FLUX MECHANICS

FLUX MECHANICS

Welcome to my new channel. The focus of my channel will VR/360 content. From my flights with the USAF in the T-38C - Talon to VR flights in Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), Star Wars: Squadrons, and my favorite space sim Star Citizen. Currently, my main focus with work is creating VR training content for USAF undergrads earning their wings in Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) and Pilot Instructor Training (PIT). I have many years in 3D design and multimedia design along with over a decade of music production. I'm really just here to just share some of the few things I enjoy. Feel free to ask any question that you like.

    How come you can lean out of the seat like that, I thought you were firmly strapped in?

  • @fluxmechanics
    @fluxmechanics11 ай бұрын

    We are strapped in very tight, but there are mechanics that the public doesn't usually know about in the seat. We can release a knob that controls the blue/purple parachute risers to give us some wiggle room for these type of engagements so we can look around. Notice the harness straps are attached to the harness. But there are cables that attached to the harness. That's the inertia reel system. If ejection happens it automatically pulls you back very tight. The part that looks loose is the harness connected to the risers that go directly up to the parachute when it deploys.

    There's a reason I zoomed in so you couldn't see the name tag. Lol. A company started making the thumb and fingertip already pre-cut so we weren't cutting them ourselves. They are called Wiley X gloves.

    We did receiver A/R in the sim when I was checking out in the KC-10 back in 1987. It was realistic. The visual wasn’t as good , of course, the tanker looked like the Hindenburg. It had flat sides like a zeppelin! Still, it was decent training for the real thing.
