![]() "Every day, morale got worse because it felt like Univision was determined to stamp out all the great things about working at Gawker Media," one former GMG staffer told Business Insider. But now the environment is, as one employee put it, "toxic," and as downcast as it was during some of the Hogan trial. Staffers say they felt initial relief after Univision beat out the media company Ziff Davis to buy GMG out of bankruptcy for $135 million. ![]() The Gawker ethos is fadingĬonversations with more than a dozen current and former staffers over the past several weeks detailed a difficult integration that has chipped away the spirit and ethos of Gawker Media, founded 14 years ago by Nick Denton as two blogs covering media and tech gossip, which eventually evolved into the fiercely independent, proudly standoffish, endlessly navel-gazing media company targeted by Thiel and Hogan. ![]() Since transitioning over to GMG's Kinja publishing platform in January, the African-American digital magazine The Root has 35% more uniques each month than it did in the same months last year.įor many GMG employees, "challenging" is an understated description of the past several months. Other Fusion Media Group sites that were integrated into the GMG portfolio have thrived. Traffic to the sites has remained steady at about 90 million monthly unique visitors since he took over in October, certainly an accomplishment considering Fusion's notoriously poor online traffic and the loss of the 15 million to 16 million monthly uniques that Gawker's flagship website generated. Narisetti said last week that even after he had hired 53 new full-time staffers across the websites, the company remained under budget and on target to experience a 30% increase in revenue across the sites in one year. The CEO, who joined GMG in October from News Corp., rattled off top-line statistics that showed a company growing after a tumultuous multiyear legal battle with Hogan that took the company from a $250 million valuation to bankruptcy. ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]()

![]() ![]() Note all headings and timings for all waypoints (e.g. ![]() What I've done in the past for a navigation exercise (and this is by no means 'realistic' but adds a challenge) is to take note of the heading and timings at each waypoint then fly the mission without the flight path being shown on the map. Just a suggestion but presents a bit of a challenge. I just hope I didn't just turn you off from the navigation part of things! The closest I've had so far is the long range flight on the SCW campaign on the Nationalist side when you try and get troops to the mainland from Africa.Īs a furloughed pilot I try to help when I can, as long as I know what the hell I'm talking about. Like you said, navigation would be an excellent type of challenge - especially for the #TGA era of IL2. They also put notes right on the map itself as they fly along. I know some folks on FS9/FSX/X-Plane that buy or print an old sectional and then laminate it so that they can use dry-erase to plot flight after flight on it. You can then see how long it takes to consume "X" amount of fuel from the gauge, convert that to minutes and plug it into the flight computer you printed and you should have an idea whether you'll make it home or to the virtual POW camp.Īs far as "math" to figure position, it would be better if you would be able to print the maps from the FMB so that you could have something to write on or plot on. If you can read the fuel gauges you can take readings and jot them down somewhere. You know your speed and you know how far you are (generally), so all you really need to know from that is how long it's going to take. I'm giving you the relavent page that may help, but if you have another sim (X-Plane, FSX, FS2020, etc) looking around can help quite a bit:Ĭharles Wood's Flight Sim Navigation: Plotting Your Courseįrom what I've seen there aren't too many things in IL2 that cannot be done just by using the printed E6B above. It should help you a little:įlight Letteracy: Dead Reckoning NavigationĪnd finally, here's an FS9 (yes, I know it's old, but many of us still use it) navigation website that may help you out. Rod Machado, a well known aviation legend, did this for a website called "Flight Litteracy" a while back. Then again, I'm not sure of any dynamic stuff for the #DOF or #TGA modules yet or if they're even possible to create for the campaigns. ![]() I know you can set the weather for missions to include wind, but I'm not sure how that works with any type of DCG or DGen mission. Since it's a home-built, you'd have to figure out the "wind triangle" for wind computations on your own since there's no "wind side" to the thing, but I don't know if IL2 has real intense weather interaction anyway. If you're more into videos, there are several on youtube that can get you going on how to use the flight computer. I found that Gleim still has some instructions online, even after all these years! Guess I'm not as old as I sometimes feel! Just paste the parts you printed to the pieces you cut and you have your own flight computer. Your best bet would be to print this on regular paper, then finding some cardstock or even a used "Ritz" box that you can cut up to size. As far as using one, that would have to be found online. Here is a printable one I found online which you can use to make your own. I still have my 25 year old E6B and CR-2 which are mechanical flight computers that allow you to make various calculations. ![]() It won't matter if you don't have the instrumentation in the cockpit anyway, though. I've messed around with the FMB a little and saw some possible objects that are "ILS" or "Loran" in name, but not sure if they have the functionality as well. I'm not sure there are navigation beacons in IL2, but I'm fairly new so I may be wrong. For Kilometers just remember that it's a "base-10" as opposed to a "base-60" system, but you can easily adapt it to metric by using 60km in your calculations as opposed to 100km: Remember that this is for Miles and Nautical Miles. Here's a link I found that can better explain some of the "simple" math that can help out. Most of it is for the 1950's and 1960's, but there are some things that are for the older stuff as well: Again, it's going to be different inside IL2 but it at least gives you a trove of information that will keep you busy for hours - especially since there is some information that may date back to the era you're looking for. Here is a site I use for pictures and/or data regarding older airports and flying maps. Still, there are many things that I'm sure can help you out as far as general info. Not sure how much can be done with IL2 in general since it was made as a combat sim and not so much as a flying sim. ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for. While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. These ingredients should all be part of your skincare routine.Īs you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down.
