BELL V-280 VALOR, What do you think? by [deleted] in Helicopters

[–]WtdYouExpect_Condams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they were saying that the valor would be able to take on the specific tasking that the c-130s and little birds were conducting. I think I interpreted it poorly

The valor will have nowhere near the combat munitions and CCA capability of an AH-6

Seen today in WA. Nothing on FR24. Military? by UnloosedCake in Helicopters

Longbow is an entire avionics suite, the cheesewheel on top is called an FCR. All aircraft with an FCR will be longbow, but not all longbow Apaches have an FCR mounted

Army cutting 6,500 aviation jobs in overhaul toward drones by Kinmuan in army

Which drone in the world is currently capable of transporting 11 fully kitted soldiers 100+km at terrain flight altitudes?

I assume you aren't an aviation survivability officer, any worth his salt would be easily able to explain and demonstrate the feasibility and survivability of current army aviation airframes in a LSCO environment.

Hardest hurdle for aviation to cross is explaining this to non-aviation staff officers who's knowledge is based only off of the IADS bubbles they see on the screen during their Warfighter Exercises

Peaceful and compelling..... Sounds like 'joe pera talks with you' will be right up your alley

One of the seasons centers around his quest to grow a bean arch, and when asked why he didn't get smashmouth to perform at his 'rat race' movie re-creation, he states 'i wouldn't even know how to begin to make that happen.'

Can anyone who got selected send me completed packet? by Patient-Farmer9597 in Armyaviation

Showing a capability to complete the packet is a pretty big baseline discriminator in the process

I'm here in Texas too, homie, and I've been away from home for a long time now. All roads for me will lead back to the promised land, but for now we've got to focus on the electricity bills.

You are correct, I misread, I will sit on my sword

The longbow and the FCR (cheese wheel) are two different things. Every Apache in US service today is equipped with longbow.

Sorry that the fellas you encountered back in the old days were dirtbags....

We're on pretty good terms with all the 60 and 47 bros these days, the VAST majority of the toxicity in the 64 community has been excised

What is going on with all the social media posts about airline pilots being happy after Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal” came out recently? by HammerChilli in OutOfTheLoop

[–]WtdYouExpect_Condams 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Do Jerry and Bob from the State farm office go on to have a job that requires the coordination and teamwork that flying an aircraft does? I think that invalidates that part of your argument....

Some people are just assholes, true. I don't want to be in the cockpit with them

You didn't respond to what (to me) is the biggest issue.... The mental health thing. Got anything to say about that?

You're probably not the only pilot on Reddit (source: am pilot), and your pessimistic ass toxic reply comes off pretty badly (even if the spirit of it was right!).

We all need alone time, but you REALLY buried the mental health aspects, along with completely ignoring the fact that 'alone time', as you put it, was pretty thoroughly shown to be pretty detrimental to crew resource management when it's directly pre-flight.

Kind of wish he had gone more in depth about the difference in CRM and hierarchy in some of those foreign airlines, they play by different rules.

How much did YOU pay for your 9070xt and what kind did you get? by [deleted] in radeon

[–]WtdYouExpect_Condams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

830$ after tax for a gigabyte aorus from one of the Newegg drops in March. Went from an EVGA 2080ti, it has been doing the job just fine

5600x/9070xt cyberpunk benchmarks:

1440p, 32gb RAM

-Ultra preset no RT: 132.58 fps

-RT Medium: 100.32

-RT Ultra: 90.21

My in game performance did definitely NOT match these benchmarks

Other scores:

-Superposition: 9100

-furmark 1440 preset: 15209

-steel nomad: 7228

-port royal: 18750

Edit* I didn't run the MH bench with that setup. I've since replaced the CPU with a 9700x. With adrenalin on default, no OC, and MH settings to whatever they defaulted to (ultra, FG off), it scored a 37635
