Would you train as a commercial pilot at 46?
antney79 replied to rocketlaunch's topic in Hangar Chat
That’s not true at all. Not sure your situation and if you can flight train full time or have to work full time and do this on the side. If you can take the cut in pay it would take 12-18 months to get from zero time to your flight instructor license. This is all dependent on how much time you can put in each week. If you could do 4/5 lessons a week is ideal. If you do one a week every lesson you would be spending over half the time relearning from the lesson previous, which in return will take you longer to get your license. After that it would take a year of time building either by fight instructor or other options to get enough time to get on with a regional. Not sure what your career goals would be but I say this is all possible within 5 years. That gives your 15 years at an airline. Plenty of time to enjoy a career and upgrade to captain. Just depends your situation and what you want to accomplish. I would strongly suggest getting your medical first to see if you can even obtain a first class medical. Then get your private pilot license to make sure you even like this. If then you decide you want to go for it then dive full in and don’t let anyone discourage you. If you let other people decide your fate you will never get where you want to be. -
CPU Upgrade Question
antney79 replied to antney79's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
No excess cash but I really don’t fully know all computers and what’s best. Right now I am cpu limited. So was just curious if the 12th generations would eliminate that. -
3080TI or 3090
antney79 replied to antney79's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etc
thanks -
Curious on if the results will be that much greater for a 3090 compared to a 3080ti card. Right now my system has a 2080, nothing fancy. Just curious if there is a need for that much vram compared to what the 3080ti can be. Not a computer expert at all but if I am spening $1,000+ for 3080ti and can get a 3090 for $1,700 I dont want to be foolish but if the gains are so minimal I would go with the 3080ti. Thanks!

Do any of you have a stand alone tiller for the sim, not just a twist axis on a current controller? -

Will this work with Microsoft Flight Simulator or just P3D? -

Pretty expensive, hopefully more options will come or Honeycomb will have an add on to their system. -
Honeycomb Bravo FSUIPC or Default UI?

Everything worked fine for me out of the box. Used msfs interface to configure everything. best flight controls I have had hands down.
