Been getting this on and off (more on than off) the last couple days just from this site. Anyone else having this issue? Doesn't sound like something that would be on the user end. Thanks

So for 2026 engine specs: 1.6 litre V6 16:1 compression max boost 69.6 PSI (4.8 bar) output around 530HP on ICE part 470 HP on electric part so about 1000HP So when I was racing my Lotus, 1.8 litre cosworth internals, 10:1 compression and about 14 PSI (about 1.0 bar). I had water cooled intercooler with separate radiator and I still couldn’t keep IAT (indicated air temps) into the combustion chamber below 175F on a hot day and above 175F = engine death. So how the heck does F1 manage 16:1 compression and almost 70 PSI boost and not blowup the engine even with very short stroke? Not only do the F1 engines need to last, F1 teams only g…

Hello, My favorite airplane of all time is the Avro RJ. These birds will never be as popular as the Airbus and Boeing fleets, therefore I'm trying to build a community around the 146/RJ where we can talk about these birds, post screenshots, share tips etc. If you want to be a part of this community, send me a PM and I'll send an invitation to my discord server dedicated to this bird. 🙂 Best Regards, Johan

Since yesterday i've been experiencing avsim page faults, issued by Cloudfare as per being a "passtrough" service. Am I alone 😁?

It gonna get COLD out there! I'm in north Texas and it'll get below freezing about midnight tonight, and stay below freezing until Tuesday about noon. According to windy.com at least. Monday morning is supposed to get to the single digits. PETA advisory: Keep your brass monkeys inside for a few days. One local report was for an inch of ice. It's already raining here with a temperature of 45. Last time something like this happened, power was out for a week. I was reading Stephen King novels by candlelight. My life was a Stephen King novel. At the time we had propane heat so were OK on that front. Not this time. For Christmas this year we all got propane coo…

Then you will like the Netflix documentary about Judit Polgar. Watched it last night, very good. https://www.netflix.com/je/title/81749912

Kryten becomes human and is a little confused about human bodily functions. 😁 The crew has their personalities changed. 🤣

All ends well... but RTO not far from V1 according to FR data. Mixed feelings about this incident and hard to comprehend, but let's the investigation bring us the facts.

Our F-105s were in the standard configuration of 6 750 pound bombs on the centerline and a fuel tank under each wing ready for the afternoon mission when we got permision to bomb the Paul Doumier Bridge. All hell broke loose on the flightline. My load crews had to scramble to reconfigure the aircraft with a 3,000 pound bomb under each wing and a centerline fuel tank . I must have made more than dozen trips between the flightline and the bomb dump to hurry up the delivery process. All regs went out the window. Regs said we could only haul two bomb trailers at a time but we were hauling as many as four. I towed some myself behind my pickup. We had armament crew…

But what about the Kessler syndrome. I mean, one million satalites!!! Where will they be orbiting? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyv5l24mrjmo 8:48 in video...

Forgive me if that sounds like click bait. Something I discovered a few weeks ago that really does help with reading Avsim forums, which is why I'm posting it here. If you're like me, you open a forum main page, then open each unread thread by right clicking on the little icon that shows new posts and selecting "open in new tab" so you can set up to read all the new threads without leaving the main window. I discovered that if you middle click (press the mouse scroll wheel) it automatically opens the link in a new tab with only one click. This works in every browser I've tried, and with every link. I've found it especially useful in YouTube. At least …

29:20 the UAP video starts. Claimed instant acceleration. First thing I did was look at background features to determine if this was simply the camera that moved. Didn't seem to be. Opinions lads?

2 gallons per hour type 91 fuel. cruises 100 mph. Easy and cheap to maintain. They make the engine and the plane in house.

Quite a challenge for a young babies immature immune system.

High prices are hurting sales. So McDonald's is going back to an 1980s idea: Happy Meals boxes with building blocks to make little dinosaurs or robots or living trash cans. Big mistake. They should have chosen cat figures instead.
