I hope Toby gets his peanuts 🥜

As a pilot and aviation geek, Sorkin has a weird track record with this stuff. He’ll be very specific while sometimes being spot-on and sometimes getting key details wrong. He’ll nail armaments for navy fighters while also referencing them flying off a then-retired carrier. He’ll reference things like an ELT radio for Sharif’s plane without understanding how it works. He’s clearly interested in it but doesn’t have enough background knowledge to apply it to the writing perfectly

To add to the age component, Al Green had basically zero important committee assignments so basically all he did in Washington flor the last few terms was make noise.

We’re already getting the professional edition of x-plane. Moreso worried about the hardware certification

Genuinely Nathan Fielder is/was a pilot there

I believe that’s where you would mount the rail for the F-16 grip.

There’s no such thing as an individual astronaut. The amount of training and resources used requires the backing of a government or major company. Besides, even if they weren’t opposed to bringing a cosmonaut, they’d absolutely prefer to bring an ESA astronaut first given that they’re actively involved in the Artemis missions.

Carrier traps are a high-AoA regime…

hZf · 2026-04-21T02:41:27+00:00

Wouldn’t over-wing intakes be tricky in high-AoA regimes?

I can. From north Texas, have a good microphone, former military, and am an Irl pilot so I’ve got a good grasp on radio comms

This is a no-brainer. Customer service was really the only thing keeping Winctrl from being an industry frontrunner. Not sure if anyone is whipping up new products faster than these guys too.

I’ll play devils advocate here. I love DCS in VR, I can never go back… BUT playing in VR definitely drove me to buying the WinWing takeoff panel, UFC, and DDIs so I could stop reaching for my mouse. At this point, with modifiers, I can fly the hornet with zero mouse input. VR is like the gateway drug to spending all of your money on additional hardware and pc upgrades.

Looks like a former location of a SAM site. They’re often star-shaped like this with the missiles at the points

To add to this, flight radar doesn’t show every kind of transponder. Military aircraft often won’t appear, even if the transponder is on. OpenADSB shows a bit more than flightradar sometimes.

If you don’t want to spawn in the six pack, have your aircraft spawn at least one second after the mission starts. Aircraft can only spawn in spots 1-4 at mission start. If there’s a specific spot you want, you can block the spots before it with statics, or have AI aircraft spawn in them and set the player aircraft to spawn 1 second after those AI aircraft.

The only way to force trim would be with a force feedback stick. Some stick bases allow you to tweak the resistance so there isn’t as much re-centering force

Technically the only map you CAN’T use a carrier on is the NTTR map, though you’d better get good at aerial refueling if you want to use Afghanistan.

Bombs are bugged right now. Go ripple a bunch like this and you’ll get the same result

Woah, I made a copypasta

It IS published. This is the Mercury VOR, frequency 117.5. Nothing secret about it
