Man that's cool. I am a min-gear aficionado myself but can appreciate an interesting cockpit build any day! In another life, were I to have infinite money, a Full room scale FRASCA would be on up there on my priority list for sure

For the republic!!

Don't wonder if this counts as AATD time for instrument currency . . .

Oh totally, that has to be a super important aspect. I can't imagine having to run a team that finds topics and pumps out videos to an audience on that scale that frequently. Stuff is bound to fall through the cracks, surely. I think a lot of the Military Vehicle Enthusiast community falls for Woozle effect, too. Somebody says a thing, writes an article or a video on it, then that article/video gets cited as a source and nobody can actually substantiate or prove the claim until it's just seen as a truism or common-knowledge fact. It's how you end up with the "Four Sherman's to kill a Tiger" myth and "The T-34 was the first tank with sloped armor!" and the "AK can keep running full auto while CAKED in mud!" and things of that nature. I feel like everybody's fallen for that at some point, including people on the research teams for these big channels.

I'd actually be curious what the process for making one of his production are. He's been around long enough that surely he has an assistant or team of employees helping work on his stuff by now. He might not even be responsible for the scrips, I know that can happen to some channels as they get larger. Knowledge hub, Alt history hub, the various off shoots of Simon Whestler's Biographics show, Game Grumps, Russian Badger, etc are all managed by entire teams, and the figureheads for them pretty much just own the channel, outsource the editing and come in to to the voice over once they have enough money to keep a staff on payroll. Regardless, eyeballs on content isn't directly corelated to quality of information; it's good to look at some of this YouTube history stuff to help get introduced to a topic but always super enjoyable to actually dive the topic through primary sources if access can be had to them. Some of the older design documentation is declassified now.

Cool that so many MiG designs are still in service. I'm glad Felton's videos popularize military history in bite sized chunks; I, too, am not fond of his propensity for spreading rumors/perpetuating wartime myths about espionage, combat effectiveness of certain vehicles, etc.

So once everybody's all setup, maybe we can coordinate some similar types/routings of aircraft and do "virtual fly-ins" to specific locations, maybe? Doing some loose non official low maintenance flying events in a civ sim seems like an awesome way to have a chat night when we're not working on combat related stuff!

Well hey, that works. Thanks. Was really struggling to find one for the longest time.

Anyway I can make the GNS530 app with the 160 HP Piper warrior? I fly a 180 HP G500 Archer for flight school and I can't find a civ sim that has it (Everybody skips from 160 Warrior -> 200HP Arrow or 180 arrow complex 6 pack)

Wonderful, I had my prescription updated for my contacts a month or two ago, so I Figure getting a pair of these will last me longer and cost less than a 6-month supply box of 1-week wear contacts, which are getting into the high 100 low 200 dollar mark now. I'll go ahead and order some and try it.

I've been wearing contacts under my VR for awhile; Snag, have you used these Prescription lenses and are they decently functional? Might be good to snag a pair for longer sessions so my eyes don't dry out.

Still haven't figured out root cause. Just magically started up again after a week of starting but not booting. Had everything disconnected the whole time I was trouble shooting. Now it works and I have a couple of fresh parts out of it, so no problem I guess ? Successful start with 0 issues this morning too.

So I woke up this morning and tried resetting the CMOS battery/bios again and this time it would actually flash to bios for me. Notably, unplugging my USB hub may have also helper somhow? That is the only other change I made today Ill have to see what I can do from here. New bios update flash and default settings May help. Update 1: Bios flash seemed to at least get me to the point the computer will now actually boot in fully. Now to see if I can get to recognize a GPU is the next step. But worst case scenario I at least have a functioning PC again thanks for all the help everybody!!!
