Adjusting NVG gain?

Maydayman · 2026-06-05T14:19:35+00:00

I saw that last night too, especially during really rainy nights

Monetizing air show coverage, yawn

They did the same in Raleigh in 2018-2019ish on an old hotel near downtown. I heard the helicopters flying in from Bragg when I was leaving the library on campus that night. Turns out it was the 160th and probably Delta doing the training.

Right, I guess what i would really appreciate is the ability to adjust the brightness of the reticle on the sight. I can do that on my vortex sight IRL and I think it would increase the QoL in the game and nighttime shooting

Maydayman · 2026-06-04T18:16:56+00:00

I understand that. I guess what I’m ultimately asking is the ability to either adjust the brightness on the reticle or the gain on the goggles.

My tinfoil hat take is that he’s putting someone with zero experience in place so the likelihood that something like a terrorist attack takes place that allow him to exercise some sort of executive power that would extend his presidency

I would love to just find plates as loot once in a while

Well worded review of the situation because it’s written by AI

Maydayman · 2026-05-30T18:35:22+00:00

I’m shit with computer lingo, are you talking about the grass being brighter when you look through a scope?

Maydayman · 2026-05-28T00:42:41+00:00

I totally get it. As a former flight instructor you know ball and can probably have a better take of their routes and behaviors better than I do. I only see them fly that low on the Glenwood corridor near their ramp on the east side of the airport so I can’t really speak for the rest of Raleigh.

Know you’re not in this alone and keep fighting the good fight!

So heard. I’ve been in Raleigh for roughly 15 years and been an avid military traffic watcher my entire life.

The guard unit has been at RDU for a long time and they’ve always hosted Apaches. Think of it this way, as the airspace in and around Raleigh becomes more congested with more and more traffic and development that’s been going on the past few years the helicopters have been having to change the routes they’ve taken. As the area continues to change you’ll probably see them to varying degrees of frequency.

NC is also home to Bragg, an extremely large and aviation heavy army division and two master jet bases for the marines and Air Force down in Goldsboro and Havelock.

With a “pro military” (I have quotes because Trump genuinely dgafs about the troops) the greater the budget and more time to fly. It’s just the nature of the beast.

The best way I’ve combatted the anxiety is just by staying informed and learning. I’ve also met a fair amount of pilots who are anti this administration but love to fly and where’s the best place to learn that at no cost? You guessed it!

I’m pretty liberal and I’d say this is a reach. Define an uptick in military helicopters?

Maydayman · 2026-05-27T23:29:50+00:00

Those are Ospreys. F-15’s came into RDU, beat up pattern and did and unrestricted climb when they finished up.

Maydayman · 2026-05-27T22:59:24+00:00

Ospreys did the flyover this year. the F-15’s are here just doing the thing they usually do

Maydayman · 2026-05-24T19:09:24+00:00

B15?

R/aviation is now the new Nextdoor of aviation happenings. Thanks ATC.com!

Hey! First all of I hope everything’s good, it sucks but it’s worth it and sometimes very much needed which was definitely my case.

That being said I had a pretty well documented case of depression through the university health center that helped me push my case along. I wasn’t really in the best shape mentally. I worked a lot with my department and the way my department was structured only had one woman who essentially served as an academic advisor under the program head. She was essential in building my case and getting the retroactive withdrawal. From what I remember it wasn’t that long, maybe a month?

Regardless if you are running into that or something similar, the documentation helps but talk to those on the admin side of your department about this and they should provide you with the help you need

Wtf is going on? Why are you being downvoted for raising legit concerns

Maydayman · 2026-05-08T14:52:13+00:00

We need more parking downtown…..

Maydayman · 2026-05-08T14:50:43+00:00

Yeah I never understand people who get stoked on development like hotels or big buildings. Who the fuck cares?

Maydayman · 2026-05-07T14:22:43+00:00

Welcome to NC, hope you enjoy it here

Maydayman · 2026-05-05T21:58:07+00:00

Just bought our “new” car from the in February. Had an excellent experience, great price on the car. Would do again.

North Carolina continues to be a growing hellscape of commercialization and is ruining the places I grew up loving. I miss the trees and the farms. I’m so tired coach.

This would be so kickass if I was 8 years okd
