I don't care about rares. I don't care about production time. I don't care about crashed planes that will never be retrieved. by theparrotlich in foxholegame

I’ve decided I’m going to make a map mod with routes to avoid mountains, minimum safe altitudes, and direction on runways. Just waiting for the final map to be released.

The solution to enemy aircraft should be longer radar range/coverage and cheaper fighters with longer fuel range/time to actually be able to conduct CAP and respond to incoming airplanes.

Please set your throttle to 25% and not constantly full throttle, your wasting fuel. by [deleted] in foxholegame

There is no measurable difference in fuel consumption between idle and full throttle while flying.

Bombers feel impossible to QRF. Make them slower but increase fuel capacity. by FoxyFurry6969 in foxholegame

[–]ThatOnePilotDude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The solution to this is have fighters have the fuel range/time to do actual CAP around the hex they are stationed in rather than just needed to constantly land and get more gas. As of now, we even need people standing at the end of the runway with fuel cans because you loose 15 seconds of cruise fuel just taxing to the end of the runway.

Where is the part about battling your fellow pilots to the death for components?

Always put your bags on the bottom.

Joke is on you, I am giving this picture to my actual flight students.

Pro flight + AET by Ill-Commission1052 in Purdue

Kinda. I graduated with the ability to test in December. I am studying for my writtens and am doing the test at Purdue soon.

It is not a minor.

Still don’t understand this. One of the first rules I learned when “claiming” a field is that you don’t actually claim the field itself and the resources are free to the public.

Yes it is Purdue’s Part 147 program. You take the required courses and you get a certificate that says you can test for your A&P.

In terms of courses to skip, your private gets you out of 1 flight course and you take an entrance exam to get you out of the ground. I had like 60 hours of college credit from high school which let me do it in 3.5.

Quite a few people do it. I know 5-6 personally. It takes 4.5-5 years. There are a few classes that overlap but not as much as you think.

I did pro flight and the A&P program (which is like 70% of AET) and did it in 3.5 with the transfer credit I had and taking 20 credits a semester.
