I saw a carrier show years ago where a guy said something like "they tried to computerize this once but it was too slow/awkward." I wonder what they've changed this time around if they're trying another crack at it.
I always wanted one of the F-14 pieces, or any other a/c I guess, but haven't ever seen them around anywhere to buy. Would make for another conversation piece my friends/wife would roll their eyes about when I got explaining it.

Fuckin' A, semi-older Bruddah ....Well, that a good idea, because computers don't fail.... do they???....
When you're outta' "Ouija Boards", you're outta' ideas ...
I have a feeling that some fairly intelligent men and women thought about a redundancy/ backup plan for a computerized system. Considering the fact that almost all of our aircraft (hell, the entire battlefield for that matter) are reliant on computers, I'd say that replacing the ouija boards is a safe bet.
You have a "feeling" ... ???
Bullshit.
Ever spent any time in flight deck control ... ??? If you had, you wouldn't have said this ...
Hence, my question "Wonder what will be used as a backup?" :icon_tong

Come on! Computers on the ship work flawlessly!
We only buy the best high tech equipment, train our operators to world class standards, and invest in long term maintenance and support for our systems.
Where have you been?
This will be the best idea since NMCI!!

Yes, Yes, I know...
Do you remember when the whole East Coast phone systems were shut down? That was a result of a 2 line code change in some switch software. The QA folks didn't think it was significant enough to do regression testing on. I spent my post Naval career time making some good scratch finding and fixing those kind of problems.
(And I do appreciate the tongue-in-cheekiness of your post)
I sense a tad-bit of sarcasm :icon_tong
And yes, NCMI is possibly the worst thing to happen to our network. I am not a huge fan of the "compuerization" of our military, but the change is going to continue as long as there is a geek in DC writing code that will get him a fit-rep bullet and maybe even a Navy Commendation Medal for his efforts. Shit, now I have to digitally sign for a jet, fly for an hour or so, and then spend an equal amount of time doing post-flight computer BS for every different department. I miss NALCOMIS

Reference my previous post.... Fitrep bullets and general douche-baggedness.

Where did your NALCOMIS go? We have still have NALCOMIS/OOMA. Of course, then you have to go do the SHARP entry, etc...
NALCOMIS has been replaced my MSHARP and OOMA. Funny thing is, as I was signing for a jet the other day, I overheard the lance corporal underground talking about changes that are already coming down the pipe for our new systems. I really don't mind MSHARP, mainly since I will have an online version of my logbook available. OOMA, however, is a huge pain in the ass.
