There is an awful lot of rubbish being posted about the A330 accident right
now.
Despite the release of some information I am sure we haven't got the lot.
For example why is the bomb issue so firmly discounted by Airbus simply on
the basis of 24 ACARS signals? And why are they replacing ASI sensors in
such a rush now when the replacement program was already in place?
Weather radar is brilliant for detecting rapidly forming CuNims because they
contain a lot of water droplets. Some of the tropical storms are more
established and the water content is much lower - they are full of ice
crystals which are far less effective in reflecting radar pulses.

Just to give an idea of the potential offered by a wide aspect screen,
below is a link to a shot of a simplified version of the panel I'm
building. The PFD is just the FS9 Lear version, not the one I'll use in
FSX. Also a couple of Lear sourced switchgear pieces are still missing.
Next step is to increase the size of PFD and EICAS, so that they occupy
all but a vertical strip to the right of the screen. That strip can be
used to accomodate the other gauges.
In a normal display of a panel displaced to its own monitor, I have more
space available than when panel and scenery have to occupy the same
screen. Even then, the gauges still appear as though being viewed
through the wrong end of a telescope. With a wide screen it's going to
be possible to get almost life sized gauges. I'll still be able to use
my existing second panel monitor, as now, to display FSC.
BTW, in the discussions on theoretical causes of the Airbus tragedy,
most seem to be discussing the various ways in which the storm might
have contributed. None seem to be asking why it was in the storm in the
first place. They all have weather radar, so you would expect it to have
routed around it. Or am I missing something?
