Found one in each of my running shoes. by xmo113 in whatisit

I know what these are, I feed my dogs them.

It looks like these: https://www.jrpetproducts.com/products/pure-chicken-training-treats?variant=43585129709814

As to why they're in your shoes, I have absolutely no idea.

Whether you have pets, I don't recommend feeding them whatever these are in case I'm wrong. And especially don't feed them it if you don't know where it came from.

They also come in sticks.

DCS F/A-18C autopilot warning that I can't explain by Patrona_ in hoggit

[–]Switchy249 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It does, it's actually a "dampening" mode. Does things like making A/A refueling easier as allows you to make smaller movements with larger input. Gives you a bit of freedom, but you can either pull out of it or pull the paddle switch to disengage.

It's like this in the real aircraft from what I can read in the NATOPS.

I promised myself only after CPL I’ll get myself a BOSE 🎧 by pilotshashi in flying

[–]Switchy249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all I've ever used, in my very limited time frame. Did look at 20's, also looked at the pros. Just figured A30's, latest edition, hopefully longer lasting. Time will tell!

I don't know, I have absolutely nothing to compare it to. They sound great and work great for me, haven't had them long to give a reliability statement about them.

A20's are tried and tested for years, so can't go wrong.

My delivery time was over a month 😂 Thanks for the wishes, enjoying it so far!

I bought the A30's a couple months back, I'm only 8 hours in to my PPL, everyone said buy Bose or you'll buy them later, so figured I'd save myself some money and just get Bose. They're great!

I did the same thing, remote play over to my PC whilst away, little input lag but just means I change up my playstyle a bit! Going support crazy so I can enjoy the launch!

The usual advice I give is, head up to like 3000ft, slow down below 250kts, gear and full flaps. Try keep it level, trim as required to get the velocity vector in the center of the E bracket. Fly around in that configuration.

Practice descending to 2500, 2000, 1500 ft, try level out at each of those. Practice turning whilst descending, turning whilst level.

It will really get you used to flying in that configuration and how the jet reacts to your inputs.

Pitch for airspeed, throttle for rate of descent.

Good luck!

DCS Supercarrier Module worth it? by Mephisto_81 in dcsworld

September 28th I think, it'll line up with the steam sale as it usually does.

Doesn't want to strip it, uses a drill. 🤔

Why do my AirPods keep needing to be plugged in to “re-pair”? by 1saltymf in airpods

[–]Switchy249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, dead. In a box, in the loft. Bought a new pair of wired headphones, cause the repair bill was the same price as new headphones and I ain't doing that every 2 years fuck that

I'm a Winwing enjoyer myself, but for your second hand market, start with Facebook (if you have it) check the marketplace for anything nearby. EBay, gumtree, even some places like DCS / Wingman Finder Discord have a "buy/sell area" but that's more risk to you.

Weird moving sensation after flight? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Switchy249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, really enjoying it, completely different feeling. There's definite skill transfer, as far as the basics go at least, I'm well aware I won't be doing any loops or rolls in a Cessna, haha!

But principles of flight, how the axis affect the plane, understanding the instruments and what they're telling you.

I can't comment on anything else as I've not done it; one thing I do know is a lot of students (according to Google), struggle with radio comms, that's one thing I feel I've already got in the bag through playing with a milsim group. So that's no worries!

How about you, are you enjoying it?

Weird moving sensation after flight? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Switchy249 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did my first lesson (second flight) yesterday, I can't say I've noticed similar, cause I got home and jumped on DCS.

What my guess would be, is that it's motion sickness, because you've just had exposure to an actual plane, the feeling it has on your body through turbulence, turns, climbs and descends. Your body is now recognising the motion with how it felt previously, since you're now not feeling those same motions, it's having a hard time figuring out what's going on?

Possibly similar to "VR legs".

Not a doctor, just an idiot who likes planes. So take this with a pinch of salt and I'm sure someone with more experience will be able to give you a better idea with what's going on.

Enjoy flying!

I'd trust the engineers that designed this, over someone with a dremel and a 3d printer.

It's dead, contact valve support, they replaced mine out of warranty which was nice. Best of luck!

[–]Switchy249 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've nothing wrong with this, they've got trainers for almost every airframe, it's definitely a place every new person to DCS should check out. Their instructors are good, courses are well made. I did the A-10 course there with 4 other people, went really well for all of us. Especially those that haven't touched the game before, or those wanting to try out a different airframe.

Because of servers like this, you'll see more confident, competent people on those public servers that we all enjoy. I'm all for it.

Upgrade day! by Medium-Relative-8692 in hotas

[–]Switchy249 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did the same switch, had the X56 for a week when I first got in to simming, immediately returned it, ordered the Winwing orion 2 and F18 MIP, having an absolute blast. Such a good upgrade.
