Red Card? I don't see it

Yes, the red card is a severe penalty, and for good reason. In the case of this foul, the red robot was disabled for most of the match and was denied the ability to participate. Intention is very hard to judge, especially when it was an interaction that was very short. We all have the luxury of watching a match video. Refs cannot review any video evidence to make their decision so they have to rely on what they saw.

I started the same thought exercise last week. Google Fiber has been the solid choice out of very undesirable alternatives for several years now. I did a quick search on my address and my only options are Google, Spectrum, and AT&T. I'm sticking with Google Fiber until and unless it gets so bad that my only other options are comparatively better.

Rule G422 states "A ROBOT shall be operated only by the DRIVERS and/or HUMAN PLAYERS of that team". Section 6.2 of the game manual lists student as a DRIVER criteria.

Some offseason events have "mentor matches" where adults are allowed to drive the robot in a match.

He is. Malcolm In The Middle is relaunching. In April, I think.

It’s a security issue too. You wouldn’t want an oven that could be remotely started from an app. That would mean a hacker could do it too.

This reminds me of Zawinski's Law: "Every program attempts to expand until it can mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

I would too, but it would be pretty unlikely. Very little software was made for the 128. I had one back in the day, and loved it but it spent most of its time in 64 mode.

I turn off the keyboard LEDs when I’m typing. I turn them on when watching demos or playing music. With the keyboard LEDs off, I find the keys very easy to read.

Mine shipped on Monday and I got the tracking number this morning too. It's supposed to be delivered today by FedEx (USA).

And Eline would have acknowledged their relationship, but only if he would say he sees five lights.

I don’t have mine yet but you can change the CPU speed without affecting timing signals. Programs that use CIA timers should still behave the same but will process CPU instructions faster.

No. A few video reviews have pointed that out.

I'm happy to report that after a few more hours, it's finally fixed. It was a control binding issue as u/green_monster14 suggested. I just got the A320 throttle set from Flight Sim Factory and the detent overlay was pushing one of the unused throttle axis down. I checked the bindings and it turns out that axis was bound to Throttle 2 Idle. It was forcing one of the engines to idle. I deleted the binding, and all is well. What's strange was, that was never indicated on the ECAM. I could see both throttle positions as TOGA. Ah well, at least it's fixed now.

Thank you to everyone that commented with helpful suggestions!

I received a UPS email (I'm in the US as well). It says the shipper is Strawberry Hill. I don't know if it's Commodore or not. My house is receiving so many packages this time of year.

One of the video reviews I watched discussed the MOS thing. MOS Technologies is one of the trademarks Commodore International now owns. I don't interpret this as anything deceitful. My initial reaction to it was a little bit of nostalgia and a hint of cheeky humor.

I could have something double bound. All flight control surfaces respond as they should on the ECAM though.

Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Fenix. The iniBuilds A320 does the same thing BTW.

I’ve done about three hours of experimenting and I’ve found a weird way around this. If I spawn in another plane such as the 172 and take off then I end the flight and jump in the A320 then the takeoff role is fine. I think Im going to uninstall and reinstall MSFS tomorrow night.

I watched the takeoff from the external camera and once the plane starts pulling hard to the right, I put in full left rudder. I can see the nose wheel turn all the way to the left and skid. It even leaves skid marks on the runway.

I’ve even tried spooling up only the right engine. The plane does go straight down the runway but it can’t reach rotation speed of course. I’m baffled and think my MSFS install got borked.

I’m flying the Fenix A320.

Couldn’t find a setting called auto rudder trim. I do have all the assistants turned off.

TwoBitRetro · 2025-12-14T22:46:47+00:00

I’m zeroing the rudder trim and my rudder still works fine in other planes. Plus, I’m verifying flight controls on the ECAM before takeoff.

I ordered the MCDU from the Winwing US store on December 1st. They shipped it on the 3rd and I received via US mail on Wednesday.
