To personally answer your first point.

Price doesn’t ALWAYS come into the decision.

I’m a firm believer in the old saying… “You get what you pay for”.

My first consideration is Airline reputation. And along with a good reputation comes the good service and entertainment anyway, so these points are covered within this criteria.

For the second point.

“Market Orientated”…

The way the current market climate is, they have to be don’t they?
I mean, you have to try and do somethings a little better than your competitors in order to compete.
I should say the most market orientated are the ones that regularly appear on the top of the annual “Best Airline League Tables”.
For the least, your probably looking towards some of the Lo-Co’s.

Also, as Moggy has pointed out, if your tickets are for business, then you sometimes don’t get a choice. Certainly I’m just told that I’ll be flying to “here and there” on “This” airline.
And the ticket is thrust into my hand.

Just my interpretation. 😉

I originally posted this in the screenshots forum, because of the conversation at the time, but here is probably more apropriate.

So appologies for the double post… 😮

Just downloaded the FSX demo myself.
Only took 22 mins , it’s good to having 8Meg BB.

Thanks for the link.

One question though, if I may…

Will the demo interfere with, or up-set my FS9 installation?

Because of all the add-ons I’d rather not have to un-install that or have it screwed up.

Also the spec stated to run FSX doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
I know that you are (according to Microsoft) supossed to be able to run FS2004 on a Pentium 2, and we all know that’s no good.

But I would have thought that most users here would be able to cope with FSX without too many problems.

Don’t forget it’s still only a demo at the moment, I would suspect the final release will be improved.

Crikey… What am I saying? This is Microsoft I’m talking about. 😀

I don’t think there can be any better aircraft than the British Airways 767-300! 😉

Oh! I dunno… Hmmmmm…

A 744 in BA Chelsea Rose colours, that does it for me. 😎

And make sure your trim is set correctly. 🙂

So i was wondering if any one has ever flown on these awesome aircraft??

C’Mon Luke mate.

What kind of question is that?

Not everyone on the forum is a young whippersnapper:p , there are a good few of us that have been around long enough to have flown on many “Older” aircraft.

One of the most impressive (if you can call it that) things about the old Trident was the “Moving Paper Map”, with a little airplane on it, in the middle of the instrument panel.
I had a cockpit visit (Anyone remember them?) on a flight LHR to Edinburgh whilst I was in the cadets.

When I told my Son they had a “Moving Map” on a paper roll, he thought I was taking the p1$$. :rolleyes:

No GPS back then… 😀
