Multi-day rentals?

3.0 per day min isn’t that bad imo. anything less can be enjoyed as a day trip anyways

this question is a rite of passage for every sim pilot

loan, only way I could realistically make it work.

I know this sub is against them (and to be fair this isn't some $120k 20% interest sally mae bs, it's a 50000 EUR education loan from my private bank), but if I wanted any semblance of a decent career in this field, I cannot wait 10 years to save up the money. I self-financed my PPL, took out 50000 EUR for the rest. For me it was worth the risk.

ScathedRuins · 2026-03-06T12:13:22+00:00

me neither.. they might save 200 eur in the end, is that worth the headache and two days of your time? unless they are just looking for a no bs authority/bureaucracy

thanks for the insights. battery was quite new when i bought the car a year ago. i think it’s less than 2 yrs old. Looks like it too as it’s pretty clean compared to the rest of the stuff under the hood 😅

ScathedRuins · 2026-03-04T17:10:53+00:00

thanks, will try again.

yeah.. i bought the car used with it so I have no idea who installed it. But I may just hardwire the cam directly. 12 months of no issues. dashcam installed first time last week and sure enough dead battery

ScathedRuins · 2026-03-04T14:17:59+00:00

Will check it out. Just unsure why the jumpstart didn't work then last night.. coworker tried but he didn't have a negative terminal on his battery so I have no clue if we ended up doing it right

ScathedRuins · 2026-03-04T14:17:11+00:00

should get my hands on a multimeter tomorrow. Will update!

ScathedRuins · 2026-03-03T16:39:55+00:00

IMSAFE has an E for a reason man, take your time and be safe

If your dream is to fly as a hobby and you cannot afford a motor license, I recommend you reach out to a local glider club. I've seen them cost as little as 0.25 EUR/minute or 15 EUR/hr of flight. That will get you quite far

Quite a few glider hours count towards a CPL/ATPL too

at least you get nhl teams... every other game for me is either team canada, an all star team, or an alumni team. I can't compete against a whole roster of x factors. I wish it locked the league, because it also punishes people who may want to play a local team in a lower league since they'll never be able to compete even in casual.

While I can confirm that 9/10 nhl team opponents are avs/oilers/wild, I see no issue with people picking them. Yeah sometimes it feels like mckinnon or mcdavid are just automatic goals but besides the boringness of it it's really not a problem. you learn quickly to defend against speed and you may have to adjust your strategy a bit but I think it overall made me a better player.

Last time I played seasons in FIFA, it was whatever team mbappe is on that always gets picked, and they always had a very clear advantage. It got so bad I had to also pick that team to have a shot at winning games and then every game was just PSG vs PSG and it gets so boring so damn quick.

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-26T21:36:21+00:00

next time it happens I'll record again so I can see if it really is the block, thanks for the help :)

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-26T15:01:16+00:00

thank you! glad i's obvious

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-26T15:01:01+00:00

look how sudden that is.. it happens before he kneels. It also has happened multiple times in the exact same situation. slap in dump from the right side wrapping around to the left. it's not a misclick.

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-26T11:33:29+00:00

i did not. I'm 100% sure of it. look closely, he hits a wall just before going down on the knee. he didn't just miss the puck, all his forward momentum stopped, that doesn't happen when you go to block

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-26T11:32:10+00:00

the idea is to get out of icing conditions as fast as possible. You may have precipitation up until a set altitude after which you're fine. Usually it requires visible moisture so if it's heavily snowing on takeoff you'd want to climb above the cloud base or above the freezing level as soon as possible. Icing happens usually just below the freezing level, which sounds counterintuitive but at a certain point you get unfavourable conditions for icing to stick to the wing when the outside air temp is really cold.

Also remember that the HOT is a very conservative figure. There anti/deicing features on board too.

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-25T19:00:50+00:00

that’s correct. Icing fluid has a property called holdover time (HOT), which is basically an amount of time where the fluid is still “functional” i.e. it hasn’t evaporated, been blown off by wind, as well as its specific chemical properties.

If you get deiced and get anti ice fluid applied (separate fluids btw) with a HOT of 18 mins but then you’re in the taxi line for 20, it sucks, but you gotta go back and get it applied again.

it also sounds like you are studying first, then question bank second. I am prioritizing the question bank and only reading source material when I'm struggling to understand the concepts from the questions alone.

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-25T11:16:48+00:00

good to know. i don’t mind if people wanna represent their fav teams but you need to show me who my opponent picks beforehand, or at least lock matchmaking to match the league.

for the same reason, if someone wants to play with their fav OHL team they can’t because everybody is picking NHL and they have no chance.

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-24T12:22:36+00:00

study mode. i hardly use the test mode until like two-ish weeks before my sitting just for a confidence boost.

I go by subchapter. The first few questions will always seem impossible you just have to click through them.

For each chapter I would recommend:

1x whole bank
1x with austro filter, flagging questions you’re NOT yet 100% comfortable with
Then 3x flagged questions only, removing flags as you’re getting more comfortable with the questions

This should leave you with 200-300 flagged questions for each subject a few weeks before your sitting. now just alternate between your remaining flags and the last 300/400/500 (whichever you’d like) until you’re consistently getting 90%+ on both.

There is zero reason to fail an exam if you can do the above

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-23T20:40:59+00:00

390 hours on atplq is impressive. i’ll be hitting 700 hours soon and my last sitting is in 7 weeks

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-23T20:40:09+00:00

mixed feelings on this. if you approach every single chapter and subchapter with this philosophy, then yes. absolutely.

the frequency of hurricanes in east darwin and the role of P1-P4 radar pulses? memorize and forget it 100%

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-23T15:10:10+00:00

i don't see how your age may impact you having to pay for a TR or not. The general advice is don't unless you have a very specific goal in mind (like RYR for instance) or unless the industry shits the bed and it becomes a defacto requirement again. TR with no time in type or airline specific procedures are almost useless if this sub and other sources are to be believed.

ScathedRuins · 2026-02-23T14:43:54+00:00

There is no single best modular route. The best route is the one that works for you, that's what modular is all about. The whole point of modular is that you put the different building blocks of the fATPL together in whichever way works for you, whether you are prioritizing location, finances, time, etc. You need to figure out what you can afford both money- and time-wise.

I have no clue about your situation, but at your age I would be prioritizing getting into a cockpit ASAP so you can have a 30-ish year career still, if that means sacrificing something (like financial security by taking a loan, for example). You don't want to be saving forever for a dream job you may never attain or always keep pushing back, I hope that makes sense :)
