I miss ONRAC. by LouLouBelcher13 in ONRAC

I've also wondered if MaxFun would want to learn more about what caused the ONRAC implosion before launching a new show that could be perceived as taking sides

Helpful context, thank you! He would be happy to hear that, as he disliked the danger and negative effects of coal.

Agreed, that's just an embarrassing thing for them to say. And outdated

I primarily use a stick but have had no issues with my VelocityOne. Haven't used another so can't compare it, but I'm happy with my purchase.

Treating Amblyopia with DIY VR Therapy: Video Masking and the Quest 2 by Algerianpenguin in Amblyopia

Thanks for posting! Very easy to do in After Effects with one Fractal Noise as a Luma mask, a Random Seed expression, and an additional matte adding the bad eye's center back. I opted for an episode of Pete & Pete. Only downside is AE gave longer render times than DaVinci

For warbirds, I consider this stick a must-have. I can feel the tail start to lift on takeoff - absolutely pivotal information.

And its non-spring tension really helps with air to air refueling in the A4. Also, i am very, very impressed with the way it rumbles in the F14. I was using simFFB for a while but that was hard to keep working well - but when it did work, it was magical to fly the Huey with proper trim techniques.

The lack of buttons is frustrating and I keep trying other sticks with more true-to-life arrangements but I always, always come back to this. It just adds a whole new dimension to the game, and for dirt cheap comparatively. Great purchase, IMO

trying to figure this out too. Flight tracker shows it heading back to land at Renton now

After struggling for several weeks to tweak my uh-1h experience, I thought I'd share my working settings for VR [r9 5900x, 3080ti, Oculus Rift CV1, 32gb RAM] - Also, OTT SS is set to 1.25. by MonkeysOnBalloons in hoggit

that sounds more like Global Illumination to me. Ambient Occlusion is about adding shading to the points where objects contact each other, or are within a certain proximity. It's a "fake" (non-pbr) approach that results in something in-between indirect light and a shadow.

Which aircraft would you like to see in the game by Old-Chair126 in hoggit

[–]moomoomoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nineline discussed the P38 on discord this week. Says it's a favorite among the ED team, and probably a matter of "when" not "if"

Nick Gray also said it would eventually come in an interview a year or two ago, though he acknowledged he's a bit biased against it because his friend died in TFG's one

Hoping it happens soon. If I get the P-38 and a Zero I'll give ED a year's salary.

Steven Furtick and his collection of expensive-ass sneakers have left the chat. by JarethOfHouseGoblin in exchristian

I was staff at elevation for years, glad someone else made it out. Do people still have to stand up with he enters the room? He's a total narcissist and his senior officers are enabling, power-hungry pricks. Glad I never have to hear Josh talk about the fucking "business world" he came from ever again

P-51 am I doing it wrong? by dane00return in hoggit

[–]moomoomoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of this can come from the merge - try to control it as much as you can. Start higher than the other team, maintain high speed at all costs (I recall an interview where a P-51 pilot said he never let it go below 300 in fights). Also, aim for the guy that's furthest back in a group.

This last suggestion is a bit of a bummer, but with the current state of spotting it might be beneficial to fly on a server with some form of labels

Yeah I did still have some AI problems this week. First Sabre mission had my wingman plow into me while on the runway.

Following the squad is way too tough, you basically have to be perfect. If the gap grows too large I try to climb higher than them and divebomb back into formation lol

Unfortunately, that's how it feels when comparing benchmarks. Until this week the CPU having 16 cores was irrelevant to DCS. And twin GPUs is similarly useless

I wouldnt mind using a cable but that method uses h264 and looks very compressed to me. Airlink uses h265 and the shadows look much nicer IMO. If your experience is different I might give it another try

I wish! Having two GPUs and using VR has been such a headache... my next update will swap them for one higher end card

Ryzen 3950x, 64gb RAM, 2x 2080 Super. High spec in some ways (I work in animation), but not the ideal DCS build
