  1. This link is dead. It returns 404 error.
  2. @Bcamel1 Have you got any references for dimensioning of throttle grips? Sheet metal or 3D print - it would be great to rely on a starting point.
  3. It may well be that the source is the tire contact issue but don't you guys think it's suspicious how consistently this happens around 80% engine RPM? Either way the only thing I'm after is getting it fixed so getting it pulled to the ED's issue tracker
  4. What do you mean by more relevant? A 100% match? I'd like that too as well but in my opinion the Yu is very very close. I'm going to check 2 others later in the day. As for the production of the panels I'm still debating printing the entire panels and cover plates vs: A. Not printing the layers with labels and replacing them with laminated paper print. B. coverplate as a sandwich in the form of sheetmetal-printedbevel. Then switch plate in whatever, sheet metal or acrylic/policarbonate. As obviously the embossing of a sheet metal is not a production process suitable for home workshop. Here's the svg test file I'm using for quick trials. Remember to try various "boldness" levels and that in inkscape for a font you need to have Fill set to color and Stroke to NONE. Then again, you can use stroke options to achieve interesting effects, like easing of sharp corners or bolding the font up in a controlled manner. http://font-alphabet-styles.blogspot.com/2011/11/century-gothic.html https://www.fontsplace.com/twentieth-century-medium-premium-font-download.html SIMPIT F-5E FONT TEST.svg
  5. Here are the timestamps in the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0v57kIAGmc 2:04 to 2:10 two kicks, not resulting from any pitch, roll, yaw or camera input. This can be replicated even with bare keyboard configuration. Same moments in the bug engine force kick 2023-09-18.7z track file: T130.xxx to T134.xxx same two kicks
  6. When I'm looking for a font I always go through the ones actually available in my system or Inkscape. It often saves a lot of hassle. I found a font that may not be perfect but it's closer to the original than Arial. Gothic-like fonts are certainly the way to go. Here you can see the original (pixelated, from the cockpit textures) vs Yu Gothic UI vs Arial. Why Yu Gothic UI is still not perfect. The original font differs in that oval letters in the original font like O and G are even closer to a regular circle (wider) and the non-oval letters and letters that are not M, W etc. are narrower. In short, the original has wider O, G and even narrower R, S, T, H etc.

  9. Hi! I'm preparing to put together my very first simpit project. Any recommendations with regard to project organization? Goals: 1. Small but DCS-BIOS-ready F-5E left console + weapons panel + fuel control panel 2. Low-cost. I don't mind extra soldering. 3. Organised into 4 modules at the beginning. The entire left console as one module. 4. Preference: buttons on flight controls managed by FreeJoy References: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/161441-generic-dcs-bios-panel https://forum.dcs.world/topic/310930-maximising-the-use-of-arduino-nanos-max-switch-connections-possible/ https://github.com/dcs-bios/dcs-bios.github.io/blob/master/docs/v0.2.5/userguide.adoc#connecting-your-first-panel EDIT: Homing in... https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/1375vhv/home_cockpit_crew_dcs_bios_or_arduino_as_a_hid/ https://forum.dcs.world/topic/185244-cockpit-electronics-quotecosystemquot-selection/ https://forum.dcs.world/topic/118288-dcs-bios-discussion-thread/page/28/ !!!

  10. Thanks for taking the time to look into it.n! The actual airframe move is almost negligible in magnitude (although it is in fact an infinite acceleration glitch). The actual issue is how it affects the FPV camera. The result is a glitch appearance you'd only expect in a multiplayer session. Not to waste your time I'll get back to you with exact time stamps of FPV glitches instead of the underlying smaller airframe glitches that are harder to spot.
  11. create a mission where you're neutral, start it, go to payload and browse through them. In user files I posted a screenshot gallery of ALL liveries available by default. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/147354-dcs-f-5e-tiger-ii-skin-contest/?do=findComment&comment=5293862
  12. FYI, you can take the canopy DDS file and use it with any mod or stock cockpit textures.
  13. Yoo, @NineLinewwhatever you have going on for the F-5E apparently you're not going to be enumerated for it
  14. @Bcamel1 and @Deadmand Both, the MIL font and the Gordon one are too narrow. Yesterday evening I did a font id session but I didn't know you'd be such a fireball and I don't have the names at hand. One was similar to Futura something (20th century something) and the other was one of the Gothic fonts. The most distinguishing features of the F-5 font are very round O, C, G, R letters, technical writing numerals. What software do you use @Bcamel1m? Do you do the labels within the modeling software or do you import them from e.g. Inkscape? As for the walkaround video it's more of general use for the purpose of this topic as the F-5 is completely stripped of avionics, with bare DZUS rails.

  16. I've been staring at it for a long time and still don't know which part of the cockpit is this. Any hints?
  17. & @rubylight What fonts did you guys use? Isn't it the correct one? It seems too narrow to me. Especially evident by letters C and G. The DCS texture for comparison
  18. That would have overshadowed the 2.9 release for me personally! Not the clouds maybe but 2.9, for sure
  19. Why do women close their eyes during sex? Because they can't stand, for a second, seeing a man having a good time. Now... This is how wife sees you in your simpit. Imagine the ordeal meme DCS simpit obi one wan aLwGpk5P_700wv_0.mp4

  21. 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.
  22. I might check it out one day. RTX 2070. There's suspiciously little info 9n what it actually does.
