Perfesser

This thread has been begging for it so .... I always strive to keep mine clean and dry too.

Yeah I'm just being an old fart. Discord works as well as TS without the crashes and it recognizes controller buttons for PTT.

China spyware You think there should be 15 updates every time you start it?

A Wing Walkers server session. 4 Dogz show up to suppress an airbase. Random fight but you can see the elements of a typical intercept. Spot the target. Lead pursuit till the target is in range. Pull in behind with a touch of lag pursuit, steady sights and shoot. https://youtu.be/_W8jA5-ZU8k

A basic intercept and one technique for an overshoot. https://youtu.be/d1oQ_0435KI

A quick video on the basics of closing the range and getting in position to shoot. https://youtu.be/_Rm1YDAnPCc

X-52 did some more strange things. I was only using the throttles but then they started acting up too. Did much comparing and decided to buy a VKB STECS https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/stecs-throttle-system-mini-plus Smooth, an impressive array of buttons and software even I can figure out. Expandable too

On this new PC I can't get the PTT button to register on any controller. I downloaded a simple program called AntiMicroX. You can do a lot but I only have the single key bound to a keystroke and it seems to work fine as PTT.

All done and running ..... mostly. It doesn't like some old USB devices, changing ports helped with the head tracking camera. And then the same ..change ports again and working again. Plus my X52 is acting up too... The cooling mods help, it runs .5 deg cooler with the case closed up. Air filter box below blends right in. I bought a display panel for inside the case(bottom left) to display temps etc but I'm having some trouble figuring out the display program. Final parts list. Hmm. The video card is listed here much more than the $879 that I paid for it only a few weeks ago.

On the new computer the plane spotting was not so great but since going through post 1 here they're much better. Pick up planes at 20k if I zoom in although the dots are pretty small. I copied the startup.cfg and renamed it as the original just in case before I started Oh yeah. I changed one thing. There's a section in the startup.cfg about max framerate. I assume a value of 0 is unlimited. I changed that to twice the refresh rate of my monitor (120 for me).

Almost there.... The GPU support they sent with the (4070Ti) card is a bit of a joke. I bought something off Amazon, installed it. Didn't like it. Modified it ... still not very good. I had some 2mm aluminum sheet so I made something solid. Final fit before paint.

Working on the new PC. Component list below using one of the GPU cards listed.

Added 2 USB-c ports to front of case from adapter card - M.2 nvme to 2 x USB-c Added 2 USB-3 ports to front of case from internal header block off plate for one fan port diverter - blow cool air directly to CPU cooler and motherboard made a stand/air filter box for below case to pre-filter incoming air. Hook & loop tape holds pre filter sheet to frame and case side panel

Sounds good. Will be careful.

If it was all servers I might think a compromised account but only one server?? Anyone?

Sounds great!

Last rookie pilot killed in a head-on. New pilot Dan Miles reporting

New pilot Myron Spityakov reporting for duty..

I think the DCS forum has the best section on modding/making controllers I've seen.

Name huh... drawing a blank... Attacked a rookie in a FW 190. Chased for a while and got a few hits. He dove and I got a few more hits and he bailed. 2 trucks killed on the objective

Fly the B-17

So I get up this morning and flip on Youtube and the first thing that pops up is a live feed of the Duxford airshow. I think I saw a Dogz t-shirt near the fire marshal's pickup truck

Chat bar missing for me too.

Not gonna show you the chair..... Heh, getting my chair to easily stay in the right place was the hardest thing to get right. The chains turned out to be the best way.

My low budget solution. Cheaper than a large monitor and my 1070 card runs it pretty well.

I made this a few years ago. Worth the watch if you can get the volume loud enough...
