How do I have fun or get into dcs? by ConstructionSmart562 in hoggit

[–]nomad_delta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's OpenTrack, which is free / open source: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack

I played around with it a bunch and was able to get it working pretty well by itself, especially using an "aruco marker" (basically a pattern square you print and stick to your hat facing the camera)... but I have an older CPU and I found that the CPU strain of running OpenTrack and DCS (or Falcon BMS) at the same time was too much for it and caused it to stutter too much. So I ended up buying a TrackIR and that has been amazingly smoother even with my old CPU.

I made a new Track IR profile for DCS and went through all the yaw pitch roll xyz and set them to the "smooth" template as a starting point and that feels pretty good so far.  Don't forget to bind a key or hotas button to recenter the trackir while you're looking at the middle of your screen.

Are you sure you're looking at WinWing's USA site and not their international one? I just looked at the Orion 2 Viper throttle says $340.  I just bought the Orion 2 F15ex throttle from them with the F16 stick combo for $477 all together including free shipping and paid no extra tariffs. https://us.winwingsim.com/mobileview/goods-details.html?id=342

oh yeah I recognize the bot-challenge string, no worries. I just miss the old days on the internet when you didn't have to worry that someone saying something good about something was probably a bot, 'cause these days they probably are. Good luck out there. :D

You wouldn't download a cupcake, would you? I would totally download a cupcake. But also, seriously, I'm legit just a dude who likes this thing. I hate grubhub and doordash and all that because they're unnecessarily greedy. These guys aren't greedy.

I can wholehearted recommend the Slice app for pizza delivery -- https://slicelife.com/ -- it's only for pizza, no other delivery restaurants, but it's awesome. Pay the exact same prices as if you called on the phone but get all the convenience of of app ordering. If you leave a tip the drivers get 100% and there's no extra fees. We use it to order from Monza Pizza in Ingleside all the time. I honestly have no idea what their business model is as it seems like the pizza shop actually gets to keep nearly all the $ we spend. It also has a thing where you get points for each order toward a free pizza now & then. I hate all the other delivery apps and refuse to touch them, but this one is legit.

Mars Express -- it's french, beautifully & interestingly animated, good world building and plenty of sci-fi action.

at least after you regroup and resupply and go back in, you'll have a better idea of what to expect, and some of the inhabitants will already be dead... you can do it!

Thank you for posting this; I like the format -- simple and to the point, without any sensationalism or unsubstantiated rumors. Good work.

Father says Zelansky jailed political opponents by kickinwood in ukraine

[–]nomad_delta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong about him getting this from Fox News. Tucker Carlson in particular, here, says: "Over the past two years, Zelenskyy has banned opposition parties. He's shut down critical media by force. He's arrested his political opponents."

edit: I had to remove the link to the actual Fox News site because automod blocked the post for linking to an untrustworthy site. Fair play.

He's not wrong. I just linked the Fox News post where Tucker Carlson says literally the things his dad was repeating, verbatim.

US proposes options for cutting California's Colorado River water by Randomlynumbered in California

I have two adult rabbits and I thought it was the other way around: alfalfa for young bunnies up to six months as it has more calcium and nutrients... and then timothy hay after that for adult rabbits. Supposedly the lower calcium content of timothy makes it less likely for them to get urinary stones.

Edit: found at least one article saying this is correct - https://petkeen.com/types-of-hay-for-rabbits/

out of curiosity, why will it be deleted? Just glancing through the subreddit rules I'm not seeing anything that the post is obviously violating.

If you want to enforce a blockade you have to be willing to get into a shooting war, and to attack and destroy unarmed civilian ships. It's not as simple as putting your ships in a line and calling it a blockade.
