    Air Mauritius Video

    [this is a computer simulation of purely fictional events, it doesn't reflect real-life procedures and flying skills] Computer specs: Intel Core2Duo 3ghz 2GB DDR2 RAM GeForce 7900GS 512MB FSX without SP1 I've upgraded my graphic card, now it's 8800GTS 512MB, and FSX runs much better. /Original description/ Another rainy morning in Mauritius. At the International Airport an Air France Boeing 737-800 is waiting for IFR Take-off clearance, flight 383 to Kuwait. The weather is awful, dangerous to fly, early in the morning, pilots are pretty tired but the schedule is demanding. Fully loaded plane with 180 passangers on board is ready to go, runway 32. Unfortunately, a fire broke out shortly after take-off leading to complete electricity and engine failure... Captain cancels IFR and tries to turn back but soon he finds out that severe turbulence damaged one aileron leaving no way to save the plane... Remember - more than 3500 people have died in Boeing 737 accidents... but i still like that plane. Music: Enigma - Age of Loneliness
