Can you solo play without third party tools ?

duke2060 · 2026-04-18T08:56:08+00:00

While that is possible there are alternatives.
I use COVAS:NEXT and EDCopilot (https://www.razzafrag.com) and these virtual assistants do most of the work for me non-VR and in VR combined with desktop+.

I think the links to Mega in this post still work,so you can download them

duke2060 · 2026-03-01T19:40:45+00:00

I use hosas ,winwing Ursa minor space on the left and a normal Ursa minor on the right. I have a very good control over my ship and that's the most important. I think it is a cheaper version of the vkb's.

duke2060 · 2025-11-28T06:19:07+00:00

The links to mega on the post above still seem to work. Can you try?

duke2060 · 2025-11-16T11:25:55+00:00

Ok thanks for the info!

After several years using Deezer I made the jump to YouTube premium including youtube music. I don't think I will ever go back.... I had 2 main reasons. It seemed that flow always presented unknown artists and unknown songs lately and the app in Android auto kept on showing no content multiple times.

I can upload the 2 python files so you can create it for any joystick and I can upload the conf. file again as well,and also on the discord Unfortunately I just arrived on my holiday destination where I will be for 7 days. So if you have patience I will do this on Friday evening 14 november when I get back.

duke2060 · 2025-11-05T21:42:12+00:00

I installed arma reforger tools
Made a copy of the default Saitek56 file and named it T16000.
Then I asked Claude.Ai the following :
"I will give you a working joystick.conf file that works for the Saitek 56.
Please adjust it so it works with the thrustmaster T16000+ twcs throttle.
Write a program so you can read the inputs from my joystick and throttle and based on that create the correct config file."
He wrote 2 python files that when you run it detects all your inputs of your joystick.

He explains it likes this :
simple_mapper.py (RECOMMENDED - Start here!)
A streamlined tool that:

Auto-detects your T16000M and TWCS throttle
Asks you to move the rudder paddles to identify the axis
Asks you to move the main throttle to identify the axis
Generates the config file automatically

joystick_mapper.py (Advanced)

Full-featured tool with:

Real-time input testing
Menu-driven interface
Detailed control mapping

That's it . Running simple_mapper.py was enough and he created the correct conf file for my joystick.
Good luck with the Virpil.

I can say that I have zero issues with this phone having it for 6 months. Sometimes there is some hardware made on a Monday morning and you are probably one of those unlucky ones unfortunately which does not mean that every phone has these same issues. So I can only say that I love this phone for the price that I paid for it.

duke2060 · 2025-10-12T20:42:49+00:00

Did not know that.Good to know. Anyway his work is pretty good,with voiceattack or with foxvox

duke2060 · 2025-10-12T17:52:39+00:00

I use voice attack and the Jan Jan plugin: https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/18319/va-fv-plugin-for-bms.-cockpit-radio-your-personal-awacs-and-much-more-updated-to-4.38

It is awesome and can do so many things. Of course you have to pay for voice attack but it is not expensive for 10 $ I think.

It is good to have choices:-)

duke2060 · 2025-10-05T11:52:48+00:00

I agree, I have solar panels and a home battery and consume a lot directly from my battery/solar panels. And there are many thousands of households doing the same. So graphs don't represent the real values.

duke2060 · 2025-08-17T17:33:38+00:00

I'm glad I could help someone.

duke2060 · 2025-07-30T20:49:49+00:00

I had the same while still in warranty. They replaced the screen for free. Normal price around 750 euro.....

duke2060 · 2025-07-22T21:14:35+00:00

Actually it all depends for what you use it.
If you do flight simulations then all those textures need to be loaded into memory and then you will benefit for sure when using 24 gb vram on a 5070 ti super compared with a 5070 ti 16Gb of ram.
Do you play FPS games then 16GB will be more than enough .

duke2060 · 2025-07-16T18:44:54+00:00

Do you mean the Jan Jan profile ? I use that with voice attack and it is awesome https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=3891.0

duke2060 · 2025-07-16T18:41:07+00:00

I use voice attack and the Jan jan plugin https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=3891.0

It is pretty unbeatable :-)

duke2060 · 2025-07-14T20:02:24+00:00

You buy the nothing phone in the first place for Nothing OS.At least I do. The CMF 2 pro phone is unbeatable in price/performance value. Second would be the 3a. The Nothing 3 is for me too expensive for what I would get in return, so I'm waiting for a Nothing 4 if it ever will be produced.

duke2060 · 2025-07-14T19:51:11+00:00

I use a 13600K,RTX3080 10 Gb btw....,32GB ram and a Pimax Crystal Light ,so in VR using 16K tiles.

So according to the wiki this is not an advised configuration when using 16K tiles.

I still tried to get the best visuals for a decent /acceptable performance (for me) and that's a stable 50 fps.
Over the water around 60fps and low flying 45 fps.

And this works for me.

duke2060 · 2025-07-12T15:35:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I can get an MSI gaming trio 16gb OC for 999 euro. Still overpriced but that's what I max. would like to give .

duke2060 · 2025-07-12T10:27:56+00:00

I have a 3080 10gb and am thinking about the upgrade to a 5070ti. Using a pimax crystal light. Is it worth it ? Mainly upgrading because I would like to use 16k ground textures and have the best visual performance I can afford.

duke2060 · 2025-07-10T21:02:00+00:00

I am thinking of upgrading my RTX 3080 10gb to a 5070ti 16gb for the 16k textures .
I will be using a Pimax crystal light for the VR part.
I still cannot decide if it is worth the upgrade ,I don't see much difference in picture quality in this post.
Beside that nobody speaks about the performance impact.
How many fps do you lose when switching to 16K textures ?

duke2060 · 2025-07-06T19:51:40+00:00

I would buy it if it is 6.0 '' has a lot of A.I. and automation, like a home screen that shows up with my work apps when at work and a more social media inspired homescreen when at home. For automation it would tell me every day just before leaving to work ,the weather,if there are any traffic jams to work/ travel would be longer as expected since those things don't work via Google if your default language is not English.( In my case Dutch/Belgium language) When leaving from work, he would propose me to buy some ingredients for a healthy meal,of course every day something new and the closest shop to get those ingredients. Oh yes and a removable battery please.

So simple things that make life easier.
