  1. I have 3D printed things and bought 3D printed things. I find zero issue with the print quality. There is a seam but the layers are tight, no zits, no layer shift, barely any print texture at all and - didn't sand and fill either. That would have jacked the price up and honestly it's my flight sim rig, not a concours d' elegance show car. The hardware integration tolerances are excellent. I have no concerns about durability. There's no way I'm breaking any part of the tube they printed. The Moza base motors can do 12 Nm max and I don't think that's enough to rip either of the mounts from the base of the shaft or grip attachment point. At that point I'm worried more about my shoulder than the stick.
  2. All the way from the Mexican Border (relevant!) and the Barry Goldwater Range up to Fallon and the entire West Coast from San Diego - including San Clemente Island and Catalina and the Channel Islands! THAT'S A MAP Really though just goes to support a global map, AI integration into mission building, asset management, dynamic campaign....
  3. No he's discussing lamentations. "Conan, what is best in life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women." "That is good." The word "lamentations" is not, in and of itself, a lament. It is lamentable that you do not know the difference . I'm always up for some semantics antics.
  4. No one actually says "lamentations".
  5. Totally not sponsored. Just yesterday I received curved extension to go between my Moza and TM Hornet grip. I ordered the 150C75 from QR4rigs, which cost 51 pounds, and 45 pounds to ship to America. They did a superb job with this. The tube print is nearly perfectly smooth. One highlight is the anodized threaded ring but the real star is the integrated cable. This is top-drawer CAD work, building and quality checking. Definitely recommend to anyone. Ordered on Sunday, Feb 2nd and it was here in AZ yesterday on the 7th. That's quick turnaround. They absolutely deserve a shout-out and a look-see.
  6. Pipehitters fast roping to rooftops or ship decks would be LIT.
  7. Meanwhile... https://x.com/RAZBAM/status/1875572598618398879
  8. Did you just appoint yourself as a moderator of this thread?
  9. You're in a hamster wheel at this point. It's time for the nuclear option:
  10. There's always one...... Duh I'm talking about shot up airplanes with holes in the wings and stuff like that which can be repaired in 170 seconds. 170 days, a year, part it out and give the airframe to the crispy critters to practice on.
  11. A flight sim should still be fun to play. It's not a full-fidelity life simulator. It's a flight simulator. If you want to be realistic about battle damage repair, the timer should be 170 days not seconds. Hence, re-spawn and fly again. Just fly the sim, folks.
  12. This can be disallowed in the mission editor.
  13. All Run As Admin seems to do in my experience is ensure that it priotitizes CPU - been doing this long before I discovered process lasso - helps prevent applications from hanging because Windows thinks that printer driver updates a REALLY important RIGHT NOW.... ... Goddamn I hate Windows. All anecdotal, n=1, advice I internalized decades ago. I'm just throwing that out there as an aside for overall smoothness of life after DCS updates. I know it won't fix peripheral problems or the Saved Games folder.
  14. I've been a pilot since the late 1900's, but only been a maintainer for the last 5, and I've learned a ton about fault isolation in that time. Isolating by swapping suspect components out for known good ones is one of those things. Anyway, one of my preventative measures whenever there's an update - and I don't care if others think this is unnecessary and they always say something (my post update quality of life is much higher compared to others who don't do this) - Delete your fxo and metashaders2 folders entirely from your Saved Games folder, then run the repair *As Administrator* (right click on Start > Repair Run as Admin), with every option checked. I'll die on that hill. It's worth the extra few minutes.
  15. Do you feel anything in the mechanism? Open up the base and check for any FOD. Additionally, check to see if it follows to different modules or if it's on just one aircraft.
  16. That would make sense if the product they're selling was the software, but it isn't. Your analogy doesn't work. Their mods to the open source code can be proprietary IP. If I write a Cliff's Notes to your example library book and sell it in a student bookstore, that' not stealing and reselling the book. It's me writing a book about a book. Sorry, Shag,none of this holds up in my court of common sense. Additionally, it's mods to open source code for the purposes of making hardware product work. This is the same kind of noise that got shot down in court as the lawsuit against Ed Sheeran for writing a song similar to Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On", basically, the money grubbing estate lawyers for Marvin's family trying to copyright a set of chord progression that's pretty much universal, so that they can sue everyone in perpetuity forever. It's the same as patent trolling It doesn't hold up and it's a waste of everyone's time, including yours and mine. The only people who are gonna care are the wild-eyed feverish fanatics on this forum. We as a flight sim community need to knock it off for the sake of the hobby otherwise that thing that makes this community so toxic are going to limit it forever. You also spelled "donated" incorrectly. Cheers!
  17. Sounds like retreating blade stall to me. At such high airspeed, instead of getting a roll moment in a typical single rotor helicopter or a possible blade disk merge in a coaxial layout like. the Black Shark, perhaps this is the expected result with a longitude tandem rotor layout, or the Early Access attempt at the expected result. @47_Driver might be able to tell us more.
  18. Delete the zip file. If you've installed the aircraft properly, you don't need the zip file. Or take it out of the Saved Games Directory.
  19. How so? Use big words. Put me in my place. Show me where I’m wrong. Take us down the path for the education and enlightenment of all to see and hear. And tell us where you got your law degree from while you’re at it.
  20. It has everything to do with patents and IP and GLPv3 licenses. GLPv3, in this instance, as Walmis explains, requires the base code being used to remain proprietary, which they seem to have done, or tried to do. Ripping out code from a decompiled executable (which itself is probably illegal under EULA TOS) does not meet the burden of proof that an infraction has occured. That lawsuit would go nowhere, and it would take years to go nowhere. You people are not lawyers. Or you're all armchair mom's basement lawyers. This and the RAZBAM thing and the reaction of people are what make the flight sim community toxic af.
  21. Y'all need to chill. Consider the fact that these companies are all writing code based libraries based on the embargoed IP from the patents that just expired. Coders are lazy, and they are cooperative. If they get into a legal pissing contest their just gonna waste time and money like Apple and Samsung have been doing for the last 15 years. FFS people it's boutique FFB joystick bases for flight sims. Niche of a niche market. Hundreds of dollars are at stake! OMG!! That is not the kind of business where billions hang in the balance. Same with the RAZBAM thing. You people don't need to be taking up rhetorical arms under the banner of your chosen liege lord of some nonsense. Frickin chill. This is the flight sim world, not an Ayn Rand novel.

    No FFB???

    Are you OK? Your comment makes me think you've got a LAN cable wrapped around your neck and you can't breathe very well. You look a bit hypoxic, rhetorically speaking. Let me help you understand simple concepts in context. That poster was whining that FFB wasn't in the early access module AT THAT TIME. The module IS IN DEVELOPMENT. As of this update they managed to get it in amongst all the other things. HOW ABOUT THAT? Did I say that FFB support was never going to be introduced during early access? No, I did not. My post was relevant at the time and therefore fit the context. I guess that due to the loss of brain cells from your auto-erotic asphyxiation hobbies you don't understand that forums are a linear thing and post order is based on when it was sent. You can look it up. Don't hurt yourself. Go see a neurologist and get an fMRI. I'm really curious to see where the dark spots are.
  23. Oh yeah they could totally do the J model as an add-on and I'd give 'em a tenner. I'd also go for the G or F. I wouldn't pay for another module though and I probably wouldn't go for any A-D model.

    No FFB???

    When YOU decide to buy an early access product YOU AGREE that you're getting involved in an incomplete, broken, buggy thing. You get to report issues, not complain that the thing that you want to work doesn't work yet. You are allowed this privilege at a discounted price. If you want to complain, cough up another 20-30 bucks for what the module would cost at full value. That's your wahhhh tax.
