You're confusing me now. Spellchecker won't work on the thread mate, if that's wot you meen.

The challenge - is it younger than it looks?

The plan view of the engine is novel, but it still looks like a radial.

There seems to be problems all over the system (I just lost the spell checker that had worked since, and the checker is internal to PPRuNe). I see from Computer ..Issues and Troubleshooting Thread that there seems to be a general haywirecitazion (just invented word, must go to Urban Dictionary) of the software down there.

See my post #24013 in "Two last letters...." Thread in Jet Blast
Erasicate - To surreptitiously remove from the configuration of system without knowledge or consent of the user, or owner of that system. Thats what THEY do!
That word was alredy in the Urban Dictionary.....

I will be in and out today, mostly out

No, WWII.

Normally spell check would underline errors when creating the post. Not any more.

Now my mouse cursor won't stop "blinking" on the monitor screen...

Good move!

"Spelling" problem fixed by downloading this...

English (Australian) Dictionary :: Add-ons for Firefox

Cursor arrow has stopped blinking for the time being...no idea why it's doing that.

Nicely done mate. Thanks for the "Jet Blast" tip RegDep...looks like the problem is forum wide.

Your control!

OPEN HOUSE

LM, I SAID I was in and out. You fighter pilots know that they always come from the direction of sun and from a dead angle, don't they?

And my spell check works now.

I proposed that earlier as a solution to another challenge. Should I dig it from the thread? Some 3 to 4 weeks ago.

It is indeed mate.

All yours.

PS - I'm very surprised that RegDep didn't go for it, especially as it's German.
