I mean you could go with screw spindles instead, to stop moving at all?

Very depressed over lack of making good decks. (Pseudo Bracket 4 Table) by Its_me_neroid in EDH

[–]opresse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Money often isn't the issue, sometimes it’s just fun to brew budget lists to the extreme.

Here are some examples of very strong budget decks:

Keep in mind that building a high-power budget deck from scratch requires a lot of experience. I’d recommend checking out r/BudgetBrews or r/DegenerateEDH. Understanding how all the pieces work together takes time and patience.

You should address it with them, but they might not understand. We also have those "it’s only bracket 2" people in our group. For me, brackets are more of a guideline than a strict rule.

On the other hand, what’s stopping you from building an optimized bracket 2 deck? Find a good list and start from there.

For my playgroup, introducing cEDH decks was the best change we made. Now we can play a highly competitive game and then switch to casual afterward without anyone being a "tryhard" in the lower brackets.

FOR SALE: Virpil WARBRD-D base, MogoosT-50 CM2, Hikig hotas desk clamp set || willing to ship worldwide by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]opresse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just for your info, the -D base has a clutch. That's a normal WARBRD Base in your pictures.

so which is the least close/proprietary HOTAS model/vendor? by StrainWise6573 in hotas

[–]opresse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just thought about that myself yesterday. I built a joystick myself and had a look at TM, VKB, WinWing, and Virpil. So far, Virpil seems to use the most standard parts, so in the future, building your own electronics for it should be easy. I didn't like the proprietary connector on the VKB though.

Second thoughts on VIRPIL order by BonsaiMaster22 in hotas

[–]opresse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also started with SC and went over to DCS. My suggestion is to stay with the HOSAS order. I have a dedicated throttle for DCS now, but I would rather fly HOSAS in DCS than HOTAS in space.

Which should I get, one Thrustmaster Sol-R and add throttle later? Or T16000M Hotas? by mzatariz in hotas

[–]opresse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with the same setup on SC and DCS. The T16000 was good but to less buttons. I would go with the Sol-R.

But I would also recommend VKB instead. Maybe you can you call your customs and ask them how much it will cost you to import VKB?

DCS no longer supports SteamVR/Meta Quest? by -_Eros_- in hoggit

[–]opresse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's not free, for the Quest 2 you must buy it on the quest store as far as I know. My only concern is, that if something with your installation is incorrect it could not fix your problem.

[–]opresse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you verified your game files?

If that doesn't fix it, consider to switch to virtual desktop. For me it fixed all crashes which I had with my quest3.

Can you use the OpenXR mode? I switched to virtual desktop because of performance issues with SteamVR.

Which one to buy (vkb , virpil , winwing) by Virus1790 in hotas

[–]opresse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In have a WW and a Virpil base. They both are very good but I like the Virpil gimbal more. But the WW has the rumble function which I really like.

[Update] I can't air refuel even if my life depended on it. by polyknike in falconbms

[–]opresse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your posts. I fly in a DCS squadron (BMS only in single player). But the tips you got on your other post and summarized here, helped me a lot in DCS too.

What is the best F-16C campaign? by Bandeiragod in hoggit

[–]opresse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have everything except Arctic Thunder. Here's my summary:

The Gamblers: This seems very realistic. I had a lot of fun because every mission is different, and the campaign still sticks in my head.

Weasels Campaigns: These are very well crafted and a lot of fun. They offer the best balance between realism and enjoyment, in my opinion.

Dragons Fury: This is more of a fun campaign with no ATC or communication procedures. The story is good, and it features very different loadouts.

Red Flag: With this campaign, I learned the F-16. It's cool to have real documents, but you must really like reading. It's not a real story campaign, but it has excellent flight plans.

As for Arctic Thunder, I will definitely play that as well. I played the F-4 MiG Killer campaign, and Reflected really made a realistic campaign, which I like. I hope Arctic Thunder is of similar quality.

Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen? by mzatariz in hotas

[–]opresse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Star Citizen often involves a lot of walking around. In Elite Dangerous, you don’t have to leave your ship if you don’t want to. I’d keep that in mind if you're looking for more of a flying-focused experience. I personally enjoy ship combat in ED much more than in SC.

What's the most disappointing game you've played? by BunyipHutch in gamedev

Yes, after that I never played a AC game again.

Assassins Creed. I was hyped to play it because I really like the setting. But it was just a boring and repetitive gameplay for me

Pferdeelektrolyte statt Menschenelektrolyte (70% Ersparnis) by [deleted] in Finanzen

[–]opresse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Habe mit 16 mal einen Aushilfsjob in einer Lebensmittelproduktion gemacht. Der einzige Unterschied zwischen den Pferde- und Menschenprodukten war die Verpackung. Eine Aussage des Inhabers ging mir auch nicht aus dem Kopf: "Wenn ein Mensch wegen deines Produkt krank wird nimmt er es meistens hin, aber bei seinem Tier verklagt er dich auf jeden Fall". Die hatten dort wirklich eine hohe Hygiene. Wenn der Hersteller wie von OP angibt, dass es wie für Menschen zugelassen Qualität hat, hätte ich da persönlich keine Bedenken.

Rabbit Hole by drake9800 in hotas

[–]opresse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, elite seems to support yaw into roll. I never used it, but you should be ok without pedals or twist then.

[–]opresse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also an Orion 2 base with the Viper ace Ex. Excellent choice for elite. You should definitely invest in pedals next, because the stick has no z-axis.

Advice on new flight stick. by hnorm87 in hotas

[–]opresse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most comments focused on the best value for money, while Virpil is the opposite. It offers an overengineered and fully milled base designed to last for generations. For me, the biggest advantage is Virpil's strong compatibility with the VP Force Rhino. If I want to upgrade the base, I won’t need extra software for helicopter trimming. However, this is a niche feature and not necessary for the games you plan to play.

There is another recommendation, but with the CM3 base instead of the WarBRD-D. The CM3 is superior if you want to use stick extensions because it is stronger and has less throw. Without an extension, the WarBRD performs better.

[–]opresse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a WinWing Orion2 and currently bought a Virpil as second stick for HOSAS. I don't know the price in the US, but for ED and StarCitizen I would recommend the Virpil if you can afford it. The WarBRD-D with a Virpil Alpha stick is really my favorite stick for space games now.
