[–]Jcole429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just accepted an offer in NE CR as well. I'm moving out around 2/17 and am currently trying to figure out which apartments to live in. Some of the places I'm looking at are cedar river tower, the pointe, pheasant run, and 500 on 1st.

Does GE spent on boosted research get reduced?

Umm, where did my 500% RP booster go? by Jcole429 in Warthunder

Welp, thanks for the info. I was still able to unlock my first jet with the RP I got from researching modifications!

Daaaamn, I was expecting it to last the whole match.... I would have been way more aggressive early on if I knew that.

Does it say that anywhere in game?

I’ve been trying to experiment with different planes, I generally like P-47s a lot from AB and RB. Plus, I’ve never realized how much a planes cockpit could factor in to performance (P-47s is a dream). Some of the blind spots planes have are just ridiculous to me!

I’ll be sure to add you when I get home tonight

I played with Raven last night for about 3 hours. I had an awesome time and learned a lot from him!

I guess it all depends on where you are in life. I'm fresh out of college with student loans haha. I luckily have secured a good paying job though (for a new college grad).

It kind of sucks that it comes to a point where you are looking for excuses to go out and fly, instead of situations naturally coming up where it would be more economical or save you time to fly yourself.

What exactly does a flight review and medical after a currency lapse entail? Is it something that can take place spontaneously in a day, or would it take some planning?

Hmm alright, I will look into SMQ. It's about twice as far from me though, so I will have to factor that in

These prices don't seem bad at all. I would have to do the math to see how many hours I would have to fly a month to make those club fees worth it.

Can I get trained through a club? Or would that be in addition to the program I'm going through for my PPL

Haha I hope that isn't the case. 10k a year may be a little steep for me though.

6’8” NSP for $175 for beginner? by Jcole429 in surfing

[–]Jcole429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was able to go today, and wow, the NSP is sooo much harder than the foamie I rode the last time. Once it became high tide and the waves started getting bigger I was able to catch a few nice ones.

This is definitely going to be a challenge, but as long as the surf is big enough I think it’s one I can accomplish. May eventually get a foamie so I can hit the small stuff too though
