What a fucking disaster. Time to just cancel this flying piece of shit. Hope Trump just cuts all the funding for this flying lemon.

can we please just have an F35 complaints general
like fuck all these threads on the same shit
what is this autistic fascination with the F35 in particular
>>29757665
quit bitching. there's only a single thread on F-35 and it's on a diff issue (radar).
anyway, highlights from the GAO report:
>Pilots, maintainers, and administrators at three of the five sites we visited are concerned about ALIS’s ability to deploy and function in forward locations. For example, users are concerned about the large server size and connectivity requirements, and whether the system’s infrastructure can maintain power and withstand a high-temperature environment.
>ALIS users at three of the five sites we visited are concerned that a failure in the system’s current infrastructure could degrade the system and ground the fleet. Currently, ALIS information, including data from all U.S. F-35 sites, flows from the Standard Operating Units (SOU) to a single national Central Point of Entry, and then to the lone Autonomic Logistics Operating Unit (ALOU).26 This data flow process has no back up system for continuity of operations if either of these servers were to fail.
>Maintainers and pilots at three of the five sites we visited were concerned that ALIS does not have much interoperability with legacy aircraft systems... The ability to share information between ALIS and these legacy systems is vital due to the way the services operate.

Why not just actually post Buzzfeed or Cracked articles? Just skip the middleman, you know what I'm saying?

>hey, our software crashes every 4 hours
>I know, let's just do dozens of 2 hour flights to improve its record!
>>29758410
nah bro the latest fixes said it would stay on for 9 hours or so
>>29758380
If it doesn't fit the narrative, it doesn't belong. Just be patient, you'll be rubbing this shit in their faces soon enough.
>>29758427
They did 44 test flights in 96 hours.
If they wanted to actually prove it could last an amazing 9 hours without crashing, they would have done like 10 flights in that same amount of time.

Get fucked, OP. You had the raw PDF of what the government found about the F-35 and you chose to meme.

Meanwhile, in the thread that isn't full of shit:
>>>29752099
>>29757719
>are largely resolved
That is weasel speak meaning the bug remains but they cannot find it and hope that GAO will not notice it either.
When you fix a bug it is RESOLVED, it is not LARGELY resolved. I am amazed people still fall for that. Then again that is how they keep this zombie project going and going and going.
>>29757665
>what is this autistic fascination with the F35 in particular
Paid shilling from the people who lost the contract.
>>29757658
They wont cancel the plane.
If he gonna be a shit plane or no we gonna see it soon.
>>29759207
>the people who lost the contract
One of the best ways of finding all faults before entering production is to have the runner up for the contract do the auditing. They will have an interest in uncovering every single error and thus demonstrate the contract instead should have been awarded to them.
The result is that the taxpayers save a lot and the guys in the field get the hardware they can rely on.
Pentagon did this in the past with a few projects, not sure why they stopped,
>>29757658
is F-35 the reason why the rest of the mil is in such a decrepit shape and why soldiers are paid shit and VAs have no money?
>>29760395
No that's other bad decisions by Congress and the President.

>When you fix a bug it is RESOLVED, it is not LARGELY resolved. I am amazed people still fall for that. Then again that is how they keep this zombie project going and going and going.
Except in this case it'll never be "perfect", just have a large enough average that it's not going to happen in a mission.
>>29760459
>No that's other bad decisions by Congress and the President.
implying Congress can afford the increases...
f-35 project sucked all the money out of military budget.
>>29762388
Bull. Fucking. Shit. VA isn't even part of the DoD budget, for one.
And two, the F-35 is a tiny fraction of said budget.
>>29762388
Fuckups like the AAAV 'sucked the money' out of the budget.
>>29759357
>Pentagon did this in the past with a few projects, not sure why they stopped,
Any examples? Genuinely curious.
