So basically strap a Raspberry Pi in an F-35 and we're all out of a job...

The greatest part are all the desktop warriors coming (sts) out of the woodworks saying those a-hole fighter pilots will no longer be needed because some ABM guy got out sim'd by the sim.

Or an O-6, who hasn't flown in years, and sucked when he retired anyway.  Lets be honest, most O-6's are lucky to find the gear handle.

I'm trying to "+1" this more.

Ability to do it and willing to do it are what separates fighter pilots from the rest of the paste eaters.  I can train a monkey, I can't teach you how not to be a pu$$y.

Great sentiment, and I get it, but WTF is a "paste eater?"

[FishBowl]

There is a lot of misinformation here. Ignorance on the writer's part or exaggerated tales from the retired ABM.

So this "retired fighter pilot" guy isn't even a pilot??  Pretty much destroys the credibility of the entire story.

Most true sir, most true.  Provided the music keeps playing on the Walkman,reel-to-reel, phone app, whatever... he's freaking unbeatable. But remember what happened when the music stopped?  Nothing worse than having to come home not only without a kill, but adding insult to injury; "Code 3 iPod INOP..."

We can take it easy knowing that he is an Air War College grad with real air control operations experience sometime in the late 90s. Clearly he is the best of the best.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be "AI beats simulated fighter pilot in simulated air combat"?

Pretty easy when it's 1s and 0s and the computer can see precise energy states at every given moment.  Let's see your super bot do it in a real jet, in real 1v1.  Show me that computer/camera/sensor setup go 1.0 Pk and I'll be impressed.

Especially in an EA environment with weather
