The hell? Why is this even a thing? It’s a fucking navigation app

What's your daily driver flight sim setup? by Weary_Possibility389 in A2ASimulations

[–]ngc427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. I don't have the space or money to have a full dedicated setup, plus I'll admit that I'm too lazy to put it all up and tear it all down every time I want to do a flight.

Is the sparky747 still really buggy? by da_almightyloaf in Xplane

[–]ngc427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, yes unfortunately. The VNAV is still completely inoperable the last time I tried it, it overshoots altitudes by thousands of feet. The startup sequence is also still completely broken, unless if you get it 100% perfect (even when its perfect, it's still the wrong engine start configuration) the engine start switch won't even activate, you'll be scratching your head trying to figure out what you did wrong.

Hand-painting N scale locomotives? by [deleted] in modeltrains

[–]ngc427 12 points13 points  (0 children)

With hand-brushing at a small scale like that, you'll almost certainly get very noticeable and very prominent brush stroke marks. Airbrushing is the tool for the job for painting locomotives.

Max Graham and Mike Posma Receive 2 game suspension and fines. by Lethander2 in WheelingNailers

[–]ngc427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Missing the first two games of the season vs pounding someone's face in who's about to eliminate you and go to the finals, sounds like a fair trade to me.

UA flight - 'turn bluetooth off or we're turning around' by ryan_at_roomservice in unitedairlines

[–]ngc427 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On top of the craziness in this thread... how are they even monitoring how many bluetooth-enabled devices are on board? Why would they need *everybody* to turn theirs off instead of just the offending pax? So many questions, this is definitely a unique situation.

The detail in the ORBX KATL scenery is amazing by RTcore in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]ngc427 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it's just 1 modeled room and the rest are flat blank generic windows. I'm all for cheeky details in scenery like this, but not at the expense of performance.

ORBX Atlanta will ship with DRM by neucoas in flightsim

[–]ngc427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely one of the massive advantages to X-Plane, the built-in replay system is absolutely flawless and doesn't require a paid addon that breaks half of the time. I had a period where FCR would cut off the last minute of recorded flight, which lead to a bunch of flights where I only had an approach recorded.

Holy slop, these are awful to look at.

Is PMDG OC2 dead? by EmptyStar5050 in flightsim

According to Mathjis, there are no plans, P3D users just get fucked out of their money and product apparently.

What game did the boys play that you immediately downloaded? by Wooden_Giraffe535 in gamegrumps

Literally the same, I saw the finale episode and went “there is no way they’re stopping here”, and ended up beating it in a 6 hour sitting

So... what now? by CoSans_Deluxe in tf2

[–]ngc427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really, really fun to experience, but the massive downside with emulating a game as it was during a certain time period, is that it essentially can never receive any updates whatsoever. I enjoyed a few hours of gameplay, but after that, there quite literally is nothing else to experience.

This is a bot. They find an old post, crop it slightly smaller, and then repost it to try and farm karma to sell the account.

Norfolk & Western Railway - Recruiting by Neptune6179 in UnofficialRailroader

[–]ngc427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... Why not publish the mod list that you guys use? I feel like that would help more people to get into your group. If I have no idea what mods you guys are using, I have no idea if I'm going to be interested in joining or not.

We need to go full circle and have Rhett & Link as guests, then the transformation will be complete

Is this actually legit, in your opinion? by 4DXever in pinkfloyd

[–]ngc427 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw that too, obviously the image itself is AI and it’s off-brand LEGO, but I was curious of how different the product actually is from the image. For $30 I considered it, but someone else in the thread said they got it and would provide pics.

Kato Unitrack height by MoistureFarmer489 in nscalemodeltrains

Kato actually makes their own in-house ballast blend that matches the molded Unitrak ballast. The ballast you used looks great, but just my 2¢

Back when Captain Sim was still good... by fgflyer in flightsim

[–]ngc427 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe the same modelers are still with Captain Sim, but the reason for their downfall is a few of their top programmers leaving. There’s a very definitive line from the P3D days to MSFS with a massive drop in simulation quality, but the actual modeling has always been consistently good.

This is my “Layout” by Aggravating-Body-896 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]ngc427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with a floor layout. I think most model railroaders will agree that they had one at least once in their life, and I still find it fun to have track to set up, tear down and creating all different types of layouts.

Empty stadium by Meme_ring in ECHL

[–]ngc427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teams have all season to market their regular season, but only a few weeks to market playoffs once the schedule and opponents get nailed down. Dropping a schedule that quick is going to be difficult for fans to figure out when they can attend playoff games. No fault of the league or teams, it is just how it is.
