Wait But Why is a website that I love. Check it out if you've never heard of it: http://waitbutwhy.com/ The latest article is on Elon Musk, link here: http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/05/elon-musk-the-worlds-raddest-man.html I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! If you are wondering what else to read on that website, I highly recommend the two part article on AI. Link: http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html

Thanks for all of the replies. I forgot about the past "summer sales".

Looking great!! I like the multi-role pits. My only problem with mine so far is remembering how I setup my profiles for each aircraft! I need to get a little more organized... Thanks for sharing, keep us updated.

I just get moved into a new place and I'm ready to get back to simming more often. I only have Blackshark 2, P-51D, and A-10C. I really want to try some of these new modules but if I wait for a sale I could buy a few extra! Can someone refresh my memory from years past? Maybe a Memorial day sale coming up?

Had fun today! My calling was "Drew" and I was mostly flying an A-10C. Had quite a few join up in formation for several minutes. Anyone have screenshots to post?

I plan on upgrading to 4k soon. Should I buy a curved 4k TV? It will only be used for my simpit.

Awesome setup. What kind of performance are you getting from your rig? I plan on upgrading to 4k this fall. Hopefully 2.0 will be out be then too.

Okay guys I am about ready to get me a 4k TV for my simpit... looking at this: Samsung - 50" Class (49-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black Model: UN50HU6950FXZA SKU: 7500006 at Bestbuy.

I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 that is 2.5 years old. Full PC specs: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) G.SKILL Ripjaws 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 1x: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 120GB Kingston HyperX SSD Corsair 650W Power Supply Corsair 500R Mid Case Will I need a different HDMI cable or a new video card? If I need a new video card, what do you all recommend? Hopefully I can just upgrade my video card and not everything else!!

+1 I remember all of the good times with the AC-130 in Jane's ATF!

I haven't looked at this thread in several months... I just spent some time going through several pages and I must say AWESOME WORK everyone and THANKS for sharing!! Amazing!

Bump. I'm going to be there Thursday-Sunday. Should be a great time and will get to see Hinds flying!!

That MIG-23 background is great! :thumbup:

Anyone know what the contraption is that is sticking out horizontally form the side of the ship? Looks like some type of radar or antenna. I don't remember seeing that before.

Looks great!!

AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!

My wife and I are proud to announce the birth of our son: This is our first child and we are absolutely ecstatic. Little Zane weighs 6 lbs 12 ozs and is 20.5" long. He arrived 4 weeks ahead of his due date but is perfectly healthy with no issues. Quite the suprise!! The doctor let me help deliver him and I was the first to see the sex of the baby and got to announce it. Yes we waited to find out the sex, which is a little unusual now but I was set on letting it be a total suprise. :) Next pics will probably be aviation related! :)

Same here. Thought and prayers to those in Moore. I live in Shawnee which is about 40 miles east of there... My brother's house was badly damaged yesterday, but his family is safe.

I thought the 30 degrees is the angle relative to the ground... not the pitch of the helicopter.

I totally agree. It is not my friend backing this argument. He is merely spreading this horribly wrong rumor just because the person he heard it from is a Reservist. My initial response was for my friend to tell the Reservist that he is "full of sh!%". I explained to him that the F-15C and E are not carrier capable, blah blah, blah blah. Just because he is a Reservist, it doesn't mean that he knows anything.... I will find out what his credentials are just for the fun of it.

I just found proof that the F-15 is actually carrier capable. I can't believe you all didn't know this! Fast-forward to 1:16... iEvuHEzp6Gs http://youtu.be/iEvuHEzp6Gs?t=1m16s

For the record... I think this is merely a rumor. It makes no sense to me... I'll try to have the person give more detail and/or supporting evidence for this case.

My friend works at Tinker AFB. Yesterday he was told by an USAF Reservist (who himself is a private pilot) that the Air Force keeps approximately 200 Carrier Qualified F-15 pilots for extreme emergency purposes. I am curious as to the accuracy of this statement. Can anyone elaborate? I realize the '15 has a tail-hook, but I thought it was only for runway overrun incidents. Is it possible that they could put a '15 down on a carrier as a last-ditch emergency?

Can you explain how you are trimming the chopper in-game? I'm a little confused with this... If you hit the trimmer in-game it expects the joystick to return to center, but yours won't since the joystick itself trims to center EDIT: I re-read your post and seen where you changed game settings to force trim. Nice work!

Thank you!
