Thought of the previous day (4/20): If we say "drink your drink" then why don't we say "eat your eats" or "food your food"?

TOTD: I think everyone should have Flux installed into their computers. I use it at night and it's definitely making a difference to my sleeping patterns.
f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again.
Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. f.lux will do the rest, automatically.

AM I MAN NAO????
TOTD: Having (very limited) experience in driving both a manual and auto transmission, I'd prefer manual every time. Mostly being that you are more in control of the vehicle and it feels more rewarding.
Though I can see why the steep learning curve would scare away most people. But once you've got the basics down...

Thought of the day.
I flew a Hurri Mk IVc in VVS paintscheme around Stalingrad at approx 300m above the city during the evening. Reminded me how much I love the feeling of cold air blasting against my wind (when I opened the canopy mid-flight, ofc) while I lined up against an airfield quite close to the city itself. Maintained a speed of 160+ km/h with full flaps and navigation lights on. Placed the nose on a slight dip below the horizon and let the plane steadily gets closer to the ground, all the while airspeed is bleeding rapidly right after I have cut the throttle down to 21%. Flared up the last minute to make the classic British 3-point landing. Thankfully it was soft enough that the plane didn't bounce up nor broken the landing gears (as I've always done in the past without fail ). Taxi'd to a nearby shed, engaged the chocks and killed the engine.
And all is seemingly quite in the Eastern Front.
TOTD: I really need to open and clean my joystick. At the very least to get all the dust debris out after 2 years of loyal service. Love you, joystick.

Took it apart and reassembled it. Thankfully without any hiccups.Surprised to see that my Logi Extreme 3D Pro differ in a few ways than the one in the tutorial I found (i.e no metal "pins" that kept the X, Y and Z sensors in place). But it was clear enough in explaining on what you should do to safely clean it of dust and debris.
1st time testing:
As you can see, when I leave the joystick as it is, in neutral, nothing is moving. As it should be. Before this the Z axis was jittery and often gave a flase signal of left rudder all the time.
Now, however...
8/8 would use to dogfight bogeys with
TOTD: In less than a week, I'll be entering MATA (Malaysian Aviation Training Academy) to study to be a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, for realzies...
I'm getting nervous already...

Thought of the day.
One of the plausible causes is that the range of movement that is actually being used by the twist sensors for the X, Y and Z axis are only 1/3 of what it's actually capable of moving. So after a prolonged period of use, grease builds up at these "stopping points" and the reading given by them becomes off.Midnight Rambler wrote:[post]86452[/post] It's is so jittery it is almost unbearable.
What I did was to twist it as far left and right as possible repeatedly to free up the grease. Other than that its just brushing and air blowing on the dirty parts.
Oh, and sad to say this but my 8 button has died, and 9 isn't looking too great either.
If anyone so happens to want to disassemble one,here a video of a guy doing it. Do it at yer own risk!
