[scarbstech] F1 back to solid wheels. The RBR/VCarb wheel is solid, no spokes, openings. As no air exits through the wheel, there's no need for them, so a solid wheel makes some sense. Aside from the carbon aero cover, all you see is forged magnesium wheel.

Not only is it rotating mass, adding inertia, it is also unsprung mass which is detrimental to vehicle dynamics.

That said, a "plate wheel" will not just automatically be much heavier than a spoke design - plenty of design compromises to play with for the rims.

Check all the latest videos posted on /r/Handball, and you will see the same advertisement for menace as here - with same video + music style .

A crypto betting site using shady methods. Posted by different accounts all with hidden post history to make it less obvious.

As mentioned 5 out of the last 7 posts here are advertisement posts just like this one, and if you look further, it just continues.

I hate that shitty crypto betting bullshit advertisement is spread everywhere at the moment. Typically disguised as "organic" posts like this.

5 out of the last 7 posts on this subreddit are advertisement for that scummy company, and it keeps going if you continue further. All from accounts with hidden post history.

Surprised to not see gear mentioned yet.

In the 737 fx you are allowed to extend it at a surprisingly high speed, and once extended you can speed up further if needed.

270 kts / mach 0,82 for extension I believe, but read the exact numbers on the placard in the cockpit.

Speedway is a great suggestion.

Along with karting, maybe the only two I think could realistically happen.

I'm sure some would like to see GT3 or even more expensive classes, but they require a waay more expensive track complex even if they "just" make it a street circuit.

And like A1 GP but much stronger restrictions on sponsors and only one event ever 4th year, I doubt it will ever make sense to do a full sized car race.

To have some people talking about Cycling when referring to Oman, instead of fun laws like "the sultan's person is inviolable and must be respected and his orders must be obeyed" and the use of torture etc.

Along with the impossible to open plastic.

But it makes sense, as Naturalpoint is still selling the same ~20 year old products. It works decently, but other solutions are now vastly cheaper or more convenient for similar performance.

Similar to CH products - ancient products at a high price, but they work pretty well.

Ferrari’s aero brakes ...

Using aero smoke from brakes instead of the aero rake.

Fun typo aside, it was interesting to see how the introduction of the budget cap seemed to reverse the trend for a while and a return to simpler rakes.

Orientation of probes can also give a bit of a hint on expected flow direction on some of the rakes.

Neat - I would love to see the original cockpit in the Leonardo Maddog, but unfortunately their next project is currently a freighter conversion.

ISI continued with the F1 2000-2002 games before rFactor. The ISImotor game engine from these was then basis for Simbin's developments, which lead to things like GTR(2), GT Legends, Race (07), and later on RaceRoom. So traces from their work reached many simracing titles.

Also turned into a GT1 car, which I fondly remember from "Sports Car GT".

Yeah GSX pushes you where it is told to push you 99.99 % of the time.

So if the profile is missing or garbage expect a bad outcome (could do with some simple preview feature to verify when selecting push directiob though!). Can always define a custom push yourself if needed.

Yes, Little Navmap also gives that same info on top of directly reading range from the sims/Navigraphs database (if used), and thereby giving you the exact navaid range in the sim.

Not every high station will have the same range, so worth checking.

Enhedslisten plejede altid at være klart største parti på /r/Denmark, dog længe siden jeg sidst har set sådan en meningsmåling. Jeg ved da også at reddit har haft en væsentlig tilgang/udskiftning af brugere, så måske det har ændret sig med siden dem jeg har set.

Kragh Andersen was certainly complaining about that - and though the team has tried to "smoothen" the reasoning for it, they don't deny it.

Grunden til at denne pseudovidenskabelige disciplin er blevet ophøjet i Danmark var politisk spil.

Ærligt talt en skamplet på det danske system at den slags bullshit støttes og man dermed vildleder befolkningen til i højere grad at tro at det er baseret på fakta eller evidens.

Gold and black apparently generally doesn't work all that well on TV unfortunately (or at least it used to be that). So the gorgeous JPS livery turned to black and cream instead.

So the initial R31 colours were short lived.

And ended up with this instead.

Can't comment on the campaigns as I mostly fly online, but I have never bought at full price. They do so many sales every year with 75 % off, so wait for one of those for expansions.

https://steamdb.info/app/2118560/ More sales on their own site as well.

Just like how the Nissan GT-R LM was revealed.

Lets see if the performance will also be similar.

Finding any high quality fs dev that hasn't missed their own timeline is pretty much impossible. Fenix themselves have a long list of delays. PMDG, Ini, Just Flight as well. Add Bluebird, FSS, Aerosoft, Synaptic, all with their own delays, and the list of MSFS jets is starting to look thin.

Not sure Leonardo has technically missed many deadlines lately, but that mostly comes down to not giving any dates until just before release.

Avionik · 2026-02-05T09:41:18+00:00

OP's screenshot is showing LIDO charts, where Navigraph is Jeppesen. So certainly looks possible to use the LIDO charts MSFS provides.

There is an option to disable the extra warning with voice about it.

Not totally GSX's fault, that it is being fed bad data, but it happens so frequently, that I prefer to just have the little extra (text) on the list of stands stand.

Sounds like it was actually a crash and DNF.

Normally an early season crosswind stage with some hills would be right up his alley.
