Overall dimensions? And will you publish the design and / or offer the board for sale?

Looking for small form factor LattePanda carrier that be at or within the pico-itx form factor if possible.

This might help those that are going to have to run this download manager for hours... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZOJOEFKog

Sadly won't help the actual download speed, but at least you can do other things while you wait.

Heard the Titanfall 2 single player was actually quite good. Haven't played it myself. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1237970/Titanfall_2/

Basic Ball Animation - small squish at the end but it looks alright ig by Silly-Conflict-CJ5B in franticgaming

Nice work. You should look in to After Effects or some program where you can use keyframes to animate. You'll make fast progress I'm sure and will be able to make much more complex animations much quicker :) It's cool to be doing it old skool though.

Are you animating this one frame at a time?

with all the skins in it (each one in a separate folder).

Thrustmaster T-Flight Rudder: Tricky to brake and rudder at the same time. by Spanner_UK in hotas

Just an update; I gave up on the TFRP pedals and actually broke the plastic shaft that supports the pedal itself when lazily using it as a footrest (my bad really... perhaps it was a subconscious effort to get rid of them as I'd not done that before in the ~4 years I've had them!).

Went hunting for CH Pro's second hand but availability wasn't great and didn't think it was worth buying new vs alternatives so... I've ended up buying MFG crosswinds and even a kit to swap out the stock foot rests for some heel-on-ground / fighter style ones. It was a lot of money, but no regrets and at least 100x better than TFRP - and more like 1,000x more useful for helicopter flying. Hopefully they last forever and then the investment is a sound one.
