Be careful when asking...

Originally posted by: Merlin of Flyote Originally posted by: duack Actually, there was a similar incidient a few years ago that I saw on air crash investigations. A plane from NY to Paris just dissappeared. That one was caused by a leak in the fuel tank and a spark from damaged wiring causing an explosion which caused the plane to explode with no warning - no even enough time to send a mayday signal. It could've been that, or an accidental military strike, which they also investigated in the show. quote> Something like this may have happened, lightening causing fuel to ignite perhaps. If it was a military somebody would know. quote> That was a TWA 747 though. This is a wide body Air France a330-203. Yes, they both happened in the Atlantic, but the 747 was seen crashing and the a330 wasn't. It seems highly unlikly. Again, why not use the locater beacon? It works under water as well. If there was an explosion though, it might not work. I fell very sorry for the families. Best of luck to all of you through this tough time.

If you want realism, don't build in you city area, but in another town. then connect it via highway or road. There, you should have a solution to your issue. Hope this helps!

Well, lightning isn't good, but it won't harm the aircraft. I honestly believe that a surge from the lightning could be a cause, but an electrical failuree, with loss in cabin pressure at 35,000 ft can result in death. At night, you have no light to see, and no light with no electricity, no way to see your instraments. It could be human error, but what annoys me is that the plane has a locater beacon thing, so why not use it?

To me, this entire issue is being looked at the same way H1N1 (a.k.a. Swine Flu) was veiwed. Its something thats "so bad" and that we are all going to die. I really think N.K. is just trying to say that we aren't just a little communist country that has no impact on the world. They don't have the guts to fire one anyway. And if they did, they probally would shoot one into the ocean or something, and that would kill some people anyway. But one thing is for sure in my mind, this isn't going to be something thats going to destroy the world, but if it gets out of hand, than WWIII might be the result. And that would really suck. Would N.K. try to destroy the world, probally not, but they are not the most open country anyway. I bet you not a lot of the population of N.K. knows about this, or I could be wrong for they HATE and I do mean HATE Americans. If this happens, we aren't all screwed, but we aren't all safe either. One way or another, they will try to scare us. And if the U.S. isn't their first target, it could be the next.

Hey everyone. Got a question for you all. Well all know about the texture problems for the new interchanges that were included with NAM. A bit annoyed about it, but is there anything htat could be done to fix this? Just asking. But anyway, I haven't posted anything in a while, and I would like to say that things have changed around here. Starting out with regular SimCity interchanges put together, to complex custom interchanges that use a variety if diffrent roads, highways, and custom addons. I really am suprised of everything you guys have made. The detail is amazing, and its really cool. Just wanted to tell you guys about how much this has changed (in my eyes).

It could displace a heck of an amount of water. Approx. the same amount of displacement if you dropped a 747 in a box from about 30-40 thousand feet above sea level. And yes, 747 are HUGE. Edit: Speed wise, 8.82 km/s is blisteringly fast, commpared to the Concorde which only went 1 mile every 2 seconds.

Yeah I can see how that it would be cool, but think about it, is it that necesary? I believe its a bit too much, and the interchanges will be complex. It may be cool, but a pain as well. And the picture of the one way elevated highway in the middle and a two way two lane highway on the ground seems a bit too much. You really don't need a shoulder on both sides, and its seems a bit unreasonable. But yet again, it is a cool idea.

And I believe that these are all custom buildings BUILT yourself. But I doubt that. Honestly, is there a height limit for a building like Sim City 3000? I've built many building for 3000, but there was a height limit.

I would really like to drive a car through that!! Its stinkin sweet. How long did it take to build?
