You cant increase the traffic on vatsim becuase its real people talking to you, if they’re not logged on then they are not there!!
I’m not sure about the model query though, in squawkbox I see a lot of different models, and the ones squawkbox doesn’t recongise sshow as prisms/triangles.

With regard to the FMC/MCDU, you are going to need some Payware aircraft as there is very little choice of freeware that is decent.
Your FMC/CDU is all just about Flight Management by computer. A lot of the aircrafts systems are controlled by the FMC. You can tell it the aircrafts weights, and it will calculate the take off speeds (just a little more complicated than that though).
If you want to you can add my msn at [email]stokerb15@aol.com[/email] and we can have a chat, I control on Vatsim and i’m happy to help!

Pity we are back there in September and not my beloved BHX.
Yes is it a pity, for the nice workers of Newcastle airport!
Nope for both, you cant exit heathrow on foot.
And the runway usage depends upon the wind, however i think its 27L (DEPS) in the morning and at 1500Z it changes to 27R. ? IF ON 27s
09R for DEPS and 09L for ARRS IF ON 09s
All I can think is that maybe youre hitting some sort of rudder control button? Also your other concerns, I don’t think the 757s main and nose gears retract at exactly the same time.
Also, depending upon your weight I think you could get a 757 ff at 100 knots!

Thread looks dead now, looks like all us NCHellers are correct in what we are saying!
Newcastle is a brilliant airport, and as Speedbird says, it doesn’t have to cater for pax before departures, and it doesn’t! Deal with it!

I dont think FS is advanced as engine torque, though i maybe wrong.
Atreaus, do you use any sort of weather program, if so itll be the wind knocking you.
Deano, you’ve picked this thread up well, i sense an ATPL in the process?
Perhaps you could reflect your knowlege on the guys a bit more, why don’t we all (who feel confident) put together and make a document for
1. ILS approaches
2. VOR/DME approaches
3. ILS/DME approaches
4. NDB/DME approches
5. Maybe even an SRA (Surveillence Radar Approach) (controller needed)
May take a while but would be great dont you think?

**Just seen your signature Deano** Ignore my first sentence.

If your messing about, then flight time can be silly, say if you do NCL – LHR direct GPS with no weather, obviously because you dont have winds, and you don’t have to hold at one of the many LHR holds (dont get me started on OCK. But if you do it properly then like Andrew says it can 100% accurate.
