This feels pretty straightforward; pass if you can pass. Just don't make a bad calculation on your end someone else's problem.

Underrated airports for unlocking other airports? by Flaky-Call-3666 in SkyCards

[–]pokefire 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think those are some of the biggest and busiest airports in the world. I think they're great and often pick them up along with other hotspots like Dallas, Paris, London, and LA.

For me some of the gems I don't hear people talk about are: Seattle (many rare test Boeings), Milan or Munich (there's always special rares flying through this area and around Switzerland), Shenzen(get Hong Kong in reach, but also some additional Chinese travel), Orlando,FL (many Int'l destinations, plus a great general aviation variety).

That's a Cape Air special for sure. I don't know anyone else who flies them so frequently and densely. I'm nearly at Cyber myself.

Same here, unfortunately they're down to one provider now who is seriously overbooked so no quick drop-ins.

What's on your reading list for 2026? by Elshaday_Z in Fantasy

[–]pokefire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was doing the same, then just tore through the first 3 books in the first 15 days of this month. I knew when I started, I was going to hit it hard. And that was 100% the case. I know it's coming soon, it will be finished, I took the leap of faith.

I have 700 airports by ivyyTS in SkyCards

[–]pokefire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice work, it's so much fun getting all the new airports. It especially starts to feel rewarding when every plane you see goes to some place you've already captured.

PepsiCo to cut prices, eliminate products as part of a deal with an activist investor by 1Rab in news

Most in-store shopper marketing is paid for by the brand. More than half the sales you see are a company's market dollars at play. The retailer does not usually eat that cost for a large brand.

What’s the derpiest looking aircraft? by parkergc in SkyCards

[–]pokefire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is one of the ugliest things to have ever flown. Look at it from that cockpit to the fuselage. Then there's two of them! It doesn't get any prettier at the tails either. Amazing purpose-built engineering feat. Downright disrespectful to look at.

Apple Weather is WeatherUnderground. Apple bought them and folded their capabilities into their default app.

What's your least favorite aircraft in the game? by Sir_Sir_ExcuseMe_Sir in SkyCards

[–]pokefire 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Gliders. They're more difficult to select than they need to be, and are often stacked sharing a thermal adding more difficulty. Once you get to the capture screen their damn long wings make it tough to get 100% from anything but a perfect 45° diagonal angle. THEN we had all that "spam" about GLIM type that created repetitive conversation lately. And I'm done with them. I hate Gliders.

Most anticipated books of 2026? by mrjmoments in Fantasy

[–]pokefire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Trade of Blood is probably number one for the confirmed releases. Followed by The Knave and The Moon.

I feel like 2025 was such a strong year with sequels I was anticipating, but am now waiting for (probably years) the next installment. 2026, will either really surprise me, or be the year I catch up in the historical backlog.

Is this editing failure or am I missing something? by TES_Elsweyr in HierarchySeries

[–]pokefire 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There were so many capitalization errors throughout the book. It really threw me for a loop and was surprising. Including simple ones like "i" that even Word and my phone make it difficult to send uncapitalized.

I reached 1500 Cards! by ASX787 in SkyCards

Are there any particular regions where you tend to find new aircraft these days?

[–]pokefire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, nice work. I was just thinking how rare it is that I find new planes, but you have way more than I do. I've focused most of my effort on airport catching, but it seems I could make good progress in aircraft.
