  2. Holly molly! That's a huge chunk of history. Thank you for sharing. I wish you did a walkaround through all the major milestones of your career as a trip video with interviews I'm kiiind of, little bit involved with electronics component obsolescence right now.
  3. I might check it out one day. RTX 2070. There's suspiciously little info 9n what it actually does.
  4. For a draft profile with 0.6 nozzle...
  5. Wow, thank you for the comprehensive answer. In my mind the only thing composition of solder influences is the degree of ease of soldering. The total inability to solder to the slightest degree boggled my mind with that Ethernet cable! You had an interesting career. May I ask in which direction you moved afterwards? In the subject of soldering, just yesterday I also managed to crack an SMD thermistor at the bottom of my 3D printer. One day after finishing an overhaul and re-calibration It's stuck at 50kOhm and the printer thinks it's -50 deg C.
  6. I know, I know. But I'm curious what's so special about the wires. I'd accept difficulties. Hey, they might be chineesium steel or something. But for not a single drop of solder fusing... I simply must know why. And yes, im putting a handful of Ethernet connectors in my next electronics order. A box of audio mini jacks and Ethernet connectors is a must nowadays.
  7. Recently I needed a crossover on the double. So I proceeded with cutting a cable and re-soldering. Try imagining my face during the attempt I'm a fixeverything guy, I've been soldering this and that for years, from audio jacks to some PCB repairs even. But this... THIS! After an hour I failed to establish a single fusing of solder with any of the wires. Literally! I'm using this solder [https://www.cynel.com.pl/en/products/117-pb60sn40-sw26](https://www.cynel.com.pl/en/products/117-pb60sn40-sw26) It has flux in it. I even used additional liquid flux, various temperatures from 360 to 420. Not a single piece of solder tinned a wire. The strands of the wires were silver in color. Any thoughts? Is there something mysterious about Ethernet cables in general as far as soldering is concerned?
  8. Thank you for your offer. If you could provide a variant with a 5 mm round hole, as well as a variant with no hole, that would be great. Just the variant with a 5mm hole if you're short on time. As for the Warthog Project, I haven't found a single STL file in the download library (Google Drive).
  9. The Warthog project uses the knob in question but I can't find any STL files for it. I recently printed a 3D Benchy model and lit it up. It turns almost white-translucent. Close to perfect. So I'd obviously like to test the filament out on the knob. https://thewarthogproject.com/downloads
  10. Thanks for sharing! I tried finding the transparent round landing gear knob on https://thewarthogproject.com/downloads but I only see panel files (dxf, pdf) in there. Am I missing something.
  11. Dude. I've got a scrapheap cheapo printer I barely resuscitated. It's PLA for me or nothing
  12. I've just realized I'm running out of the semi-transparent filament. I don't like it and I don't plan on buying transparent filaments ever again so I thought maybe I could put the reminder of it to good use. Do you guys have any ideas on semi-transparent controls found in century series US aircraft? F-4, F-5E... I'd start with the landing gear knob but I only found a cylindrical version. At least on thingiverse. Does anyone have a more round shaped model?
  13. Good news and bad news. The good news is the work is proceeding. The legs for the base turned out perfect, joints so tight I get a BOING! when I hit it. Note to self: reclaimed wood is a waste of time. As for the 3D no-name printer I treated it to an overhaul. I detected a sneaky malfunction, replaced the bearings and fixed a 1 mm dip in the bed. No wonder leveling was inconsistent. The bad news is that despite all my efforts I did find a job. All the consequences with regard to the "simpit time" are given, naturally.
  14. How is that possible?! The switch is not cheap. Is it a mechanical or an electrical problem within the switch?
  15. The default view is one of the snap views. You're going to learn this by watching at least one comprehensive snap view guide. Setting up a new default view takes less than 10 seconds. It's currently subject to a known bug. For more information go through the following topic https://forum.dcs.world/topic/332308-snapviews-view-angle-reset/?do=findComment&comment=5291936 Also https://forum.dcs.world/topic/95008-dcs-cameras-views-and-video-recording/
  16. @ThorBrasilSSS could be Sub-Surface Scattering. If it's not for even more photorealistic water rendering then the ONLY thing I could think of is... soldier ears... when the light source is on the opposite side to the camera. It works wonders on goblin ears anyway
  17. Along with several other 3D settings - new and reorganized.
  18. Trying it out seems to be a good idea since the readme does mention bloom. Also it gives out the location of the possible culprit \Bazar\shaders\deferred\bloom.fx Man, I miss the days where you could simply delete Lock On/DCS poor shader files. Flares, overcast...
  19. Sing me up! I'm going to be as outraged as I was after the release of the new cloud system DCS beta builds are often equivalent to "production releases" of many other software projects anyway. Excluding graphical glitches that is.
  20. A mercy update! I don't know about others but I'd really appreciate making it part of the Patch Status topic in the future.
  21. 2.9, 3.0, no mattah. Vulkan and even more emphasis on paying the technological debt. Everything else is just white noise. Or shadow shimmering Feature creep turns great projects into ArmA 3.
  22. CUSTOM SNAP VIEWS PROCEDURE - A REFRESHER as well as current issues I highly recommend clicking the 'Follow thread' button there.
  23. Aaah, now I get it. It's a sentence transition. LWin+NumN - NumN being whichever ... ~ LWin+NumN, where NumN is whichever ...
  24. Single monitor 2560 × 1440 (native resolution) Could you clarify that bit (in bold) please?
