I am going to wait until my new machine gets here on Friday, and then download the trial version of X-Plane 11 and see where I am starting from. A coworker gave me two low-profile cards today, but I don't know how they will work in the new system. Neither of them are true gaming cards, but...

He's right. The 90 degree versus 180 degree sweep of Saitek/Logitech compared to the Honeycomb Alpha makes a huge difference. The "gain", or speed of input naturally has to be higher on the Saitek due to the shorter arc - so input is doubled. Makes fine control on a crosswind landing quite...

Interesting. I am replacing my aging (OK, aged) flight simulator setup. I don't have enough scratch to buy top of the line hardware and still pay for my flight instruction, so I'm willing to make compromises. Right now, I am running an older computer I built with hand-me-down parts. An older...

Zombie thread, I know. But I just wanted to be sure that the advice offered is still sound. I am going to update our (not really old) desktop computer. I ordered a 1TB PNY SSD to replace the 1TB spinning-platter HDD it shipped with. PNY has now gone cheap and no longer provides Acronis cloning...

I don't expect any issues from my PCP either. He was doing my company mandated annual Fire Brigade physicals for about 22 years. I decided it was easier to have him as my PCP too about 5 years into the job. He also does NRC licensed operator exams for my employer, so he's no stranger to...

I was able to readily open a dialog with my AME without having the cost or expense of a consult. We conversed though email and text until I had everything needed for my visit. The only thing missing was a 24-hour Holter monitor which my PCP ordered. After the (normal) results came back, I...

I really can't say how long it will take. Right now, it seems the OKC guys are months behind. Plus, I'm not sure if he can "pull back" any deferral and issue through CACI once it's been submitted. Best of luck to you. The CACI is pretty easy. Your Rheumatologist just needs to supply a...

I had been off of Otezla for almost a year by the time I went in for my Third-Class medical. It was prohibitively expensive. The Methotrexate works almost as well. Almost... The strange loophole seems to be that if you have been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis, but have no current...

In the late 70's some Chrysler V-8's had you set the timing with a propane-enriched higher idle. 345.pdf (mymopar.com)

What's aggravating is that if you are being treated for Psoriatic Arthritis, that is a CACI condition. And I do believe that Humira is one of the approved drugs for that. • Only ONE of the following - with required no-fly time after each use: o adalimumab (Humira): 24-hour no-fly o apremilast...

Since it's not employment or health insurance related, too bad GINA does not apply. But if they find a genetic propensity towards a specific medical condition, that doesn't equate to a diagnosis, does it?

I ended up in this curious loop. About six years ago I had documented cases of PSVT. I went to an electrophysiologist for Cardiac Catheter Radio Frequency Ablation. From that day on I never had another episode. But, the FAA needs an EKG six months after to prove that the treatment was...
