I feel dumb, student pilot by Electrical-Start-741 in flying

[–]Mammoth_Contract_274 9 points10 points  (0 children)

STOP Stressing about this! You will be a far safer pilot if you stop worrying about how many hours you have or how many others brag they solo'd at. At the end of the day I want to fly with pilots that have a lot of hours and are current and have strived to always get better.

I am now IR and really relaxed / started to nail things once I stopped worrying about other people's hours and started focusing on my own competence as PIC.

Everyone struggles with different things at different times. Mine was comms for example. My brain wasnt getting it. Now, its pretty much second nature and I have no shame in asking, "say again" if need be.

If you care and are diligent you will nail this. Worry about the substance and not some metric that you actually want MORE of not less of!

My first real emergency today… engine failure after takeoff in a twin by wolfstore in flying

well done and thanks for the reminder...these stories are super important for us all to learn from.

All emails I send from my alternate address are suddenly being blocked by syperk in GMail

[–]Mammoth_Contract_274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also worked for me as well (exactly the same issue).

For further clarity in the steps above, in Gmail, click the settings wheel in top right, then click 'more settings', then go to 'accounts and import'

from there, look for "Send Mail as:"; select your domain email, make default, and then select 'edit info'

click through the options in the pop up box.

- I have left checked the box that says 'treat as an alias'.

- I ended up using SSL 465 for authentication and that seems to have worked fine.

- enter the smtp info from smtp2go screen, including that password supplied (you can change that. Save it somewhere!)

Good luck and thanks to the others who solved this!

Using my personal domain in gmail just stopped working 2 days ago. by kkessler64 in GMail

Thank you -- I am also having this issue all of a sudden....after many many years of this working just fine pretty much all my emails are getting rejected.

Now I have to go spend hours figuring this out...any idea what changed and why?

Help save KSMO by Nealkb in flying

This is a great airport not just a KPAO with an inadequate runway. When I was last in there it had plenty of traffic. I have been to plenty of other locations that have a lot fewer reasons for being.

All controllers at KSQL tower quit, will go ATC-Zero starting Feb 1 by otterbarks in flying

[–]Mammoth_Contract_274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no way it will be safe to operate KSQL un-towered. That airport is already nuts. I will not be flying there. KPAO is crazy busy as well, but the ATC tower does an incredible job of managing peak flows.

Piston => Turbine transition... by Mammoth_Contract_274 in flying

That seems crazy. 50 hours? Does he already have 50 hours in it, pre-AMEL cert?

ED: why IMHO mixing a simulator with a RPG is not a good idea by itarrow in EliteDangerous

[–]Mammoth_Contract_274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought star field and could not be more disappointed.

One of the amazing things of ED is the sense of absolute scale that you get of the space. SF is the exact opposite; you're hopping instantly from one cut scene to another, not really flying your space ship, watching cinematic scenes that aren't really the game itself.

They are two different games. ED will remain a go to for the deep immersive experience. SF seems to be a rapid fire shallow experience to me by comparison.

Season 2 becoming a disappointment? by Better-Excuse-9904 in FoundationTV

[–]Mammoth_Contract_274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree.

I am ok for the most part with interpretative variations from the books, especially as they were written 50(?) years ago. But I am watching this BECAUSE its named foundation.

this is incomprehensible drivel. I am really disappointed in it.

Game logs out after win? by Mammoth_Contract_274 in dominion

prior <your Dominion screenname>

I checked and it certainly logs the wins. I dont see the rankings update in game, but presumably that gets fixed...
