LOL. You know, if you want to do something, I have a shitload of schoolwork to fill your time! Do you happen to know anything about fly-by-wire systems?

Flying by a wire doesn't get you very far

Sure, I know all about it (or someone does and made the info available to me).

Fly-by-wire (FBW) is a system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires (hence the fly-by-wire term), and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response. The fly-by-wire system also allows automatic signals sent by the aircraft's computers to perform functions without the pilot's input, as in systems that automatically help stabilize the aircraft.

I need to come up with an advantage of the "old" system (pulleys, gearwheels, ropes, blabla) when compared to the fly by wire system... And I can't -_-

You can't sabotage the old system from a distance. the fly-by-wire system is a computer system, meaning it's vulnerable to PC-attacks from (for example) 13 year old nerds behind their PC at home. Also I bet the fly-by-wire system is much harder to check (to see if everything is in order).

Ha.
None of my characters' towns were awake at 2 am last night, and insomnia's fun.
Instead of playing guitar and waking up my entire apartment block, i figured I could hang with you

And i'm sixteen. :cry:

Yeah best not to play guitar then. If you want to chat it's best to go to the IRC though, spazzy!
