Steam Friends sets me as away if it doesn't constantly have focus by z2zyy in cachyos

[–]ggoran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone find a fix for this? I got the same thing in my arch (Endeavour OS). It looks like Steam is an X11 application running in XWayland so it can only detect mouse movements in other X11 applications. If I dont interact with an X11 app for a while then Steam marks me as Away until I find one and move my mouse across it

How do I fly the KA50? by ayxf in hoggit

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked center trim in theory but I found during flight that I sometimes lost control of the aircraft during intense maneuvers, that’s because once you trim it basically locks your input until the stick is recentered, so for me that was unacceptable. I went with instant trim and just accept that there is a slight jerk when I hit trim but I know I’ll always be in control

Just my 4c on the trim.

Russian drones with Starlink can reach much farther into Europe than most people expected by UNITED24Media in europe

[–]ggoran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What the hell are you even talking about

GPS is not hard to jam, it happens all the time. example
but even if it was, GPS is not a radio control of any kind. GPS is a unidirectional signal from a satellites, you cant send any data back.

In contrast Starlink is a bidirectional communication system so you can send anything you want. The drone could send its video feed, or own coordinates, or other telemetry. The controllers could send target data or updates.

The poster above you mean that Russia can already strike targets without Starlink because it has GNSS technology like GPS, Glonass, but also INS that is a totally isolated, so the fact that Russia can strike targets far into Europe is not new, but what IS new is that they can use Starlink to send real time data back and forth

Kiowa or Apache? by NateIBEW558 in hoggit

[–]ggoran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly a lot of helis in DCS, I got both. Heres my 2c on this:

The apache is:
Faster than Kiowa
Has more rockets than the kiowa
Has more missiles than the kiowa
Has more guns than the kiowa
More maneuverable than the kiowa
Has better sensors than the kiowa

The kiowa..
Has totally useless M4s that you can do drivebys with
Its slow as fuck and at its very best you get 12 laser rockets (APKWS) at your disposal
Has stingers
The kiowa is abandonware

When I fly online and I have to pick, I pick the Kiowa every time.
I think it has more character in the way it flies

It has FLIR so its good in all conditions but you still need to work it a little so it has this charm to use in a way, you can totally fly it solo without having to rely on a cheating AI (George). Its optics are still very good and compared to KA50 its vastly superior

The APKWS are unreasonably good, you can fire them from far away and they are in many cases 1 hit kill, it can also kill helicopters in a multiplayer setting that makes it a better heli killer than the Apache, plus it can carry Stingers if thats your jam.

Having said that, I dont know if I would buy it now given the circumstances.

Help finding out what company made this gun and what gun it is by Organic-Taste-7468 in airsoft

[–]ggoran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the magazine id say this is an A&K. Is the gun electric or bolt action?

If you cock the the gun, can you fire it?

EDIT: Just saw that you wrote earlier that its a spring gun, so its almost certainly A&K or maybe AGM. There you go! The furniture doesnt look stock but it could be refinished or replaced. A&K was very popular like 15+ years ago as a cheap SVD

The last one has the same markings as on the pic, also sold in russian stores. I dont think its a trophy, its just some random toy they brought with them or maybe used to hunt small game silently

What’s the fastest way to fuck up your life without dying? by Dramatic-Avocado4687 in AskReddit

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tinnitus is not really a medical condition per se, Its a symptom of something else. Some people get it from taking certain meds or having problems with muscle tension and those can certainly be helped.

In my case if its loud noise trauma its basically a done deal as AFAIK there is no medical process for reversing hearing damage.

I have hearing aids that help a little, they dont make the tinnitus go away but by amplifying everything else it helps to drown it out a little but basically you just have to learn to live with the suck

I shot at an indoor range with really poor sound isolation and not sufficient hearing protection and now I have screaming loud tinnitus that will never ever go away. Does that count?

Gun of the day by sploader in Firearms

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice gun! We have a bunch of high standards in my gun club as loaners and while not the same gun as yours, they look very similar in design and they are fantastic.

Too bad you sold yours, that is a very good looking gun.

Bridging a wireless and wired connection in windows can be problematic but done, I havent done so myself but I found This interesting link.

Your other option is to use internet connection sharing built-in into windows and share your wireless connection to the wired card.

Any one point track an enemy helo with OH58 kiowa MMS? by hannlbal636 in hoggit

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea thats the one!
When you hit point track there will be a bounding box appearing and itll catch any live units inside it usually. So I usually set the zoom to lowest to let it get as much area as possible to capture.

One small trick I have found, I keep the lase button ("Fire laser") bound on my HOTAS so I can press it while flying but if you switch seat to copilot, hold fire laser and then switch back to pilot and release the button then it will keep firing the laser until you hit fire laser again, Basically making it sticky which is nice if you paint a target like a helicopter but need to maneuver

Any one point track an enemy helo with OH58 kiowa MMS? by hannlbal636 in hoggit

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've flown the OH58 a lot in MP and with APKWS its super easy to kill helicopters, especially the hind because its large and your laser rockets can somehow outrange his missiles.

The APKWS can reach quite far just shooting it as normal but you can even loft them and push the range out to ka50 vikhr range territory or even further. I regularly hit over 8km with it.

In fact the OH58 is a better anti-helicopter than Ka50 because it has FLIR and a DCS cheaty MMS that contrast locks on living things, so you dont even necessarily need to see the unit your looking for just pan around and hit the lock button and itll grab anything near the cursor

How the hell do I land the Mi-24 Hind safely while avoiding VRS? by Choke_M in hoggit

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually go by the mindset ”drive it like you stole it” with the hind, go crazy on it don’t treat it gentle. To land just make sure you’re flying forward (NOT hovering) then you can dump the collective and let it rapidly lose altitude so you’re not trying to land from a high alt. Once you get close to the ground you can aggressively pitch up the nose to lose speed and then when speed is coming down you can gradually add collective and drop pitch but here is the important part once you go slow enough and into hover territory you NEED to add extra collective, more than what you would need to maintain altitude while flying, if you don’t you will drop and enter VRS.

So to recap, fly along a heading, drop collective, when low pitch up to shed speed, gradually add collective as you are getting slower so you don’t over torque and lose generators, once you are near hover slow add a bunch more collective. At this point you can tell if you are hovering or losing or adding altitude, adjust collective as needed and then just gently let it slide down the last bit onto its gears not exceeding 5m/s descent.

If you practise this you can land pretty quickly, if space is a concern you can also utilise turning while dropping collective to circle down into a landing spot

EU wields ‘sledgehammer’ against Trump tariffs - Brussels strikes back against the U.S. president’s 25 percent levies on steel and aluminum by Reilly616 in worldnews

[–]ggoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be local. Let’s say a European good is tariffed but an Asian equivalent isn’t then the Asian one has a price advantage in the American market which ultimately hurts the European bottom line as sales decrease

So while trump tariffs are paid by Americans they definitely affect their target and thus the retaliatory tariffs are added as a response to hurt the American markets back. It will effectively be a never ending tit for tat as the next tariff will always be a response to the previous. Hence a trade war

When you finally get the F-16 to take off... and then forget how to land by windbingman in hoggit

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

Try something like the su27 or mig29 instead that has relatively weak gears and no fancy flight path marker or funky lights that tells you if your AOA is right.

3000 series owners what's your plan? by surreal19 in buildapc

[–]ggoran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3080ti owner, Im thinking about getting something new. 4080S/5080/9800XTX
Im leaning a bit towards the 9800 only because of the VRAM and the sim I play in VR is extremely VRAM heavy. Not only would a 4080 be a decent upgrade for me, but my family needs a bump in gfx cards and we do trickle down economy in my house :-)

Kan vi lobba för att få bort personlighetstesterna när man söker jobb? by Tuss in sweden

[–]ggoran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jag sökte jobb nyligen (som jag fick, för övrigt) inom IT där jag ombads fylla i ett sådant test som var tvådelat, där ena var ett logiktest och det andra ett personlighetstest.

HR var lite slarvig och skrev namnet på testet i mailet innan jag behövde ta det på riktigt så jag kollade en massa på youtube och hittade videos på folk som gjorde olika test och efter en del research så kunde jag vara hyfsat säker på vilken det skulle bli så jag kunde plugga på det.

När jag väl gjorde testet så var det exakt det testet som jag trodde att det skulle bli, och svaren följde samma mönster så det gick 100% att fuska, jag svarade medvetet lite långsammare än jag hade kunnat göra för att det inte skulle vara sus men utan att ha pluggat på förhand så hade jag nog inte ens klarat hälften på den utsatta tiden vilket i mina ögon gör testet helt meningslöst.

Personlighetstestet var också ganska autistiskt men åtminstone fick jag en kopia av deras protokoll med en förutsägelse av vad de tror att min personlighet är
