Sitting reserve... And no, that's not me in the pic. :-\

SWEET!!! :D

Well, if this guy/gal is a pilot with time in a "real MU-2" then he/she would know about the roll trim aka aileron trim... Speaking as someone with well over 1,000 hrs in MU-2's the X-Scenery version is amazingly realistic. Next to the lack of stale coffee, the funk of wet cardboard boxes all mixed with the slight aroma of fuel and oil she's pretty much spot on!

;D ;D ;D

Arsenic Life Is Nice; Living Clouds Are Nicer Ok, now we have arsenic life. But here's a much wilder thought: How about living clouds? I assume you've read the news. To life as we know it, with carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur and phosphorous, we can now add life with arsenic. Dr. Felisa Wolfe-Simon fed a little bacterium daily doses of the dread element, and the little guy slurped it up, chucked most of its phosphorous, and became an arsenic-creature. "It's a really nice story about adaptability of our life form," chemist Gerald Joyce told the New York Times, "It gives food for thought about what might be possible in another world." Well, here's one possibility. The otherwise sane and respected astrobiologist David Grinspoon has been considering that under the right circumstances, clouds could become living things. With intelligence, even. Carl Sagan thought so, too. A living thing, it is thought, needs to feed, grow, copy and evolve and persist. It needs some kind of shape. Clouds can do all that, says David Grinspoon. Though they look hazy and random here on Earth, they contain levels of order, they hold themselves together, they move around, they have routines. They can, in theory, produce increasingly complex forms of themselves. Says Grinspoon: http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2010/12/03/131783352/arsenic-life-is-nice-living-clouds-are-nicer

??? ??? ??? Seems second tree to me...

It appears that NASA has discovered a microbe on Earth able to thrive and reproduce using the toxic chemical arsenic. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/universe/features/astrobiology_toxic_chemical.html So I guess my question is,,,, is this a second tree of life on Earth or just some little critter that has developed the ability to use arsenic is this manor?

Lots of people theorizing that they've discovered arsenic on Titan and detected chemical evidence of bacteria utilizing it for photosynthesis. Not as sexy as ET's DVD collection but wild nonetheless.

I know its not X-Plane or SIM related, but this could be interesting, if not exciting!

NASA Sets News Conference on Astrobiology Discovery; Details Embargoed Until Dec 2 WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2010/nov/HQ_M10-167_Astrobiology.html

If you want to keep programming lite... Then how about this little guy? http://images3.jetphotos.net/img/1/6/6/7/41104_1061508766.jpg

:o

Wait... my ex-wife works for ya'll??? :o

Mac.xpl plug-in in the plugins/JGX_C400v1.2 folder... do I need to copy it into X-Planes main plugin folder? Couldn't find any mention to it in any of the documentation. ???

Putting your G1000 into a Citation Mustang would be awesome! ;D

Oh man! This is a must! A high quality Eclipse 500 for X-Plane, sweet! ;D ;D ;D

Thanks, was just curious if things had changed or if it was just on hold.

Hows the update coming along?

They operate a fleet of over 120 CRJ's 200ER's and some 900's IIRC.

There is no telling what kind of other software he's running in the background, plus I'm sure there is also miles and miles of "debugging code" running as well.. All would certainly bring FPS to its knees...

I've been flying all along. I was a "victim" of the Sept 11, aviation industry downturn. Took me a few years to get back into a flying job and I currently work with a freight company flying MU-2's.
