  1. I always to think of the Gamers Nexus AIO video re orientation. I think it is why my build will have Noctua fans. You can always tell if the fan isn't spinning. I hope that you can solve this. Best of luck.
  2. I just watched a A-4 vs F-14 vid on YT and I thought a few times "oh if he had just a bit engine" So I ask if there will ever be a Top Gun version with the more powerful engine? I'd like to again thank everyone involved with this mod. I really enjoy it. Thanks!
  3. Good point. I'm not saying its ideal, but, if $$$$ is an issue, it might work. Another with smaller vices. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/benywo/built_some_hotas_mounts_and_you_can_too/ I do not think that I would want to use these forever, but until I could get the $ for a monstertech or virpil, it might just do.
  4. Sorry if already posted. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/158016-easy-sturdy-desktop-joystick-holder/ There are also quick release(A button) versions of these vices, but, I've read that sometimes the buttons release on their own? So research before trusting your HOTAS to a quick release version. https://www.amazon.ca/Delta-20-622-4-Inch-Quick-Release-Drill/dp/B00004Y9F3 One thing I always did when clamping onto wood was to use some sacrificial thin pieces of wood on either jaw to protect the desk surface. Edit my second link was to a plastic clamp. Not sure that would hold up?
  5. I had a dual boot Ubuntu/Windows system. Once I learned about the software libraries, I pretty much I had everything I needed. I deleted ubuntu due to space reasons mainly. I did not like what it did to the boot loader. That was my fault though. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1240994/how-to-restore-windows-boot-loader-after-removing-ubuntu Main issue for ubuntu/linux is drivers imho. But, I think in time that there will be much better support.
  6. Saw this and thought that it may help. 3d print Thopter https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5125725/files This one looks pretty spiffy https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/miniatures/sci-fi/dune-ornithopter
  7. Not trying to muddy the waters, but would Dview or DXtweak help? https://derekspearedesigns.com/technical-guide.html
  8. Saw these and thought that it may work for someone. There are plenty of other styles as well. https://www.amazon.ca/Everlasting-Comfort-Orthopedic-Sciatica-Tailbone/dp/B01EBDV9BU/ref=bmx_dp_kgexgzqn_1/134-9559785-5451040?pd_rd_w=DH1zy&pf_rd_p=aa5a6837-dc2f-41da-8ea4-563c5d415b8d&pf_rd_r=ZT2264GRDRZJJXD6M8V4&pd_rd_r=5e7fc2ea-ef53-441d-b7b9-2f1d1717e354&pd_rd_wg=LREdf&pd_rd_i=B01EBDV9BU&psc=1 1) You might have to flip it so that bulge isnt in behind. 2) Not sure that the gap in the middle is large enough for full range of motion of the stick?
  9. Agree 100% with MOW above. Unless you have no choice and must have a portable, a desktop will have more performance. Yes, it is a bad time hardware wise, especially GPU, but, a desktop might give you a GPU upgrade path. Hardware unboxed analysis 3070 vs 3070
  10. Band-Maid Dont go by the outfits. This is good ROCK Dice Onset Freedom Domination
  11. This may or may not help. Lins tech tip forum PSU Tier list. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list/ Good luck. Edit: here is someone getting a 3080TI. Same question. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1386617-what-psu-do-you-recommend-also-i-do-not-quite-understand-the-tier-list/ EDIT EDIT- A further surch in the psu forum for 3080 cards. Plenty to read. https://linustechtips.com/search/?q=3080&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=21
  12. I have kits, just unable to build at the moment. So I look at the new releases. New kits on the way: 2 new 1/48 SR-71 kits. One from Revell, the other from Hypersonic/Gaspatch. Reprint of Caracal decals also coming up. I think the Revel kit is out in December. Pre-order is about $120 usd. Build http://hyperscale.com/2021/galleries/sr71arevell48dw_1.htm The other SR-71 by Hypersonic/Gaspatch is what I will save up for. Looks like they have been working on it for a few years. Last post I saw said that they were still committed to it. Hypersonic has a webpage and you can see the quality of his work. Doesn't look like you can put the engines into the Revel kit?

  13. GN report Power 243 watts. skip to 24:13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhI9tLOg-6I Temperature 102 C OC. 93 Regular. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-12900k-alder-lake-12th-gen/21.html Since I am waiting for reasonable GPU prices to return(HA!) I will see what more testing shows and what AMD has up it's sleeve
  14. Just wanted to say Thanks! to you and the folks at VSN. I really like booting along in the CF-104.
  15. Hello, I've read about the various fixes and extensions, but may have an idea. I've looked online re pics and videos and can not see how the shaft is joined to the gimbal. Does anyone know? Or have a picture that they can share? Thanks
  16. Just found this as a possible reference Cockpit/Ornithopter design. https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2021/10/28/ornithopter-cockpit-1635422491206.jpg https://www.ign.com/articles/dune-how-denis-villeneuve-designed-the-ornithopters I am already seeing 3d print crysknives on thingiverse/yegi. How long before there is a Thopter there? Ever reference helps right? Best of luck to everyone on this project.
  17. I will try that. I thought that I had created the correct folder name, but obviously not. Thanks!
  18. I always like finding imaginative takes on things.

I am sorry.
  19. This reminded me of a thread I stumbled across many years ago. I like what if aircraft. They are fun. Get the imagination going. Anyhow, here is a JSDF A-10 Dragon. What say you skinners? http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/130242-what-if-schemes/&do=findComment&comment=2176300 You could replace the figure on the tail with a Dragon or a Samurai etc.
  20. Sketchfab of any help? Maybe they would let you use the models? https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/dune-2021-harkonnen-ornithopter-37c51fb62f2640edacfcd57e08176118 https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/ornithopter-dune-2020-fb03d4aa0d42452fa8e8ea348b7ffce5
  21. PEBCAK - Problem exists between chair and keyboard Thanks for trying Pokeraccio. Sorry everyone, this was my fault. Follow the install instructions. Especially the install in coremods part. What does the Mighty Jingles say? "I'm old and I'm crap"
  22. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but, was not sure where else to post this. I can get the Canada 150 and Norad 60 skins ok. I can see the 2003 Tiger meet skin listed, but it does not come up. Hopefully this skin is still working. I have tried it under Canada and Combined. It is listed but the skin does not work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
