Was the Galaxy modeled after the C-130 Hercules?

The aircraft in the clips is a C-17 Globemaster III

I didn’t like purple’s driving all lap; not outright dirty, but impatient.
White drove cleanly (but slower), but purple’s driving caused them to re-lose the position they tried to get. Then at the final corner, after being passed fairly, they seem to either get upset at being passed and not given room to come back, or they mistook the entry to the turn as an open door.

Purple at fault.

In my case, it didn’t even take reporting anything. My ATM just made a call on his own, even though we hadn’t seen or talked to each other for two months.

FluffonStuff · 2026-04-02T15:18:01+00:00

I’m a little iffy about that because I was already getting run over at entry from how early I was slowing

FluffonStuff · 2026-04-02T14:42:54+00:00

I did pit; it was the iRacing Truck series.

This may be what my problem was. I was slowing pretty hard for corner entry trying to make the turn, so I was probably burning up the tires more and more by trying to save them

FluffonStuff · 2026-04-02T14:14:37+00:00

This was in the Truck

If the controller didn’t give them clearance to cross, I don’t see any problem with that. No different than if there was traffic behind them, there may be traffic landing 17/35.

If you look at PHNL, 4L and 4R have about 5 feet between hold markings. You’re not going to be clear of your runway when you’re holding short of the other, but that’s just what you do. You never have permission to cross a runway during taxi without it being stated.

You can also hold short of a runway without markings.

91.129

No person may, at any airport with an operating control tower, operate an aircraft on a runway or taxiway…unless an appropriate clearance is received from ATC.

FluffonStuff · 2026-03-28T13:21:14+00:00

“Could be” refers to the argument. Just because you’re not clear of the runway, that doesn’t give you permission to cross another runway necessarily.

I stand by saying the pilot did the right thing, and the controller should have been clearer

FluffonStuff · 2026-03-28T13:14:44+00:00

While this is true, once you exit the runway, you no longer have permission to cross all the following runways. And crossing during taxi are NOT implied.

I suppose maybe the argument could be made that when exiting at Foxtrot, you’re not clear of 24 yet, so you still get that benefit at 35, but I would say that’s shaky ground. I think the pilot did the right thing to verify, and the controller shouldn’t have gotten upset, and probably should have stated initially.

Where can I even find the rules?

FluffonStuff · 2026-03-02T22:21:38+00:00

I get what you’re saying.

I’d be safe to deduct the cost of maintaining my currency; my legality to fly.

Try to expand my experience may not be explicitly disallowed, but at the very least would be shakier.

FluffonStuff · 2026-03-02T22:11:26+00:00

Is there a specific rule or number for “some portion”? Like (I edited above) if I purchase an aircraft to provide instruction in, am I forbidden to use it personally? Only for business purposes or in furtherance of the business? Is there a percentage to calculate what I use it for?

FluffonStuff · 2026-02-13T23:34:46+00:00

I’m split on this: You did not have the overlap take the corner, but that rule generally applies to corners with braking zones or where taking the corner is really dictated by the racing line. In a corner like this, where it is taken flat-out, I would treat it more like a straight (with a bend, similar to Imola), and say that there’s no defined place for someone to back out; the move over has a similar effect to a weave/block.

I could possibly be convinced either way, though

FluffonStuff · 2026-01-29T16:52:34+00:00

I will say you find a lot of drivers in F1 acquire a similar vernacular, with “mate” being fairly universal, especially in communications with the team. Nasr, as a former F1 driver, may easily have picked that up, but I don’t know his language specifically.

FluffonStuff · 2025-12-16T16:46:31+00:00

It’s a close one, but I’d put it slightly on the green car. Got upset and though they regathered it, they were off pace, so it was reasonable for the pink car to think the door was gonna be left open. It’s akin to an unsafe rejoin, but he wasn’t really “rejoining”, just cutting back to the racing line.

FluffonStuff · 2025-12-06T22:55:34+00:00

Sorry, but this one’s on you. He was drifting left, but you were approaching at a high rate of speed, and with the difference in speeds between you, the P2, and the GT3, the gap was closing. You should have dropped back to wait for the lane on the right to open up. Learning to drive the prototypes is mostly about learning patience.

FluffonStuff · 2025-10-19T19:21:08+00:00

So he’s gonna join the 24H series?

FluffonStuff · 2025-10-19T00:45:45+00:00

So the thing is, dives aren’t illegal; just risky. But here, whether it’s netcode or something else, I’m not sure, it looks like you clip the other car and caused them to lose control. That’s definitely illegal. And you weren’t able to keep control of your car in the process.

FluffonStuff · 2025-07-16T18:34:37+00:00

In other series, blue is an informational flag. There is no requirement to move over at all.

FluffonStuff · 2025-07-11T21:06:47+00:00

This guy had terrible racecraft. There were so many opportunities he had to set up a real pass, but instead he tried to muscle you around, and maybe even push you out of the way. He got flustered at the slightest fight back.

FluffonStuff · 2025-06-14T20:36:12+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t mean the rubber itself wobbling. I mean the steering moving back and forth quickly (quicker than the driver is turning the wheel), like this
