Re: [expert] [OT] but , just had to share it
oh that not so bad. I was on an upgrade flight where the wings were of
different designs but different companies,
this cause the plan to fly an a 30 defer and angle. When we landed we were
105 miles form our designation and had
a choice of taking the Mac airlines,back where you go hot towels, cut they
are all the same color and are two short to cover
your private areas or we could stay and work on the WINE project for no pay,
but first dibs on new release.

I can sympathize with that one. I once installed Shadow Seating on a running
airplane and all the other passengers disappeared, plus the pilot turned into a
giant turnip. I got the pilot back by landing the plane myself, booting into a
single user flight and running punconv ("pilot un-convert" I think). I never
could make the passengers come back though. Very sad, very sad.

The "seat" man page is pretty good, but the "Flotation_Devices_FAQ" has a surprising amount of decent information. One HOWTO you should definitely look into is the PIS-HOWTO (PIS; Plane Information Services); it allows you to have the same seat on every plane, and when used with SeatFS, you can even have the seat preadjusted for you, and you always get the same spot in the plane. I've had problems getting PIS to work with Shadow Seating, but others tell me they've had no problems at all. Maybe it's an SME (Symmetric Multi Engine) problem. Oh yeah, try Sambair; it let's you use your Linux or UNIX seats on a Windows or NT plane, and when they crash, you don't die. Plus, oddly enough, you always get where you're going faster. -- Lee Burnside -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~tljlb/ "Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage." --The Bard

There have been great efforts (and even greater threads about it in the news) to apply a standard so everybody could bring his own tools. But then again one airline made small adjustments to it's users needs (or so they say) and their seats can't be set up following another airline's HOWTO. Another airline released a new plane and suddenly the way the seats are installed changed completely. They claim to be following a certain standard which was severely discussed afterwards in the news (discussion still goes on). An other airline does not hand out tools or HOWTOs. They let the passengers install their seats just following their individual likes. Spokesman stated that "We are a free airline and our passengers may use our equipment as they like!" All this is confusing but not so important an issue. It will definitely get into an important stage when the main supplier of the airplane's machines will decide to build only paragliders for the rest of his life :-) BTW: Great thing, Axalon!
