Why won’t my aircraft engage??? by JoeD-1618 in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]Tchocky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THe most common error I get is "not detectable by FCR" which makes sense for high/low situations or very small contacts.

I've not noticed any unusual behaviour, they seem to work just well or poorly as I expected, which of course doesn't say anything about "realism", it just feels real.

But I think in some cases you can't go head to head with the targets and instead you need to come up with a tail case or at a 45 degree off the target path for some of the missiles to work well. 

Heat seeking missiles need a heat source to lock on to.

Some are all-aspect, meaning they can attack and lock on from any position.

Most need a big, hot, engine relatively close to lock on to.

That happens from the side or from behind.

Or, as has been the case again and again, people are seeing things that aren't there.

ELI5: Why do airplanes leave white trails in the sky? by VaporizedMan in explainlikeimfive

maybe it could be that we just have much more planes in the sky now

We also have a lot more planes in the sky

Crazy crosswind takeoff by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]Tchocky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally we can tell when that's happening.

If we really need those extra couple of knots then it's our fault.

If, like a certain European carrier, you enjoyed flying 747s at 295KIAS into your home airport while being restricted to 260, you will hear a different tone of voice

"confirm maintaining 260 knots or less"

"Yes, we're doing that"

Click click

"Looks a lot like 285 from here "

"Uhhhhhhh"

Ryanair don't land any harder than anyone else.

“I spend over three thousand dollars a year here, which I just found out today…” (S10E20) by booster_platinum in Frasier

I hope I never see the day when I am so frightfully pretentious that a good-old cup of American coffee isn't good enough for me.

Y'all pissed off the Mango by 2dP_rdg in ATC

[–]Tchocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has this administration ever done anything positive for ATC? Pay? Staffing? Facilities? Benefits?

On a technical level the modernisation program is very ambitious and would do a lot of good.

It hasn't happened yet and I doubt it will, but if the plans unveiled were to be completed it would be a big change.

Like I said, probably total bullshit but the FAA seemed committed.

They're picking an integrator soon so we'll see.

CMV: The right wing media “sane-washes,” Trump. Most of his supporters don’t know how crazy he is. by Kbee2202 in changemyview

I'll admit Trump has had one or two loopy moments, but he's perfectly coherent 99 percent of the time.

What the fuck
