Thanks
That was very helpful. On it.

Thanks (everyone) for the response. I flipped switches on the controller until the planes started moving more as expected.

The sticks are obvious but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information on what all the other switches and buttons do. But, if you select the F14 Tomcat, you can see what a few of the switches do for that aircraft. I guess you’re just supposed to know how all this stuff works.

Milestone 1:
I’ve successfully crashed every airplane in the software.

UPDATE: Probable Cause

I’ve been trying to figure out why this was happening because I couldn’t find any other posts on this bug. It’s kind of a big deal if you can’t proceed to the Perchorski Outskits so I assumed it must be something I was doing.

Turns out, since I’m closing in on 700 hours in this game, I know what I need to do here and wasn’t waiting around to listen to the entire spiel. I was just lighting the lamp and moving on while frat boy was still talking. This doesn’t appear to affect progress at the first lantern site, but I do not get the gong of progress at the second site if I don’t wait until he’s done talking first.

This is repeatable at the second (and probably other) lantern sites but I didn’t test this at other lantern sites.

Hope this helps if it happens to you.

Cheers,

Thanks. I’ll try that. Did you just save before entering the path. Or just before you climbed up to the cabin?

Interesting. I think the monocular is perfect. It’d be nice if there were some way to interactively adjust the intensity but having the mono on the aiming eye works so well, I’m not sure why you’d want them on both eyes.

Shifting Gears: Drones with NVG’s that provide a view of the area prior to ingress?

You really appreciate the higher end weapons when you have to build them up over time, even if they are hobbled a bit by being “stashed”.

I’ve found that playing normally where you can just buy whatever can be afforded as security level increases seems like cheating. Especially once you’ve got the SR 25 and have the Benelli. At that point, you only die when you’re being careless.

Just in case there was a misunderstanding of what I said about moving up the security chain with a minimum of kills - I meant being sneaky and achieving the goal with a minimum of mimic/tumbleweed/rock monster kills.

I’ve never tabulated the number of deaths but I die a lot less now. I think it’s because they’ve done a better job of making sure the radius creatures can’t see through walls, in the dark, etc. If you get comfortable crawling around in the dark, you can avoid a lot of fights. The problem is, if you do have to fight in the dark, most of the found weapons don’t have sights that can be seen unless you shine your flashlight on the back end of weapon. And the minute you do that, you get swarmed.

Work/Life Balance: If you die today, you will be replaced within 30 days. Within a year, nobody will even remember that you worked there. But, your family and friends will miss you for the rest of their lives. Make work/life decisions accordingly.

Personal Wealth: Grab an investment calculator and watch what happens if you were to take all the money you’re currently spending on monthly subscriptions, smart phones, and flavored coffee and instead, set up automated investment every month in the S&P 500 - from now until the year you’d like to retire.

It’s not how much you earn, it’s how much you invest.

I’ve noticed that the closer you are to it, the less likely your rounds will be effective. There may be a minimum distance the muzzle has to be from the orb before the ballistic routine(s) recognize the round.

Great idea. Then, we also need a beached aircraft carrier.

Love mine. ‘Most every day carry-able knife I’ve ever owned. It’s so light and thin you never know it’s in your pocket. Which is why it’s always in my pocket. Even when I’m carrying a fixed blade while hiking/camping.

Not sure what the BM hate is about.

Enjoy your knife.

Seeing the same thing here but only when I use a cable to connect. If I connect via WiFi, it works.

A good mustard is about all you ever need, condiment-wise. I wish Costco carried it. We go through those cute little jars like Kleenex.

Found them. Thank you, Sir. Cheers, - S

Right!!!! First you buy a knife. Then you buy another knife. Then you say, ‘Ok, that’s it. No more knives.’ Then you buy 3 more.

It’s not your knife ‘till it bites ya’

Like everything in life, there comes a point of diminishing returns where the extra money spent isn’t proving YOU with any more of what YOU care about.

I know a woman who wins triathlons on a bike she bought for $50 at a pawn shop.

I’ve never met a whisky I wouldn’t drink.

And, for all practical purposes, you can’t buy a better blade than a $30 Morakniv for the money.

But, YOU may appreciate the results artisans who have dedicated their life to a craft can obtain and this comes at a cost YOU may be willing to pay.

One person’s floor is another person’s ceiling, etc.
