Boeing previously said that a thrust reverser deployed in flight could NOT cause a crash. They then tested it and were proven right - at slow speed. When they tested it at altitude and cruise speed the result was one hell of an in flight upset. The tests were carried out after this crash...

I was thinking this as well. 3 minutes is a very long time in the case of a problem unfolding but a very short time when your senses are heightened. I'm assuming that everything on ACARS also appeared on the displays in front of the pilots I'd assume that they spent these three minutes...

Nicely done! Thank you ADSWNJ!

This is allegedly the ACARS transmission from the aircraft just before it vanished from radar.

So far the reports are: A fireball in the air It vanished from radar It made sharp turns It didn't make any course changes There was a distress call There was no distress call There was a fight on board A bomb So, lots of speculation. At least the authorities know where the debris field is...

This game is seriously fun and it's very easy to get lost inside it after starting to explore.

Please remember that ALL the staff here are volunteers and as such, our time can be diverted elsewhere. We do try and respond as quickly as possible but sometimes we hit that "perfect storm" where we are busy with work or family commitments.

Yes. If it had been hijacked a quick response may have prevented a disaster. Even an RJ-85 can cause mass destruction. If (as in this case), it was a false alarm then it's a good exercise for the fly boys.

I saw this on twitter yesterday. It's flight path was "unusual".

Did you have an MFD that was trying to fire one of the Arrow's engines?

It was probably the first program to feature a computer person in a lead role, after all, Avon was arrested for hacking the federation bank.

Ah damn. That's sad news. The federation couldn't get him but age did. RIP.

I love this game, I can lose myself in it for hours.

Deeply worrying. NASA have still not learnt the lessons of Challenger or Columbia.

Planet/Dwarf Planet/Big rock..... whatever it's called won't change the fact that it's a fascinating world. I look forward to seeing images of other fascinating worlds out past Pluto, Sedna especially.

Same. I'm still planning out missions and crew swaps. One of the most fun missions I had was a simple test run, launch a cargo from Ascension and land it at Woomera - this was a test of something I want to send to Mars. I shipped a whole load of equipment from Ascension to Woomera and used UCGO...

Google MSVCR100.dll, download it and pop it into your orbiter directory.

Too late. David screwed up with this one. You buy Elite and then have to pay full price for what is early access DLC. No thanks. I'm quite annoyed at Frontier over this.

Looking good, I like. Nice to have something for my EVA UMMUanauts to do!
