![]() The other part is due to their musical influence. Some of this is due to Justin Timberlake’s solo success, which continued the band’s legacy, keeping hopes of a reunion looming every time he gets a prestigious honor or headlines the Super Bowl. Even though the band broke up in 2002, the group’s eight years together was enough to elicit a collective nostalgia that never really let them fade into obscurity. *NSYNC still has a massive hold on pop culture and pop music. ![]() Their sound also evolved over time, going from innocent pop love songs that really showed off their vocal chops to more dance-centric tunes with catchy choruses to a sound with more electronic elements to keep up with where pop music was heading. And harmonize they did, taking nearly every opportunity to sing a cappella for fans all over the world. The group consisted of singers that filled high and mid-tenor, baritone and bass vocals to create pleasing harmonies. Unlike a lot of other boy bands, *NSYNC had a fairly well-rounded sound. At their height, the band’s name was being marketed everywhere with marionettes, notebooks, keychains, video games and more displaying their likeness. The group kept up with the momentum for their third album, ‘Celebrity,’ which also debuted at number one and nearly broke their first week sales record. Their second album, ‘No Strings Attached,’ would prove to be even more successful, spawning the mega hit “Bye Bye Bye,” debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and breaking the record for most albums sold in its first week, a record that would stand until 2015. Following a supercharged start in Germany in 1996 (where many American pop artists got their start at the time), the group came back to the states to release their self-titled debut, which after much publicity, was certified diamond. Pop made its resurgence in 1998 with boy bands, notably the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, and starlets like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera leading the way.īut it is *NSYNC that really made a name for themselves above the others during that boy band explosion. From about 1993 until 1997, grunge and alternative rock took over the top 40. However, pop music lost some steam in the mid-1990s. ![]() Go back even further and you have The Jackson 5 and The Osmonds creating those sweet harmonies. New Edition and New Kids on the Block had all the tweenage girls falling head-over-heels in the 1980s. Menudo has gone through several iterations since the 1970s. Of course boy bands were around way before *NSYNC was ever a thought. Now, the infamous boy band, made up of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass, is in the spotlight again as they prepare to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Monday, April 30. It’s been two decades since *NSYNC took over the global music scene with their R&B-tinged bubblegum pop, sleek dance moves and coordinated outfits. *NSYNC 20 Years Later: How the Boy Band Made Pop Music History Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, takes a brief look at the lasting impact the boy band had on pop music ![]()

The flight deck is only 150 meters long, just enough to stop the aircraft.Īccept the challenge, take on missions in the spectacular scenarios and join the best Top-Gun pilots. Landing on an aircraft carrier is one of the most difficult tasks a pilot has to execute. IRL I presume ACLS T/C would give the ship your updated state.The most advanced Flight Simulator and Aircraft Carrier Landing System ever created. This is recorded and can be displayed on the LSO platform. Yes, if you talk to the ship they know you fuel state. I don’t know if the AI LSO in DCS can tell if an aircraft is overweight and automatically waves off overweight aircraft or if it’s just a bug with the unlimited fuel setting that causes an aircraft to get waved off every time, but I can tell you that with unlimited fuel turned on, I was getting waved off 10 out of 10 Case 1 landing attempts and when I turned off unlimited fuel, I immediately returned to my typical case 1 landing success rate of about 7 or 8 out of 10 successful landings and only 2 or 3 out of 10 attempts ending with wave offs. I finally realized that with unlimited fuel turned on, and no munitions except for bullets and AIM 9’s on the F/A-18C wing tips, the aircraft weights around 34,700 pounds.Īs soon as I realized this and turned off the unlimited fuel setting and I was able to dump fuel to 33,000 pounds or less, I was no longer getting waved off every time and started sticking about 7 or 8 out of 10 case 1 landing attempts again. What I didn’t realize is that when you have the unlimited fuel setting turned on, whenever you flip the dump fuel switch to the On position, it doesn’t stay in the on position and immediately switches to the OFF position, so when I thought I was dumping fuel, I wasn’t. With 6,000 pounds of fuel and no munitions except for bullets and AIM 9’s on the F/A-18C wing tips, the F/A-18C is below 33,000 pounds total weight. Part of my normal carrier landing procedures/checklist is to check my total weight on the checklist page and if I’m over 33,000 pounds, I turn on the dump fuel switch and as long as I have bingo fuel set to 6,000 pounds, the dump fuel switch will automatically turn off when my fuel state reaches 6,000. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. ![]() No matter what I did, I was getting waved off. A few days I ago, I wanted to practice my case 1 landings in the F/A-18C and I got the bright idea that I could get a lot more attempts if I didn’t have to stop to be refueled, so I turned on the setting for unlimited fuel.Īfter turning on unlimited fuel, I started getting waved off by the AI LSO every single landing attempt, even when I was on center line, On-Speed, with a centered ball. I had gotten to where I was successfully completing about 7 or 8 out of 10 Case 1 Landing Attempts without getting waved off or bolter. I had never flown in DCS with the unlimited fuel setting turned on. Normally with an unexpended loadout (typical CAS loadout) you’ll probably have somewhere around 4000 pounds of fuel (or a little more) at max trap. So, my question is: How do you deal with this in RL? Do you dump the extra tanks and/or remaining ordnance, at sea (sounds very costly)? Do you accept a heavy bird or do you accept the low state (very risky)? Or is weight not correctly modeled?Īs stated earlier, max trap is really 34000 pounds. So, my question is: How do you deal with this in RL? Do you dump the extra tanks and/or remaining ordnance, at sea (sounds very costly)? Do you accept a heavy bird or do you accept the low state (very risky)? Or is weight not correctly modeled? Edited Januby moggel I can only imagine coming back from a long interdiction with remaining ordnance under my wings! As it turned out I had about 2000lbs left which is definitely "low state", at the level where it's time to ask for priority! Loadout is just self defence (2xAIM-120C + 2xAIM-9X) and two external tanks.Īs I completed the mission part and started the inbound to Mother I checked the weight, which was at 42,000lbs so I put myself in orbit to relax a bit and dump fuel before heading back to the boat. Mission is ship identification/patrol at night in IMC (low cloud cover, rain and very strong winds). So, I put together a training mission for myself. He also went on to explain how to dump fuel in order to reach that limit. In the first episode he mentions that landing weight should never exceed 33,000lbs, and also adds that it doesn't take much in terms of ordnance, pods and external fuel, to become heavy for landing.

You’ll also have the chance to apply image adjustments and aesthetic filters to all the selected pictures at once. Its batch processing feature isn’t as advanced as you’ll find it in other programs, but you’ll be able to convert, rename, resize or watermark photos in bulk. If you’re dealing with multiple images that require the same changes, the tool offers a batch export feature. It’s also useful for professionals, because it offers multi-layer support, curve tools and local adjustments among others. It’s great for beginners, because it comes with numerous features to automatically enhance your photos. Polarr is a mix of both worlds and therefore is designed to address both beginners and professionals.

Last, go to Image > Paste Adjustments and the app will apply all the changes you made to the first picture. Next use your arrow keys to step to the next photos, remaining in Edit mode. With one of the images in Edit mode, apply all the desired edits to it. Then, once you’re done, go to Image > Copy Adjustments.
