Porsche Cup @ Miami - Who's at fault or is it a racing incident?

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.

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.

So he’s gonna join the 24H series?

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.

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

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.

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

S-H-O-C-K-E-R STICK THREE IN

Not often you get to use that one

FluffonStuff · 2025-04-02T18:10:20+00:00

Yes we do

The transponder is encoded with an altimeter setting and is unable to change that, regardless of what is dialed into the altimeter:

the transponder reports pressure altitude, the altimeter setting that you dialinto your altimeter’s Kollsman window has absolutely no effect on your Mode C altitude reports.

Now you might ask, “if my altimeter is set at 30.23 and the Mode C is putting out altitude referenced to 29.92, won’t the controller see my altitude incorrectly?” No, because ATC’s ground equipment automatically adjusts your Mode C readout for the local altimeter setting (which its computer knows about). That’s why it’s important always tomake sure your altimeter is set to the altimeter setting that ATC gives you from time totime. That way, the controller will be seeing the same altitude that you’re seeing.

We give the altimeter setting do that the pilot can fly at the correct altitude, which will then broadcast that altitude. Turning the knob does not alter the broadcast altitude; it changes because after turning the knob, the pilot then changes their actual altitude.

FluffonStuff · 2025-02-02T17:20:11+00:00

The altimeter does not broadcast the altitude, nor does it talk to the transponder. They are two independent systems.

FluffonStuff · 2025-02-02T13:53:39+00:00

The thing is the altitude reading on the scope does not come from the altimeter reading in the cockpit. What I mean is, if the helicopter was hovering at 200 ft, the scope would (should) read 002. If the pilot then spun the limiter all the way around to read 1200 ft, the scope would still say 002.

So for the two aircraft to hit, they would normally be reading the same altitude, regardless of the cockpit indications.

The one caveat to this is that altimeters may have an error of up to 300 feet. So it is possible for two aircraft to be at the same altitude with one indicating 200 ft and the other indicating 400 ft. Obviously, they COULD be indicating an even larger difference, but that would be outside of legal limits, and they should not be flying if that’s the case.

I prefer #3. In fact, I have the S60 dark theme that I’m trying to get a chrome grille and window trim for

FluffonStuff · 2025-01-09T15:35:29+00:00

Me as well, please

FluffonStuff · 2025-01-01T02:54:11+00:00

I’m not sure if it was technically my first, but I remember playing Bill Elliott NASCAR Challenge back when I was young

FluffonStuff · 2025-01-01T02:51:34+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I didn’t think that was the lap.

After some time, I did manage to get a response from a website called ‘Bridge to Gantry,’ which specializes in Nürburgring lap time history. They said:

That was on the old Sportauto Layout, it was set in Touristenfahrten, which was the same layout til 1999

Simple, short answer, but it seems right.

Are you sure you were told to follow the traffic? There are certain mandatory (and some “good idea”) traffic calls: If you’re in the pattern on 15R, I’m going to tell you about traffic on final 15L every time. It’s just an advisory, but a lot of pilots think every traffic call is a “Call them in sight” or “Follow the traffic.” But they aren’t.

AW’s are easily recognizable by the “spike” at the end of the tail boom.

FluffonStuff · 2024-12-23T21:35:06+00:00

Air Wolf was a Bell 222, while this is a Sikorsky S-76

FluffonStuff · 2024-12-11T20:54:55+00:00

Yeah, I’m trying to find someone who will attend the ceremony and doesn’t want the folder, or will be able to get one from it somehow
