If you don't make a perfect score on your trap, security shoots your pilot and deck crew shove your plane overboard.

Lucky enough to get a gig on Starlifters back in the golden age of air shows late 70's to early 90's. The shows all turned to crap after that, no more petting zoo's and after hours tours, and not so many put on by the forces themselves. Now its an all for profit business. Being in a trash hauler, you always wind up parked on center stage at any active mission base on the transit ramp, same spot every passing fighter looking for fuel doing a cross country does its RON and pit stops. Back in the day no one gave a rip if you went over and snapped a few shots and did some lookey see, as long as you belonged there yourself. That all kind of stopped in the early 90's. Kind of cool seeing them crammed on the boat anchored of Diego Gar as you arrived or departed. Back than there was still loads of color and art. An afternoon or two sitting on the ramp when Miramar was still a Navy place watching them sortie in the spots right next to us, even have a slide of the Top Gun bird with the big patch on the tail parked in front of the TG hanger in 85. Nobody seemed to mind me and my camera. In the 90's Cats were regulars at Klamath Falls, we had an ADF detachment out there to support, all military aviation guys pay attention to the on going action, its their nature. The guys always put on a show when they know competition is watching, they're all drinking and pissing in the same clubs. But than there was lots of cool stuff back than, the ear shattering of a Korean Sabre taxiing straight at you, or a diamond formation of Japanese Starfighters ripping low overhead, 106's sparring against phantom D's over a ICBM fields mil air space, or a pair of the last of the 105 wild weasles pulling in to park by the hanger next to the one you work in on their way to the bone yards. Tomcats were definitely a notch or two up on the head turning factor. Can't wait for the early A, that's my era. No movie needed for any memories, plenty there.

Impressive how much you've retained in the amount of time that's passed, really loved that job, didn't you! Top notch stuff, rare is the man who knows what ALL of the switches do, and why.
-
What difference does it make, they can still scale the world too their hearts content, the ability is there. They're not asking for anything new, just a refinement, and your not stopping jack.

How many years have you guys been around now? I've been jumping on and off since Flanker 2. Think the longevity speaks for itself, this sim is never going to be finished, the day it is finalized and finished it joins the rest in the dust bin. If the method works, be awful stupid to change it.

Don't think the Ojo will ever see the light of day, it did release in Malaysia months ago, than fell off the cliff.

There's a big difference between a BAK test and an actual emergency engagement. Test is done with taxi only, so speeds can be limited.

Only VR Users Could Appreciate this Feature - wow!
Nodak replied to DerekSpeare's topic in Virtual Reality
It also has an annoying feature, as you move closer to the mirror your pilot gets smaller. Good luck using them tactically, not going to happen. -
One more thing you can try, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=211227 There's more in the file you can change since, they made it more complex and separated more elements as far as colors. I found a lite blue was far more readable on the DDI's, but haven't flown a hornet in a long while.

Her way of admitting she was wrong about the effects of good quality simulation after all the years of proof.
-
In the Options menus, under the VR tab, check the "force IPD distance" which will scale your jet larger with a lower number. Disregard the meaning of IPD on this setting, it has nothing to do with the IPD of your actual VR HMD, it does adjust game world scaling, and very well.
-
Thanks, be keeping an eye out for it, looks like a good movie.
-
The problem I originally had with the O+ was the cockpit scaling by default was too small, made it very difficult to read. When your shoulders are chronically merged inside the canopy rails you know. Once the pit was scaled up proper they're very easy to read.
-
How many ex odyssey users having the problem? Is it possible the original settings that fixed the O are now the cause? How did you reset them back to stock?
-
Maybe you want to find that log file if you adjusted it for the O+ and delete it? Could it be it's still actively correcting for the old WMR unit.
-
You can simulate G tolerance, but your never going to simulate fatigue. Fatigue is what causes you to make mistakes and lose SA. How do you program that?
-
and with another hefty Christmas sale!
-
Might be a clue your scaling is a bit off also. Most of these craft are quite roomy.
-
It has flares, center panel forward of the stick, left side. Buttons are color coded to match the flare color, arm switch below. If you want multiple flares select unlimited weapons and pop to your hearts content.
-
Far as the mod's, think they only add missing beacons. Many different types of beacons, for example the Nevada map doesn't have any of the Russian type placed, so there's a mod that fixes that, otherwise there's nothing to fix on with an L-39's nav equipment.

If the US knew the attack was coming, and they wanted war. Than why did they store over 80% of their torpedoes at Cavite and lose them almost immediately. Why did they failed to modify their pre war strategic battle plan of closing Manila bay that was based on waiting for the fleet for reinforcement, if they knew it was never coming. Why they committed under 20% of manpower and military output to the Pacific till well into 1944 when they knew Germany was contained, if they were scrapping for the fight. Main problem was the political leadership had no respect and little concern over Japans ability and capability. That changed rather quick.

That's a bug with Win 7, there's a command line your going to have to run to get it beyond the frozen point, than all will work. They've known about it for years and refuse to fix it, even when Win 7 was still supported. - Copy the file "OculusSetup.exe" onto your C: drive (not in any folder, just in the root). - Open the command window by pressing the Windows button and typing "cmd" and press Enter.. - Type "C:" and press enter. When you are typing, don't use quotes (just type what's in between the quotes). - Type "CD/" and press enter. - Type "OculusSetup.exe /bypassHotfixCheck" and press enter.
-
Another important feature is heat generation, my O+ runs cool, don't sweat like the old CV-1. Don't ever want to get another overly warm unit, not good if you wear for prolonged flight nights. I don't think there's nothing overwhelmingly greater right now, if you can get one under 300. Content to sit and continue using it until the next gen is established and has a clean winner. Hasn't happened yet.

[REPORTED] switching controls between pilots damages the airplane
Nodak replied to Mnemonic's topic in Bugs and Problems
You can do it safely and consistently by doing a full stop, do the swap, than go. I suspect our sticks don't have the same definition of neutral, so best to remove all simulated force on the controls before attempting a swap. -
Definitely got a boost, and the visuals are noticeably improved, shimmer is reduced, O+.
