Question on Alitalia flights 8/12

Hi all,

I was booked to fly tomorrow monday from Brussels to Trieste via Rome on AlItalia (AZ 159 BRU-FCO, AZ 1361 FCO-TRS).

Yesterday evening, my travel partner got a phone call saying that our flights were cancelled. We seem to have been rebooked to fly on tuesday with SN to FCO and then with ...

For the moment, it seems that no camera's are allowed, but this could change again by september. I'm flying to Atlanta tomorrow and it will be no pictures, I guess,....

Hi,

I've flown once with Olympic (EBBR-LGAV, LGAV-LGIR and back). On the way back from Crete to Athens, the plane was late and I missed my connection in Athens. However, they put me (with some more 10 to 15 people) on the flight to Munich. When asking what they would do with us in Munich I got the ...

Hi,

imho, the problem is that 'the' airline who is flying the route without obligation will cease its service from the moment the service is no longer profitable (or worse: cancel a flight if an insufficient number of passengers has booked). The main idea to have a designated carrier is precisely ...

Hi all,

I think we should be careful about the "passenger" argument. I'm pretty sure half of the people that are flying have no idea about the aircraft they're flying with. So I am pretty sure that a lot of passengers won't even *know* that the plane they're flying with is Russian built. It's ...

hi,

just a thought regarding fs crashing: make sure you have installed the latest drivers for your videocard. I once was having *a lot* of problems with fs crashing after I bought a new videocard. Problems vanished a few months later when new drivers were available.

And yes, you can save your ...

To install the project-ai files, you:

1) download the "installer" and install this file as you would install any windows application

2) download the desired packages and unzip them onto your hard disk (you get a bunch of .pai files)

3) run the installer, select the packages from the location on ...

Hi,

I basically stopped flightsimming about a year ago (time constraints) so I don't know any of the new stuff but in my opinion the best general scenery (no airport) improvement one can get is by installing mesh scenery. Mesh scenery is basically just realistic height-data. It is relatively ...

Hi,

you can get pedal steering by turning the joystick (or use 0 and <enter> on the numeric keypad). For this to work, you must disable the option that coordinates rudder movement when you bank the aircraft (don't know the exact name of the option but it is in the section "realism").

Have fun!

Although I doubt wireless would be a good idea, getting the entertainement system more centralised or the boxes smaller should technologically be feasible.

However, I feel that one of the major issues might be just "certification". Even if nowadays technology permits the creation of a more ...

I too think that it is a video driver problem. Make sure that a) you have updated your Windows XP (run windowsupdate, although I think XP does this automatically) and b) get the latest drivers for your videocard.

Good luck,

If I'm correct, departures are less affected by fog than landings, but they are not completely unaffected. If the airport is under minima for landing, that means that a departing aircraft cannot return to it in case it would need to.
