We are constantly working to make your experience with Viperpits.org the best it can be!!
Indeed, very interesting ending Also very instructional, I guess. When the lady says "pull up" you better listen / obey Keep them coming @Marvin even though they make me feel very humble (no flying skillz whatsoever here)
What other screens are you adding?
Oh no not the CPD! Don’t change that for gauges!!!!

With all the problems, i can at least hope the raft inflated?
I think that a big problem you have is that in all the flights you do not hear the GSI and that is the reason you get lost in the flight.You hear them talking from UHF but you do not understand what they are talking about.I noticed that in the VHF your formation spoke mainly Greek so you could not follow the flow of the flight.INIOCHOS as an exercise has a workload and a requirement for proper preparation and reading of the ibriefing. But there is no reason to think that you can not do it
In our country all pilots are fully trained in English. They all speak it very well (although some of them do have a terrible accent) since they had all their training in the US. But in exercises, when for example American units are the opposite side, they will communicate in Dutch to not give away any information.

I would also image they would communicate in the native language on intra-flight just for quicker and more effective communication.
I know that when I got my Private Pilot's license I was taught that the FAA standard for ALL air operations was the English language. I know this isn't strictly adhered to in ALL locations (try flying into Quebec and not speaking French, forex...) but supposedly it's the FAA "standard" by Regulation.https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1031388
If you guys haven't checked out the new JTAC features with 4.36 do so. It is so freaking cool!!! JTAC starts at about 29:00 minutes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjF1EYCS78o
It's amazing the amount of time spent by members to help each other.Hat's off to FH and amazing videos Jody! You're the king of these.
Awesome! Very interesting reply on that video as well, thank you Jody and Foghorn!
I remember my first flights with my instructor, I was so overwhelmed just flying the plane that I never heard the radio messages from the tower or flight following...
Do you want the debrief here, or in private?
Okay cool. If the Ops Checks just didn't make the cut in the video, I take back the spanking. Regs say, "... at least every 20 minutes...", so the techniques I offered are WAY more often than that, which is overkill... but my name is Foghorn. There is no such thing as 'overkill'; there is only 'open fire' and ' reload'.Your explanations were bordering on perfect... succinct and factual. Just add "My technique is.." or "One technique is..." in the spots where you are now describing your technique for something. That's all. You do not need to give every possible technique in existence; just call out that what you are now explaining is a technique and not a procedure. The audience is savvy enough to infer that there must be other, valid techniques in existence, and its up to them to suss them out if they so desire.A word about your YT viewership. Are trying to become a YouTuber? Are you trying to make YouTube videos a career and support yourself with a rapidly growing channel?God, I hope not. Yes, your 3-minute videos will get more viewers. BUT, THEY ARE NOT YOUR AUDIENCE. Those 3-minute viewers are the bunny-hopping, Call-of-Duty-twitching, short-attention-span-theater crowd that snort Tide Pods and drool. FUCK 'EM. Your audience are those hardcore simmers who build badass cockpits, and THOSE maniacs watch your videos all the way through... even if it's only a few tens or a couple hundred viewers. Time to make a decision on what's your focus and who you are trying to reach.Jeez, am I always this preachy? I should shut up.
Reading and seeing this makes me realize the level that can be reached by private simbuilders/simflyers. It is amazing how far we have come technically in private simbuilding and it is awesome that here on VP we can have a professional like @Foghorn help us understand techniques and procedures. Also a big congrats to @Marvin for succeeding to not only get a dreamsim, but also achieving the level he has in operating it.
You have to credit Jody with a bit of extra respect for hitting the turns in the pattern so good. In these 3 projector setups we are using it is not easy to judge the right turn in point, as BMS does screw up the image due to its FOV limitiations. So looking to the left 90° isn't actually 90° left in the virtual world as well, making it incredible hard to get the turn in right! Kudos dude!
and where it lacked realism.
