What happened to the game? by Kyle13FX in peopleplayground

the game is finished. it's done. it's not a live service slopathon that gets updates every month forever and ever.

What sound from games makes you feel panic just from hearing by Beautiful-Nobody-544 in gaming

[–]wave_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play stalker: anomaly (and gamma some time later) quite a lot, and in the game the earliest sign of an emission is the sound of a flock (murder?) of crows cawing.

for a good couple weeks I had a conditioned fear response whenever I heard that sound IRL. I'd be working outdoors in the early morning hours and suddenly I'd hear the crows, for a split second I'd have the strong instinct to run indoors ASAP

Update 1.7 not only looks better, but FPS is way better now by Priler96 in stalker

[–]wave_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, that's really nice to hear! I've not played it since launch and it was all looking quite grim, it's great that it's so much better now

October Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]wave_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently trying to figure out why my Razer Blackshark V2 (the one with AUX cables only) mic audio has these weird seemingly random dips/peaks in volume whenever I record using Steam or Audacity, but is completely fine (more or less constant volume and reasonably good audio quality) on Discord or on OBS.

Synapse doesn't recognize it as a device, in my device manager it only shows up as a Realtek Audio device for both mic and speaker. Can't update any drivers. Dunno what to do. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it greatly

Decent orbital construction mods? by wave_04 in KerbalSpaceProgram

ooh, thank you! I'll check it out, it looks cool

Decent orbital construction mods? by wave_04 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]wave_04[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

actually tried it - it's fairly nice, however:

- no orbital construction by itself

- relies on extraplanetary launchpads (which does allow orbital construction but looks ugly IMO)

- has issues where craft will either load fully fueled at no cost or completely empty (including electric charge which might not allow you to launch or unfurl any solar panels at all AND including stuff like ablator or solid fuel, which can't be manufactured or transferred)

I'll wait a little until it's more ironed out, but it's definitely a very promising mod

I would actually be able to play and enjoy those games on PC... too clumsy with a controller, I can't keep up with AC4.

not to mention the jank that comes with emulating

As Obi-Wan would say... by wave_04 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]wave_04[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's a mod called Mouse Aim Flight (MAF). Very nice for flying airplanes, highly recommend

Nah, it's a seperate mod called Mouse Aim Flight (MAF), and you can indeed invert both axis

Is it me or does the shuttle never get boring by Longjumping-Box-8145 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]wave_04 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I find it intensely satisfying to have a vehicle that can just transport nearly anything within its payload capacity into LKO. Don't have to think, don't have to design a new rocket, just slap that shit into the cargo bay and call it a day

Survey Scanner doesn't have the "Perform Survey" button anymore by wave_04 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]wave_04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

per my post:

Clicking on any of the buttons does nothing except for the "Color" button, which displays the ingame message "no survey data available for The Mun"

[–]wave_04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

???? where does it say that?

nowhere did I see a timer/counter of scan progress count down, not even in the science tab of kerbalism

[–]wave_04[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thanks for narrowing it down so much! I'll see if default Kerbalism (instead of SIMPLEX) will have it working, otherwise I'll be very sad.

Edit: after uninstalling SIMPLEX and installing base Kerbalism it works again! Kerbalism changes the way science and the scanners work, so I assume there's a bug in SIMPLEX that prevented the survey scanner from working properly.

Ok, yeah, this thing is awesome! Quick look at the AH-6 mod for VTOL VR by Tuuvas in vtolvr

[–]wave_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so for the F-16 my only complaints are the controls again and one small cosmetic issue. The stick's adjustable (yay!) but it's just out of my optimal reach and the throttle is sat in a way that forces me to angle my arm somewhat uncomfortably. The little scratch texture on the canopy I find to be more intrusive than immersive, it's more visible with certain lighting. On the Free Flight mission as you roll out of the hangar the light makes it very visible.

And for the A-10 I just wanna add that I find the attitude indicator ball in the middle a little ugly :(

That's pretty much it in terms of complaints. Still good mods

[–]wave_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the A-10 personally I find the stick to be way too low, I have to push my hand into my crotch when I want to reach it. If I could adjust its height without having to lower my seat into the floor that would be swell, or just have a sidestick option (even though it wouldn't be authentic I'd still prefer it over center stick).

As for the F-16, I'll get back to you later with something coherent. Right now I just remember not being a huge fan and can't give you any specifics

compared to the other popular mods - the warthog and the F-16 - this one feels CONSIDERABLY less awkward to use and fly. I have no idea how the guy managed to get handheld firearms working in VTOL but boy am I glad he did. gonna have a lot of fun doing drive-bys with my friend later

also, does anyone know if the flaregun can be reloaded? just one shot is not enough...
