and so you get overwhelmed and go on your phone to CHILL OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES but the passengers are shouting their own planeslop at you. That's how bad it's gotten. Flying isn't anything like war thunder it's just planeslop I genuinely hate it.

"Pull up?" Maybe one of your parents should have learned to pull out so I wouldn't hear all this complaining right now.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There are so many switches above me and none of them are on WW2 tier planes. If I wanted buttonslop I would play DCS.

Where da fuq is my prop pitch?

How can this alarm tell that I’m stalling for time?

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

I took a break to make this meme about it but its all fucked up because we keep bumpin around and I got pissed off and told someone else to try flying if it's so fucking easy.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Im coming in too fast for a landing and my plane keeps calling me a slur

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

That's all planeslop achieves: making pilots feel bad. If you're an autopilot, don't tell me what I'm doing wrong. Tell me what I'm doing right and say you appreciate me. If you think you know more than me because you're a computer and all you can do is complain about MY flying and ruin MY day, I'll turn you off. I'll turn the radio off and fly naturally. We biologically know how to fly and could manage to do so before some hater started screaming "windshear stall windshear" in our ears. Tell me what windshear means if it's so important to you and I'm supposed to control the weather.

You joke, but this is exactly how I’m feeling right this moment

I just said fuck it and hit my vape behind a curtain. Nobody noticed. Fuck it dude.

edit: nah the passengers noticed they're yelling

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

bro just use the fuckin stick and point the nose where u wanna go idk it's not hard

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's how it is with mouse and keyboard.

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

also the meta is to ignore alarms and just get to your destination as fast as possible

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What? You can't just read the manual for the first time in combat?

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

People fly planes in pilot school and they don't have a license either. That's hypocritical. I learn from doing things myself and do not like people telling me what to do.

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

New term: smugslop, when you say some smug aside after seeing someone else's --slop

Example: That's what you get when you let a badger fly a plane

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I literally have two rank V American jets, am fully rank IV Soviet and German, and know how to drive rank 3 boats. Show me your planes before you smugslop me.

smuglord Don't need a plane to know I don't know how to fly one

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you're really good at it. You'll never know unless you get a job as a pilot. All my passengers are such assholes that I don't even wanna go to pilot school now.

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

phoenix-think Shit maybe you're right. Slow down the plane real quick I'll hop in and give it a shot

[–] KhanCipher@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have the RBT-5, AU-1, T-V, both reward soviet P-63s (C-5 and A-10), the Me-262 'cas' variant (I think it's the A-2a. It's the one with half the 30s of the normal 262, but it can carry a 500kg instead), the T30, and a bunch of other stuff.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

You're more qualified to fly than me. If a passenger CALMLY said that instead of yelling at me, I'd let them fly.

[–] EveningCicada@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's probably some booze aboard that yuou can take to steel your nerves. I find that it helps me tune out the noise from overreacting passengers. But if it's an emirates flight you'll have no such luck.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've been vaping under my shirt but the passengers keep yelling that there's smoke. I told them the first time it isn't smoke it's juice.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Normies who can't tell the difference between smoke and vape smh

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Don't they know you can ~~apply~~ vape multiple slurp juices to the same landing?!

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

More like crybaby kevin. He's the one who kept talking shit because I didn't know how to work the radio, then the radio guy was yelling ATCslop at me so I said call me back when you can speak to me with some respect and turned it off. Kevin wasn't so smart when I told him to turn it back on if he's so smart.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I told him there's the door if you wanna talk shit. If you don't know what things on the plane are either, don't talk shit. Now I don't even want to fly where Kevin wants to go because he's just going to talk more shit about the landing. None of the passengers stood up for me.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Hey kevin how about you do the checklist for licking these nuts

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

AI is supposed to fly the planes now. That's why Trump fired all the air traffic controllers

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

ChatGPT has been a big help so far but it has me flying to an airport that my GPS says is the ocean.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago
