    Would have been especially nice if the camera wasn't waving back and forth faster than the eye can focus on the object of interest. Maybe somebody else will do it.

    We had no issues focusing on things! This goes to show you how quickly we have to analyze the situation on the flight deck. It takes months of training to adapt.

    Is that rust and dirt?? There are rustproof metals available. Not in the navy but was in the army and that would never happen on my watch.

    How do these boards work exactly? Are those numbers on wheels that rotate, or are they projected somehow? Working on a 3d model and I’d LOVE to know how I can make it accurate

    It would be nice to see someone actually comment regarding the operation of the equipment that was posted. Instead of asking other random Catapult questions. For example,..how do the JBD’s operate? What is their purpose? Are they saltwater or freshwater cooled? Why are they angled that way? What happens during failure?
