Do the drivers actually fiddle with so many buttons during race?
>>339749492
BUT IT TAKES SKILL TO TURN LEFT FOR 90 MINUTES!
>>339750472
Yeah even more so now with the newer rules that the pit crew cant fuck with stuff as much anymore.
>>339750472
Yes.
Especially during tight corners and going at 340 kph.

Just kidding, pilots don't make money.
>>339752545
Planes cost more to buy, but you'll put less money into them, even considering maintenance. Depending on the plane, of course. A lot of new ones cost nothing to run.
Plus, they hold their value better, depending on the economic environment.
>>339754590
Don't commercial pilots need 1000+hrs before they even start the training to fly them?
>>339754872
Not at all. Rescue pilots do, but to get a commercial license you only need 200 command hours, which is really not long at all. ATPL (airliner) technically doesn't even need that, and airlines like Virgin or Etihad prefer you to have none at all, so they can train you.

No. No-one has died in an F1 race since 1994, and even the latest one (2014) was because of the result of something unsafe on the track (see webm)

If you're chief pilot for Emirates or private pilot for some Jewish banker, perhaps. But anything short of that and you're probably going to need a second job.
Never heard that story of the plane crash in the USA because the pilots were both exhausted from working their second and third jobs as waitstaff?
>>339758303
Sweet bro. We playing the new flappy bird? Can your console run it good enough?
>>339761843
>Never heard that story of the plane crash in the USA because the pilots were both exhausted from working their second and third jobs as waitstaff?
No, I'm Italian. Here the licenses for piloting are something around 100k and people always told me that the pilots make that money back in two years.
I guess it's bullshit, then.
>>339761806
Do they use automatics in nascar

>>339762663
Bloody hell, we'd only pay that to go from zero to Airline Transport Pilot License. But yea, still wouldn't make it back.
If you're the one interested in flying though, i'd still say go check out flight schools. Might not cost anywhere near that just to get a private or recreational license.

Have fun getting a job that pays more than McDonalds with sub 1000 hours. Plus the FFA doesn't even allow you to fly more than 18 passengers without 1000 hours, and 50 night hours.

Apparently the FFA is different to CASA, then. You can fly anything with ATPL here. Friend of mine flies for Cathay (A330 First Officer now) and only just clocked 1000.

At least the pay is good. Still, life is suffering and I will never, ever stop wondering how life would be if I could be a pilot.

I know, I checked.
>>339764530
Should have been more specific. It requires at least 20 night hours in the past 3 months.
But whatever, honestly becoming a pilot in the US that actually makes decent money is retarded. The easiest route is probably the military. Airlines hire those guys right when they get out.
>>339764483
I really like driving on it in games.
That plus 2011 yeah.
>>339764547
In 2011 the grand prix was delay a bunch due to rain, and vettel was leading the entire rice, the on the last lap vettel spun out and button passed him and won.
Button started from last I think, and had about 8 pit stops. >>339759538

>>339763834
well you could setup a custom race on Forza with 16 other cars and 50 laps (dunno if you can go higher)
considering that each lap is somewhere around 6-7 minutes, the race should be at least 5-6 hours long

Why don't they do Spa backwards? It would be a much better track.

True everywhere. I really regret not doing it. Would have been free and clear a few months ago if i had.
Not only do they get paid to learn to fly, officer pay is fucking fantastic, then you're extra qualified.

>>339764982
Isn't that thing actually controlled by the pilot?
I will never understand how exactly these helicopters work. I'm guessing the second guy is "missile exclusive" and that, in actual real threat moments, the pilot would exclusively fly and look for MANPADs.
>>339765065
US? What branch were you going for?
>>339765218
It looks were the gunner is looking. He can also lock it on a target, or lock it so he can move his head without worrying about the gun moving.
Also, the gunner uses the weapons. The pilot flies the helo.
Don't you think it would be a little too much to both fly the helo and use the weapons?
>>339747264
Www-what side is the gas tank on again?

Australia. We can go RAAF officer training straight out of highschool and just be rolling in cash, six figures and they cover training and any costs if you want to go to university. You have to commit for five (six?) years, but now that time has passed, it seems like it would have been a good choice.

> no "Jenson" button
>>339765385
not him but i see the appeal of Nascar
its a spectator sport, and almost exclusively so
its a crowdpleaser and damn good at it
also, it takes alot more skill than it would seem
it is door to door racing at really high speeds in cars that are basically archaic
>>339765446
The good thing about the US is that we have such a fuck hueg military they need a lot of pilots in proportion to that.
We have to commit to 10 years in the US Air Force, and you also need a bachelor's degree.
Are you too old? Are there not other officer commissioning programs?
