![]() ![]() Some instructors make it a priority for students to spend some flight time at a towered field to practice ATC communications during flight, or to view first-hand operations inside the tower.īut that’s not your only option these days. When you first start learning to fly, you learn the phonetic alphabet, phraseology, and then you train and practice radio communications with your instructor. The longer you practice hearing and speaking your new aviation language, the more fluent you will become, and the more confident you will be when speaking on the radio. Learning the language of aviation is not unlike learning a foreign language, or any other new skill.Īt first you’ll be hesitant, but the best way to overcome your hesitation is through knowledge, training, practice, and still more practice. So how do you learn to “speak ATC” and overcome your fear? Controllers would much rather have you request a repeat transmission to clarify the instructions than have you act on the basis of what you think you heard. Remember that ATC is working to maintain aircraft separation and keep everyone safe. If you’re not familiar with how ATC communicates, it can be very intimidating and downright nerve-wracking to push that thumb down and speak those two humbling words, “Say again?”ĭo not be shy about making that request! It is critical for safety. That’s the “huh?” moment that occurs when you can’t understand the fast-flowing stream of non-stop aviation lingo blaring from your radio. It’s a fact that both student pilots and seasoned aviators have at one time or another experienced what I like to call the “Say What?” syndrome. The best part is that the skills you master in your virtual aircraft will easily transfer to your real-life cockpit as well.įirst, let’s talk about the “push-to-talk phobia.” In this article, we’ll take a look at three virtual reality platforms that you can use in concert with your home computer or desktop flight simulator, to practice and sharpen your aviation communication skills. Just the sheer amount of information you receive from ATC to get an initial clearance can be overwhelming, let alone having to comprehend what the fast-talking controller just said, and then attempt to read back what you “think” you just heard.įortunately, thanks to virtual reality, there are online, real-time, controller-to-pilot platforms and software programs that can help you train for aviation radio communications - all in the comfort of your home.

![]() ![]() ![]() The rules and regulations for participating in the draw are identical to that of the normal Euromillions sweepstakes. Winning the Superdraw raffles is tantamount to winning multiple rollovers of the routine Euromillions jackpot draw.Īs the Superdraw winner, you are guaranteed to take home an assured €100 million in prize money. Usually, this special draw is organized around an important date or event, for instance Euromillions anniversaries when significant rule changes were introduced. Though it is very difficult to precisely pinpoint the date of the Superdraw event, the draw is organized at least once in a year.Įuromillions Superdraw was held thrice two times, once in 2013 and then in 2015. The Superdraw lotto is the most significant event on the European sweepstakes almanac that almost every Euromillions ticket holder looks forwards to with great expectations. To give yourself a chance of becoming a millionaire, or perhaps even winning the EuroMillions jackpot, don’t forget to take part in draws every Tuesday and Friday night.Without exaggerating a bit, it can be said straightaway that the Euromillions Superdraw is the mother of all raffles and lotteries held throughout Europe. It turned out that 24 of them came from the UK. This guaranteed that there would be 100 new millionaires across Europe. When the Reserve Fund builds up, special promotions such as Superdraws can be scheduled.Ī European Millionaire Maker was also arranged in January, using money from the Reserve Fund. It is necessary to hold some prize money in reserve to always ensure that the minimum jackpot of €17 million can be offered even if ticket sales are low for a starting draw. The Reserve Fund receives at least 10 percent of the prize money from every EuroMillions draw (going up to 18 percent after five rollovers). The Reserve Fund is used to pay for Superdraws. The jackpot cap increases by €10 million after someone has won the maximum amount. When the jackpot is high it only usually takes a few draws to jump up from €130 million to beyond €200 million, so it is possible that a record amount could be offered sometime in May. If a UK player wins, the Euro amount is converted to pounds based on the exchange rate on the day of the draw. The jackpot is always set in Euros because that is the currency of seven of the nine participating EuroMillions countries. The jackpot limit currently stands at €230 million (approximately £192 million). If there is no winner on the night this time, the jackpot will roll over to the next draw and keep growing until it is won or until it reaches its cap. No more information was ever revealed about the winner after they decided to stay anonymous, but the big pay day did propel them into the list of the top 10 UK winners of all time. The winning ticket was sold in the UK, and the lucky participant came forward just a few days later to claim the £109 million reward. On that occasion, a single player matched all the numbers to pocket the whole jackpot for themselves. It will be the second event of its kind this year, following on from the one on Friday 4th February. The Superdraw will take place on Friday 29th April. The date of the next EuroMillions Superdraw has been revealed, with the jackpot again set to be bumped up to a gigantic €130 million (approximately £109 million). Second EuroMillions Superdraw for 2022 Announced.Second EuroMillions Superdraw for 2022 Announced ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't just know the scene, I am part of the scene.įrom Wireplay to Jolt to Barrysworld to the early 2000's Eurocups, I was there in Division 1 + 2 and writing on ESR every single night of the week for years. I think I should know! I play it for hours each week, each month, each year. I have spent over 10,000 hours on the game. I was ranked #33 in the UK at QLRANKINGS back in 2010/11. I have played Quake III since 1999, and Quake Live since 2009. Post the match ID and the time here and I will post it on official forum for youĮdit: here is a useful link to a recent official forum post on the subjectĪn NO there ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ain't, son. ![]() How many "hackers" have you watched in replay and STILL BEEN 100% SURE THEY ARE HACKING? ![]() How many "hackers" have you reported to support? And there was never, ever a cheater problem in Quake Live.įunny b/c when you search "quake live" and "hacks" there are plenty of people who disagree with you about the number of hackers in QL. Far less resources and team members than Survarium is now. Quake Live was being run by a skeleton crew on an absolutely abysmal budget for 5 years before it moved to STEAM. Is Lazerhawk REALLY banned? Did LEKI never quit? And were those hackers I saw in my 3 games today just ILLUSIONS? This game is dripping in, infested with and bloated by hackers. And in the final game, enemy team had THREE hackers, all using ESP and aimbot and tracking my team through walls and pre-aiming from exits over 40m away. In the second game, enemy team had two hackers and my team also had hackers. And in the first game, enemy team had FOUR cheaters. Leki finally resorted to a 500+ word essay, with TIMESTAMPS, and detailed descriptions of how he cheats.Īnd just a few days later, I played vs Lazerhawk in two consecutive games, and he was hacking in both! I read three reports for Lazerhawk (his OTHER cheating account, not the first one) by Leki, and numerous other reports for that same player. They don't ban ANYONE who gets reported on the forum. Post them on the FORUM? ROFL! I been there, done that. At least, while that system isnt perfect, has less issues than their so called "great" anti cheat system they have now. Such potential for a game but i will be uninstalling this game and never coming back until they get on the VAC system. However when you get into a match and 3-4 people on the other team is aim botting the ♥♥♥♥ out of people (shooting through smoke, all head shots, 180 degree snap spin to your head and mag dumping) is pure and simple pathetic and these devs are dragging ass on the anti cheat. Wouldnt be an issue if it was truely a hand full of cheaters. It is pathetic they cant develope a better anti cheat system to were you hit this limit so quickly. I can not get into a match without someone snapping to my head with aimbot and i can only report a hand full of people per day which ends up being within 1-3 matches the limit has been reached. If your going to limit it, do it by match not by 24 hour periods. i can understand that logic but limiting it so low is pathetic. Pyr0 lähetti viestin:They don't want you reporting every single player like they do in csgo just cause your getting owned. A simple google search will pull up HUNDREDS or cheats for this game that are currently undetected but you devs claim only a "few" i guess the definition of "few" is subjective. This is rediculus of how saturated this game is with cheats, worst of all you have a LIMIT on how many times you can report people! seriously!? You devs had the bright idea of putting a daily limit on reports!? Well i guess your either stupid or just dont care of people are exploiting your game. Straffing and all head shots with semi auto across the maps, etc. People prefiring around the corners and all head shots, the famous reticle circle dance to make it look like they have recoil but they dont and all center mass or head shots. I have sad in one spot in bushes were will never see me, hell i cant even see out and someone snipes me from across the map. Every match i have gone into i have witnessed with the kill cam many hacks. You devs might want to revist your so called grand and perfect anti cheat system. I have seen the Devs boast about how great their anti cheat system is well i call complete and total BS on that. ![]() ![]() ![]() You’ll see that obviously it’s a fair bit less wide:īut while it’s less wide, it’s also quite a bit deeper:Īs you can see, it’s a smidge shorter, but not appreciably so.īut in many ways those two items are academic. There’s been a lot of attention here, but it’s probably important to debunk a few things as well.įirst up, here’s the size of the unit next to GoPro Hero4 (Silver/Black are identical in size). Next up we’ll take a look at how the Hero4 Session compares to other GoPro units. But how does it size up? Let’s move onto the next section. ![]() It’s just a standard micro-USB cable, like those used on non-Apple phones.Īs may be obvious…it’s a perfect little square. Then we’ve got the USB cable that plugs into the unit. Next are the frame ‘cases’, I’ll dive into these a bit more later – but essentially they’re brilliant. And finally to the far right is a new low-profile adapter for the Hero4 Session to keep it lower to a helmet. While the one in the middle is a new ball-joint mount that rotates around and locks in place. The one to the left is the most common one you’ve seen on past GoPro units. One sticky mount is flat, the other curved (for helmets). Then we’ve got the sticky mounts and previously noted box plate mount. Once you dig everything out of the box, here’s what you’ve got waiting for you:įirst up is the manual and GoPro stickers: The unit itself is attached within one of the frame cases, which is in turn attached to one of the standard GoPro mounts, which is finally attached to a solid baseplate that you can always save for later use (ideal for putting on a ledge/table/etc…). It comes in a box design fairly similar to GoPro’s other higher end cameras. With that – let’s dive into things! Unboxing:įirst up we’ll get this little nugget unboxed. If you find what you read here interesting, you can support the blog at the bottom. ![]() I’ll be keeping that one to answer questions here on the post. The other device was one I just bought myself (full price). That one will be going back to them shortly, like usual. One device was sent over as a media eval from GoPro to check out. And the results might just surprise you (both good and bad).Īs is always the case, I like to declare where I got devices. I’ve taken it (well, them actually) on multiple trips (actual vacations!) and beat the crap out of it in every way I could think of. I’ve been testing it since release, and have a pretty good handle on how it works. Yet this past Monday, they made the logical decision to drop the price to $299, so I figured I’d get around to clicking publish on my in-depth review taking into account that pricing change. The unit made headlines due to its small size compared to existing GoPro units. It’s been about almost three months since GoPro announced their Hero4 Session action cam. ![]() ![]() This regulation first applied to vehicles in 1978, when the average wasġ8.0 mpg.

Generally, their singing is comprised of many different tweets and beeps that can sometimes evolve into a more complex, rhythm-based song, and will usually be a fun, regaling tune that will always present some new and unique aspect to the listener. They’ll often learn the sounds from an older bird, repeating and refining their unique tune. They are loud and persistent singers, with a wonderful mishmash of tones and beeps, which they will proudly display throughout the day.
