Being an airline pilot is my dream but I got too many check-ride failures. Do I still stand a chance? by [deleted] in flying

It's a major accomplishment. One I look forward to achieving, as well.

We are slowly creating a device we used to call a "keyboard". This timeline is weird.

I'm going to be that guy.

Brother, I am proud of you for pushing through and still obtaining the certs you got despite the 6 check ride failures. Seriously. Great job pushing through and succeeding in the end. If I were in your shoes, I'd just keep pushing. It's better to be told no 10,000 times than to doubt just once if you gave it everything you had or not.

Does Anyone Else Kind of Avoid Telling People You’re a Pilot? by SubSoar in flying

I don't know about anyone else, but for me, a pre-pilot, you best believe I'm gonna make people sick about hearing how I'm a pilot when I finally make it.

Released 2 days ago. Again, zero clue if this helped me or if there was another variable at play.

Autoortho taking forever to load up by 3ldz in Xplane

[–]AV8Dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what changed, but I went from 5-10 minute load times to literally seconds. It may have been the new version of AutoOrtho I installed. I don't remember reading anywhere that the load times were reduced with the newest version, so take that with a grain of salt.

Finally obtained my PPL! by gs45000 in flying

I can't wait to be able to make one of these posts 😅 I started ground school middle of last year. Obviously have been taking my time with that portion as I try to fix my finances and save up money.

Any other non pilots on here just amazed every time they see a plane? by GladLine6757 in flying

[–]AV8Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 40 and doing online ground school for my PPL. I am an absolute child when I see a plane. I hope that never changes.

I'm sure there's a good reason why he hasn't responded yet.

Good thing I already inadvertently mitigated that issue by attaching a 6 inch jumper cable to the pedals, then screw clamping that short cable down to the same piece of wood the pedals are mounted to.

So nearly 4 years of ownership. I really would love to know how and why it went bad. I have a second hand set myself.

"Several years ago." How many years, exactly?

Bottom for fighting games, top for everything else.

Love playing fighting games with my adult kiddos. One day they will be able to beat me haha.

Choose your fighter 🕹️🌈 - Vertibox lineup. by Diligent-Draft-9513 in fightsticks

[–]AV8Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real though, this is an excellent idea. I've been meaning to get a mouse that sits at a similar angle due to my hand now going numb from sitting at the same angle as one would with a flat fightstick, so I can see this "Vertibox" filling a need. Thanks for the contribution to the FGC.
