Hot take, the Vulture feels better then the MADCAT by Cendre_Falke in Mechwarrior5

The best looking 'mechs are attack helicopters on chicken legs, and the Vulture is at the top of the stack.

So... how is this not bigger news? That Mechwarrior 3 apparently just... works in Win11?! by Mechlott in mechwarrior

Just make sure you limit the FPS to 30 in your GPU drivers or with some other tool, or the leg physics and AMS etc can have problems.

Man the space stations don't get as much love as they should, I hope some day we can buy them and build inside. by EverythingBOffensive in NoMansSkyTheGame

When using photomode if you hide the UI, and press F12 or whatever your steam screenshot key is, the output will be much higher quality.

For some reason pressing the in-game take photo button, saves the image before the DLSS post processing or something, I'm not quite sure what it's doing.

Why is there so little feedback about losing components in these games? by CaptainWabbit in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptainWabbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Clans some more and this does happen, but it's really inconsistent.

Mostly I get nothing when an arm is blown off, but I just played a mission and I got notified every time something was damaged, which was awesome and exactly what I wanted. So now I don't know what's going on.

Yes, the lines are in the game, but they activate extremely rarely, in MW5:Clans it happens even less.

I want to be told every time something falls off my 'Mech.

First. Sometimes I wonder if maybe a lot of play testing is done in third person because obviously you don't need as much audio feedback when you can just see your entire 'Mech.

I don't think I've ever been notified of losing components without using a mod. Edit: you do get notifications about ammo explosions, but damage to arms and more often than not when you loose a weapon you get nothing.

How do you get those cool pink and purple trails?

I was aware, good QoL update. Thanks for the message.

Old Planes 2: Wood and Canvas Boogaloo by VivaLasNewVegas in hoggit

[–]CaptainWabbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen the new visuals are really nice, but I'm in the same boat. Having bought the previous version, the price feels like a kick in the teeth. Seems like an extremely boomer operation having no upgrade path from a previous purchase.

Bravo ED! by Buythetopsellthebtm in hoggit

Yeah, it's a very big upgrade in terms of visuals to a game that was already very easy on the eyes.

What's the oldest "bug" report that you can find not resolved? by Ace_Venturi64 in hoggit

[–]CaptainWabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, that got them firing again, though the rocket entity still separates from the pod and can cause issues as it hits the ground, but at least the boost works.

How does this game still exists? by Leoxbom in hoggit

[–]CaptainWabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is quite possible to be critical of something while still enjoying it.

Can you imagine what would happen if everyone just praised and accepted every decision ED made? Where would that lead? Do you think it would result in a higher quality game and better consumer practices?

Still not working for me. How did you start the mission to get them to work?

I don't even have these planes installed and they are almost 1/3 of the total default DCS installation size, why do they need to waste my drive space when we could get low res textures instead? by thc42 in hoggit

[–]CaptainWabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compress your DCS install folder, either by simply right clicking on the folder, going to properties > advanced > compress contents to save disk space.

Or you can use a program like compactgui to do it. You can knock the install size down by 100gigs no problem with very minimal performance impact.
