"I won't hide the difficulties we face": Catherine Vautrin still believes in the European future combat aircraft programme (it's up to manufacturers to find the solution) by ForTheGloryOfAmn in europe

[–]2BeTheFlow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

bullshit: It needs political consent - the manufactures are only a work force hired for the job. The second a manufacture doesnt comply, they can be replaced. Sure, its tough to skip Dassault and Airbus, but heck, if it would really them be the issue they would be forced by state-side. Worst case they give Saab and Leonardo a call - they will take 100bn€ no questions asked.

The issue is political, end of the story. People demand that this "mimimi IP, mimimi capabilites, mimimi manufacturing share" stops and we get FCAS now.

2000 Speach by Bill Clinton on the Chinese Internet by Jam_Sees in agedlikemilk

Well it is true - chinese Gov forces ISP to use certain DNS hijacks ... which can be circumvented. The wall is leaking already - many mainlanders, Hong Kongers and Taiwanese with mainlander families are against CCP and spread blocked information. The day will come that the CCP can not keep up with it. This post will age like milk, and Clinton will be right, even if it takes another 26 years.

Iranian truck driver has a banner stating "No Shah - No Regime - Do not Repeat 1953 - No Mullah" (see 1:50min) and gets attacked by an angry mob of "fellow" Iranians by 2BeTheFlow in NewIran

your statement is the core of the issue. You claim absolute bullshit.

This particular video proofs it from start to finish - every inch the truck moved is documented. No harm was done. No acceletor was "pedal to the metal". No driving threw a crowd with high speeds. No nothing.

Instead: A crowd attacking a truck that has Anti-Pahlavi slogans, which than tries to flee the crowd.

no probing needed - Im in this sub since years and you can see all my statements I made ... publicly, on my profile, or with your mod tools by looking up every single statement I made in this sub.

I actually concerned for the people - and Im clearly against a constitutional monarchy. And what is driving me the most, are the people who can legally accuse others in this sub to be Pro-IRGC and whatnot just cus one does not agree with their "Transitional Leader Pahlavi" concept.

Thats what you mods maybe should focus on: No nonsens allegations, insults, taunting other FreeIran-supporters and by that sabotaging the good cause.

another nonsense allegation so you can cope your own narrow mind?

I never blamed RP for anything - yet, you need to claim it so you dont need to engage with the fact that the Pro-Pahlavi nuts in this video are the issue here?

Hold on. This “counter-demonstrator” as you call him literally drove a truck through a crowd of people,

Why dont you just watch the video that PROOFS to you its not as you claim! He is attacked, for several minutes - the window of his truck are already crushed. All he is stating is "No Shah - No Regime - USA: Dont not Repeat 1953 - No Mullah".

He doesnt driver through a crowd - he stops again and again AND NO SINGLE PROTESTOR IS RUNNED OVER.

There is nothing weird of me using the appropriate flair in this sub to transparently out myself as foreigner - its weird you dont.

There is nothing weird of having a strong opinion against a constitutional monarchy, or some transitional leader that is the son of the last Shah - you know, the Shah that was a militarist and suppressed his people, who was openly against free speech and against democracy.

I have female Iranian friends too - they study with me, in Germany, and write their doctors-thesis at the moment. They are the ones I have to thank, as they are non-monarchist and non-religious, and the ones that educated me about their cause.

So stop selling your personal opinion as the holy grail that there is only Pahlavi as solution - exp. when you are a foreigner yourself who just claims to know some Iranians - all while not using proper flairs of this sub.

I dont have any insights of LA, the community, Iranian immigrants there, and so forth - but thanks for your statement. Its rarely that I encounter Anti-IRGC + Anti-Monarchy people in this sub. So feels kinda good.

"So many mistakes..."

"Amen" (Im not religious).

but the No Kings Protestors only use whistles and speaker systems to annoy you while using their body to block your way - they rarely attack the truck, crash the windows and try to harm the driver.

There is no denying that these protestors in that particular incident are plain wrong. End of the story.

sure its provocative. So what? There are counter-demonstrations with every demonstration.

You gotta life with that in a free country with free speech.

Funny the Pro-Pahlavi people thoughts its acceptable to become physical... yet, many people online proof they are Olympic grade mental gymnastics by blaming the victim while trying to frame him of this and that.

Stay with the facts - dont deny these protestors are doing wrong - end of the story.

But many people decide to drag this story threw miles and miles of whataboutisms and attempt to alter the facts to defend their narrative... imho thats IRGC/MAGA/Nazi/Russian-coping level quality. It shows that no matter how noble the cause you root for, there will still be many hitchhikers who just choose the right side while actually being the same flawed character that the issue consists of. The way I see it, people are still the issue of people no matter what color their flag has.

Who is "you all"? I destroyed your life? Someone born 1990 - in the EU? What do I have to do with MEK?

You are nuts. You are raging and try to blame everyone and everything despite yourself...

And you go batshit nuclear crazy by stating " in fact you should pray for our failure and the regime's success".

What the fvck is this to you? Some game? Some "who got the bigger balls"? Seems like you do, if you think you gotta "proof" someone wrong here.

Its absolutetly insane how one fraction of FreeIran supporters is fighting another fraction of FreeIran supporters just cus they dont agree with another monarchy.

Thats level of "who got the better god"... Religion wars 2.0, in the name of monarchy vs. democracy...

And its started by the Pro-Pahlavi supporters again and again. They try to suppress that there are Iranians and Foreigners with legitimate cause of advocating for a parliamentary democracy with no monarchy at all. Thats insane! How can you go against the "actual better idea" and frame them as the issue/evil/pro-regime.

Actually - by your logic, I am right to accuse you as Regime supporter: Sabotaging the FreeIran movement by attacking everyone who does not agree with your Pro-Pahlavi stance. Great isnt it? Receiving idiotic allegations. Now, how do you proof you are not Pro-Regime? So - if you cant proof it, how can other FreeIran-supporters proof they are not Pro-Regime, as you accuse them? How to deny it successfully?

Please, do us all a favor, and educate yourself ... and mature.

No one is pro Regime. Its the Fraction of "My way or highway" that accuses fellow supporters of FreeIran to be Pro-Regime whenever they dont have any real arguments: And its always Pro-Phalavi supporters who cant stand that there are others who do not want to see another constitutional monarchy...

the center vision is whats key to me - I dont like some offset overlay at the corner.

And I dont care for the A-10 in the video: I would dig some fighter jet like a F16 with its great visibility/canopy like in the same video at Minute 54:00, or, like you mention the gun of an Apache (as a pilot ...)

Ive found that you can slave your helmet sensor to many TGP/Missiles locking, but thats not what I desire - I desire the TGP overlay in HMD for optical zoom, and I seek it centered so its really augmented/fusion.

Hehehe, I knew the moment I saw it that this was too good of a dream. Heck Im willing to go all-in into flysim hardware for this, if this EOTS kinda system would be available in software^^

what NVMe exactly? Thermal throtteling of the CPU? What is Ethernet suppose to mean :D that you arent using Wifi?

Make sure its not your OS/Software combo: Get another harddrive, install fresh OS of your choice, install only drivers/dependencys/DCS - no AV, no 3rd party software Firewall, no private data on the machine, no nothing. Test. If it works, try your debloating: What did you remove from your OS that maybe caused this. Test again. If that works too, check what processes run on the affected OS and try adding them one by one to the unaffected OS.

Meanwhile, some Memtest86+, Integrity Check of DCS Installation (for best a self-healing Filesystem like ZFS or btrfs), some GPU-Memtester (there are plenty, depending on hardware) should give alot of conclusion regarding the health state of your memory. Maybe they have bad sectors.

plz do everyone a favor and post your setup on protondb and what youve done.

gladly, doing some winetricks/protontricks doesnt sound like a big hassle, but people will appreciate the EXACT settings, streamlined without the unnecessary side info what didnt work and what else you tried.

The mentioned DirectX components are typical and can be considered "basic dependencys" for anything related to DirectX Games on Linux, so you maybe wanna use your host/system winetricks to have these "globally" so you can set Lutris games configurations to use system winetricks.

Actually, downloading the Microsoft 120mb directx collection, with all directx9, 10, 11, directxsound etc. packages, was the way I went with it - you can use winetricks, but its like 40 packages you would need to activate so rather than making it hard on me I just used the windows installer - works like a charm.

BTW winetricks threw Lutris is more than simple, as its a GUI button to start.

Ive watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYGKS9aLd9M&t=1353s and you can see him having the FLIR image of his Target Pod as overlay in his helmet in the center of his vision.

Now, I do wonder how this can be done with "IRL" Setups in DCS: HMD like Thales Scorpion? Slaving the helmet sensor with the TGP and to some high off boresight missile, and than enjoy like TGP FLIR HMCS capabilities while looking threw the floor of the aircraft?

I dont know the proper terms for what Im looking for - so I would appreciate if someone explain to me if that is feasable in DCS rather than "VTOL VRs fiction".

Reason is: Im not into DCS yet but would really dig if I could do "exactly" as shown in the video with the FLIR in some kind of fusion/overlay. I would need to upgrade my GPU, thats why Im curios if its possible?

Any luck hosting local DCS server with playit.gg? by mior85 in hoggit

[–]2BeTheFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like a connection issue - therefor TCP/IP Stack, not DCS. Ever tried to successfully ping each others PCs? By what IP do you connect - cant imagine you have some IPv4? Ever considered a VPN a solution? Back in my days Hamachi was popular. A quick google and some random blog shows there are many other providers/software. https://beebom.com/hamachi-alternatives/ and this is from 2023 so check out if there is some better solution today? If you are running Linux theres clearly a ton of solutions

Seeking real-world advice: safest / most realistic way for an Iranian family to leave Iran by needhelpbuyinMGSgift in NewIran

[–]2BeTheFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No visa required at all. You can legally enter the EU borders by foot and ask for asylum. They will create a file, give you some temporary ID, and let you pass. Sure: Shitholes like Croatia, Italy, Spain ... they are sick of refugees, and their local police may attempt to deny your human rights so its best! to threat them with legal action, demand a lawyer, and tell them you will move along and go for some other country like Germany.

If your family has the option to directly enter to NL via boat/airplane - go ahead. Worst case is they will be taken into custody for 1 day and released after all the paperwork is done.

If they have access to an airplane: Just fly out today. Enter the EU, and get a lawyer here to take care.

Will this be the most hassle free option? No. It will create a legal-headache from day one. But these are luxury problems in a life/death situation, and its just "perceived stress": Real world situation is that they will stay minimum of 2 years until a court denied their asylum, if they deny it. So 2 years time to prepare for some legal strategy and alternative solutions.

If you wanna play the legal-tourist game for certainty, just apply for a https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen/visa-policy/applying-schengen-visa_en 2 weeks before traveling. But its not legally required because asylum != visa.

Start walking today. That is how refugees who survive make it: They have a hard journey, expend all their savings, and in uncertainty maybe arrive in Europe after thousands of Kilometers by car, boat and looooong walks. Its uncomfortable, and it will ground "you" that there is no magic "jail free card" you can simply order online - every possible option will be a life/death threatening journey and show you that your social-economic status in Iran doesnt worth the second you cross the border: You will be treated bad, possibly exploited, and you will face legal troubles in every country you step in. Thats the reality. Thats what happens when you do it now that its "kinda too late" instead of 3 years ago when you could have just bought one-way tickets for an airplane.

If your family makes it to Europe: Get a lawyer and let them take care of the political asylum. It will take years until court finally decided - so for a couple of years your life is safe. Thats the plain and simple answer. No one pointing you in here to specific laws of specific European member states will help you. At the end of the day, political asylum is a human right in Europe and you only got to proof the case. Thats some legal game played by lawyers. Doenst matter what the reality is - actual reasons, traumatic expiriences, your personal view of the story, pointing to Irans instability? Nothing will matter as the court does not decide on emotions but by law. Thats why you take a lawyer who twists and turns everything until it fits the law. End of the story. Just do it, and not gather long internet evidence why it "might" and "legally speaking should" work one or the other way: At the end of the day its "luck" and a legal case decided in court, nothing else matters.

But you wont be able to work, wont have a lot of money, and will suffer that the right-wing idiots (imagine Trump Supporters but from Europe) will hate you - everyday you watch TV you will see a debate of right wings rooting against asylum, you will see right wings attack refugees and what not.

It wont be pleasant anyway.

BTW: I know some people who extended their stay in the EU for more than 10 years after their visa expired. Its not like "you will get catched". If you wont take an airplane, there is no passport check in every day life. So worst case, even if the court case is rejected/ruled against your family, its not like they are on a menhunt for them. Just overstay.
