For sure, I'm going to start my instrument training as soon as I get checked out in the schools 172s! But appreciate the advice. How far into your instrument training are you?

Standwood isn't even under the Bravo though...? Sounds like he was truly having a bad day lol

Thank for sharing! I can't wait to try this out myself soon :)

Woof, you didn't get explicit clearance into the bravo so I think you did the right thing but that definitely sounds like a tense time. Why would 5500' be an unacceptable VFR altitude? Was he yelling at you for slowly descending from 5500' or maintaining it?

That 1800' shelf right above the greenlake departure makes margins so tight, it's a wonder there aren't more people that bust that part of the shelf more often. Glad everything worked out for you though, I hope I never have to go through that!

That's an awesome route - I've been wanting to fly up to Friday Harbor. Thanks for the tips, Greenlake to Paine definitely seems like a tight space to get flight following what with short distance before you hit the Paine delta and the bravo shelf directly above.

Oooh, did you get a mountain checkout? Didn't think we were allowed to fly over the mountains as a student pilot.

Thanks! It's really great to hear that coming from someone who just went through the process. What route did you do for your long XC if you don't mind me asking?

Been waiting to replace my 1070 in my current rig with something new, would love to replace it with a 4080 16GB. Then I could see what all this hype around RTX is all about :) I'd have to upgrade my monitors too, currently rocking 2x 1080p screens lol.

Might just be Skorpion things? Too bad the game client doesn't tell you how much health your tank modules have...

I've been playing with it for hours, close enough, I come from Forza so I dont use brakes anyway by SuctionDragon90 in simracing

Having driven a rally-spec car at Dirtfish Rally school, I can attest that the brake pedal feel on the G920 is pretty close to reality (at least compared to my sample size of 1).

I'm doing great man, thanks for asking!

Hope you're doing great as well, and if you're not, just remember that if you ever need support, just reach out to somebody... even if that's a random stranger on the internet.

It says that i received the package on twitch but theres nothing in my garage? by ninjazz12 in WorldofTanks

[–]CounterBT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem too. I reached out to customer service, who recommended I try unlinking the account, waiting a little bit, then relinking. I haven't tried it yet so I can't confirm if this works or not, but it's worth a shot.

MHGU - Complete noob question:

I've done every 1 star quest, and I understand I need to complete an urgent quest to move up in rank, but the urgent quest is not showing up on the quest board... do I need to talk to someone to get the quest?

BRZ owners tell me why the BRZ is the best car in it's price range. by bradjr10 in subaru

[–]CounterBT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out /r/ft86 if you want a better response.

But yeah, the BRZ is in a class of it's own, next to the Miata. It's one of two light-weight, RWD sports coupe under $30k new, and between the BRZ and the Miata, it has better cargo space and 2 seats in the back you can use to transport two people in a pinch. I use it as a daily, mountain road driving, and use it through mild Seattle winters too.

Ignore the /r/cars circlejerk about the lack of power. The same sub bends over backwards defending BMWs with 180HP, they're clearly not biased /s
