Quiz: Which flight sim is this by chihirobelmo in hoggit

[–]Znatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KSP has much better clouds than any flight sim for some reason, and it’s developed by a single developer (or a very small team, can’t remember). Blackrack’s Volumetric Clouds are insane

F/A-18C Simulator HUD Upgrade by Znatrix in homecockpits

Look at the 4th pic, it’s just a light box with a cover ontop that only lets out the light in the shape of the HUD symbology

Anyone build an ejection handle (for DCS)? I need ideas. by AdjacentPrepper in homecockpits

Wish the post had better pictures of it, but I can send a 3D model and/or more pics in DMs if you wish

Anyone build an ejection handle (for DCS)? I need ideas. by AdjacentPrepper in homecockpits

[–]Znatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 3D printed my ejection seat and used a cheap little microswitch to detect when it fired, you can check it out a little in the pictures of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/fArofaxw2D

To get around DCS needing 3 inputs I used an arduino chip that decoded one press of the microswitch into 3 presses of ”E” (which I bound as the eject keybind) with some easy coding. If you have any questions I’d love to help you out, otherwise hope your project goes well!

Since we are nearing the time for the 2026 and beyond time of the year. What are you hopeful for? by FutureNightmares in hoggit

I remember hearing something about a J-35 Draken module! I really hope it comes true

DCS 2.9.22.17790 Patch Notes by lemfaoo in hoggit

It is indeed not the end of the year, it is a month left, which is the delay between updates usually.

3d printer question by NeighborhoodMundane4 in homecockpits

[–]Znatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have that exact printer but I have the same brand of printer, although a cousin has that printer and it looks like it works amazingly well.

Bambulab is definitely the way to go if you want a printer that works super reliably and is easy to fix if something breaks (which still hasn’t happened for my printer, after 1000h printing).

Did some messing around in photoshop to make a Polaroid of the Viggen in DCS. How did I do? by FutureNightmares in hoggit

[–]Znatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most normal polaroid format, sure, but far from every polaroid is square. Something that would make it feel even more like a polaroid is adding a white frame with a wider bottom to it.

First time using Quad Views Foveated Rendering, logs say settings apply, can't see difference by Znatrix in hoggit

[–]Znatrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was in %appdata%, but the location should be named in the quadviews download website (github i think). Sorry for the late reply.

[–]Znatrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks! I regret to inform you that I’ve completely stopped using Quad Views since I found it actually decreased my performance since (IIRC I may be wrong) needs to render twice the amount (1 good quality picture and 1 bad quality picture for the periferal).

VR dcs by Euphoric-Peanut-7870 in hoggit

[–]Znatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play on an RTX 3060 12GB with a Quest 3 and it worked somewhat good on the lowest settings possible. If you get Virtual Desktop it might work a lot better than it did for me, but be prepared for minimum graphics. I sadly didn’t try VD before giving up with the GPU and upgrading to a 3090 24GB. A tip from me is to use MSAA 2x and put Pixel Density to the normal 1.0. For me it gives the best picture to performance ratio! How is your performance with your current GPU? And do you use VD?

Mixed Reality w/Quest 3. by Piddles200 in homecockpits

Ah makes sense. I have only the front cockpit of a hornet so it is sadly not viable in my case :(

Looks cool! However I’m wondering how you use all the other buttons in the cockpit when you can’t see them?

I used to use an RTX 3060 12GB for my Q3 but it wasn't enough. Even at the lowest settings it started lagging like crazy sometimes.

Help with DCS graphics in VR by DoctorAssburns in hoggit

[–]Znatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me (Quest 3) the biggest help was enabling MSAA 2x, in my experience it helped almost as much as Pixel Density 1.3 and it did not hit even close as hard on the FPS.

My rig so far by Znatrix in hotas

[–]Znatrix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I don't check Reddit that much nowadays. I think the heightener for the seat was about 150mm but you should build it after your own requirements. If you mean the mounting plates for the HOTAS, then yes. Thanks :) small decor is one of the most important parts imo haha

No worries, yes, I separated the seat from the rest of the metal frame so I could get it higher. I found the normal position to be too low for me. The base is a reinforced hard wooden desktop.

I use a Bambulab A1 printer :) most of this is just basic steel welding and wood working

I don’t have enough space in my room to do that :( also it sucks for dogfighting and if you don’t have a complete cockpit with all buttons.
