  1. well said
  2. why dont you just hire someone who is computer literate to set it all up for you and then you can have your get-up-and-go experience
  3. by the sound of it the fa-18 radar has more dependencies than the f-16s, from a development standpoint then it would represent the most efficient route to go "backwards" in other words, the fa-18 tws never got put off, it just happens that the f-16 tws is able to be dropped in along the way. not something worth getting jealous over
  4. its unintuitive and has become perennial issue that the uninitiated stumble over furthermore despite being more compact it manages to be less of a convenience since its easier to copy+paste the entire url than the video code itself
  5. the higher up you go the more sparse the air molecules are the faster you have to go (true airspeed) to collect the same number of air molecules per second (indicated airspeed) as down lower now even though you're catching fewer air molecules, because your airplane is impacting them so fast the air molecule still can only get out of your way so quickly (mach) so 200kt up high has your aircraft behaving differently than 200kt down low the interaction between ias and mach meets at the phenomenon known as the coffin corner where the quantity of air molecules are so few that your wings can't keep you afloat, yet the few that you encounter are impacting too fast for your aircraft to deal with, too. this is a major concern for "slow flying" sailplane-like designs like the u-2 near the top of their service ceiling so for matters of divining your aircraft's aerodynamic capabilities at a given altitude, ias and mach are both relevant, they just describe two different factors that your airfoil cares about -- the quantity of air, and the quality of the air.
  6. why do customers always think they run the business lmao you want things done your way go do it yourself
  7. it's one thing to look forward to your takeout food but it's another to constantly require your gf to post an update that she's coming back with the food every 2 minutes we know the fa-18 updates are coming. they have to come because it is literally The Product. if youre a person that needs constant reassurance, that is a personal problem, not ed's problem.
  8. what speed are you testing at though flight behavior changes with the regime so you must establish your parameters otherwise you have no basis to even start making assertions
  9. no its just an unhealthy addiction to a vicarious sense of accomplishment
  10. whats so difficult about noticing whether stuff is getting bigger or smaller
  11. more fuel for peak dunning krueger
  12. god how do you guys always manage to have so many problems with everything
  13. its actually easier than probe and drogue, the 'box' you need to be in is larger
  14. you dont
  15. too bad we cant ask gospadin anymore
  16. no because understandings can only be internalized through experiences there's a pretty big gap between knowing and understanding

    if you understand how to recognize and respond to pio you can look at whatever you want and be fine i personally think being able to counter pio is fundamental to proficiency in handling aircraft
  18. yeah but can't you see how hurt feelings is something that is literally a matter of abuse today? because people know they can just flop on the ground and rack up a tantrum about how they're feeling hurt and bad they can hold everyone else hostage and have their demands met now you get a contest to see who can cry louder, and misleading and sensationalist titles is a manifestation of this attention-seeking competition. in the end appeasement only begets more appeasement i guess the lesson will never get learned because doing the right thing is always hard and painful
  19. it was better back when the unqualified could be directly told so but now we have to play the whole fake be-nice game and go about in in the most roundabout ways for the same end result its all so tiresome

    because the truth is its just all about putting the time in to become more proficient in handling your aircraft everything else is all bs
  21. this is the fallacy all of you keep doubling down on there will always be something more that can be done -- this is an utterly sisyphean charade you all are performing here and you will hate me for calling it out
  22. they always dress up the reasoning with serious concepts like authenticity when in reality all they really care about is whether or not they're getting owned
  23. what you should be more worried about is your own gullibility
  24. how many hours of your life are you dedicating to spreading utter nonsense around the internet you need to get a job dude
  25. competitiveness is an attitude ill never forget watching wumas take on 3 flankers in a f-5, they threw everything at him including r-73s but he jammed every shot through superior positioning
