I was thinking that M$ might sue them for using FS9
for commercial purpose or something
:roll: :roll: calling it a special program and not
giving M$ the credit
thanks for the call on the default 737 panel

:roll: ain't it the truth
and the upgrade FS put out in FSX looks like a lot of stuff I allready have added in FS9
Now I have to go wash my mouth out with soap for bringing that subject up in this thread :doho:
oopps
and that 737 default panel
you'd think they'd know the FS comunity would pick
it off in no time.
besides the only way would be in an Factory built training simulator surley it was used as a quick substitue
it was a good vision tool for the masses
......just you know , a bit insulting for those in the know

I think there could be many related questions; do the ATC not have a ground radar which would have noticed they were in the wrong place? is there not a gravel trap or something similar at the end of the runway to arrest over-running aircraft? what caused the aircraft to burst into flames? did the cabin trim catch fire and generate noxious smoke?
A certain person might claim we are straying into the realms of a certain other forum which was criticised elsewhere on here and they may have a point. Most of my above questions however are all things that exist elsewhere or that have arisen in other accidents.
Obviously the public doesnt get accurate information step by step as it becomes available to the investigators, so those with a strong moral/ethical sense prefer to wait until the report has come out. Obviously there are times when these things arent black & white however and some debate as to the cause is healthy. As long as the debate is sensible and for the purpose of determining the cause to as to be able to take reasonable precautions to prevent the same thing reoccurring, rather than a childish, ghoulish set of speculations based on incomplete or inaccurate 'evidence' then I think there is merit to it.
