Because if they did zip-lip, no one could make believe they were an LSO . . .If they're CQing, why do they have weapons loaded? If they aren't CQing, why are they making ball calls during a case I recovery. In either scenario, why is paddles telling them to call the ball?
So long story short you got X-plane and you're going to make a YouTube video of how "it's really done?" Maybe with some NATOPS trivia of what bus powers what, the XX functions of the EDECU/DECU, and how many pieces of wood are in the helo?Over the last few days, I've been toying with the idea of grabbing X-Plane to do some instrument proficiency while I hang out in limbo. Really, having a 430 or 750 simulator that I can shoot approaches with is what I need. In doing some research, it's led me to YT videos of people showing THE DEFINITIVE WAY to start helicopter x up(!!!!).
It's amazing the amount of energy put into arguing things like whether you should turn on the collision lights BEFORE (!!!!) turning on the battery. It quickly becomes clear that these same people don't really understand what they're explaining to the world when they say things like, "You would never want to start a helicopter with the rotor brake on," or can't properly pronounce the word "pitot."
Don't forget the 13 places where you service it with nitrogen or whatever the number is, the names of the various electric relays that some schmuck cut-and-pasted from the tech manual into the original draft NATOPS about thirty years ago, what kind of plastic the center windshield is made out of...So long story short you got X-plane and you're going to make a YouTube video of how "it's really done?"

I deeply apogize for derailing a thread about a jet simulator. ?Another jet thread derailed by fucking helicopter minutiae that no one cares about. Hey, when are you guys getting that CAG?
I would like to point out—using my elbows to point—that this is pretty funny.I deeply apogize for derailing a thread about a jet simulator. ?
Does the simulator include making an 80 slide PPT brief and a two hour debrief; if not I'm not wasting my money on something so inaccurate.
