You are STILL not getting it, how many more time do we have to say the same thing before it sticks between your ears?

Volcanic ash will not burn away and disintegrate like a bird will. Volcanic ash will enter a jet engine, it will go through the compressor, and it will mix with the air and fuel, when it’s ignited it will change consistency back to magma (you do know what magma is don’t you?) then it sticks together and grows in particle size within the engine before exiting the ignition stage but sticking to the low pressure turbine as it cools back down into larger pieces. You cannot design that out of a Jet Engine.

I have 😀

I’ve had my EXT-EDI-EXT-NWI-EXT flight taken off me today, and I’ve just had my EXT-NCL-HAJ-NCL-EXT flights taken from me tomorrow.

This means I get 2 extra days off where I haven’t got to travel down the M5 yipp yipp

To be honest Rick I can’t see it happening tomorrow at all. We shall see of course.

I have to say you are not endearing yourself very well here, you are full of sense – NON sense. Infact to the point where you are very naive.

Do you know what volcanic ash does to jet engines? Do you know how little injestation it takes for there to be a problem? Do you know about upper and lower winds and what happens to volcanic ash in the lower/upper atmosphere? Infact do you know the risks involved in flying anywhere near volcanic ash? I would have to say I think not.

Shall we leave your ill-informed and uneducated guesses off the forum? It may serve you better in the long run 🙂

For anyone who’s interested here is a link to today’s sig weather chart from 12:00z located here.
You will notice the North Atlantic JetStream taking the ash South East bound towards central Europe.

Notice Mt Etna is active…………again

Then if you check out the next link it is of the upper winds at FL180 for 00:00z tonight, the link is here.
Notice how at the lower level of FL180 the winds have veered and decreased, taking the ash directly over the UK and Western Europe, here-in lies the problem (EGPH)

Is not looking good in the UK this morning..

Wonder how long the ash will stay around for…….

Hopefully until about Sunday evening 😀

Mate the reason it isn’t showing is because that is actually an FS2004 aircraft, what you need to do is to make some adjustments to your panel config in your panel folder.

If you browse to

C:/program files/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/youraircraft/panel/panel.cfg

Basically open up the panel cfg in notepad, once there delete everything that’s in there then add this

[fltsim]
alias=B737_800panel

Save the config, boot up flight sim (If you haven’t already) then see if you can see it now. If not then you may have to do the same thing to the sound config, or let me look at the main aircraft config.

Enjoy them – but if the profile information is corrct you are still but a whippersnapper – getting old? Good grief…………:p

Thanks chaps

Joey, I suppose in relative terms I’m still a little puppy yet, but hey, I feel like I’m 75, I have a mental age of 12, and my body is 37. Take your pick 😉

Hey thanks guys, getting old is not something to celebrate, so I am going to try and forget about it by downing a few bevvies 😀

I still don’t get why you would make an approach if the wx was below the published minima, which would constitute an approach ban? 😉
