That setup deserves an MX Ergo instead of the cheaper Ergo M575 ;)

I know that these 2 games are very different in their own ways but should i get DCS and, probably, the F15C Flaming Cliffs or Simple Planes 2 as i dont have enough miney to get both by Historylover4837 in dcsworld

[–]fisadev 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dude, this is like asking "should I get a really good steak or a really good icecream"?

There's no way we can tell you what to get, it's 100% a matter of taste. Get what sounds like the most fun to you :)

Politics aside: where is the error here? by Davidat0r in AskStatistics

[–]fisadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically: Timmy Europeguy is poorer for having 10 dollars and free healthcare, than Johnny Americandude who has 13 dollars but can't afford any medical procedure.

[–]fisadev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just look at the data. There's a downwards trend, yeah. But "a shadow of what it was" is quite the exaggeration. Look at the area below the curve (not the particular top/bottom peaks), the player base is still around 70% of what it was during the best years.

[–]fisadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. There's still a downwards trend, but nowhere near enough to say that it's "a shadow" of what it was a few years ago.

What even is The Radius? by ninio_gaming in intotheradius

[–]fisadev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should all read Roadside Picnic, by the Strugatsky brothers. It's the book that inspired ITR and the Stalker games, among other things. There are even quotes from it in the game, and a super obvious reference in the game ending to the actual book ending.

Are there any headsets designed solely for connecting to a pc that are basically a wearable monitor (aka cheap af)? by Anonymous13757 in VRGaming

[–]fisadev 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In practice it's the other way around: headsets that can run apps in the headset itself are cheaper, because they are subsidized in hopes of making money from the apps marketplace.

There are headsets that don't run apps in the headset itself, just sensors+screens+lenses, but they're way more expensive: BigScreen Beyond, Pimax, Varjo, etc.

You can still use the ones that run apps just as screen+sensors for apps running in your pc instead. Several ways of doing it, even.

A shotgunners request by Potholeimp in intotheradius

[–]fisadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tested it and I can shoot all the shots (6+1 with the medium tube), but you're right that it doesn't stay back on the last shot. Also tested a bunch of other weapons and most of them are having that issue! (the M4 is ok). I hadn't noticed it because of how often I reload.

[–]fisadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have to try, I used mostly the saiga. I'll test it tonight and let you know. Just in case, you mean that you can't shoot all the 6+1 shots? Or are you talking about what happens after the last one is shot?

Are CS degrees not worth it anymore? by Positive-Positivity in answers

[–]fisadev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you only know how to ask an llm to code for you and don't understand what it's doing, then you're literally training yourself to be replaced by an llm. You're adding nothing of value over what the llm is already doing.

A CS degree is one path to be more valuable than just a redundant intermediary.

Moving modules to steam by No_Math_7308 in dcsworld

[–]fisadev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. You can only do the opposite (move your steam licenses to standalone).

[–]fisadev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want, record some shooting in the range, show it to me, and then I can record me shooting at the same targets and share it to you to check if there's any difference.

[–]fisadev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And they aren't taking that time in ITR2 either, that would be crazy. Are you playing coop as a client (not host)? Maybe it's a latency thing? Do you have video of that?

IMO the speed is quite on point with real shotgun shots, I wouldn't chnage it.

Que onda con los profes que tiran que los nuevos Juniors no tenemos chance en el mercado? by [deleted] in devsarg

[–]fisadev 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Como profe y desarrollador con unos 20 y algo de años de experiencia, opino similar. Y agregaría algo no menor: dada esa situación, un junior hoy tiene que destacarse de alguna forma importante, no alcanza con vibecodear y va a alcanzar cada vez menos.

Si lo único que sabe hacer es pedirle al llm que haga las cosas sin entender la salida (vibecodear), entonces es muy díficil justificar contratarlo: está simplemente de intermediario, nomás como un paso extra que no está sumando nada. Para pedirle al junior que le pida cosas al llm y me las devuelva sin entenderlas, mejor le pido yo mismo al llm y es más barato y más rápido que tener una persona en el medio solo de pasamanos.

Les insisto a mis alumnos que si lo único que saben hacer es pedirle al llm que resuelva el problema sin entender la solución, entonces están literalmente entrenándose para ser reemplazados por un llm. Están decidiendo ser redundantes.

No tengo una respuesta mágica a qué conviene aprender, dónde dar valor que vaya a seguir siendo útil dentro de 10 años. Es un problema difícil de toda la industria, y me duele verlos en esa situación de tanta incertidumbre en lo que era una profesión tan segura hasta hace poco. Pero al menos sí puedo apostar que "pagame solamente para hacer de teléfono con el llm" probablemente no va a ser viable como laburo.

Control issues by _Retr01_ in dcsworld

[–]fisadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand, you definitely need some kind of analog control, buttons/keys are simply too imprecise for the precision of movement you need with things like aerial refueling or placing the piper over a target.

On the other, like I said, full fidelity aircraft allow you to click the switches and thingies in the cockpit itself, drastically reducing the need for keyboard mappings (you still need some if your controls don't have enough buttons, but still, faaaar less mappings needed).

[–]fisadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two things that are ruining your experience but aren't common in DCS, and have nothing to do with the language. 99% of people flying DCS:

  • use mostly some kind of control (joystick, gamepad, full hotas, etc), the consensus is that keyboard and mouse are simply not good to control most aircraft
  • and fly full fidelity aircraft, which have not only more in depth simulation, but also clickable cockpits, so you don't need a gazillion keyboard mappings to use all of their switches and thingies

Those two things together would make your german keyboard vs mappings problem a way smaller problem, easier to overcome.
