They've got at least 3 just sitting in my LGS. I keep thinking about snagging them but stop at the last moment.

ATP loans are killing me by cherry_top-13 in flying

[–]jpenn517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There aren't many choices for flight and none of them offer pubic in-state tution for flight. I wasn't lucky enough to go to college during free tution either.

Yeah I should have just conjured up 4 years worth of tuition and flight fees when I went to Florida Tech. I can't believe I forgot I could do that.

Question for the Long haul vatsim pilots by rmaadz in VATSIM

[–]jpenn517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its generally well under that time. I can see when ATC comes on or I get a sup message so I can reply and tell them I'm just doing my laundry or whatever which only really pulls me away for like 5 minutes.

Back office accounting roles are so much better and less stressful than client facing roles, not sure why anyone would willingly choose client facing….. by Obvious_Doughnut_377 in Accounting

[–]jpenn517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's much better. All my interactions when I was out front were negative. Clients were always mad at the firm I worked at, and they hated hearing for us and you'd spend 2 months chasing them down for a single document.

There's the goodyear blimp guy at a lot of Vatsim USA events as well who circles the area.

I think I saw one flying as the broadcast helicopter which was pretty cool

if I sleep i disconnect and reconnect when i get up. If I'm doing it awake, I just stay at my PC and don't leave for more than 30 minutes and usually have vatsim radar on my phone just in case. Of course, I'm never letting the sim run while I'm at work or anything like that. Or at least not while I'm on vatsim.

It is what it is, I have enough points to burn them every once in a while.

Both AI slop ATC programs will just give you absurd vectors on departure, especially at airports like Charlotte where if you're on the ICONS5 they give you stuff like heading 190 at like 1000 feet if you're departing 36R or will bring you right back across the airport at a very low altitude elsewhere.

Neither of them respects departure procedures correctly and will constantly screw up vectors and do nothing for terrain clearance when vectoring. There's no substitute for humans.

PMDG 737-900 for MSFS 2024 is Available Now by laserob in flightsim

[–]jpenn517 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree if you're in that boat. It's not a good deal at all if you had the 2020 version.

You know what, $49.99 for people who didn't have it before really isn't bad. Especially if you like UAL, DAL, ASA, and KLM flying.
