Crash

Update due Monday/Tuesday

It was an interesting event and great to see so many Daks there, however the poor weather really spoiled the occasion for me. I did see a formation of 7 Daks as I waited to get in the airfield, but the rain and gusty conditions meant that there wasnt any parachute drops

Fine with me

Why thank you sir

And there is more 224 Dear friends, Today's Dev Blog is really short - we're working on finishing the update 3.101 full time. This update will be very huge, its change list consists of more than 70 points already. Be warned by the way - because of the critical amount of changes, the track and mission format will be changed, so if you have interesting tracks convert them to videos beforehand. If you're an author of a custom mission or campaign, be prepared to resave your creation after the release (it can be done quickly using 'Convert missions to binary in folder' in the Mission editor). So, we have a lot of work on our hands at the moment, but it's not very exciting to tell about it. However, we have an interesting thing we can show you today. The plan is to have the external textures of all Bodenplatte aircraft in 4K quality. This is possible thanks to new texturing techniques and the help from our community members =ICDP= and =BlackHellHound1=. For instance, today we can show you the Me 262 as you'll see it in the coming update - in all 4K glory. See the world combat debut of our Me-262 at FS Expo 2019 in Orlando, FL June 8-9 Booth #505. Jason will be there putting it through its paces with a 6DOF motion-sim by Gforcefactory and VR.

Due to the move to mainly VR games (so I dont need a large 4K monitor) and the photo programs now using Graphics card I have re arranged my man cave The main problem is to play 1946 or CloD I need to set up the small monitor to mirror the large one each itme I play. It isnt too much trouble so its not too bad.

The Science Museum is also very good as is the Natural History which is next door.

Duxford RAF museum Cosford & the London one in Hendon. HMS Belfast on the Thames. The weather is suposed to get better next week

Good for me

Friar and Funflak need GBS on Sundays. I would be able to DCS once a month on Thursdays

Thanks for the work Tom, as suspected GBS wins and then DCS. Maybe set up a once a month "1946 special" night to do the things that the others cant do. I am sure that with enough notice pilots will make an effort to attend thus keeping 1946 alive. The next step is to allocate the GBS and DCS nights, taking into account those who can only fly weekends.

Works for me. Besides carrier ops and high altitude bombing what else should/would we include on 1946 nights/

New vid

I will give this some thought.

That is the idea. The problem is to link the sticks like the gear selector in a car. As for the FFB effect I think (Hope) the game might apply the effect to the first FFB detected. Well it did in 46. I dont want to spend $1000 on that Brunner base https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220728

My sons Lego Teknik is also in the loft...mmmmm Gears and rods and stuff

So, in the loft I have a "modded" Sidewinder and I wondered if it could be coupled to the extension on my Warthog using a rod with rose joints. The X-52 handle on it wasnt the success I hoped it would be and now there is a 15mm stub sticking out of the base. I realise the throw on the sticks might be a bit different but I am sure I could use a spring to absorb any movement at the extream positions. I seem to remember seeing rods used on model helicopters am I right?

Cant be many left who havnt said what they would like. Are you coming back Sweper? Fen, when will we have the results?

Thanks for that

Downwind take off????

Users reaction Ladies and Gents, get set to have your immersion level go ballistic! Yes, I am Tester 1.. Yes, I broke the FCU housing. No, it wasn't the FCU's fault! lol The PointCTRL experience is AWESOME! Most of the items I have worked on are very minor and aren't related to the HMS and FCU build quality, tech, or operation. Mostly we have worked on how to get everyone to understand what to do, when, and how. Hence the instructions coming out and being added to. Once the correct operating environment is in place, calibrating and using PointCTRL is very simple. It, like anything, takes a bit of getting used to but it really is amazing. You are going to love it! One MAJOR thing we found is that you HAVE to have the "Use Mouse" box checked in the Settings VR tab. So if you are like me and used the cursor locked to the middle of your VR view, then looked at the switch you wanted to select, then pushed a mapped mouse button to select that item... well, not gonna be able/have to do that anymore. Yes, I found that out, hold your applause til the end, please! lol I have been using the Huey mainly as I get to know PointCTRL. Instead of mapping switches and dials, etc - Now, I reach up to the overhead panel and turn the lighting dial up or down just by twisting my hand. I can glance over at the rocket control panel on my extreme left side and adjust how many rockets to fire at once. Flipping switches that usually I would have to twist to look at before are done just like in real life. I fly Real Life helo's and can tell you, Miles' little gem makes it really FEEL real! Watching PointCTRL come to life and to the market has been very interesting. I know everyone is chomping at the bit. Well, it is coming NOW! It has REALLY been worth the wait, I promise!! you!!!
