  1. I thought the same thing, but turns out it's a different Karlsruhe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Karlsruhe_(1905) They found/eyeballed the WW2 cruiser with the same name recently too. Smoked by an RN sub in 41. It was one of the ones with the weird offset rear turrets. One of the WW1 Karlsruhes that was sunk/sank is in Scapa Flow IIRC, the other I don't know if they've found. E: Oh the one that isn't in Scapa Flow randomly blew up somewhere in the Atlantic.
  2. Been meaning to check those out but haven't yet. Started over in OnAir based out of Gibraltar with no AIs to make free money for me. Just finished a cool flight toward the end of a job chain that took me around Spain and Portugal with the smooth gliiiiiiide in to some place called La Juliana, LEJU. Because I ran out of gas 8nm out. It was fucking awesome. Also probably good that this place has 100LL cause I still need to get to Rota and then back to Gibraltar. E: To clarify, OnAir has airports in the database that don't necessarily have Jet or 100LL (no mogas, even though Im pretty sure some of the Rotax planes in this can use it) available at the FBOs that are present. Some have both, some have one or the other, some have none or no FBOs at all. So if you are dumb and just click shit like me without checking out the airports, you end up going to places that only have the wrong type of fuel or no fuel at all, and have to either stop on the way, or work on your glider skills. If it comes down to it, you can rent/buy a plane and fly cans of fuel to wherever your plane is (or hire AIs to do this for you). Anyhow, it uses some plugin to set your fuel levels and make sure you aren't cheating by adding gas mid flight and all that. It's pretty cool until you get in to the Longitude and can only go 500nm or whatever it is because Asobo fucked it up.
  3. Watch they'll win 12 games in a row using a copy of Madden 2003 to call plays.
  4. Yeah, they're slapping another one street neighborhood in a little ways down the road (on Prue Rd in SA) and the service was down all the time while they were doing the sidewalk/entrance/whatever type work right there where Google ran the lines.
  5. That's pretty similar to the one we've got, I think. I'll admit I haven't even looked at it in quite a while, and have never needed to use it, but it's not super oldschool (relatively speaking) like what my grandma had in her house or anything. A couple of times a year, one of our grant writers will be in there poking at that thing. Then the place they submitted it to will return it for some small reason and they've got to do it all over again.
  6. This is a thing. My department has a typewriter that occasionally still has to be used for some dumbass form or another.
  7. They were bitching about how "only" part of his foot was out of bounds. E: And giggling about the missed holding on the touchdown where the guy stepped OOB. Fuck these two.
  8. Why does he keep saying the Tech RBs first name?
  9. I snagged that new Mooney that showed up in the marketplace. Cruising west of Boca Raton at 10k on the way to Cuba:
  10. Turned this on just in time for HAHAHAHAHA from the announcer.
  11. Yeah but did his ribs hurt anymore?
  12. It's like 3 grand for that GFX card, SSD, board, PSU, processor, etc, then they shove $60 Newegg special RAM in it. Probably doesn't make a huge difference in something like Crysis, but it's still weird.
  13. Oh! Well that's completely different. Very nice. Artistic. Classy.
  14. There is no joy in your life anymore.
  15. Hey Parliament's article talks about the new F-15EX buy too.
  16. Yeah, we charged Afghanistan $18m for them two or three years ago (depends on when that decision was made too). They were also something like double the operational cost on that page at that time too. We're going to hit $25-30m a pop. They're WAY less capable than a "legacy" A-10, let alone a new one. E: WE bought the 20 Afghan ones for $427m, so like $23m each, then sold them for $18m/ea. Not a bad deal for the Afghans, especially since it also included training and probably support for them. A new A-10 would be hideously expensive.
  17. The A-29B. Last I saw the Air Force cancelled the program, but IIRC the Navy is looking at them for some different things like special operations air support. They run like $25-30m each though.
  18. Well the wind appears to be fixed by the new patch
  19. Shit, my Chromebook uses a USB-C charger. I'm lazy and got a magnetic adapter (like the old Apple ones), because its better when you can just move the thing kinda close to the charger and it attaches itself, but without that those things are like $15. Buy all of them and place them strategically. E: This is an Asus. HP, naturally, probably has a snowflake proprietary charger because they're HP.
  20. Why don't you have chargers in every place you could possibly exist?
  21. Very first one was a Cowboys game in the 80s with Danny White at QB. I was like 5 or 6, an don't even remember who they were playing. I remember Danny White though, cause we ate at some place (in Burleson, I think? I want to say it was on that road where Spinks is, but I might be fucking that up since my dad lives out that way) that had his handprint on the wall on the way back.
  22. I'm convinced the 350i is the perfect plane. It's too bad the avionics are a little fucky at the moment in this game. Regardless, OnAir sent me down to South America for some mission stuff, and it can pretty much land and take off from anywhere. Made it in/out of MHDA just now on the way down, which consists of some Honduran farmer's backyard: 680ish feet of grass. Maneuver around the buildings and between the hills and you're golden. E: Also it has working windshield wipers, just FYI. This is one of those times where I start thinking about the choices I made, or didn't make, in life.
  23. Stuck at home in San Antonio FIGHT
  24. This one has been around for a while I think, at least relatively speaking. They just added the capability of using the new sim's planes in it, and then I guess made sure the SimConnect thing was working properly with it. There are planes available from FSX, XP11, P3D, along with MSFS. Speaking of: I had been limiting the planes I was giving to my AI peons to hand-me-downs that I had been using, but changed that up. Sold off all the TBMs, the Bonanza, and one of the two Caravans. The AIs are rolling in a King Air 350i, a King Air 200B, and a Mitsubishi MU-2B-60. I can only jump in the first one. I'm thinking about just buying myself a Savage Cub and running around to local dirt strips slowly delivering stuff by pure VFR while the lackeys make the real money.
  25. Okay so play this drunk. It apparently helps with decision making. I've now got two TBMs, a Caravan, and a Bonanza with AI employees flying them around all over the country plus $450k in the bank.
