Hi all i watched the pilot episode of the lone gunmen (the one they will never show again) that had aircraft and controllers hacked and aircraft taken over if the game is set in the future then it would fit with real life controllers will in the future send commands via a link to the aircraft and climb/descend, turn and nav to a new route inputted by the controller on the ground missions could be to divert planes to different destinations stop someone getting to an important meeting by cancelling all flights from the airport steal cargo or even eliminate people by crashing the planes into each other and terrain (find the nams on the manifest and the fllight number then hack the ATC and spoof into being a controller and send fake data to the aircraft) as you can tell i know a little about this subject and would be happy to help with background info if anyone is interested FBJ |

Could be a bit like Die Hard... where they recalibrate the landing control system so that ground level is set as -10m. Great film... You know what would also be really good? To hack into NASA and blow up their rocket at launch, like mess with the nozzle timings so that it just falls over. Hehehe. Whee... oh crap *creeeek* BOOM! |

Which is a repeat performance of what happened to the French: Quote: Ariane 5's first test flight (Ariane 5 Flight 501) on 4 June 1996 failed, with the rocket self-destructing 40 seconds after launch because of a malfunction in the control software, which was arguably one of the most expensive computer bugs in history. A data conversion from 64-bit floating point to 16-bit signed integer value had caused a processor trap (operand error). The floating point number had a value too large to be represented by a 16-bit signed integer. Efficiency considerations had led to the disabling of the software handler (in Ada code) for this trap, although other conversions of comparable variables in the code remained protected.
