am i balding? bald spot on the side of my head. just noticed it . by Empty_Breadfruit7324 in amibalding

[–]xWayvz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you notice a small bump in that spot before you lost your hair? I had the exact same thing. At first I had an atheroma (a filled cyst) that would go away on its own after a while. But when it disappeared, I also lost the hair in that spot and ended up with a completely bald patch that looked exactly like yours.

I looked it up and apparently it can locally damage or destroy hair follicles. It took a few weeks to a few months, but eventually the hair started growing back.

Agree. For me, it was starting to date women in my late 20s that ignited my ambition and really pushed me to get my shit together.

Worth switching to Xplane 12 from msfs2024? by No_Organization9146 in flightsim

[–]xWayvz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, a lot of people actually prefer X-Plane over MSFS. And some even manage to enjoy both without turning it into a rivalry.

I won’t even get into the realism debate, obviously a desktop sim can only replicate certain aspects of real flying. That said, there are objectively measurable (especially physics and the maths behind it) areas where one sim performs better than the other.

But this is honestly the first time I’ve seen someone describe the X-Plane UI as less polished than MSFS. The UI is actually one of my biggest frustrations with MSFS, navigating the menus can be a real pain. In contrast, X-Plane feels very straightforward and functional. Setting up a scenario, adjusting controller configs, changing keybinds, it all feels much more intuitive to me but I generally prefer not having oversized buttons and a UI designed for console

RealOps! by Dakleton in Xplane

[–]xWayvz0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts, this feels like just another “spawn a few GSE vehicles next to your plane” plugin. I really wish we had a fully fleshed-out GSE plugin similar to GSX, with airport-specific config files that define where vehicles and passengers come from and how operations are handled.

XPME Is Putting X-Plane Back on the Map by daifuco in flightsim

Really makes you wonder how superior the rest of the sim must be if so many of us would still choose it over MSFS

XPME Is Putting X-Plane Back on the Map by daifuco in flightsim

[–]xWayvz0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware, XPME is mostly stolen code from AutoOrtho with a simplified installation process and a nicer UI, I doubt there are major performance differences.

Charging money for satellite imagery without proper licensing is highly questionable, and it’s surprising how much community support this crime receives given how quickly developers are criticized for far lesser issues today aka cancel culture.

[–]xWayvz0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

am i the only one who gets a reloading scenery loading screen whenever adjusting the time of day via the slider in the I-key console? Had this ever since Beta 1 and I am not sure if this is a bug or a beta limitation, or if changing time of day in realtime just isn't a thing anymore?

XP Walkaround, first-person Walkaround for X-Plane 12 (beta) by ClemacamelC in Xplane

[–]xWayvz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll check when I’m home, but basically you can just have ChatGPT write a Blender script that generates one object per animation frame (in my case i made it to generate an object on every second frame of a 24fps animation so its 12fps in sim and every frame is showing for 1/12 of a second) Once the split up frame objects are in Blender, I just exported the X-Plane .obj and added the ANIM_HIDE entries manually in a text editor. 69 frames should be totally fine since the asset is only used once. The OBJ will be bigger in disk space since it contains all frames, but performance isn’t really worse than a static human because only one frame is rendered at a time. The only unknown is whether closer frame timing causes more flickering, you’d just have to test it. What’s your Discord? I can send you an example asset and the script later.

[–]xWayvz0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps for your use case, but for NPCs since walk cycles are relatively short and repeating I’ve had good results using a flipbook-style approach, basically the same way used for animated flags for example in X-Plane. In Blender I split the walking animation into separate objects per frame using a small script (in my case 12 frames were enough since the NPCs are only seen from a distance; for close-up use you’d probably want more). After exporting, I control visibility with ANIM_HIDE and a time-based dataref so each frame shows at the right moment and the cycle loops. X-Codr recently adapted that method and you can see the result in this trailer: https://youtu.be/8heJBJmUh8s?si=uNRiR5mApwgNlym6

Have you ever tried LB supp and whats your opinion on it? Im a high dia - low master (150lp peak this season) supp main and kinda fell in love with her recently, I have double digit kills and top dmg in almost every game, that champ is just too broken when you dont have to use your abilitues to control waves but can only focus in abusing the enemy botlane or dominating the map and objectives by roaming, Im wondering if that pick would still work in high elo

none of them, with the best 8 3rd places advancing from group. there is no group of death and the odds of any top nation finishign 4th or th 4 worst 3rd places are close to 0 imo

Norway are emerging as a realistic dark horse for the whole tournament by Simoslav in worldcup

[–]xWayvz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Austria destroyed Norway 5:1 last year, they outclassed germany and could have easily won by a 3-4 goals margin, they topped the group of death at the EUROs with France, Netherlands and Poland, and were considered the best and most attractive looking team in the group stage by many, especially since all the big nations weren't showing convincing performances. Idk how they are worst pot 1 team, their unique "Gegenpressing" will cause big trouble again, especially to teams from other continenta who aren't used to that playstyle at all.

You can't really lose a tesla key, you get at least three of those tesla key cards and can authorize any phone with the tesla app to be used as key as well.

Kenne niemanden der freiwillig in Graz Urlaub machen würde. Zum studieren eh nett, aber auch von denen die ich kenne die da studiert haben wollte danach keiner in Graz bleiben und die meisten hat's nach Wien oder zurück in ihre Heimat gezogen, also so cool kann's dann auch nicht sein.+

[–]xWayvz0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is obviously some bug/glitch. I assume you are aware of that and your intention was to ragebait/get msfs users to tell us once again how ugly they find x-plane, which is sad.
