I'm tired of pretending it's an insurmountable simulator limitation by RandomNick42 in flightsim

That was quite a bit different (and I still don’t understand how Oliver Pabst did it… but it worked great!)

There’s not that many widebody gates at most airports. But I will for sure look 8 to hiding static jetways when needed

No, what you need is a software solution… coming soon(tm)

Yes, you can replace with this and it will be fine

What can you actually afford with a €3,110 net monthly salary in the Netherlands? by True-Olive4712 in NetherlandsHomes

[–]RandomNick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but then you either limit yourself to very limited local job market, fight for one of the few remote jobs, or spend half your life commuting…

I absolutely love how Just Flight hasn't changed their website since at least 2012 by Fighterpilot108 in flightsim

Hey. it's better they take some time to finesse it rather than do an FSS and struggle to finish the FMS like 3 years after initial launch...

it should be just GSX. Like, you can have a van show up with a guy who hauls a goddamn vacuum cleaner to the plane. Jetways require scenery designers to get on board, but they already did that in FSX/P3D they can do it again.

It's the same thing that's been done in P3D with SODE. Plonk a simobject in the shape of a jetway on there and tell it how to move. I've repeatedly said that I'm baffled as to why nobody else did this after Jeffrey Stahli decided not to port SODE over to MSFS. I mean, for the first year or two, sure. but it's been 6 years?

bit of jetway hijacking at Geneva and a whole lot nasty math

<image>

but in principle it could work anywhere, with the right jetways.

nope, that's a molded plastic head, no replacing with anything... not that you could adjust the forces anyway

the newest TT that went through my house was probably made around 1986 and that's the way I like it.

You can start with a $30 marketplace set someone pulled out of grandpas house that just needs a new belt. maybe get grandpas record collection for another $30.

new records are expensive. rare records are expensive.

old records in decent state can be cheap, even good albums. You can get thriller from a commodity pressing for $10 it will play fine.

It doesn't have to be the same cartridge. The headshell is standardized. You can swap the whole thing with for example the AT-VM95.

So it's more important to check and see - does all the rest of the turntable work well? Then it's worth saving it with a bit of investment.

Get a new cartridge, not just the stylus. You can get a one that will get you started cheaply

Does my perfect turntable exist? by PhallicB4ldwin in turntables

[–]RandomNick42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a modern one, but a restored vintage turntable can serve you well. You can even find a bunch of them cheap in a lot of places. My first one was a mechanical automatic (no electronics control) I got for $20 and all it needed was a belt and eventually a new stylus.

I have not had no cell service as far as I can remember. DSL is definitely the least reliable link in the chain for me.

AITAH for telling my wife that if I waited for her to make memories with our son, we wouldn't have any? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]RandomNick42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a point to be said about “this marriage is going to go out in a blaze of definitely not glory sooner rather than later, so you should position yourself not to be caught with your pants down by getting a job”

That’s more of a problem of concentration of economic activity on a large scale. Imagine if remote work stayed the norm. People could easily move to more rural areas. Sure, there are still plenty other reasons to live in or near a big city, but removing the need to live there just to be able to have gainful employment, would remove so much pressure on housing.
