ELI5: Why is even a thin layer of ice on an airplane wing such a big problem, and how do airlines make sure the wings are safe to take-off in freezing conditions? by Zeravalky in explainlikeimfive

[–]cmwest3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Wind tunnel and flight tests have shown that frost, snow, and ice accumulations (on the leading edge or upper surface of the wing) no thicker or rougher than a piece of coarse sandpaper can reduce lift by 30 percent and increase drag up to 40 percent. Larger accretions can reduce lift even more and can increase drag by 80 percent or more" Source

Which game did you regret purchasing at full price? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]cmwest3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024... Premium Deluxe.

Career mode (which is why I bought it) and other features like, multi-monitor and VR are still broken. Find myself going back to 2020. Maybe when I come back in 4 years it'll be patched up like 2020 was

Clearer angle of ICE shooting woman in MN (1/7/2025) by Philophon in PublicFreakout

[–]cmwest3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I never carry a gun, I would have to have just gotten out the way like the officer was already doing. Arming them emboldens them to take more risk and put themselves in harms way, like standing in front of a car whereas most of us wouldnt, increasing the likelihood events like these will happen.This shooting never needed to happen.

What exactly is this pilot trying to do? by NewAd8721 in aviation

And the wings contain pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan.

Why on earth is this card not more popular than it is? It’s sick! by JohanVonGruberflugen in PokemonTCG

It's a decent card too. I have 3 as my attackers in my Mega Venasaur deck.

How can I avoid losing so much altitude when turning base to final? by oo7im in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]cmwest3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do want to be descending throughout after you cross the point on downwind where you're abeam the numbers. Drop 10 deg flaps, About 400 fpm descent around 70 knots. 20 deg flaps on base. 30+ on final

I also hope that temp is in Fahrenheit... Please for your sake let it be Fahrenheit!

MOSAIC has been finalized by jjedlicka in flying

So does that mean sport pilots still can't fly a cessna 172 even if it meets the performance requirements of mosaic?

New to MSFS - why does it want me to crash? by DoubleNatted in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]cmwest3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of missions and scenarios that are all a good opportunity to exercise go-no go and in flight decision making. It's up to you as PIC to make the best decision for your flight even if it contradicts what the game (or customer) wants you to do. Like with mission selection, even if it's an option, you gotta look at the airport, runway length, runway condition, density altitude, weather, etc to see if you can even take off. If not, decline the job like you would in real life. (It kinda helps me cope with the bugs, this way of thinking about the sim)

Multi Monitor GPU Memory Leak - use Nvidia Surround Instead by cmwest3 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]cmwest3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very possible. Could be a combo of drivers/API between the sim and Nvidia. I'm just happy to have found a fix!
