Mausermeister Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 But the second plane should be cleared to land westbound just to make sure they didn't come in one behind the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Mausermeister. Unless I figure it out first, how did you go about putting on an emoticon? A guy sent me one.

Mausermeister Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Mausermeister. Unless I figure it out first, how did you go about putting on an emoticon? A guy sent me one. 1613[/snapback] FC, If you're talking about the similies in my response, then you go to the reply screen and there is a section below the post window called "post options". Scroll down to it and check the box labeled "enable emoticons". If you are talking about my little guy with the minigun avatar, go to the homepage and click on "my controls". On the left side under "personal profile", click on "edit avatar settings". In the center of the screen will be a section called "Your image avatars". I used the option to enter the url to my online avatar to keep from tying up the forum resources, but apparently you can also upload an image directly from your PC to the forum if you want.

I even got my avatar (formerly known as icon) back! But I still ain't got the Gentleman Farmer back yet. Help? fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montea6b Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I hope I'm not talking down to anybody here, but just in case there are those who may not realize it, runways are always numbered by their magnetic heading. In other words, runway 180R would have a mag heading of 180 degrees, or due south. (They drop the last digit, so it would actually be 18R.) So, landing east or westbound on RW 18 would make it an extremely short, yet wide runway! This factoid adds to the humor. OK, blast me for stating the obvious, but I didn't know that for a long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
