Bossy - How is ground school like?

Basically, they just go over requirements for ATP/private license. They also have a unit going over instruments like elevation pitch, etc. It is a good class. Something good before you go full out in flying.

I'm back! Yep, I admit it: I only made it 9 days without electricity. Then I "upgraded" to electricity but no forums, but now I am back. I realized that I should not refrain from the community I love 😉

Did I miss anything big in the tech world? Tech moves fast.

980 ti + AMD Fury now can work together apparently with DX 12's new API...

That's old news 😛 I knew that 3 months ago.

Bossy - I can buy right now, FSX, PMDG and a bunch of software to make the weather and terrain VERY REAL, and a whole entire yoke and rudder system, I was going to get it, but I didnt..heres a tip: Spend your money on REAL flying....maybe after you get your Private, you can have a simulator and also fly irl but now, just focus on reality. Flying 777's and 737's PMDGS, even though VERY FUN and real, wont help you in private training in a cessna or whatever prop engine you may fly...just a piece of advice.

BUT, if you are set on it...I heard PMDG 777 can work with the steam FSX..I do have steam FSX. Idk look up PMDG on steam FSX. Have I mentioned this to you guys? March 5th Im flying (InshAllah)

If you want to get into aviation, go work for a fixed base operator (FBO) - that's where the real money is in aviation, check out this facility that my company has been designing at Van Nuys Airport: https://www.claylacy.com/van-nuys-development

Gunit - I Want to fly airplanes FBO would be a side thing though ...i think

Well you could fly Gulfstreams for big money clients! :lol:

The Cryorig A Series is awfully interesting. Anyone see this? http://www.cryorig.com/a-series_us.php

I've seen that before on a completely different AIO... What brand, I cannot remember

I most likely will start off like this. My Teacher has a friend who works for the FAA, also the person I get my advice from, but his side job is flying gulfs for high toyota officials.

Yeah one of the mods just got one but I can't remember who, but they're not installing it until the rest of the components arrive. :lol:

Cryorig knows how to make a good-looking website. That video with the thermal sensor over the motherboard sure is good marketing for that cooler.

This guy here had to RMA his Asus PG279Q monitor 4 times before he got one without panel problems (and it still has a dead pixel). That's crazy.

Not liking WaterFox very much. The history system is really, really weird. At times, it doesn't even record history. Finding (ctrl + F) is a bit weird as well. I'll use it for email, but moving back to chrome as my main driver.

I'd advise on Using Chromium and getting the right plug-ins installed.

 

[Onus]

Chrome is disallowed at work due to its data collection and tracking. That's enough to permanently keep it off my home systems.

 

[Bossyfins]

The problem with water fox for me, is:

- Twitch doesn't work
- Speedtest.net or the beta doesn't work
- History of websites doesn't seem to exist
- Slow to start up

I tried chromium, it feels weird.

I'm back to regular firefox from Waterfox personally. I also cannot use chrome at work, and therefore do not use it at home.

I don't do Chrome either. Firefox would be perfect if there were a way to block those horrible search engine ads and ad tracking.

Like I said, Chromium is Chome w/o the tracking crap.

 

[tiny voices]

We are still not allowed that at work.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I don't care if they track me personally.

 

[Onus]

Work does

When does Oculur Rift come out? I am considering getting one. VR sounds like... so much fun.
