  1. Nice Screens! I noticed my Log Book wasn't tracking my MP time as well. That is a huge bummer as it seems I will not progress beyond 5 or so hours because i rarely fly single player anymore, much like Mower I pretty much fly online now.
  2. The outflow Valves can sometimes not be seen via a visual walkaround. I am a prior C141B Flight engineer and on that plane our outflow Valves were controlled by a Pneumatic relay via our control or touchdown switches. Their position was never checked visually as a preflight duty. Both because of location and type. However we could tell pretty quick on climbout that Cabin press. was with the aircrafts altitude by looking at our diff pressure gauge or by how it felt. Especially through 8,000 feet and up.
  3. Honestly, it is pretty cool that its modeled in this sim. We had to go to training about every two years regarding this very issue. We would go to the altitude chamber and be exposed to high altitudes. The idea was we could learn to identify our Hypoxia symptoms. Believe me you can tell. The problem is those symptoms can change ever so often and that is why we had to keep going back for more chamber rides. The most dangerous symptom was euphoria. If you had that particular symptom.....you tend to just enjoy the whole experience and are much more likely to not do anything about it. It was always fun to see other crewdogs gimp out with Hypoxia. Those where the good ole days....been out of the service for about 10 years now but I remember that training well.
  4. Or the 7/& key.
  5. Do it! You won't regret it. No way will you be dissapointed.
