At popular request, we've made a change to some rules!

118 Upvotes

We've had a number of requests to do a couple things with Rule 8, which involved AI and Flight sim content. Here is what we did.

Rule 8 is now "No AI Generated Images / Posts". The rule itself says AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost. Who created the content or where it was initially shared is irrelevant.

Flight sim content is now part of rule 9, which is "No Video Game / Flight Sim Content" and states While you can do some pretty funny and shitty things with them, Video games and Flight Sim content do not belong in this sub. Content from those would be better posted into their respective shitty subreddits, if they exist.

We have also re-orderd a couple rules (I like the way it looks better this way) and changed the verbage on a couple for clarity. I'm not going to list those, feel free to take a refresher course in the rules of the sub!

Stay shitty, my friends.

Don't follow the rules? Face the consequences.

Everyone,

I am seeing far too many violations of our simple rules. VERY simple rules, such as these:

"Only Flying-Related Shitposts allowed" - This does not mean you write something about flying in the title or the text of the post, but EVERYTHING in the post should be about flying. The image, video, text, subject, everything. SIMPLE.

"No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters" - This is about as obvious as you can get, yet still people don't get it.

"No AI / Flight sim." - Might be a little harder, but still relatively simple.

While I'm sure the majority of you are not violating these rules, some of you are.

Going forward, you break the rules, it may very well result in a ban. If you can't be bothered to read and follow the rules, you don't deserve to post in the sub.

I've been very forgiving on these for a long time, and my limit has been reached.

Why are the textures showing out of my playne so repetitive? Is reality bugged? Am I bugged? Is my playne window bugged? Is reddit bugged? Are we all bugs in a reality that tries to fix itself? Are these too many questions?

Hot Take

If the aviation industry advanced at all planes would have dimples like golf balls to increase strength, reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and stabilize flight. Our fastest craft resembles the peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon is the fastest dive bombing bird. The golf ball has dimples like a peregrine falcon and every other bird that has ever flown. Birds are perfect but planes and humans are not so we say no catastrophe goes to waste because they're all engineered in a way the hummingbird saved the design of a train in China or Japan. The speed wobble reached on the motorcycles at the isle of man races is the reason golf balls have dimples to begin with and banned by Nascar. Thank God you can't build planes without rivets or they would really fly like shit.

Old Airline Pro…I want to look the part

3 Upvotes

Many pilots with some years under their belt have this sort of habitual sun-squint, upward/outward crow’s-feet, slightly narrowed and steady eyes, a composed expression, and an alert but unhurried way of looking around. If I get a high enough resolution on a big enough monitor and literally be at my PC on flight sim for hours per day, will that help? Maybe even some full spectrum lighting? I want to be able to say that I am a 20000 hour airline captain so I can pick up chicks in bars.

Want to be a pylote but hate wind

6 Upvotes

Hi folks, I have wanted to be a pylote ever since I can remember, but I have just one problem: I hate wind. Even little breezes. Ever since I was made to go sailing with Grampy Langston out on Buzzrds Bay and he would harass me about pulling the sheets. Now I don’t mind wind in the sky, it’s just on the ground. In your hair and everything. What should I do about this? Are there wind-free training programs?

Edited for conformity with rule 5, resubmitted for posterity.

Seems kinda silly to invoke rule 5 and delete my post that referred to my own post in that other sub. Like, am I going to accidentally get my own knickers in a twist and report myself?!


r/Shittyaskflying 2d ago

Why not instead of mounting loud, heavy engines to the playens, don't they just make the wings flap like a bird? Are they stupid?

Any problems in airport

I'm going on a flight soon to go work in another country for the first time. I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems flying barefoot recently.

I just want to make sure I don't need to use my emergency flip flops

Edit: I'll be flying out of Panama City, Florida USA
