While flight sims have a reputation for being rather complex, or even inaccessible, Pacific Carriers is anything but. Choose the Arcade control scheme, and the game will simplify the controls as much as it can, making the game a lot more forgiving, and leaving you to concentrate on the important parts - like dodging the enemy planes. While you can still take off and land on aircraft carriers (the coolest part of any Pacific flight sim), when playing on Arcade, you can't stall, there are no red outs and black outs, and with a choice of difficulty levels, you can tweak the game's difficulty to suit.
True heroes know no bounds!Experience top combat action in this brand new arcade flight sim and become immersed in the exploits of famous aircraft carriers. Choose the side you want to play on: the US Navy or the Imperial Japanese Navy. Climb into the cockpit and re-live the most famous battles of the War in the Pacific.

It is the contention of the respondent that while the presumption recognized by Texas & Pacific Railway Co. v. Adams has application to most common carriers, it can in no way relate to air carriers because of tariff provisions adopted by respondent under the Federal Aviation Program. 49 U.S.C.A. 1373(a).
We find no conflict. The tariff provision is that the carrier shall not be liable for loss or damage not occurring on its line nor caused by the negligence of its servant. There is no provision which controls the means or methods by which either the place of loss or the cause thereof may be established. Presumptions are not rendered unavailable. We would be loath to say that the presumption did not obtain in the absence of a clear and unequivocal statement to that effect contained in a tariff rule adopted in accordance with statutory authority. Presumptions abound in the law relating to carriers largely because of necessity. We must accept probabilities, unless they can be dispelled, because this is the best that can be done. In this case, the presumption consists of the statement of a probability, and once the probability be shown, there is no injustice in requiring the carrier to dispel it by going forward with the evidence. The fact that petitioner does not know where and how the damage occurred does not foreclose its demand for recovery. It is entitled to rely upon the presumption which is based upon a logical inference that the damage incurred was the fault of and occurred on the line of the terminal carrier, Texas & Pacific Ry. Co. v. Adams, 78 Tex. 372, 14 S.W. 666; Mitchell v. Stanton, Tex.Civ.App., 139 S.W. 1033, wr. ref., and authorities heretofore cited.
We recognize the established doctrine that the rights and liabilities in respect to damage to goods moving in interstate commerce are controlled by Acts of Congress, agreements between the parties and common law principles accepted and enforced in the federal courts, but we have been cited to no federal case which holds that the common law presumption relating to terminal carriers has been abrogated by the adoption of the Federal Aviation Program, 49 U.S.C.A. 1373. Such presumption is not a local Texas device but one that has general application throughout most common law jurisdictions. In the federal domain, it has been recognized and approved by the Supreme Court of the United States. In Chicago & Northwestern Ry. Co. v. C. C. Whitnack Produce Co., 258 U.S. 369, 42 S. Ct. 328, 66 L. Ed. 665, (cited in the original opinion), it was held that the terminal carrier presumption was not abrogated by the adoption of the Carmack amendment. We may paraphrase the language of that opinion and say that we find nothing in 49 U.S.C.A. 1373 which indicates a legislative purpose to abrogate the accepted common law doctrine concerning the terminal carrier presumption.
Japan Airline System (JAL), All Nippon Airways, Korean Air, China Air, EVA Airways, Thai Airways, Malaysian Airlines, Air New Zealand and Indonesia's Garuda are among other Asia Pacific carriers to cut services because of SARS, the war in Iraq and the general decline in economic conditions. 2ff7e9595c
