As the title says, I am new to the Yamaha SY77, and I'm making a split voice with piano on the left and sax on the right, and I want the sustain footswitch only to affect the piano. (How) can this be done? It was trivial on the DX7 II-D with a Split-mode Performance, but I can't seem to find a setting on the SY77.

Having programmed the DX7 (II) for a long time, and having read the SY77 manual, I had no big trouble finding my way around the 77, but this one baffles me. I would consider it pretty vanilla to be able to sustain piano chords with the left hand and and then play unsustained lead lines with the right.

In most respects, real-time-controller-wise, the DX7 II seemed more flexible, even though undoubtedly the SY's synth engine is much more capable.

(Also posted to reddit, since the community is still a lot larger, but I'm willing to give lemmy a chance ...)

I know that for decades now, hard disks don't really reveal their actual internal geometry (which is complicated anyway, since inner cylinders may have fewer sectors than outer cylinders, etc.), and present fictional geometries to satisfy legacy software, but I found it weird anyway.

I have a ZFS raidz2 NAS which originally consisted of 8x2 TB SAS disks and is now in the process of being live-upgraded to 8x4 TB (change disks one by one, resilver, change, resilver, etc ...)

I now have four of the disks replaced, and in NetBSD they all report different geometries. They all report the exact same number of total blocks, so it's not actually an issue, but still strange.

Two of them are IBM-branded (although they are in fact all Seagate Constellation ES.3), so I might expect slight differences, but even those with the same branding and the same revision present different geometries.

Anyway, probably just a curiosity, it will be interesting to find what the remaining four disks will show.

I might add that the older 2 TB disks (Seagate Constalleation ES, IBM-branded) all show the exact same geometry:

Hi,

for a couple of days, now, shop.jeppesen.com (directly linked from jeppesen.com) has been down. The first days it showed a banner that it was "down due to technical issues", but since yesterday it just shows a banner saying "Jeppesen. A Boeing Company".

Is anyone else here able to reach the shop?

Is there any information about why, and how long this is going to last?

I'm quite seriously confused and bewildered that the market leader for aeronautical charts could just "close shop" like that. The only thing I could imagine that would take so long is an attack where data could have been modified, including backups, requiring manual validation of all data.

I have two Dell T320 servers, which work great. But I'd like to have some more CPU power, so think about upgrading to the T420. It is almost the same, except that on the T420 main board, which seems to be otherwise the identical PCB, the second CPU socket is actually installed. (In the T320 it's just empty soldering points.) My question is: Is the air baffle the same, or do I need a new one if I swap out the main board? I am aware that I will need a second CPU heatsink.

Thanks.

A four-part series of the interview with one of the greatest test pilots, D. P. Davies, conducted in 1992 for the Royal Aeronautical Society. Almost five hours of avgeek gold. (The other three parts should be listed at the bottom.)

D. P. Davies is also the author of the seminal work about flying large airliners, "Handling the Big Jets".

Although less well known, he is undoubtedly on the same level as Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover.

The level of expertise and adventure, combined with the British humour and understatement, makes this immensely enjoyable to listen to, despite the less-than-perfect audio quality.

1. Und 27. August 2023.

Kann selbst leider nicht da sein, aber es wird bestimmt großartig mit Kunstflug, Modellflug, Fallschirmsprung, etc.

I finished editing the video of our aerodrome festival on August 12 and 13 this year. Enjoy and comment!

Ein kurzes Video unseres Flugtags in Porta Westfalica EDVY. Gerne kommentieren und fragen.

Davon flogen so viele so tief, dass der Schnappschuss nach nur ein paar Versuchen passte.

Leider war ich nicht selbst mit dem Flugzeug da, sondern nur kurz zum Kaffeetrinken und zugucken. Aber wie immer nette Gespräche mit anderen Piloten, unter anderem mit dem Eigentümer der kleinen Morane, ein Typ, den ich auch ein paar Jahre geflogen bin.

Außerdem der Versuch, peertube etwas populärer zu machen, den youtube-"Ersatz" im Fediversum.

Nachdem ich die Ankündigung schon vor ein paar Tagen gepostet hatte, gibt es jetzt den offiziellen Flyer.

For anyone in the region, there are two days of exhibition, sightseeing flights for the public, aerobatic displays and information about the local clubs, food&drink, RC model planes and more.

Location is the public airfield Porta Westfalica EDVY near Hannover.

Moin,

ich versuche auf der Garmin-Website gerade rauszufinden, ob es für das G3X Touch DFS Visual Operations Charts gibt. Explizit steht das nirgendwo. Es gibt die ICAO VFR Charts (enroute), und Garmin "Flite Chart" Instrumentananflugkarten und "Jeppesen View" für die Jeppesen-Karten, aber DFS VFR-Anflugkarten?

Ich hab alle unserere Geräte registriert, und sehe auch alle Angebote zu den einzelnen Datenbanken und Bundles, sehe aber nichts zu den VFR-Karten (außer wie gesagt enroute ICAO-Charts).

Hat jemand hier auch eine G3X Touch-Installation und nutzt solche Karten auf dem Gerät, oder weiß, ob's die gibt? Das wäre hilfreich zu wissen. Ich hab derweil auch schon direkt bei Garmin angefragt.

We have several phones in our family, and all connect just fine, but not the 8T. Two of the working phones are OnePlus 6T on the same LineageOS version. Are there known problems specifically with the 8T?

The phone charges fine when connected to the car, but the car does not recognize an android auto-capable phone. With the other phones, the AA icon appears instantly on the car screen, but nothing happens with the 8T. We upgraded to the latest lineageos build and tried different cables but no change.

The car is a 2019 Peugeot 5008 II, if that matters.

Die von SkyDemon aufgezeichnete Flugroute unseres gestrigen Aus-Flugs von Porta Westfalica nach Rendsburg/Schachtholm. Der voll gekoppelte Autopilot GFC 500, vom Flugplan im G3X Touch gesteuert, zieht die Bahn wie mit dem Lineal gezogen.

Ich fliege auf Rundflügen total gern selbst, aber auf Streckenflügen, wo auch das Ankommen wichtig ist, erleichtert ein guter Autopilot die Sache, und es bleibt mehr Zeit die Landschaft zu genießen. Immer ein Ohr am Funk, und regelmäßiger Blick auf die Instrumente bleiben selbstverständlich.

Fliegt ihr lieber von Hand, oder mit Autopilot, oder seid ihr wie ich in der Gruppe "kommt drauf an"?

Ein Rundflug mit einer jungen Familie, die Omas Haus, ihr neues Zuhause und ihren Liebliengs-Ausflugs-See mal von oben sehen wollten.

Diesmal nur ein kleiner Zweisitzer, aber dafür in erreichbarer Nähe von meinem Arbeitsplatz (der weit weg ist von meinem Wohnort), so dass ich mit meinen Kollegen die Welt von oben bewundern kann. Vorige Woche habe ich zusammen mit dem Charter-Checkout auch gleich meine Auffrischungsschulung zur Verlängerung der SEP(land)-Klassenberechtigung durchgeführt.

Ich fang mal mit unserem Schulflugzeug an, einer Piper PA-28-161 "Cadet", hier im Endanflug. Die Cadet ist eine "Zwischen"-Variante des PA-28 Basismodells "Cherokee", mit dem neueren sich verjüngenden Flügel und dem altem Rumpf mit nur zwei Fenstern pro Seite, angetrieben von einem 160 PS-Lycoming O-320. Es hat den "Steig"-Propeller für gute Startleistung auf Kosten von ein paar Knoten Reisegeschwindigkeit.

Antwortet direkt hier, oder macht einen eigenen Post auf.

Many news apps also have this issue: when I follow links for some time, basically surf the fediverse, it is awkward to return "home": you have to traverse your entire journey backwards. It would be nice to have the taskbar at the bottom all the time, maybe configurable or with auto-hide. Or maybe I am missing something.

Other than that, very impressed so far! 👍 Great work!

According to EU regulation 1178/2011, the only condition is that you have at least 12 takeoffs and landing and 12 hours (of which 6 as PIC) and one hour total flight time ("block time") of "refresher training" within the last 12 months before the end of the validity of the single-engine piston and/or touring motor glider class ratings.

As far as I can tell, the one hour of refresher training doesn't even have to be one contiguous flight, but can be spread out over multiple flights.

Only a proficiency check (i. e. checkride with official examiner, which is required if you don't have the prerequisite flight time) needs to be performed within the last 3 months before expiry.
