The seats move forward during flight, they're just in the position when getting in/out of them

great photos, would be nice if everything in the cockpit had the ability to tell you what this and that did. Also a zoom function in there would be great,.
I flew to Sydney on one. It was comfotable. The one in the photo is the one which the engine went bad on. The tail camera is great, until its gets dark then all you see is a strobe. Its werid going down the runway as they don't speed up very quickly. it feels like you've been going down the runway for a minuet and your still only doing 30mph, your thinking there can't be much runway left. Then somehow it takes off.

Been on it about six times.
The flights to Australia with Singapore on the A380 are cheaper than Virgin using the old crap planes.
I always reserve upstairs seats also for an extra 30 quid. Exit seats so I have about 6tf leg room! Row 80 or 81 I think!

Pan around keeping LMB pressed. To zoom in/out use scrollwheel.

Alas...... I doubt my comfortable lifestyle could afford to travel in that class on a regular basis..
In the end it's still a tin can.
If you've done enough airmiles on business on a regular basis, it's just another tin can. I did LHR(mon)->Dubai(tues,wednesday)->Qtar(thurs)->Manilla(friday)->Hong Kong(mon)->LHR... after that tip I was glad to have business class for the legs after Dubai. However it's the flat bed-seat on the 747 for the 14 hour flight back (12 spent unconscious) rather than the plane itself that's impressed me

My Father in-law manages the manufacture of the winglets for these, with the engines being assembled across the workshop.
They don't have a flight engineer anymore. That laptop is not for flight use.
No more amazing than force feedback on an xbox 360 steering wheel.

Yes, it's another tin can but if you fly regularly enough, the smallest of differences can make the flight much more pleasant. Newer aircraft bring lower noise levels, better ambient lighting, better quality air, better temperature control, no rattles or squeaks. My regular airline has an ancient fleet and it's really getting on my goat. I'm holding out for new aircraft though
Oh i am sure its very well simulated, i am just saying that it blows my mind, its akin to driving a car with a stick. I am sure given the chance in a stick controlled plane i'd learn it and understand it fine, but having never experienced it....
They open the window.
It's very easy, atleast as easy as the control column. I found it much easier even using the left hand from the captains seat.
It leaves them the other arm to fap, instead of the two handed method on the control column. They have to do something while the computers do everything.
