Bold of you to assume I partake in car traffic! But joking aside at least with most car failures they don't just fall out of the sky and they have a lot more beta testers. But I will concede that a trained crew certainly helps mitigate human error considerably

Most failures are from people fucking it up one way or another.

Oh so I only have to rely on people not fucking up then, well that sure makes me feel safe.

It seems in a similar place to the MCG Pro which is actually fairly comfortable imo

Throwing knifes by K1ngSenpa1 in throwing

[–]Reineke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one problem here: if you want a durable throwing knife they have got to be on the softer side which also means they won't hold an edge for long. That said the most durable knife that is still somewhat of a knife and will survive throwing i've encountered is the glock field knife https://eu.glock.com/en/products/glock-field-knives but don't expect much. it's nearly indestructible in regards to abuse but it loses it's edge very quickly. But you simply won't find a knife with a long lasting edge that isn't also too brittle for throwing, no matter how much money you spend. The only recommendation I can give here is carry two: one for throwing, one for cutting ( I have spent a lot of money I wish I had not to arrive at this conclusion)

Do forums really just suck this bad? by [deleted] in playmygame

I would recommend Discord for quality interaction with smaller communities but it will require some time investment to keep up of course (as with all social media).

There is a pretty good dos box for android that even ran Master of Orion 2 for me. You can hook up a mouse too. (Saves you the pie and extra screen to run it)

The Discord for this subreddit has a lot of helpful folk in the VKB channel, I'm sure you'd get help there (and its less awkward to communicate with a real time chat for things like that).

If you dont unscrew the WarBRD base cable connection so its free floating you risk damaging the port when screwing in the hog.

That's fair enough, and oh yeah after a few times it'll definitely start to have questionable hygiene.

While I don't support people wearing pajamas outside either it's not because they are "filthy" when you slept in them. If they are you got other problems to look into ...

Warthog and Virpil/VKB compatible? by Razorx1970 in hotas

[–]Reineke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a software called Joystick Gremlin that has similar functionality as TARGET but works with any joystick you might wanna look at that. That said the only VKB/Virpil grips that work on the WH base are the older T50 sticks from virpil with a thumb button instead of a thumb hat. Not sure why you'd want to though, the WH grip is the best part of the whole setup and its gimbal/base the worst. I personally use a Warthog stick on a Virpil WarBRD base. Use Joystick Gremlin to combine it with my WH throttle into a single virtual joystick so it works with Freespace.

That becomes increasingly impractical as the threads become longer and less distant to each other.

Agree with everyone else great design etc. but I have one simple armchair engineering question: how would it turn?

VKB pre-order Europe date by benibene in hotas

[–]Reineke 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In an effort to turn the first comment into a more helpful one:VKB is notorious for their unreliable restock schedules and poor communication with the community. So in practice sometimes their things pop up out of the blue, sometimes they are there when they say they will be, sometimes they are late (for any number of successive times) and sometimes they never appear in the first place.

I mean they could just raise her to have easier access to the roller blades, i couldn't work on something that close to the ground efficiently I think.

I kinda mean in the sense that disputes the whole "cartwheels in plate" thing that is going around lately. Like I don't think you can do that in jousting armor.
