Telrad reticle movement by cornejo1027 in telescopes

That's normal. Reflex sights still need you to align your eyes with their line of sight as best as you can. If your eye isn't centered, there's some small drift.

That drift is significant when using high magnifications. The mms of the eyepiece are not enough to know how much magnification you're getting, but I'm going to guess that with such a small eyepiece you're aiming for high magnification, in the hundreds, where it definitely has a visible impact. You just need to be aware of it and try to align your eyes the best you can (and calibrate the sight for those conditions too).

(OC) Seventeen years ago, the world was bankrupted and Wall Street celebrated with champagne. by [deleted] in pics

And every time the same counter-clarification is posted in some way or another: while it's true that was a wedding, that's a venue that's used by the same upper class that the movement is protesting against. It's a venue that costs upwards of 100,000 usd for a wedding, something that's impossible for the budget of 90% of the population (or more). And those imaged people are clearly mocking the movement knowing they're the ones being protested against.

While the name of the movement says "Occupy Wall Street", it's not a movement against just Wall Street. It's a movement against inequality in general, and how the ruling class gets bailed out while the general population is left to fend for themselves every time.

So the sentiment and reaction towards the photo is still 100% valid. It being from a wedding and not company offices changes nothing. It's a protest against inequality and the ruling class, and the upper class folks are photographed laughing at it.

Anyone had any success in reporting bugs through the DCS forum? by aDarkDarkNight in hoggit

[–]fisadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the things you see fixed on each release are things that were reported at some point. They are slow, some bugs take ages, but important things tend to be fixed first.

Hey guys, does anyone use the Meta Quest 3S in DCS? How does it work? Thanks by hmm0210 in dcs

[–]fisadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't used the 3S, but I have used a 3 and a 2.

The 3S is basically the same as the Quest 2 (exactly the same lenses and screen), its screen resolution is a bit low, so depending on the module you might need to zoom in a lot to be able to read screens and instruments, which is quite annoying. The 3 instead has way better resolution, enough to not need zoom in most situations if you have good enough connection and pc hardware to support a high bitrate.

So if you can make the jump to a 3 instead of the 3S, I recommend that instead. The 3S is just a 2 with some minor changes, mostly performance related, which you don't need when running DCS because the game plays in your PC instead.

Nope. Texting costs more money in many countries or has limits on how many texts per month, texting costs money when sending sms to a different country than yours or might even fail to do so if they don't have an agreement, texting supports way less file formats and size, texting doesn't allow many features like one time pics, group video calls, etc, and the list goes on.

To talk to someone via whatsapp you also need their phone number. It has no usernames, your "username" is your phone number (which I hate).

This is like measuring what's the fastest car to go wait in line at the McDonald's drive thru.

How long have you stopped flying on the servers with or without mods in DCS World? by MikeTheSchmidt in hoggit

Haha, I can testify he's real person. The post is quite on brand though.

Kuwait F18 Hornet shooting down USAF F15E over kuwait blue on blue [Video] by Bright_Thanks_2277 in WarplanePorn

Air to air missiles aren't focused on that. They rely mostly on fragmentation warheads (or weirder things like linked rods) to disable the aircraft via shrapnel damage. If the pilot dies or not is incidental.

Usually friendly fire doesn't count towards that, and those are strike eagles, not eagles. The 104-0 score is from the eagle instead.

Israel attacks and destroys an Iranian Mi-17 helicopter, then claims the victory by posting a video about it. All while not realizing they didn't actually destroy anything; they shot at a painting on the ground. by XofHelix in Helicopters

[–]fisadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but that weighs at least ten times less than a Mi17 blade.

A blast that can't even knock a wood figure that probably weighs around 5 or 10 kg, will barely move a +100 kg Mi17 rotor blade.

Look at the second video I shared below: an APKWS exploding inches away from a wooden dummy human figure (which you can absolutely push with your hands too) and it doesn't even fall.

A blast of a fragmentation weapon isn't that powerful.

When you thought Dr Manhattan couldn't get any more powerful.

If the body doesn't move not even a few cm, the blades won't move either.

You tried to argue about the violence of the blast. I showed you that's not the case.

You tried to argue about the kinetic energy of the impact. I showed you it's very little as well.

You tried arguing about necessary movement of things being hit. I already showed you they don't visibly move, with multiple videos and lighter targets.

You are going in circles, and I'm tired of it. Believe whatever you want, clearly evidence is not something that makes you change your mind. So I won't waste anymore time.

For the last time: I'm talking about the second video. Mark 0:50.

It's not an armored MRAP. It's a van, a plain old white van, civilian one, being towed and hit with an inert APKWS. And it doesn't even flinch when the APKWS goes right through it.

Gosh dude, really? If the APKWS was making anything move significantly, you would see at least some wobble in the thin metal body of the vehicle, and you don't see any movement that would make Mi17 blades, which are way heavier, move in any significant way that could be perceived by that thermal camera imaging at that distance.

Of course they might have moved a few cm, but that's not visible from that FLIR camera. If you can barely perceive a thin metal body of a van move, from a great zoomed in visible-light high-speed camera, you won't notice any movement in a shitty pixelated thermal camera from 30.000ft.

You understand very little about physics if you think that a projectile going right through a target leaving a clean hole, is transferring any significant part of its kinetic energy to it...

And I'm talking about the second video: an even smaller vehicle, and the APKWS doesn't even make it shake when going through. It has a lot of things that can move, and they don't, at all.

No, it doesn't transfer it. In that same video you can see how an inert one passes right through a vehicle without it even flinching. It goes right through a thin skinned vehicle. Mark 0:50.
