    Flight sim as training

    Minimum requirements are not an ideal goal. It will “run” but poorly. But there is good news. You have a lot of options. If you are willing to wait until after the midpoint of January, nvida is releasing the next generation mobile video processors. Which will drop the price of current...

    My introduction

    I should warn you folks. I was a switchgear engineer in a past life. But I desperately want to turn wrenches on your planes. School is fun. But it makes me want to hurt people. I'm teaching electrical therory. As the instructor is more worried if someone does better on angry birds

    What was the most unpleasant part of training for you?

    As a switchgear engineer, can I help make it easier? It's just math.

    I apologize if the search keeps failing me. I have a question and it's burning me up. I just went and had my eye exam. I've been fearing it, as the outcome is do I go lsa or ppl. I found out today my right eye is perfect, however, my left eye is 20/50. But I have 20/20 uncorrected. I...
