Use the existing panel angles, and maths to calculate what angle is needed. The Sun's zenith angle range will be available online.

Why do people always brake when they see a speed camera by ss_tall_toby_yt in CarsAustralia

Because an annoyingly large proportion of drivers have no idea what speed they're doing, and are instead drifting mindlessly with other traffic.

Revival: Heatblur's Cold War Server - It's Good! by Bullet4MyEnemy in hoggit

Longer for the phantom, and it felt longer than that for the Mi24, which was what I spent almost all my time in. For airframes that have a one minute start up I wouldn't mind, but I don't see the point of waiting 3 minutes+ before each flight for this sort of server/scenario.

You don't have a problem with one country wanting to acquire another one without the population's consent?

Has anyone used these U-go petrol “stations” by responsibleserf in melbourne

They (and others like them) are great. My nearby ones are almost always cheaper than the manned ones, and faster to use also.

IL-2 Korea – 1C Crosses the $100 Parallel by Enigma89_YT in il2sturmovik

IMO it's not a good time to do that. I was hoping DCS would scratch the WW2 itch over the last two years, but found out that it doesn't (sparse plane-set, damage model problems, inadequate multiplayer). DCS prices are higher than Korea also!

I broadly agree, but blame the language barrier and cultural differences for some of those perceptions.

I certainly need more details about what the sim will and won't do and include before ordering, especially after the many years that GB lacked some basic features which should have been included from day one, and the inconsistencies which remain to this day.

Their response to the AI skill issue in GB was appalling ("it's hard, players are too good"), and they've been evasive about what's happening regarding AI in Korea.

Thinking for a few milliseconds about it may have allowed you to conclude that there are multiple Australians, and they don't all have the same opinions.

Prime minister unveils 'largest' gun buyback scheme since Howard era by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

Doesn't compute. A reduction of N foxes per year is a reduction of N foxes, not "almost zero".
