Hi, It's somewhat annoying having checkboxes without the ability to check them by clicking the label text - you have to move your pointer exactly over the checkbox. This is the case in the "Other great photos" section below any medium or large image (where you can check "By this photographer", "Of t...
Jump to postAs a matter of interest, here is a photo of the HondaJet departing. First HondaJet photo in the database (I was surprised there wasn't one sooner).

Jump to postHello,
I certainly find these to be the most obtrusive and obnoxious form of advertisement possible. I too wouldn’t mind pop-ups or banners, but audio ads are unacceptable. Hopefully they can be removed in a timely manner.

I am truly suprised that we haven't heard this one yet... "If the black box is the only thing that survives a crash, why don't they make the whole plane out of it?" It is always asked in such a sincere way that I just have to laugh! "Maybe it is because airlines want to eliminate ignorant passengers...
Jump to postNo, it doesn't have to be <acronym title="Air India">AI</acronym> only. Any aircraft will work in theory, but many don't have good flight characteristics or are frame rate killers if they are "normal" airplanes. All the "AI only" means is that they left some details off and/or used <acronym title="T...
Jump to postI have had a great experience so far at Mountain Air. They specialize in shorter flights, so none of those 10-hour trans-pacific wonders. You actually fly the airplanes! The website is:

Hi- If you are willing to pay, USA Roads by Flight1 is amazing - every road in the United States! It even has my little neighborhood road. Well worth the $30 price in my opinion.

Jump to postFlymia, VATSIM is a wonderful system and I highly recommend it. The hardest part is setting it up - it took me several days and frustrating hours, I remember.

Jump to postPlaneMad: There are a few resources that give tutorials on the topic. One website that is pretty good is: http://www.calclassic.com/repaint.htm .

Jump to postHello, I think it was SHIFT+E+2 when I was flying with it yesterday. This is a pretty standard key combo with aircraft with multiple doors animated separately.
