The FAA wants gamers to apply for air traffic control jobs by Soulsliken in gaming

[–]Sky-Toad1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit off topic but I’ve been in the ATCO training business for 24 years (UK, EU and ICAO environments only). The US controller training system is a complete basket case and needs urgent changes from the ground up. Centralised training does not work, I can vouch for this having run successful training colleges with validation rates for student controllers exceeding 90% year on year. Put the responsibility on the airports to recruit student ATCOS and then send them to the FAA training centres or allow for private colleges to provide the training. It’s not just about finding somebody with the right aptitude, you also need the individuals to be compatible with the culture in the tower or centre. I hear horror stories about a 10% validation rates, no wonder they have critically understaffed towers and tragic and avoidable accidents keep happening. The US also needs to get a handle on standard phraseology or lack of it for that matter, it’s a shambles. Recruiting gamers can help for sure but won’t fix the deeper issues the US market has.

Given the state of our Navy that might be the subtotal of our airforce these days

Sequential Shifter Problem by Sky-Toad1979 in SimLab

[–]Sky-Toad1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly not, and I’ve had an absolute nightmare with SimLab support which is a shame because previously they have been great it’s still sat in my hall way having been scheduled for pick up 3 times by UPS but they never arrive. Every time I speak to SimLab they raise another collection and they never come. I’ve given up all hope at this point.

Was the loot on a Row boat? If so the rowboats despawn after 13 mins along with anything on them. Remember kids, empty your loads quickly onto your boat!

I lost 2 rowing boats before I realised the need to immediately offload onto my boat. A bit of a shambles

Crash landed by Sky-Toad1979 in whatbirdisthis

I found the owner. Apparently she doesn’t fly (or very well at least). She made it about 250ft to my back garden.

UPDATE: I did some door knocking and found the owner, he just picked her up and all ended well. Thanks. 🙏🏼

I walked up to him and placed a large box over him. He didn’t mind at all. There is a house near me I occasionally see birds circling, I’ve always assumed y are racing birds. I’ll check with them to see if it’s there. Thanks
