictions have different requirement. In view of some other recent threads, I've made some notes on copyright and patents, mainly from a UK perspective. Note that I'm not a lawyer so these comments are my own understanding of the situation and come without any warranty.COPYRIGHTCopyright exist as soon as something that can be protected is created and recorded in some way, eg on paper, on film, via sound recording, as an electronic record on the internet, etc. In the UK, and most jurisdictions, there are no official registers for copyright. So, there is no need to t…

OK, I need help. :-zhelpI want to hear if you perfer Song or Ted. I am helpless on this topic and want to hear some opinions. I would have to travel to another airport because I live near DTW. Appreciate it

Hi all,I am deeply saddened to say that the airshow authorities of 15 Wing MooseJaw, Saskatchewan, Canada have confirmed two pilots have been killed during their performance. They say it was during the Masters of Disaster performance.I was watching the team do their manouvers when the collision happened. This site will live in my Heart forever.My prayers and thoughts go out to their families, and may GOD help you get through this.Thanks all for listening,

Check this out you guys! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4675413.stm

Can anyone recommend a good flight school somewhere in the NYC area? Thank you.

Hi,Just wonder where I can find DC9 & DC10 cockpit DVDs?Have done some search on Just Planes site, without success. :-(But there has to be other companies with cockpit DVDs,...or...?Fly safe, Staffan AhlbergSweden/Stockholm/ESSAhttp://www.scandicair.com/images/dc9_banner.jpg"I will come and cut your lawn for a high quality DC8-63 system"[/color]My specs are:Dell Dimension 4600 P4/3.0 Ghz1024 Mb DDR333 Dual channel memory (2x256,1x512)128 Mb ATI Radeon 9800 ProOmega 2.5.58DirectX 9.0cW XP Home with SP1E171FPb Flat panel monitor 17"240Gb (2x120) 7200rpm HD

Greetings all!In a thread that was locked due to Staffan's dumbly self-fulfilling prophecy, JohnCi posted:"(...) I was almost killed in Switzerland by a sudden storm in Grindlewald (...)"That makes two of us, John! Only for me it wasn't a sudden storm, but loosing my footing and bouncing head over heels some 30 or 40 meters down towards the bottom of the Gletscherschlucht of either the Oberer or the Unterer Grindelwald Gletscher. I forgot which one, because it's fourty years ago now: I was 19 at the time, and at that age one isn't easily scared or impressed. Seems to be a killer town, Grindelwald. That same vacation I had a couple (well... actually a lot!) of beers with t…

I am saddened that the original thread I started on this subject has had to be locked. I will say no more, but only think of those killed and injured and those close to them.

If anyone happens to be going to IFC Blackpool this weekend, feel free to come over to the Flight One stand to say hello and take a look at the new 727-100 and 200 Super 27'shttp://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...BANNER_PAUL.jpg

It's now reported that there were only three explosions on the Underground. They apparently ocurred between stations so that the blast effects of each explosion travelled through the tunnels to adjacent stations, giving rise to the earlier confusion.

Looks like your wish came true Victor:-) CheersDan

So when did North West drop the Orient?Anyone remember the commercial?JimCYWG

Perhaps this is the wrong forum (if so, I'll re-post). I'm a regular contributor to this forum and have been doing FS since the beginning. I've traveled all to many parts of the world (Europe / Asia, etc.) in real life, as well as simulation, but I found out today that I'll be going to South Africa in October. I live in Allentown, Pa. so I'll probably use KPHL or KEWR for departure. This will be an awards trip and my wife and I will be going together.WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU EXPERIENCED Pilots give me? Should I stop somewhere for a few days en route....and WHERE? I hear it's a grueling 15 hour flight. What airlines would you choose, and what planes should I try to arrange to …
