  1. The action according to the controller positioning indicator shows both brakes working correctly, but graphically from the back seat the left brake pedal down presses both pedals down, while the right rudder pedal down does nothing.
  2. It's not the Russian Government who was the first to come for somebody over transfer of sensitive data associated with games, Russians certainly are not the only worry.
  3. Thing is there was a massive industrialization effort done in both North and South Vietnam between those years, so the map won't look the same. While there was a lull, a program of rebuild was taking place, factories and industrialization were introduced especially in the south. Nearly half a decade with massive budgets, the map changed as the population shifted from ag centered too the cities. Going to make it very difficult to sell from a "realism" perspective is all I'm saying. So it shouldn't be sold using that perspective, but if they get the topographical, climate, and terrain physical features, the vibe of the tropics well above the norm, than who cares. But still going to have to pick a period to build the cities such as Saigon, it changed drastically.
  4. Up on the tube, darn well worth the watch.
  5. Than the question becomes which Vietnam war do you want, the air war has three distinct phases, early to 68, 68 to 72 a solid four year period where not a single documented kill with any North Vietnam fighter occurred, and the late period 72 to the end where the NVAF finally re-emerged as an organized force. If your fighting Mig's anywhere from 68 to 72 you is wrong.
  6. There's a war memorial N 30 34' 53", E 32 18' 39" big old AK-47 Bayonet on the muzzle of an AK sticking out of the ground. Wouldn't have seen it except for the slow flight in a Helo.
  7. My guess on the third would be an F-4C, just makes sense, seeing as Spain was about the only other operator, with Vietnam now as a future affirmative.
  8. Its a necessity with an F-100 and A-1H in the pipelines, a primary weapon for both.
  9. Along with declining RCR values to effect your landing distances, traction, and braking, just to make it interesting.
  10. Win Key + Y
  11. In your windows setting, under mixed reality, headset display, turn your Positional Tracking OFF. That's most likely your issue, when your headset detects it's getting borderline on the tracking, it will shut off by fading to gray when this is turned on. Suppose to be an aid to prevent motion sickness when things get jittery. As for the sleep, set your time higher in WMR, but once it sleeps your app is lost.
  12. I could see the WWII version of MAC take off like a rocket in popularity, especially a Pacific version with carriers. With the stunning maps we have as of late and an ability to crank out aircraft at a much faster rate finally arriving. Campaign being close won't hurt none either. Loads of fast money to be made by third parties on tons of aircraft.
  13. Standard 19.5 volt 45W laptop power adapter.
  14. The original series cords with the offset from center cord on the connecting power box was inadequate for pushing signal, so they corrected the cable set by putting a signal booster in the later series centered wire cords. Mine, an original early G-2 corded, lasted until I connected a 4090, the cable instantly blew out, headset gone dark. Fortunately it lasted long enough where the G-2 is no longer top of the line and cord supplies are plentiful and run less than half what they used to.
  15. I'm waiting to see what the new XR capable headsets can do, they're just around the corner, Samsung's Galaxy XRVR edition should bring something to that table, hopefully at least specs are given this year if not actual production. I want to be able to read a physical kneeboard in hi-def color, along with certain controllers in my pit. Currently nothing I'm willing to cast the G-2 aside for that's a big enough leap, its still competitive.
  16. Push sales of the E through the roof and bet you'll get an A or C soon, sales can do wonders, talk is free.
  17. Yeah, a jet needs a minimum airflow rate through the AOA sensors for the flight control computer, the servo-actuators function might get a bit wonkey without. You never want to have an aircraft on jacks with power and hydraulics on and no airflow over the AOA probes, it can jump itself right off the jacks when the controls start fluttering, they have that much momentum and can move that quick. You always see the crewchiefs standing well clear once powered up, good way to get your head mashed in.
  18. Lack of raw data must be a problem, how do you flesh out a map from the past without solid and consistent satellite imagery? Even the time span of the war is too long with massive industrialization taking place in both North and South over long periods, the map won't be the same in 63, to 69, nor compared to 75. Seems to be an issue with even the Guam sized map in the shorter period of WWII, that's a lot of leg work and risk for the level of fidelity many will be demanding. There's no quick and easy way to do it, as it can be done more by machine in the current google maps era. It's going to have to be painstakingly researched and laid out all by hand, with a big risk it won't be plausible to many.
  19. You can safely put it this way, if anything the 4090 GPU will not be the boats anchor, not so sure how much the rest of the system will fare. The 5 Ghz don't necessarily mean much, many other factors in a CPU.
  20. Well if you ever served or crewed real world than your well aware it is nothing but fantasy and a game, and that's all it will ever be. Your on a wild goose chase to obtain unobtanium, reality itself let alone history can't be duplicated in a hardware box no matter how hard you wish it, or the effort and energy you can waste trying. Nothing against good smoke and mirrors, but you should recognize that's what your dealing with, especially known to those building it, and aware of the marketing risks one takes attempting to sell it off as something other than a fun and complex game. I know some want to think they're fighter pilots and biting an actual chuck out of some war, but your not, nor will you ever be, not even close for $79.99.
  21. Even if you had every detail accurate to an absolute degree, it will never play out in a historical way, because we're no longer connected and we will never make historically correct or connected decisions, the theater ops tempo and mentality is gone forever. It's a fools errand to waste the effort on what will never be again, close is good enough. What percentage of the player base can discern it anyway, so why waste a whole bunch time and effort? If it's easy to do and references abound go for it, it may look more historic but the game will still play out exactly the same in the end, one of those deals where your never going to really arrive where you imagined you wanted, as the clock ticks we're getting even further away. History doesn't play out in a game or simulation, too many variables missing in these simple and limited worlds, and than there's the human factor. Its not a realistic expectation, not a healthy one for this industry either. War never plays out the same twice, it's a human thing adapt, change up, or die. But simulations and games tend to play out very similar, it's all just programing with the same limitations, your inputs are definitely limited, pretty much the same for every game. Its easy to hop from one sim to another without much in the way of challenge once you've built up game experience. Not so much hopping a different war, time, and battlefield in the real world, it'd make your head spin changing those up, doubt that experience can ever be captured, certainly not captured as anything but bits and fragments for history. You can live and experience it yourself, but it will never play out in a game, don't waste valuable effort trying, what games can do good is extend and pretend with illusion. Do you have a good environment to create and design your own tactics and strategies to beat the machine within the parameters we're handed, that's as realistic and worthy a goal and as close to war as we're ever getting inside a PC.
  22. Thank you, your map is art, beautiful.
  23. The Anatolia part of Syria for some Turkish Phantom action, good old Cyprus flare up with a Greek intervention, phantoms for all.
  24. They do have Pico4 direct from Japan free shipping $338 to the US with prime, not a bad deal if your into those, they're going for more out of EU stores.
  25. If you haven't noticed in every photo of an E with the tanks off, the fuselage missile mount points are smoothed over, because they were never factory incorporated. You just lost half your missile attachment points, who has the better odds now.
