Training Day

[ugyuuya]

[1]

[Due to an increasing number of mixed operations (and in part to satisfy general pilot curiosity) the TSF detachment has scheduled a training event for other UG personnel to familiarize themselves with TSF piloting at their own pace. Unable to provide the full simulator support onsite at a UG location the event is scheduled to take place at the Yokohama training base.

The day is split between use of the simulators in the morning to instill the basics and more advanced maneuvers in the Fubuki training TSFs using a modified dual seat cockpit allowing members of the Argos flight to take control in case of emergency.]

[2] - Semi-locked to Raquel

[Tarisa is suited up in her TSF suit minus the HUD interface waiting for Raquel to meet for the arranged spar the two had decided upon after discussing her last run in with the Shura. Looking up as the door opens the look of excitement and anticipation on her face is obvious.]

Certainly took long enough for our schedules to match up for this, wouldn't you agree?

Comments

What are you guys talking about?

[At the same time, Izuru tries to execute the famous spin-and-shoot maneuver. Only without the shooting.]

[majestic_keiki]

[Kei responds to Yuuya over the private line as well.]

Leos, I can understand, but Izuru isn't that useless. He's performed well in battles until now.

[ugyuuya]

Typically yes I'd agree with that but he can get a little, enthusiastic, at times and it seems like he and Leos tend to feed off of each other when it comes down to it. They have both improved so really was just a bug in their ear to keep caution in mind.

[Yuuya returns to the normal channel.]

Alright seems like aside from a few mistakes at the start you guys are starting to get the basic movements down and even a few of the tricks for simple ground based boost techniques. You guys ready to test some boost jumps on that section of the course?

[majestic_keiki]

That fits Leos, but Izuru has never acted like an idiot in battle and he does have four years of military academy experience.

[herodrawing]

Heey! Why are you so quiet?

[Izuru is doing, fittingly enough, small rabbit hops with his TSF. Someone's being really careful with the boost there.]

[majestic_keiki]

Nothing, just getting used to piloting the TSF. [And true to her word, she returned to focusing her attention on proper, controlled and somewhat conservative use of the simulator. At least she seemed to be getting the hang of it.]

[cloningblues]

People are quiet when they focus on something. Like piloting.

[After he got used to the controls Asagi's recklessness kicks in, and he starts doing long jumps and complex maneuvers. Hopefully nothing gets in his way!]

[ugyuuya]

Looking good everyone, be careful approaching the uneven terrain, the auto-landing protocols will lock out your controls if the landing isn't moderated well.

It's something that rookie Eishi find to be a fatal flaw in the system as it stands now until they learn to adjust for it in advance.

[herodrawing]

[Izuru's TSF skills are incapable of speeds other than slow and FULL BOOST AHEAD. His virtual unit starts soaring into the skies, carried by the thruster's full power.]

Auto landing protocols?

[ugyuuya]

If the unit lands off-balance it will automatically right itself. This is typically a good thing because crashing face first because of a bad landing is pretty bad but it also uses the whole frame to do so leaving the input locked for another action like shooting or dodging.

Pilots traditionally learn over time how to minimize those interruptions but even now with the Shiranui Second I sometimes have issues in training because of that.
