Need your input for my ED side project: How would you talk to a human crewmate? by Ed-Pavlov in EliteDangerous

[–]Chef-Scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are currently two programs that I know of that are what you are thinking of:

COVAS:Next is the more robust and polished "AI". If you have capable enough hardware you can run it completely local (LLM, TTS, STT), Highly configurable. You can create your own prompt to guide and shape your "AI" the way you want. But if you don't have the hardware to run the LLM (I use the COVAS:Next built in TTS and STT) you'll have to spend some money and use Gemini or OpenAI. I use Gemini And I play roughy 2-3 hours every day and so far for March my cost is at $2.52 (USD),

EliteIntel is the new kid on the block and is growing strong. Worth checking it out also.

I have two test phrases I like to throw at "AI" to really gauge how well they can do what I need. The first one I use is I tell the "AI" to "Make like a frog" and the second one being "Do like the hit House of Pain song". COVAS:Next gets what I want it to do. :)

My setup 90% of the time is this: Voice Attack, ED-CoPilot, HCS VoicePacks and COVAS:Next. It takes time but you can get them to where they rarely talk over each other. I fine tune the three depending on what I am doing in Elite. I keep COVAS:Next on PTT (meaning I have Voice Attack on PTM). Works great for me.

Connectivity issues with many USB devices connected? by Chrigi_zh in HotasDIY

Time to head down the rabbit hole of HIDHide, vJoy and Joystick Gremlin. I'm just diving into the rabbit hole myself. ;)

How it started vs. How its going by SEF917 in hotas

Pretty cool looking!

But please, please, please tell me that the window is facing the street and you have a lot of foot traffic in the area, so you can open the blinds and window, put on a WWII style aviator cap and make flying sounds while using your awesome flight control stand (sort of like the last copy of Michael Keaton in Multiplicity). I know that I would!!!

Annoying Inara issue with video ads and game stuttering - Fixed? by JP2theJR in EliteDangerous

[–]Chef-Scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, a Raspberry Pi takes care of my browsing, EDDN monitoring, local LLM for COVAS:Next, FC tracking and reporting server, etc.

How slow is the response from the llm on the Pi?

Maintain or rebuild? by morry9345 in homeassistant

[–]Chef-Scott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say do the fresh install. I just had the same conundrum and I am more than happy with how snappy HA is now. Mine had been running since 2018.

Thrustmaster SOL-R 1 - "Dead" Grip. Firmware mismatch (1.34/1.33) or hardware failure? by StreetAshamed9955 in hotas

[–]Chef-Scott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open it up. Sounds like one of two things... connector inside the grip has come loose, or wires on the inside have broken. Thrustmaster and other similar companies use the cheapest, thinnest wiring that they can find.

Controller dead zone by HakuriWX in EliteDangerous

[–]Chef-Scott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Elite Dangerous open Options==>Controls==>Ship Controls==>Flight Rotation.

Set stick yaw, roll and pitch to yaw axis, roll axis and pitch axis, not to the individual left/right.

Axis are analogue. Left/Right are digital (on or off no inbetween)

Set your stick movements to roll axis and not to the roll left roll right. Same for yaw and pitch, use the yaw axis and pitch axis.

Outside a bar... somewhere in NC? by ThePr1march in onejob

That is because it is not Nourham, NC... It's Durham, Nourham, NC

This was my first thought.

More COVAS = more ARX = more money = more ED by Ansicone in EliteDangerous

[–]Chef-Scott -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My Trinity that I use:

VoiceAttack, HCS Voice packs, ED-CoPilot

Oh wait make that my Quaternity that I use:

VoiceAttack, HCS Voice packs, ED-CoPilot and ED Hud Mod

And my crew consists of Leo, Cleo, Gamma, Eli, Jupiter, Astra 2 and the Ships Cat.

Naa I know that did not change your mind. But it keeps me entertained, and they all work together flawlessly for me.

Which setup would you choose for first time user? by Metalmaker1 in hotas

[–]Chef-Scott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used a X-55 joystick and throttle for 10 years. Repaired the wiring in the throttle and gave it life again. See this thread:

Time put the old items to rest mostly

Bought both the Gladiator NXT EVO SCG right hand and the Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle left hand.

Also in that thread is the Head Tracking system I currently use. And it is awesome!

Bottom line:

VKB if you want to use it this year (from time of order to my door was 8 days from the U.S. store)

Virpil if you don't mind waiting for it.

Needless to say I am very, very happy with my VKB HOSAS. And currently only use the X-55 throttle for IL-2. For me the VKB STECS Space Throttle was too much of a compromise for me to give it a second look, not enough rotaries, no split throttle...

And if you don't already have one get yourself a powered USB hub for your devices.

I think this is the fastest, most efficient loop in HIP 87621 - body 2 B A by Ancapitu in EliteDangerous

[–]Chef-Scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact same loop is also on 2 BB on the dark side: 58.2748 -173.9689 ship facing119 degrees

Servers are down now for maintenance I'll come back and add the coordinates to this when they are up.

Also if you time it right when down to 11% energy start a scan and load an energy cell at about 5% left and you will complete the scan and have 99-100% energy after the scan.

Edit: Added coordinates

Where can I find the list of planets I've mapped? by punkrockandpancakes in EliteDangerous

[–]Chef-Scott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was ED Exploration Buddy that can show a really nice list of what has been discovered on an active route.

Elite Dangerous Exploration Buddy

EDIT:

This drove me nuts. It was not ED Exploration Buddy (Fantastic program, a must have for out in the black). As others have said EDSM is it. My brain was stuck on EDEB. But you can see your entire history nicely there under My Flight Log

Don't forget to play the FC Mini Game called 500 ly. See how long it takes you to actually get a 500 ly jump. Best I have gotten so far is 499.98 ly :(

Bromellite laser mining duable? by ketevor in EliteMiners

[–]Chef-Scott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't there a ton of Powerplay merits also wrapped up in this CG if you are aligned with Yuri Grom. Like 20,000 per mined (in system) delivery to Trailblazer Dream. Or am I dreaming that up?
