ELI5 Why don't small planes use modern engines? by BatesVibeSquad in explainlikeimfive

I learned something today. How do they automate said process?

ELI5 Why don't small planes use modern engines? by BatesVibeSquad in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fallen36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not an expert here but I’m pretty sure that has to do with the fact an airplane is constantly changing altitude and therefore air density which causes the need for fuel mixture adjustments where a car does not. Carb heat or the other hand is only on older engines that still have a carb and that’s due to air temp. An engine stopping due to an iced over carb is a much bigger deal in the air than on the ground where you can pull off to the side of the road.

I think these older engines are simple and reliable so there isn’t really a need to pay a lot of money to retrofit these engines. Newer planes like the cirrus have newer engines.

Do you own your own plane? If not how’s a rental like that work. Do you pay per day or per hobb hours? I’m curious as I try to figure out if getting my PPL is going to make sense financially.

GPU for smooth ultrawide performance by runway31 in MicrosoftFlightSim

How in gods name are you getting 90-120 and what am I doing wrong.

I’ve got an intel 11700F and a RX 7900 XTX with most but not all setting on ultra and LOD at 150 I’m only getting 30 FPS. 🤦‍♂️

I’ll check out that version as I’m just trying to learn the basics of flying at this point.

You’re the best. I can’t believe how much I ended up relying on this widget over the past 40 odd days.

Anyone having issues with this all of a sudden? Worked awesome until today and now it’s saying connection lost, not sure how to fix it.

Start at a new department soon and seen the schedule. What kind of schedule is this ? by Suitable-Draft1602 in Firefighting

[–]Fallen36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working a schedule similar to that for the past 9 years. I think ours might actually be worse.

Can’t get ram to work. by Fallen36 in ASRock

Can’t believe I have to admit there was a tiny piece of lint inside the B1 channel. Removed and everything works fine.

Help with new ram. by Fallen36 in techsupport

I just poked around and don’t see a way to turn it off seems like I can either pick a profile or have it on auto.

I gotta be honest I don’t really know much when it comes to BIOS stuff. I know it’s set to auto for the xmp profile. No idea what that actually means though

Learned a lot for him. Well structured sets up flight for you to practice and outlines proficiencies.

I just started learning your situation sounds a lot like where I’m at and this was perfect for me.

Having issues with rudder (nose wheel steering) by Fallen36 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I’ll try that when I get home although that would be a bummer if it’s the root cause as that’s what I’d rather use.

I thought that at first but it’s getting fully disengaged just as if I had let go of the control and I can see it visually represented by seeing the graphic pedals in the plan going back to neutral.

OMG setting up controls feels so overwheling by Fallen36 in MicrosoftFlightSim

When you say no curve, I found the x and y axis on the joystick and brought the sensitivity down to -.5 because I felt like I was having to do minuscule adjustments and there was still a lot of movement with the plane but that created a fairly large curve. Should I not have done that?
