You upgrade your spacecraft controls to be fully touchscreen-based. You are not going to space today.

a little on-the-nose there lunchbot.
purpletarget|ktns has joined #KSPOfficial
<JVFoxy>
touchscreens... ya not an upgrade I'd care for. I had a talk about this with someone a while back, so much could go wrong
<JVFoxy>
as something along the lines of what Tom Paris said from Voyager: There's something about having physical controls...
<Mat2ch>
Funny that this was already a topic 20 years ago
<Althego>
people just like real controls
<Althego>
they are more intuitive, easier to use and possibly even faster
<JVFoxy>
know where the controls are without looking.. where as touch screen, there's no tact. :\
<JVFoxy>
Its the same when it comes to driving and wanna change the radio without looking
<packbart>
I guess the displays in the Dragon are more for monitoring the automatic programs and not actually flying the thing
<packbart>
(and they do have a few old-fashioned buttons below)
<Althego>
yes, it is automatic. you can fly it through the display
<Althego>
the buttons are for emergency use if the display is not workin
<packbart>
hm. so the touchscreen is their main control interface
<JVFoxy>
granted you also have the display literally full-on right in front of your face. So you sorta have to look at things anyways
<Althego>
btw even airplanes started to use touchscreens
<Althego>
for a long time mfds had buttons on the side to select functions
<JVFoxy>
ya but you still have physical controls in a lot of places
<packbart>
planes communicate a lot to their pilots by standardized beeps and boops, istr
<packbart>
(and to the crash investigators)
<Althego>
that onlu applies to civilian planes
<JVFoxy>
there are alert sounds and alarms, ya..

some of it is navigational markers, mostly when landing

hoping my flight school is still alive. Ever since the pandemic, we lost our air field, school moved and now new owners. I haven't been there in a while cuz truck out of sorts and no transit to the airport

too bad they are made by monkeys typing random letters and held together by duct tape

<Mat2ch>
yeah, sad. They had a UH-1 simulator.
<Mat2ch>
One hour of fixing/updating their simulator and then one hour of UH-1 flying :D
<JVFoxy>
realistic flight sim but they charge soooo much an hour, and that's even if you can rent one :\
<Mat2ch>
130 EUR/h here
<Mat2ch>
which would be ok as birthday present, but still expensive
<JVFoxy>
almost 190 canadian here... cheaper to do actual dual instruction (well at least for ultralights)
<Mat2ch>
190 CAD is funnily 131.73 EUR :D
<Mat2ch>
you could just ask around at flight clubs if they would take you on a trip or something
<Mat2ch>
in Germany at least it is allowed to take something with you on a flight and charge a bit for fuel and stuff
<Mat2ch>
s/something/someone
<JVFoxy>
I went with ultralights cuz cheaper, lighter requirements... downside was, wasn't expecting the farmer to take back their land and possibly shut our school down. I have a bit of money tied up with things :(
<Mat2ch>
The danger of leasing land
<JVFoxy>
eh.. inflation
<Mat2ch>
eh, I hate everything currently and wonder when it all will crack, but, uh, politics maybe...
<JVFoxy>
I have a feeling there was some other stuff going on in the background... heard a couple of things here and there. Weren't suppose to be for another year but they broke the lease, dozed the land. Something about making more money by food than letting the school pay for it...
<JVFoxy>
but anyways.. don't wanna repeat of Meigs airport story here..
<Mat2ch>
That's why I like to buy stuff and not lease or rent it. I hate having to rent my flat here :|
