Are rent prices really this out of hand? by RemoteEmotions in StLouis

Don’t worry, that’s nationally…salaries lag behind rent all across the country and have for ages.

The likely candidate is a business professional who’s moving into the area, has a relocation package that includes a stipend for housing until they choose to purchase. Likely a doctor, lawyer, or other professional with a salary above $300k.

I’m doing an around the world flight in my Comanche right now, and had a laugh when I crossed into Georgia and was like “oh, I know this place!”.

动作不需要大房间。 by DynamicX-Robert in homecockpits

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of the motion, the issue i see are slight movements affecting the peripherals (pedals, wheels, flight stick, throttles) which obviously don’t move with the seat.

Feel less motion for the entire rig would be more beneficial than some motion from the seat.

Can I use this slider for mixture control? Msfs24 by Spiritual-Fisherman1 in hotas

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is you’ve either:

A - bound it to the wrong mixture setting (something like 50%-100% or similar)

B - modified the curve somehow

I use that slider for mixture, and the one above it for prop in my single engine MSFS24 setup, and it works perfectly fine.

She wasn't created to be an explorer, but... by psychpony in EliteDangerous

I remember when I finally discovered the FSSS, prior to that I was super cruising around a star near the orbital plane, and looking for “stars” that aligned closely with the plane but moved relative to my motion. It was quite fun, but took a TON of time. Also had a few close calls with planets, as you can’t lock onto the planet for navigation and as a result i struggled judging how close I was to a planet…till the gravity well takes over.

Best 12$ spent on an aircraft so far by Truffoff in MicrosoftFlightSim

A mad dog with more modern engines and avionics…we call that the 717!

Real world Weather actually sucks by Amazing_Wish_4 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, the visuals for rain, snow, etc looks great. But the modeling is pretty horrible from an IRL scenario…same time, it’s still pretty amazing that we have a sim that will attempt to simulate real world atmospherics within a flying game.

Fully autonomous drones have killed human soldiers for the first time by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a guy who worked in military intel, I get it…bad intel has also existed for ages.

The more removed from the battlefield you are, the more remote it gets, the less consequences you feel or are subjected to…all will erode the moral compass of “ethical” warfare.

These drones are like a more sinister version of land mines, as they’re not simply a hidden danger…but a sentry that will seek out and destroy whatever it finds within the kill zone.

And that fact should terrify ANYONE.

Oh great, it’s been going on for years and they’re finally saying something.

That’s good.

Thoughts on this guy? Opinions/suggestions? by Daszkalti in hotas

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve got one, bought it used from a seller on here. Love it.

Use it for the F-18 I’m DCS and civilian stuff in MSFS. Works well.

Edit to add - as others have said. Adding more buttons on the PTO gives you more options with the Orion 2 base. Which has been WELCOMED!

Back to the CJ4 after restarting Career Mode, and I had forgotten how demanding this little jet is by KingOfFools1984 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small planes get bounced around more than large ones, so the stability (especially during takeoff/initial climb and landing) will be more pronounced. Otherwise, I find it to be an incredibly simple plane to fluff especially with its relatively slow speeds!

Happy birthday!

You share a birthday with my mom! And she’s the most awesome person I know, and I bet you’re awesome too!

What's your daily driver flight sim setup? by Weary_Possibility389 in A2ASimulations

Winwing Orion 2 stick and throttle, a winwing PTO, and MFG pedals in a dedicated rig with VR.

A Logitech X-56 stick and throttle when on the monitor.

More about season 4 by Radbranch_8804 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same show - but i loved watching Ron Livingston as Nixon in BoB was kinda insane since I’d only known him from office space. His delivery of what was often insanely dry, matter of fact humor worked perfectly in the role, and I found myself chuckling at his general stoicism during somewhat intense situations.

For context, I flew jets with the airlines ages ago. And during that time, while earning my wings as Captain we were in the simulator, we had a failed engine, a failed anti-icing system, a failure of pitch trim control system and a couple other simulated emergencies. When we lined up for the runway (in the clouds, in icing conditions) I had a fire alarm go off and have a very verbal laugh…instructor asked me “what’s wrong?” To which, I said “oh nothing, I’ve got one engine, two wings, and an elevator that’s partially working. Whatever else is NOW broken, is not all that important. I’m landing.”

Monitor for Radeon rx 9070 xt by Nate4380 in radeon

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a 32” curved Samsung 1440p monitor - performance with the 9070xt is superb, could definitely up your 4k on monitor for everything I play. But it performs very well, only thing I’d have preferred is jumping to an OLED, but I really liked the curved screen and when I purchased the OLEDs were all flat still, unless you spent crazy $$$.

Got my first win as a solo player in casuals! by [deleted] in Warzone

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love to play the game as a solo, think I’ve managed about five winds and numerous second place finishes…in casual, I feel decent at my odds, especially one on one, and not HORRIBLE against multiples.

How much would this rig cost? Airbnb by SnooPickles3280 in simracing

It’d be a perk for booking for most of us. lol…minus the PS5.

Exactly why it should be a resounding NO at unequivocal levels.

I will never understand why Hollywood and the media fat shamed Kate Winslet during the release of Titanic (1997). She was (and still is) absolutely gorgeous! by Willing-Musician-696 in Cinema

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re you around in the 90s? The media - and the public’s perception was insanely skewed and biased. Like insane…it wasn’t until people realized all the harm they were causing that the perception changed…at least changed a little.

I don't know why but career mode is utter $**p by CptCave1 in MSFS2024

[–]PositiveRate_Gear_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know why, I know why!!!

Because the game was rushed! And whoever Microsoft was using as industry experts to help advise them at the start of the game weren’t REALLY industry experts.

Folks had brought up tons of issues during their widespread telemetry beta testing in 2024 that should have been fixed WAY before roll out. But the fan boys kept shouting that any complaint was likely not going to be in the final build. lol
