dtomcat Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 This is essentially the same chip you have. Just “skinned” differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software and programmer I wish I could receive an inheritance, not have to work and just learn all the things I want to know and refine all the skills I want to have. I hate not contributing anything of real value to this scene. I have a life (not so much right now, really, lol) but this arena does give me a lot of happiness and satisfaction and I wish I could contribute the way others do. Very cool tomcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtomcat Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 I know the feeling! I haven’t worked in 2 years due to a back injury. Hoping to go back to flying in a few months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to go back to flying in a few months I had just started flying lessons at long beach airport when this happened... That's on hold now. I don't even know if I'll pass my medical anymore with the open-chest artery surgery, clavicle surgery and broken wrist. I might be fucked.

dtomcat Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 The artery may require a closer look. But you’ll definitely be able to get a third class medical to fly. Would probably require a few tests for a first class medical. I have to get a first class every 6 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably keep the thread clear and move to PMs, but I'd like to say that MSFS 2020 with ray tracing and a decent home simulator setup is a dream of mine. Everything motorized of course, especially that noisy ass trim wheel. Sometimes that thing never shuts up when it gets in a mood. Lol. I could never hope to pilot an actual commercial jet.

Bowlsnapper Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Actually, what tools would I need to build that XBlast and how much are all the parts to solder on? I have time... I might as well get better at soldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would need to program the cpld and flash the sst... That would be an investment... But I want to start soldering better and I don't want to do it by failing at RAM upgrades. Lol. I have lots of RAM that I'm afraid to use. I know I'm capable of being able to do more than a punk-ass LPC rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
