I think this has been discuss before, you can play DS on a plane, but just don't play in a WiFi mode because it might interfere the plane communication device.

lpayed it before.
No wifi plz. and that's about it.

try not to turn on DS when they tell u to keep all electeonical stuffs switched off...

They really mean it btw, when they say it...
which reminds me of stupid dumb #$#$s on the plane who turn on their hps despite the plane refueling. =_='

Let's correct the term.

You must NOT ACTIVATE ANY SORT OF MULTIPLAYER WHEN YOU'RE IN THE PLANE!

WIFI or microwaves from handphones do not cause problem to airplanes equipment cause it 'theoretically' interferes with the measurment devices only, that's all.

It won't cause the plane to plunge few hundred feet because u're trying to play Nintendo WIFI or make an international call.

Yea, MAS games seriously bad now, if you lucky you fly on an old plane with all the old snes games on it, thats good. But all the new ones got crappy arcade style clones only sad.gif

the new singapore air planes have POKEMON GB versions. imagine 12 hours of that.

anyways, the thing about wifi is theoretical. in fact, there is a paid wifi on singapore air to london heathrow that invites u to log on with your laptops. since u have to log on thru a gateway site, WFC doesnt work of course.

Maybe their planes are designed to withstand any interferences..

I dont dare to play any e-devices on the plane (except are assured that usage of e-devices are safe) coz i will playing with own life sweat.gif

Fair enough. Damn, makes me wish Nintendo still used the old Game Link cable for use in the DS.

ok.. actually let me put it this way.

Planes have a lot of signal shielding around their equipement and such to protect against stray signals beaming around in the plane. But it's hard to test every single wireless device in the world to make sure that they don't interfere, hence the blanket banning on radio devices on flight.

The reason you have to shut down your things during take off and landing is that there are certain instruments that are used during those times which are extra sensitive to inteference and let's just say it's not a good idea to have an instrument go down when the ground is approaching at extremely fast speeds wink.gif

that pretty much captures it marauderz. tho i think it would take about 2 dozen cellphones on at the same time to generate that amount of interference.
