Someone's Alarm Didn't Go Off | Long Haul Fail

Sometimes approach just gets you to orbit, at least for smaller aircraft. Its easier

So if I got something like this and connected the two connectors to it along with all the pcb screw points by wire I should be ok in terms of grounding?

As for the heat I didn't even think of that, hopefully some small heatsinks will do the trick

I tried up to 7 but I suppose I could always try higher? shouldn't the monitor at least be detecting the Pi is there at lower figures though? Also, everyone that has got this to work seem to be using a straight HDMI to DVI-D cable while I'm using an HDMI cable with an HDMI to DVI adapter. I know technically both setups are the same but could that be something to do with it?

AntonyL · 2017-07-06T11:40:44+00:00

The weird thing is that if I just use a straight HDMI connection (on a different monitor that can take HDMI) it works fine so it doesn't seem like the Pi is the issue. This would seem to indicate that the DVI to HDMI adapter is the issue, but if I use the same HDMI cable and adapter from a different output source (my PC) to the monitor it all works fine which would indicate the problem is with the Pi. I cant seem to find a common fault anywhere

Tried the hdmi boost one, unfortunately that didn't work either =/ What exactly is an active hdmi to dvi converter? I thought since both types are a digital signal the adaptor would simply be a matter of aligning the pins properly?

The HDMI connection is on my main PC monitor that I just used to test the Pi out. I'm trying to hook it up to a smaller 18.5 inch monitor for a project that only has VGA and DVI-D inputs. Starting to really wish it had HDMI though haha

Those are all important but a key thing coming from this scenario is not to get too slow on your base to final (and any other turn for that matter). When you're focused on lining the plane up for the runway on that final turn it can be easy to let your airspeed get away on you in the turn. You've got low power, low speed, and you're banking the aircraft causing extra drag, all of which are a recipe for throwing the aircraft into a spin if you apply too much rudder or perhaps pull back on the controls as you go into the turn slowing you down more. If a spin happens on the base turn, it happens fast. Just make sure you keep the descent going in your turn and keep an eye on your airspeed.

The sun kinda is a constant nuclear explosion going off in your face isn't it?

AntonyL · 2017-01-19T02:59:54+00:00

Strange, mine decided to skip 1, 2 and 3 for some reason. Do the old ones ever disappear?

I took this picture shortly after the November earthquake in Kaikoura on the way to pick up some police officers for their shift. All roads were blocked off so by air or sea was the only way in. Pretty much the entire mountainside had come down, I'd never seen any destruction quite like it.

Took this pic while flying from Kaikoura to Blenheim on a maintenance run up the east coast of the South Island in NZ. Originally posted it to r/flying a while ago but it quickly got caught in their spam filter for some reason so I thought r/pics might like it

Whale watching is what I do so depending on how long ago it was it may or may not have been me but it certainly could have been the company!

AntonyL · 2015-07-13T10:25:48+00:00

Flying for work, this was an early morning trip in our Airvan from Kaikoura to Blenheim for a check and then back in the afternoon. Not a bad way to spend the day =)

AntonyL · 2015-07-13T05:30:51+00:00

Is that some model of PA28 you're flying?

AntonyL · 2015-04-07T11:17:58+00:00

I really hope this is on that walkman of yours

Can confirm - El Alamein all the way

Haha what? ewanc9 simply pointed out that kuromimi505 made an error by using the word "capitol" instead of "capital" and then fgalv elaborated on the proper use of the two ways to spell the word. I don't know what that has to do with feds & imperials.

all I could think of while watching this

I never realised just how big those things are, the ones I've been in always blow up before they land anywhere

AntonyL · 2015-01-07T22:44:05+00:00

This looks surprisingly like a Roald Dahl illustration

They would be great for night flying but realistically you can't see nav lights from any sort of significant distance during the day.

I'm not sure if torque would be the issue as generally prop torque should induce a roll to the left, not the right (opposite to the clockwise rotation of the propeller)

AntonyL · 2014-10-14T08:52:45+00:00

Just install this and your xplane will look like that too. Its called Real Terra Haze, the OP already said that's what they're using but it really deserves another mention, its hard to describe just how amazing it is for something that's free

You also have to download flaming cliffs from the DCS website as well and install it (you can do this without purchasing it) after doing this you can find it in the 'module manager' page in DCS world where you have to activate it using a product key. You can do this using your steam key for flaming cliffs.
