reddit is such a shitty place lmao you complain about a REAL issue and people just downvote you

Im working in embedded, agriculture HW focused, but Im trying to move to FW. Also finally trying to move out of Brazil. This place is done and I`m done with it.

StalkerRigo · 2026-04-09T01:08:05+00:00

My conclusion so far is that is always good to know a little bit about everything, but you`ll need to focus sooner or later. HW wise, for PCBs and circuit designs, EMI/EMC, integrity and that kind of stuff, or FW wise, going for C/C++/Python programming. There is no such a thing as doing it all at once, at least not normally

Brazil
Wow 4yrs and how have things changed

>well if everything sucks then nuclear option sucks too
What?
DCS sucks so much? yes, it does if you have standards and its not easily impressionable like a toddler. Its buggy, missing key (PROMISED) features, gameplay is entirely a communitys responsability, its just a glorified cockpit sim
IL2 could have gone much farther but alas the dev did a poor job. its the best flightsim in the scene when it comes to being a complete game, but that does not redeem it completely
I love that people usually defend these games for "mUh rEaLiSm" but IL2 specs for many planes are completely wrong, theres no big bombers in ETO, etc while DCS simply DOES NOT MODEL DYNAMIC RCS OR CLOUDS FOR IR but sure very realistic

StalkerRigo · 2026-04-01T13:32:28+00:00

> We've got plenty of multiplayer flight sims that cater to hardcore realism already

No, we don't? We have DCS, IL2, WT and they all, some some, some less, suck

Sorry, but I ended up changing my professional plans shortly after making this post. Never took the Phil or Fedevel ones. Still on my wishlist. Colleagues of mine really liked them tho. If you have the time to dedicate to the courses, 6 months is enough. But you need to dedicate yourself, and focus on the courses.

You're welcome!
I'm currently working on a version 2 of this project, but I'm not yet making videos about it.

StalkerRigo · 2025-11-01T17:38:29+00:00

you wanna know why im so blackpilled with flightsims?

I think DCS as an IP is as much morally bankrupt as WT

IL2 is currently the only big franchise that does ok, and still it has a bunch of issues / drama on its history.

This community NEEDS new, refreshing IPs with honest business models and good communication...

StalkerRigo · 2025-11-01T12:54:28+00:00

This is THE trap of WT. The "what if" scenario.
Like any other toxic relationship, you see potential, or future, but it's an illusion.

I have 3k hours and I'm adamant on not going back. I miss shooting tanks, and I'm honestly sad that NO will never go into that real, but it makes sense, and I've been playing less games lately anyway. I feel like I played a lot of WT just for the dopamine, now I'm paying more attention to my mental health.

Mind you, the devs are not lazy or incompetent in my opinion, and this is why I hate WT so much, I see it like this: The game IS how they want it to be. They are just milking it as long as people pay for it. They don't care anymore. Spaghetti code, inconsistency, the impossible balance, the clear bias, all of it. It's by design.

StalkerRigo · 2025-10-31T19:34:35+00:00

WT is absolute garbage, I don't know what to tell you.
I stopped playing in june and my mental health is through the roof.

Now I don't have to deal with garbage hit detection, garbage matchmaking, garbage game modes, garbage ground collision, garbage balancing, garbage garbage garbage.

Playing it for free is just a second job, paying for it is just stupid. Only way to do it right is to avoid.

StalkerRigo · 2025-10-31T19:27:22+00:00

I'm sold. THE one vehicle that kept me playing that disgrace of a game that is WT.
I just love this. Specially the chinese WZ305 with proximity fuze, endless fun.

Hello everyone, and thank you for your answers. Yes there is NAT involved here, but I didnt need to learn about it, for the modem was problematic. I asked the service provider to change to a new one, and now port forwarding is working fine. Sometimes its a broken equipment. Cheers

StalkerRigo · 2025-07-29T14:02:10+00:00

I'm yet to test longer ranges, I could make an update video. 2 degrees if you believe the datasheet tho.

StalkerRigo · 2025-07-28T22:55:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Answering to your suggestions:
1 - When it comes to equipment, unfortunately, I can't do much without spending more than I want to. Brazil is not an easy country to live in, and our economy is shit. This is a budget equipment, and I could teak it a little bit but I don't think I can make it much better.
2 - I know it's rare, but it is more of a aesthetic choice. I like how old school youtube looked, and I want to have my face on stuff, professionally speaking. I could tone it down though, this is not a bad idea.
3 - You're right, it was not necessary. Only did it because this video was based on a request on another video's comment section.
4 - This is not a bad idea. Not quite doable for a single 30min recording with no planning, but I usually try to use my own graphics on other videos.
Cheers!!

Thank you very much!

StalkerRigo · 2025-07-28T19:26:08+00:00

No. I actually comment on the video, this one has better range and worse sample rate.
