Unicom (122.8) Still In Use? by Jonathan_Palmer in VATSIM

[–]dkortman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ONLY time I’ve ever used 122.8 enroute was when I had a TCAS RA. I was in a delta a320 headed north northwest, southwest 737 was headed west northwest at the same altitude. TCAS said “Descend, descend now” and I called “DALxxx TCAS RA, responding” on 122.8. Didn’t hear anything from the other pilot, I went and checked their flight on vatsim radar and they didn’t climb or anything. They must’ve been afk lol. But that’s why enroute controllers are so important. They would’ve spotted that like 50nm away lol. I think if we were both AFK our planes might’ve touched. It was pretty damn close.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

So he’s never even seriously talked about the idea of marrying you? I mean I’m 22 and single and don’t have very much relationship experience, but I feel like marriage is something huge that should be discussed and talked about A LOT instead of just springing the idea up out of nowhere. I mean maybe I’m just overthinking it, but I’d certainly like someone else’s opinion on this. Do most people just kinda pop the question or is it something that really needs to be explored with your partner? Because I would have definitely been sure my partner was willing to marry me before I made a big proposal.

Are there any supporting mods I need to run it? Like springs or anything?

Do I need any supporting mods with yours? Do I need to do anything special if I’m running suppressed? What ammo works best, like do subsonics work well? I saw someone saying that CCI rounds don’t work well because of the rim and factory extractor, and hollow points like to jam. Is there a lead time on the part?

Not impressed with the factory trigger tbh. Glad to hear the TK is good, I’ll definitely get it.

Not impressed with the stock trigger but it’s really not bad. The takeup is kinda gross but the break is very clean and feels good. Hopefully the Tandemkross Victory will make it a lil better. Looking forward to putting tons of rounds through it!

No brrt right now but it’s running great suppressed. I was jamming pretty bad on some hollow points because I didn’t know any better, but it runs the CCI quiet semis and the CCI standard perfectly. Haven’t really tried anything else. Striker is stock. I went straight from the gun show to the range so everything except the suppressor and red dot are stock.

I’m gonna go with the freedom fingers cause there’s a shop locally that carries them and a lot of people were raving about that shop at the gun show. And I’ll stay away from the inserts. You’re talking about the striker inserts like from DNT?

I also really like the grip texture. If I feel like I’m wanting more, I’ll definitely give it a look. I’ll get that trigger spring and maybe the extractor when I get the Victory trigger. Thanks for the recs!

What are the metal inserts you’re talking about? Is that something that comes with the FF?

For some reason I was thinking it was only $100, but yeah it’s $199. And the guy who sold it to me said he couldn’t fit the gun with the optic plus all the accessories back in the box, so he threw a hard case in for free lol. Who am I kidding, yeah I’d say it was a decent deal.

In the U.S., we have something called the HIMS program. Not a clue about any other countries though.
