That’s the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, right?

mephiska ,

yeah this is definitely the approach path for SFO.

It’s just politely letting the other plane go past, like a proper gentleplane…

Your render distance might be set too low, either turn it up or approach closer to see that plane move properly.

Yeah it looks like the plane was loaded, but its in the classic starfish pose as the animations haven’t loaded yet. I recommend updating your driver, or at least directing him to a better airport.

Hupf ,

Try unplugging it from the airport and plugging it back in.

phorq , to videos in Airplane that seems stuck in the air

That’s just because the shutter speed is matching up exactly with the flapping of its wings, like a metal hummingbird.

I needed that. Thank you :)

theKalash , to videos in Airplane that seems stuck in the air

Probably because it’s a fake airplane someone edited in there.

essteeyou ,

Oh, do you have the original video without the plane?

damirK ,

They forgot to add a shadow. Bridge casts a pretty strong shadow showing the sun almost straight up in the sky but nothing from the plane. I have seen smaller propeller planes balance out with wind speed but a jet would need quite the wind and the water is also not that stormy

llii ,

No. The shadow is on the left out of frame. Look at the shadow from the bridge.

The plane is also banked, it's turning.
This means as the camera moves around the plane we continue to see the plane from same angle - this adds to the illusion since it makes the plane look much further away.

damirK ,

To me it looks like the shadow from the bridge is a lot more vertical than would be needed to cast an airplane shadow off frame. To truly figure it out this would require tracking some points to find out where the plane actually is in relation and measuring its size against cars on the bridge. Way too much effort. Need Captain Disillusion

ShustOne ,

The sun is at an angle, check the bridge shadow again. It’s almost 45° from the bridge position. Makes sense we can’t see the plane shadow.

This is just parallax messing with our perspective. Scrub quickly and you’ll see it’s moving. It’s slower since it’s coming in for a landing at SFO.

llii ,

No, it’s because the camera moves around the plane with the right speed to keep it in the same spot as the background from the camera. You can still see that the plane moves, but it’s subtle.

Feel free to believe what you want.

It moves but still seems way too slow. Perhaps there’s a really strong headwind slowing it down?

MeatsOfRage ,

It’s probably coming in for a landing. I assume there’s an airport just past the river out of frame.

essteeyou ,

There is, it’s San Francisco airport, and that’s the bay.

Serinus ,

The plane does cross the bridge.

LostXOR ,

I agree. The plane is moving, but the camera's movement and the relative speeds of the two planes makes it harder to see. If you scrub quickly through the video it's easier to see it moving forwards and downwards.

I’m assuming that, in this case, Russian air force history started in the 1990s

There where no Russia as it is today before December 1991, no matter what soveebs try to imply

Doesn't matter to Toyota one bit.

Their initial sale isn't to the middle east or in any way driven by the middle eastern market and tends to be completely done on the merit of the vehicle.

The trucks in the middle east are almost all second hand to the level some people were horrified and surprised when the vehicle they sold in the US, still bearing their logos and name, showed up in videos of insurgents and straight up terrorists in the Middle East.

ShrimpsIsBugs ,

You’re forgetting all the free advertising when your cars show up in the news all the time /s

Ilovethebomb ,

That does help the resale value though, which has a knock on effect to sales.

Here’s the story about the Texas City plumber whose Toyota truck was used by ISIS for those that haven’t read it

Holy shit thanks for the laugh

kameecoding ,

did he win that? why didn’t he just remove the decals himself?

bizarrocullen ,

The dealer advised him not to remove it because it might ruin the paint, and he won the lawsuit

overat8 , (edited )

The article doesn’t mention whether or not he won the lawsuit. Where did you get the info on him winning the case?

Edit: I found the article - He won an undisclosed sum of money

Almost as lazy as the guy who didn’t bother to read the article, amithe?

think you need to edit your comment mate, “almost as lazy” as an opener only works if I had called him lazy.

Well you never see new trucks, only ever like 90s Hiluxes. So really it’s Bob’s Used Cars who’s licking their lips

There’s a lot of 70 series cruisers, which look older than they are because Toyota has been making them for thirty years straight at this point.

IHaveTwoCows , (edited )

Small and midsize trucks like the HiLux, S-10, and Ranger are illegal to build in the US due to CAFE standards.

And that PISSES ME OFF

HenriVolney ,

What are CAFE standards?
