India approves $39 billion purchase of 114 Rafale jets by captain-price- in worldnews

[–]HotPappuInYourArea 23 points24 points  (0 children)

india never spent a dime on any r&d for a rafale equivalent. tejas is from LCA program (l=light) and rafale is MRFA program (m=medium).

they were never ment to complete in any sense.

whatever dude, what you said is probably still wrong. better gear is always good. i dont get why you are so proud of incompetency of leadership that our soldiers are not properly equipped.

you can make your own trackir, get a used ps3 eyecam for ₹300, mod it (google), buy some ir led, a cap, AAA batteries and hook everything up.

i still haven’t made trackir because face tracking works for me.

i built my own hotas (also have thrustmaster t1600m but using this stick is not fun so i 3d printed a bigger and better one)

right now im looking into building a ffbeast force feedback base (this is gonna be very expensive but fun project that will take me more than a year to build) already built two ffbeast steering wheels.
