FSX: $60 and fun for a few months. XP11: $900 and fun for a couple years. Spent a lot on yoke, pedals and addons. Spent a lot of time modding the software and hardware. Got bored of it, sold the modded yoke/pedals. Bonus - It helped me learn Foreflight. FS2020: $1 for one month. Perfect...

I'm on IT, software, programming, engineering, and a bunch of other forums. It's rare to have someone put their life work out there, along with their name, company name, etc. I'm sure you know how search engines work. When people lookup Raptor Aircraft, this forum and Reddit are within the...

This thread makes PoA look like a mob of angry people with pitchforks. I work in the service industry. It never ceases to amaze me how many people can't understand a simple concept. We know what we know, because we use a process to find out. That process evolves over time, and in the long run...

Normally I'd say this is a fake story, but it would seem as though our society is going downhill real fast.

Seeing a wing under a couple feet of water is... freaky. I would guess their insurance is already high enough to make up for this.

Yes.

The scammers are everywhere, CL is no exception. Fun CL story... Every couple years I do a bulk CL listing. Usually 10-20 items of stuff that I don't need that are worth something. I put blowout prices (bought item for $100 and sell for $10) and people still haggle. Last summer I was in the...

Whoops, never signed the back of mine. Is that bad?

https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/airplane_handbook/media/10_afh_ch8.pdf There are two usual methods of accomplishing a crosswind approach and landing—the crab method and the wing-low (sideslip) method. Although the crab method may be easier for the pilot to...

You go fly with him lol.

It sounds like on some of your landings you think you're higher than you are. Not looking down the runway?

I find this highly offensive. In 1250 BC stew pilots were boiled alive and consumed by the Ciriqus tribe.

Yep, the departing traffic would instantly collide with the jet 3.9 seconds after the all clear. As real pilots, we need at least 0.00001us accuracy in position reports. Unreal. Glad everyone is okay.

Hey, I'm redirecting the airflow around my face for you, not for me!

Look down the runway in the flare, and treat every landing like a soft field landing were the two pieces of advice that helped me. As mentioned there is no number. But, you can memorize your pitch attitude when you take off, and look for the same attitude in the flare. Do some touch-n-goes...

Yep. My last video recorded flight was 1.7 on the Hobbs. I reduced that flight down to 4 minutes of video. Without fail someone in the comments mentioned I didn't use a checklist once the entire flight. What the heck is going through someones mind when they type something like that is well above...

Yeah I was going to post this thread when I saw it but it seems the only result will be a dumpster fire. It's unfortunate the kid was doxxed, this thing was already off the rails. I stopped making youtube videos because I would make a flying video, get a bunch of subs, and then post an...

P1D was also reported to FAA -

Flight simmer steals airplane?

You gotta try it and see. I didn't like it, especially the wind indentation that forms over the engine cowling when flying it. I also don't like manual flaps. There was a story about doors flying off in flight. After 10 hours I went back to the 152 mainly because the useful load wasn't enough...
