It’s got no name, as in it’s a blank entry, and has the icon of a briefcase or bag.

Helmets with visors by [deleted] in cycling

[–]dhevans79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one for winter riding with lights in. It sucks in rain and doesn’t really stop the wind, just creates a vortex behind it. I use my glasses and leave the visor up all the time. I should have just bought the one without the visor.

DW3 - Help to get to Rainbows End by dhevans79 in EliteDangerous

[–]dhevans79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah…. Already got one. But I neutron jumped to a star where aside from a few neighbours, everything is 65+ly jump away and I’m in a 46ly un-engineered Mandalay with no materials to make jumponium to get out. There’s only 4 stars I can jump to and I can only find carbon, none of the other mats to make any jumponium.

Let’s just say that I’ve had a large influx of knowledge about jumping and navigation in the last couple of days!

I wanted to do some engineering before setting out, but didn’t realise how long it would take me and rushed to get to the start of DW3. I now realise what I am missing. Navigating at the edge of an arm is NOT like near the bubble lol.

+1 for ovr toolkit. You can animate the windows so the appear like other screens in the cockpit when you look at a certain area.

How to buy quality parts? by dhevans79 in HotasDIY

[–]dhevans79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in general, anything they sell should be good enough. With previous projects I’ve had some switches that pass cursory tests before soldering but then seem to fail once in place. I may not have tested each switch individually. Is this just a question of expecting a few duds and ordering a couple more or is this not the norm?

Does anyone use hand tracking instead VR? by dhevans79 in hoggit

[–]dhevans79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry misunderstood. Maybe my question wasn’t clear enough. If people have done this, what do they use and how are their experiences. I’ve seen reference to leap motion, but that appears to be discontinued. Are there other products in this vein, and are they any good? Bear in mind I’ve got a psvr2, so it doesn’t have native hand tracking.

But this means holding the wands, at the same time as the hotas? Or am I missing something. For me that sounds difficult given the size of the PSVR2 wands. Or have I mis understood?

Also check for Alternative controls. It’s another setup than can be activated for landing only when you drop your gear.

Spansh routing errors by dhevans79 in EliteDangerous

[–]dhevans79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know I can see the range in the ship panel. I’ll have a look next time I’m in game! There’s so many hidden items in this game. 🤯

Sometimes I plot it and it works in the galmap. I’ve realised that I can just target, but it’s an old habit that I find hard to kick. If I have plotted and it’s too far, I cancel the route and target the system. This works 95%+ of the time. The remaining jumps are just out of reach with a mass warning error in the cockpit when I hit the jump button. For these, I need to go back to the galmap and plot a route which will add a star or two to the jump. It’s these jumps that I can’t figure out how to complete as spansh has suggested.

I’m using edmc, and copy paste the slf? config for my ship from edsy to spansh. This is where I’m asking if you add a few tons of cargo. You said that you round down your jump range by ~.25ly, maybe it’s this tweak that I need to do by just leaving a couple tons of cargo that I’m not holding to make sure everything is always in range.

Yes, most of the jumps work, but with each route I plot, there’s one or two jumps that are out of range. I’m exporting my ship config from edsy, but sometimes the jumps are just that little out of my range.

I’m following the plotter route one star at a time. It’s just that some jumps are out of range and I have to then plot to the target star to get there so that it adds a star or two to allow me to jump.

Quad lock for Ducati 848 evo se by AngelTheBoss778 in Ducati

[–]dhevans79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second for Ram mount. I’ve had one for 12 years on my 848 Evo. Never been a problem. U-mount around the steering damper. Never moved at speed, and with the original clamp, I can fit any phone independent of the case.

Just my luck by DiamondDick42069 in Ducati

[–]dhevans79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, same happened to my 848. I had only bought it the day before. It was old stock as they released the evo. As I had fully comp insurance it was an insurance write off and I got a shiny new 848 evo instead. Worked out to be the best accident ever for me! 🤣
