So I think I need to reinstall fs2crew. Only option I have after takeoff is heading select, I've never messed with any of the settings and it was working normally a few days ago.
>>1494080God and I forgot to set the gear in the off position, fucking embarrassing. I can't even delete the post now.
>there actually is a way to play A-Train 9 5.0 in English>its the PS4 version
>>1494139Good Lord what? A-Train on a controller? I cannot imagine that.I really wanted to like A-Train 9 but I refunded it because the controls and just overall user experience pissed me off to no end. And I'm usually very patient when it comes to stuff like thatunrelated, OMSI is still very comfy
>>1494941>A-Train on a controller? I cannot imagine that.Its really weird. It works better than I thought, but compared to a mouse it's still annoyingly fiddly. Worse, even on a Pro it cant really handle speeding up more than around 32x without completely shitting the bed. With lots going on even less.>I really wanted to like A-Train 9 but I refunded it because the controls and just overall user experience pissed me off to no end.Yeah, I came from PC-Classic and it still took me until the third time I pirated it and lots of desperate manual reading to get my head around it. It has grown a lot on me since, but I really hope 10 (implying thatll ever happen) will take over lots of elements from PC-Classic more than 9.
Anyone else watching "The Architecture the Railways Built"? It's not too shabby, but it has given me a craving for more shows/documentaries on railroads. What's /n/ recommend?
>>1484474Full Steam Ahead is basically the ultimate documentary series on the early history of British railways.The Train Now Departing is also a good one. It's pretty much a time capsule on the state of preservation in the 80s.
>>1490971Was going to suggest the train now departing but you bear me to it.Railway roundabout is pretty good, as are chris eden greens videos. I can't remember now to spell his name, but it's something like ruraidh mcveigh. He has some pretty in depth videos about trains and stuff.
EPISODE 4 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A8NFOEOvh5k3_Lde9HtpRf4RQD_HXwW0/view
Watched the first episode of this, the guy's a bit awkward at times but talks about some interesting things. Will probably finish the rest when I've got time, thanks for posting the links
>>1493312Best one so far I think. Can't believe I've not heard about the Settle to Carlisle line before, I've done that stretch of the WCML so many times. It seems a really odd place considering how close it is, but I suppose back then they were all competing, and B**ching couldn't close it because of its architectural significance. I'll have to do that next time I go to the midlands, probably take the long way around to Manchester or something.
Do you love your bicycle?
>>1494486
>>1493964One of them.
>>1494486Based.
>>1494486>with modern science no one even needs [women] anymoreMy dick and disagrees.
>>1493964Yes.
>be poor student>seek advice on forums on which road bike to get>everyone responds with over $5000 bikeswhy are cyclists such insufferable gate keeping cunts
>>1494625All my steelseries mice have been amazing, my rival is probably in the same state as yours, but steelseries engine is a critically broken security flaw (prevents core isolation memory integrity from running)
>>1485076OP, i will sell you this bad boy for the small sum of 125.00
>>1494625true, i just have the legacy driver for my 3.5g deathadder so it never bothered me. deathadder v2 has onboard memory so i'm pretty sure you don't need to run synapse except to configure your profiles.

Is Courier Crisis for the PSX the best /n/-related video game?https://youtu.be/-13cUmfVW3M?t=265
>>1495065Zwift>Knowing when to shift gears, knowing what cadence to ride in so your muscles don't get too tired, knowing when to walk your bike, there could be a lot of stuff going on.Not as interesting as you imagine, when you're not actually feeling it in your own muscles. In a game that would either take entirely too much guess work, or it would just be what amounts balancing a bunch of status bars.If you think you can make the latter fun, it shouldn't bee too much work to hack together a proof of concept prototype.
>>1495065Also, there's more than one mountain bike game on Steam.
>>1495070Mechwarrior famously uses heat generation as a limiting factor for your offensive capabilities. Weapons generate heat, you can only dissipate so much heat so fast, so you can't generally fire every single weapon at an enemy repeatedly, you need to stagger your shots so you don't overheat your battlemech and force a core shutdown.Similarly, there could be a watt meter in the bicycle simulator video game and an endurance meter modelling lactic acid production/removal and you could be tasked with keeping these meters in check while simultaneously going as fast as possible.Couple that with taking the correct line on corners, avoiding obstacles, bike messenger fetch quests, I dunno. It could be fun.
>>1495074GTA V did a simplistic version of this.I remember playing X-Wing and Tie Fighter as a boy. There you had to balance your power consumption between weapons, shields and engines.
>>1495064Wrong, that would be Cannondale Cup on the SNES
Anyone here ever tried an electric motorcycle?
>>1494946If it can't do the 2 advanced uses of a motorcycle. Then it's useless. It has to be able to tour or track well.
>>1494962Track bikes are for cosplaying faggots and your bikes are trash for day to day use. Just fucking rent one for either of those purposes.
>>1494946Sweet. What’s the acceleration like?
>>1494695>half the point of owning a motorcycle is the VROOMVROOM partI would disagree. For me, the entire point of owning a motorcycle is so I can ride a motorcycle. The point of riding a motorcycle is going fast while stimulating the inner ear, and also being able to filter through traffic.The vroomvroom is just an annoyance. The quiter the better.
>>1494713They should make them sound like small turbines then. It should be woosh, not vroom.
is this the ideal city street?
>>1495035That can be done in areas where off street parking is available.
>>1495033But it is for the benefit of the people, simply by being there and being seen. And the trees being there and doing tree things.
>>1495042Which they can do on the side where their shade and the grass could actually be used.
>>1495053And the trees, along with light poles, serve as bollards. Protecting pedestrians.
>>1495053I'm not saying otherwise, though I'm not sure I entirely like the idea of splitting it up into single rows.I'm objecting to the dismissal of the current arrangent as pointless and a write off.
RIP>Was it Corona ?
>>1494816not necessarily bespoke, but rotor's hydraulic derailer is pretty...special.
>>14948163d printable won't be bespoke, it'd be garage-DIY 'gud enuff fer friction' and wear out within a few months. But I imagine you'd burn less than 5$ per derailleur, especially if the metal pieces can be reused from print to print.
>>1494823this is templeOS tier psychosis
>>1488804SENSAH is unironically decent and long lasting. If those chinks were able to design something without infringing on a thousand Shimano/SRAM patents they could become a serious competitor outside of China.
>>1494826Nah I'm just from /diy/.Lego set derailleur you can build in an hour and rebuild in half that time (not including print time) is an attractive option if it would cost more to replace or upgrade.
Show me your shittiest commie buses.
>>1494990>traffic light racing>badThe funniest busride I ever had was in Kazakhstan when visiting some relatives. There were four busses on the same line and they were racing each other to each stop, all trying to cut each other off and parking in front of everyone and shit.Halfway through the trip the driver of the bus I was on was just like "Fuck it my shift is done everyone get off and get in one of the other ones"Granted I wouldn't want this to be the everyday MO but still.
>>1494990400s were more aesthetic, but less reliable.
>>1494997Borat?
>>1494997>There were four busses on the same line and they were racing each other to each stop, all trying to cut each other off and parking in front of everyone and shit.Yep, same shit is happening Valparaiso. It is fun, unless you do it every day.
>>1494990Ikarus 435 looks normal. But the older types I find very strange tho
What ever happened to these banana farting faggots?
>>1494343Apparently he was savagely attacked in the streets a few months ago
>>1494343Durianrider got jailed for stalking or somethingI had a dream where freelee would swallow whole bananas and then poop them whole into my mouth
>>1494343Durian lurks on /n/ to so some of his famous trolling now and again.They say that if you type "nutrient deficient" 2 times in a post, he'll show up and insult you, but I'm to afraid to do it...

I want to live on the ocean. Besides buying a boat, what other things should I do and read to help me achieve this goal?
>>1493415Finally, redundancy is your best friend if it can fail it will, Take sometime to know your stars.
>>1488594>piggyback onfound the navy fag, own up
Not OP but also considering this except I'm 6'5" so does anything exist with headroom under 40'? Should I ASA? Should I listen to that rational part of me screaming DO NOT DO THIS?>have done some sailing ages ago>not especially handy but not so retarded that I can't learn, did work in a construction trade
>>149464236' Southcoast36' EndeavourCatkeep in mind when making way you won't be standing upright anyway. Maybe a hat or some padding, I'm a short 5'8" quite possibly the only time it's good to be short. yet man go for it. It's a lot of work but super rewarding
>>1494853I think Southcoasts are hard to get here (US) but I'll keep the Endeavour in mind
Why do bike companies make a big deal about needing "women's specific frame geometry" but then they slap the same crank lengths on every single bike?
>>1474673Generally, women have shorter arms/torsos. The top tube is the main difference between m/w frames. Not crank length.
>>1479264Once upon a time it was so that grills could wear dresses on their bike without it getting pulled up to their crotch by the bike frame
>>1474685Women don't want to ride a bike. They hate it. It's fucking retarded
>>1474673Crank lengths aren't permanent while geometry is

Alcoholic African American EditionWelcome to the /gag/~/gag/ is dedicated to all the pilots and pilot applicants out there, and although the name suggests otherwise, airline, military, and charter discussion is welcome. Keep it on topic, keep the shit throwing to a minimum, no nudes. No bikefags allowed :^)
>>1484958If you don’t want to risk lying on the medical, it is possible but it’s a pain in the ass.I took Adderall and had an ADHD diagnosis in high school. I got declined my first time I tried to get the medical. To get it, I had to get a letter from a doctor saying I wasn’t taking the medication anymore, wait several months, take a drug test proving I wasn’t on Adderall/Ritalin, and spend two days with a psychiatrist at my own expense running though a dozen mental tests. The time with the psychiatrist was thousands of dollars. I made it though, and I fly for the airlines now.
>>1494103There is literally zero risk in lying, just don’t test positive for drugs.
>>1494159THIS. I haven't had a scrip for adderall in 10 years, yet I still passed my medical because I wasn't outright asked if I had ADHD. Shit, I wasn't even indirectly asked. My AME just asked if I was on any prescription meds and I said no, because it was the truth. Anyone who has it should more or less be fine on their medical if they haven't had addy's in ~10 years.
>>1494228>I wasn't outright asked if I had ADHD. Shit, I wasn't even indirectly askedOh no you definitely lied. "Mental illness" is on the medxpress forum you fill out before the exam>>1494159While you are right I want to correct something. Its not "literally" zero risk. There is risk. its VERY small risk but its there. Even if you get in an accident unless it was in a 777 and 70 peopled died they don't look that deep into your past. You WILL get caught if you do something stupid. I dont have the link but a while ago some guy got busted for lying on his medical because he was also receiving disability from the VA. lol.
>>1494937Most issues like you've described are from VA disability. When you separate from the military, most guys in their last year of service "suddenly" get alot of health issues that the gov't has to pay them for, hearing loss, sleep apnea, arthritis , etc and there are benefits to claiming these things. Problem is for guys who fly, the VA and the FAA actually talk to each other, which is abnormal for the gov't, but they do. So if your VA disability is disqualifying for a medical, you're fucked. If your disability makes getting a medical more difficult, you're paying out the ass now to recieve/renew your medical. This is fairly common knowledge now for military flight crew who separate because of how widespread people have gotten fucked in the past, but yes it does happen.
No CFIs allowed. Come bitch about how we're all losing our jobs in October.
I work for UP. Right now you need 8 years of seniority to work in the yard or brakeman extraboard. Engineers that have been hogging for over 5 to 10 years and have 15 to 20 years in have been cut to conductor.

>>1485064wow shocking that there arent any commercial pilots on a website dedicated to anime
>>1485064Regionals will fare better than main line.Smaller airplanes just do better when demand and gas prices are both low.

ITT: favorite track work arrangement
>>1485514especially in the USA?
>>1480798This is what they took from you.
>>1481445>>1481427Are the trams' bogies the exact distance apart of the two curved segments of rail?If you put the forward bogie onto the straight track, then moved the switch and put the rear bogie onto the curving track, it would be possible for the tram to translate from the gauntlet to the separated track (and vice versa) without the carriage body rotating. It would be facing forward the whole way. That might be useful if the clearance was originally extremely narrow and the overhang on the ends of the tram would have hit a wall or something.
>>1485339Neat
>>1480839when were the tunnels here heightened to allow doublestacks?
