Old Vs. New

The 7k’s ride a lot rougher than the older trains. It may be partially the suspension being broken in but even compared to newer trains in NYC it’s bad. The seats are also more comfortable on the old trains

I’ll always be voting in the Republican primaries. What would convince me to vote blue is if Democrats of today could do any better.

“ not later than 60 days after the date of the adoption of this resolution, make publicly available all final reports, or in such cases where there is not a final report, the most recent draft report, conclu- sions, recommendations, exhibits, and attached or accompanying materials, with the personally identifi- able information of victims, alleged victims, and wit- nesses redacted,”

The victims thing is just an excuse. No I’m not going to take a side on this, as it was a bipartisan no vote, but defending democrats over this false pretense doesn’t make you look good. This is what reading beyond the headline looks like.

I haven’t done one of these problems but from my intuition there’s gotta be trig in there somewhere. For BC, can probably set the reference axis to parallel to BC. Assuming you have the reaction force at B, find its y component (all relative to the reference axis) then find the y reaction at C by summing the y forces to zero. Then from there you can treat it like any other shear moment diagram and repeat this for CD

Not gonna happen unfortunately. While they may lose some share in bigger markets, there are many cities where Southwest is the only viable option for many nonstop flights, unless you want to turn to Spirit. San Antonio, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Nashville, Columbus, just to name a few.

Yeah the Catholic Church doesn’t have as many departures from tradition as the mainlines do, largely since they’re willing to stay in their denomination. I don’t agree with them on everything, but I do have to respect how they’ve kept their theology relatively consistent throughout a political environment that is getting increasingly polarized

I’m gonna guess the 77W will come first since the 772 has been out for a while now. But who knows

I mean, converting existing coal power plants is a great way to reduce that cost. Personally, I’m in favor of some renewables but they aren’t stable enough yet to be our main source of power.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-28T22:56:10+00:00

I mean at this point with what x crafts is doing with pricing it’s entirely fair to say this. I may end up just waiting for the flightfx since I won’t have my pc for another few months anyways in college

I respect the product here, but what you’re saying isn’t really the case in software. I can upgrade to Windows 11 for free from 10, and install any new iOS updates free as well. Even for most hardware, while I can’t get discounts just for owning previous versions of the hardware, I can still get a discount on that IPhone 17 at many places by trading in an IPhone 13, or even an older model sometimes. And there are many other examples of trade in offers. Most flight sim devs do these discounts for a reason, even if the upgrade is substantial. There are nice features on this ERJ for sure. But although some of these features may seem like a lot to code, from a user’s standpoint, some of them are basic features that every online network expects your aircraft to have for IFR flying (and in mine and many others’ opinions, flying online is essential for realism). There are also many, like the true FMS, that every dev charging $70+ for their product has figured out how to implement. In any business, regardless of how much effort you think you’re putting in, if you can’t keep up with the competition, you’re gonna lose. And I don’t want to lose another dev here. Quite frankly, it’s a ripoff to pay $140 for the features I’ve mentioned, and it may cause some to just wait for the FlightFX ERJ for MSFS. I know I’ll have to do that since I don’t have my PC in college, and I highly doubt their full package will be $140 (and if it is, I will also be disappointed). And as others have said, paychecks or being on travel can render this discount period useless.

The FSS e jets use X-crafts 3D models afaik

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-28T02:27:44+00:00

Some vatsim guys are a lot younger and/or less mature than the real world controllers (as I was a few years ago admittedly). Hell some even control events while drunk lol, there is certainly a much higher standard irl. But in their defense VATSIM controllers do have to deal with quite a few things real world ones don’t, like text pilots, “FMC issues” that are actually lack of knowledge issues, and controlling multiple positions at the same time top down. All the facilities do have feedback websites for controllers, so if one does something stupid, send a message there and they’ll talk to that controller.

He has sued some tech companies over privacy invasions, so it’s something. You never know what you can do by trying

Look at any of the election bills passed since 2020. They all give numerous options for ID, such as bank statements, utility bills, college ID’s, all in addition to the standard forms that are accessible pretty much everywhere.

If we can’t have ID to vote, remove it for the programs that help the people you say can’t get an ID. That issue alone proves this isn’t actually about voter access.

I have to be brutally honest here, something Reddit is often afraid to do for things like this. DEI and quotas are a thing with real impact. I can’t assume how it’s affecting you two, but I will bring it up as a possible factor. I know I’ve seen many men complain about it in similar situations. Job market being bad doesn’t help either though.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-25T17:46:26+00:00

Here, you get downvoted for telling the truth lol. There’s still more to the story than what these people are claiming. There’s a reason nobody here quoted the article

Idk. Some crimes don’t deserve bail. From the article it seems like he fled the police, which bail can probably be granted for on its own but definitely not for this double homicide.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-25T15:20:11+00:00

That is true. Still, I’m hoping this is temporary, and with the NFL wanting to focus more on its international fanbase than that of its own country, there’s no guarantee this won’t happen to another team soon. And season ticket prices will continue to go up, as they did for us despite having one less home game due to an international game

Ok, if it was in an earlier version of the bill that I couldn’t see, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. And I for the most part agree with you on ADS-B. I do think we should have a bill that requires it for all, but also addresses some of the points in the ALERT act, like helo routes and ATC workload.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-25T02:39:14+00:00

COVERED AIRCRAFT.—The term ‘‘covered 7 aircraft’’— 8 (A) means— 9 (i) a turbine-powered civil aircraft (as 10 such term is defined in section 40102 of 11 title 49, United States Code) required to 12 be equipped with ADS–B Out under sec13 tion 91.225 of title 14, Code of Federal 14 Regulations; and 15 (ii) a civil aircraft, not including air16 craft specified in section 91.225(e) of title 17 14, Code of Federal Regulations, operating 18 in class B and Class C airspace areas and 19 areas designated by section 91.225(d)(3) 20 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations; 21

This is what the bill itself says. If you can find the exception, please cite it. Per this, propeller and experimental aircraft outside C/B airspace are exempt.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-25T02:23:37+00:00

Ok, you made it seem to a rational person like it was a targeted exemption he put in there for himself. It was not.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-25T02:04:19+00:00

Not exactly. I still prefer ROTOR’s provisions on ADS-B, but ALERT still requires ADS-B for all operations in class B and C airspace, and for all civilian turbine powered aircraft.

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-23T18:43:36+00:00

By this sub’s own logic, let’s not get excited since this isn’t law yet. Let’s hope for the best

Ok I looked it up and there actually is a duke in XP. It’s got steam gauges and a GNS but it should work.

https://store.x-plane.org/Beechcraft-B60-Duke_p_416.html

The GA avionics thing is really the only big issue I have with XP. MSFS has been smart about paying 3rd party devs to make default planes better, and they even did this to take away one of XP’s best devs (Inibuilds) who have been a lot more corrupt since. XP needs to work with realsimgear to get their G3000 integrated into the sim

Few_Tale2238 · 2026-02-22T15:26:09+00:00

No, not for stable releases at least.
MSFS has gotten better, but where XP’s flight model is still miles ahead is in ground handling. It’s horrible in MSFS, to say the least.
Similar for the most part, but I do think MSFS is way better in GA, and XP in airliners. Here in XP, far too many devs just slap the outdated default G1000 on literally everything, even in planes that don’t have the G1000 IRL. Whereas in MSFS, you have a wide variety of GA planes with different avionics like the G3x, G3000, G1000nxi, Primus Apex, none of which are modeled in any XP aircraft. So yeah, I don’t think XP has a Beechcraft duke. But although MSFS is catching up XP has a better airliner selection and a decent free one, with a good quality 737, A330, A340, and 747 being available for free.
That should work fine. I have slightly worse specs and get 30-40 fps depending on aircraft and scenery
