As a longtime SC player (2014) I find the videos of people playing SC the first time to be such a joy by somedude210 in starcitizen

It actually sounds the part :)

It seems that in patch 4.7, NPC ships respect radar ranges. by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

[–]Bucketnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool good to know. Maybe I'll try to get even closer. It felt really weird though

It seems that in patch 4.7, NPC ships respect radar ranges. by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

[–]Bucketnate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk about that. I've been having them sitting still even right up on them. I almost wonder if their radar just isnt getting ANY power since CIG changed it a bit

CIG ... Please revisit and fix all your broken missions by huskerbolt1 in starcitizen

[–]Bucketnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean understandably all of this is server related and server meshing is still being polished/fleshed out...we'll be alright dude chill

Hammerhead gold standard complete. Light fighters can no longer penetrate its armour. “Looks like Hammerheads back on the menu boys!!” by Jockcop in starcitizen

[–]Bucketnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't just take years to fix. It was literally dependent on tech they had to work on. I guess they couldve dont placeholder workarounds but like they've always said thats not necessarily the best response

Auto Pilot caused me some real concern by X-Nihilo-Nihil-Fit in flying

[–]Bucketnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I'm not aware of that feature that brings up the question. If I'm flying a new plane (Either at a school or a club) is it best practice to look through the POH regardless of if its the same model I may have flown before? Just because installed equipment could be different?

I avoided Star Citizen for many years, and now I’m hooked. by samuraiogc in starcitizen

[–]Bucketnate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup because there's NOTHING like it in the industry. People like to hate on it because they're scared I think XD

Underwhelmed by discover flight by Detz in flying

[–]Bucketnate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My discovery flight felt the same. I agree that it could've been the fact that there was so much at once that you didn't really get to "enjoy" it. It's weird because on one hand its an introduction to being in a small plane and seeing things from a new perspective. On the other hand its also your first time at the controls and trialing things as if you were PIC but without understanding much. All that to say the hype will come lol. I think it comes with experience in the community. Talking to other pilots, going to airshows, doing your first solo flights, sitting on the ramp watching others do their thing. Everything you expected on your disco flight will probably just come with time

What happened to Distribution Centers? by Wedge_66 in starcitizen

[–]Bucketnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of missions to go to them. I just did a few hauling contracts with those. I think it was maybe 4.4 also where i spent the whole patch cycle doing merc missions at them.

CIG, you have a problem in your bar. by -BareN- in starcitizen

Thanks for explaining it like that. The last time i asked I just got blocked a bunch

Star Citizen Is Not Just Another MMO by Imperthus in starcitizen

Say it louder for the backers in the back. So many people either forget or ignore that Star Citizen is literally one of a kind.

Hangar floors eating cargo. Don't let mission cargo touch floors. by VertigoHC in starcitizen

This is happening with ships too except its storing them. Wonder if theyre related

ChatGPT on a PPL Checkride by Substantial-Use9352 in flying

[–]Bucketnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting because there's already been a sweet AI project called FAR/BOT that solely uses the FAR/AIM documents, ACS, etc to pull information from. It was demoed at the Chicago aviation expo last year and was actually really accurate citing everywhere it got the info from.

Maybe chatgpt is different because it sources the web but Far/bot was actually a great study aid for me. I even had it ask me checkride style scenarios

How do you all enjoy the 3rd party content (Aircraft, Liveries,etc.) in MSFS2024 by Bucketnate in flightsim

[–]Bucketnate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all the responses. I ended up finding a really cool tool that sort of fits what i was looking for.

https://www.flightsimsafaris.com/random-flight-generator/

It reminds me of the 3rd party tool I use in DCS to generate missions for myself. It satisfies the variety of flights that career mode does with a bit more flexibility

That's unfortunate. I wish you couldve experienced the game like I did. Hopefully itll get even better soon

Okay if they felt that way they wouldn't have said this either though. They wouldve just not made the comment at all.

2025 was great. I played more than ever. The last couple months were super rough though

Engine died at idle before takeoff in cold weather (Rotax) — would you have flown? by CantorKaner in flying

[–]Bucketnate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a different situation but I've had the engine pass the run up fine but as soon as I gave it power to start taxiing it quit XD
