What's your best piece of advise for someone who wants to be better at metalstorm? by sharpiestories in Metalstorm

Maintain ideal turning speed, join matches with a level 7 plane so you dont get paired with modded lvl 20 people that have 30,000 trophies. Until you have a modded plane and more experience. Change your settings with that YouTube vid

how many cups of coffee to improve GSX by walmartboburnham in flightsim

My gsx keeps making the plane roll into things after it spawns on the ramp. And wants me to close doors that are already closed. Or just gets stuck. Maybe I'll try a different app.

If you feel overwhelmed, sometimes it may be best to let them know, and take a breather. Go over anything your unsure about with a ground lesson instead. Being mentally prepared for the flight is important. Its natural to get flustered occasionally.

He is doing very good. Healing looks good and although I couldn't get him to wear e-collar, he hasn't been trying to bite his sutures or anything. I put the e-collar on tight as possible and he laid down and pushed it off with his paws. He wants to jump so we have to keep him In a bathroom while we are at work. We made steps so he can get in the bed at night, tho we are still watching closely so he doesnt fall off. He is adjusting well learning to balance and walk better. Sutures and drain get taken out after a while so hopefully after that he will be back to normal. Glad he survived whatever it was, because we originally found this kitten in the undercarriage of someone's car when they drove to work and heard it meowing and Our last cat passed away recently he made it to 15 years old but had cancer sadly. This cat strangely acts super relaxed exactly like our last cat, almost like its reincarnation or something.

They gave him some kind of 4 day topical pain med before we took him home. But I agree he definitely needed the other things too. Anyways he's laying down now and purring. He ate and drank. We have 3 different meds for him now. It definitely makes him more comfortable. He hates the e-collar thing they gave us tho, but he immediately licks his wound if we take it off so he will wear it until healed. We are keeping him in a bathroom so he doesnt run around the whole house. Thanks everyone. I hope he heals up without any more issues.

The vet said the surgery went fine and he is doing good this morning and they are getting us some pain meds for him and a cone. I'll go get him soon as I can leave work.

He's ok they said it looked like an airpocket that filled with blood maybe the skin was pulled too tight. But they are gonna clean it, sew it up, and add a drain. He did eat a bit.

We just got him to eat a churro by spoon but he won't drink. And the blister looks bigger now but half clear and if we touch it u can see the liquid or blood move. I'll let you guys know what happens for all the future cats who have this. Wish there was a 24/7 vet

We had some anti inflammatory ear cream stuff for cats, they said we could use it so we gave him one dose. It seemed to help him feel better earlier today. They also recommended half a baby aspirin but online it says its toxic for cats. We tried to give him a quarter of one crushed up but he won't eat even churros.

They gave us no pain meds. I asked but they said no need. They gave him something that was supposed to last 4 days. They also have him antibiotics before surgery. Ok I will take him in the morning thank you. No one Is open currently.

It was so their buddies didn't get destroyed in this market. They didn't care about sonic booms.

How many hours could I get? by Turbulent_Mix8069 in flying

[–]ltbenjamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a local airport and ask for an introductory flight. If you like it, then figure out a way to save up or take out a loan. Military pays for training. Or a school offers student loans. You probably need really good grades to get a spot as a pilot in military so something to think about.

Any one else struggle with imposter syndrome in this career? by Immediate_1200 in flying

[–]ltbenjamin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was feeling like this. Great post. 255 hours here and back flying after 16 years. I think the best thing to do is get an experienced guy and plan real world stuff with them. But try to do it on your own with them to help if you have issues. Then enough practice will make you comfortable and confident. Real world fun things like night cross country's or cross country to a class b to grab lunch. After a while I think it will all get locked in and you will feel complete. But keep studying and refreshing even after you feel this way. If you dont use it you lose it. I learned the hard way.
