Hi r/flying, I just wanted to make a post to thank this community for all the stories and discussion that finally inspired got me to stop waiting and call my local flight school and and set up an intro flight.

The chief flight instructor set me up with another instructor for today at 6, so I headed down after work and met up with him. We went out to the 152 tied up outside and he talked me through a preflight and some communication basics we got going.

He let me taxi the couple hundred feet to the runway and then he back taxied and took off.

He climbed up to 2400 ft, leveled it out and then gave me the controls. He worked with me on wings level flight, scanning for traffic (we did find

Hey r/Nationals!

This is the wrap up post for the first half of Nats Stats for 2015. I figured tonight would be better because we don't have a game to focus on.

First, thanks for all the participation! There were 595 total entries submitted over 36 games for an average of ~16 entries per game!

A total of 2004.21 points were awarded for an average score of 3.37 per entry. Hitter scores fared much better than pitcher scores, so I'll keep tweaking it to bring them closer together.

u/dux291 turned in a perfect 5.00 on a Dan Uggla game way back at the beginning of the season, and to-date is the only perfect score ever.

#Now for the first-half winners:

[2015 First-Half

Nats lose 8-4

W - Fiers (3-6)

L - Zimmermann (5-4)

MLB.com game recap

Can we get a thread to talk about whatever we want while we wait for Nationals baseball to come back tomorrow? Like a free talk Friday except it's Monday.

Is the bot broken? The game starts in like 20 minutes, right?

edit: quick, everyone party in here before the mods show up

This is also the MLB TV free game of the day if you are out of market and want to watch online!

Pitch Counts:

I understand that each stat will start declining after about 8 weeks of not being trained, but how do I handle that when I'm not getting enough playing time to earn points?

I made a closer first, but once I got my stats up enough they would go down as fast as I could raise them since I was only pitching 2-3 times a week. The same thing happened with both starters I made, since they both got thrown into the bullpen when they got called up to the majors.

My second baseman was delegated to pinch running/hitting, so I only got maybe 10 at-bats per month with a handful of running opportunities. I just kept demanding a trade until I landed on a team where I was the starter, so I'm at least getti

r/flightsim, I recently bought the PMDG 737 and have been having a great time learning an in-depth sim, but I have a question about the SID/STAR part of the FMC.

I know my nav data is out of date, since I have what came with the PMDG FMC, which is cycle 1108. I fly in/out of KRIC a lot, for example, but the FMC only lists the COLIN5 departure (current) and the YEAST1 departure, which I'm guessing is old since I can't find a chart for it. The data in my QW757 (cycle 1401) is a little better with two current departures, but it's still missing the other two current KRIC departures.

I've looked around, but don't think I saw a good option for FSX-compatible (meaning old) DEP/ARR charts, so doe

My second baseman for the Rangers AA team slid into second on a steal and managed to tear his ACL. It popped up a really disheartening injury message and then he got carried off the field by the training staff. Out 6+ months, so there goes the rest of the season.

I'm kinda frustrated, but also kinda impressed that a freak injury situation was modeled pretty well. Anyone else have a career setback yet?

r/Nationals,

Welcome to the kick-off post for Nats Stats for the 2015 season! If you were around the sub and game threads last season, you probably have an idea of what I'm talking about; if not, don't worry! I've added a guide for rules and a how-to-play guide, both of which I'll keep in my Google Docs folder and link below.

For those of you that don't know what Nats Stats is: I wanted to have a recurring event here in the subreddit. Baseball is a great platform since there are so many games and we have so many game threads, so I created a daily contest/game that is easy to play and gives everyone something to look forward to. The 2014 season was more of a 'sandbox' type trial to let me

r/OOTP,

Reddit's search function sucks, so pardon me if this has been asked and I missed it.

What trade settings do you use in your files? I currently have mine on the 'default' settings of:

Trading difficulty: Average

Ratings weight: 65

Current years stats: 15

Previous years stats: 15

2 years ago stats: 10

But it seems like the AI never wants to swap around minor leaguers or even negotiate trades. I've pulled off a handful of trades, but they were like pulling teeth and probably took me hours of real life time to negotiate.

I know that's how baseball works, but it gets really frustrating when I want to trade away a surplus player for a similarly or worse rated

The model I'm currently working on (Trumpeter 1/72 Elefant) will be my first time assembling tracks from 'scratch' and I want to make sure I know what I'm doing. I've done other models that come with those terrible rubber tracks, but I don't like they way they look on the models.

I've watched a couple videos on YouTube like this one, and the general process looks like secure some masking tape upside down on my work surface, arrange the tracks on that, and then apply some cement so that they stick together.

My main question is how long do I let the tracks sit before fit

Is the bot broken again? I miss my updating box scores

Didn't see one yet so here's this.

I didn't see one and assume the bot is at work for the afternoon game. Mods can ditch this one if we get one

Bobblehead day!
