I know it was considered once many years ago. If you were unaware, Steel Beasts Pro is literally for tanks what DCS is for aircraft.

Plugging for EZDIY-FAB fans. I bought a whole bunch of them and have been super pleased with them. Good price (about $10 apiece) and I like the design.

What happened to that thread? It's gone now? -edit Nvm, think I found it.

This completely disregards common sense and general thermal behaviors. Nope, you've pretty well eclipsed that. That's what really inexperienced builders with really poorly designed cases are doing trying to cheap out. A properly designed case works by channeling the cool airflow across key components and out an exhaust. Just like countless other machines in use all across society. High volume fans will be 30-40 cubic feet per minute. Assuming an average of four or five fans, you'll be flowing literally all the air in the room through that case every few minutes, which is going to be way more heat exchange than your ''leave the side off and hope for the best'' approach. It's really easy to test. Do a benchmark stress test or something, note your highest temperatures and overall average, then put your case together in even a semi-intelligent arrangement (intake at front exhaust at back/top) and it is guaranteed to be considerably lower across the board unless you do something really backasswards. What you're doing also will not work if there are high ambient temperatures, because even the mediocre dissipation you're getting will be reduced. Protip : If literally everyone does things a certain way, there's *probably* a reason that needs to be carefully considered. You didn't suddenly clue into some new concept nobody ever thought of before @@

Has the Open Beta Just Switched to OpenComposite?
Mars Exulte replied to Hempstead's topic in Virtual Reality
Yeah, I'm not one to rag them, but this clearly created unholy hell for a lot of people and was not officially notated until less than twenty minutes ago with a sticky finally... nearly a full day after release. Seriously, nobody thought a fundamental change like this needed to be communicated ahead of time? I wonder if we'll discover MT and Vulkan suddenly appear and people's rigs inexplicably stop functioning @@ It's just dumb. -
DDR5 prices in steady free fall...
Mars Exulte replied to EightyDuce's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
That's going to be different with each system, though, and takes ''fine tuning'' to the next level. -

Oi. Nobody knew this was coming? Might should've mentioned it, along with some instructions or something @@ ED's foot has so many holes they're starting to look like grid fins -
G" users - query regarding cable seating
Mars Exulte replied to markturner1960's topic in Virtual Reality
Hewlett Packard bollox, that's what. I'm pretty sure we bought a dead end product =D My Rift S worked great, just low res, flew a lot. Bought this PoS and it's been a nuisance ever since. -
G" users - query regarding cable seating
Mars Exulte replied to markturner1960's topic in Virtual Reality
If you poke around, you'll find a lot of people complaining about those cables (including me, I'm on my third, and I have seen at least another half dozen since then complaining about the same stuff). They are terrible. Expect to have to replace them semi-frequently. You can reduce this as others have suggested by running it in a way as to avoid stressing the cable at any one particular point. I looped it on top of my head basically, so it has a bit of extra slack, and if ''bottomed out'' through normal movement does not become excessively pinched or unplugged. But they do suck, and these are ''mitigation steps'' rather than cures. -
More early Cold War and the Hawker Hunter
Mars Exulte replied to irisono's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Cause he made it up five seconds ago based on the reports of an extensive sample of the community consisting of him/herself and one or two friends from WWII sims. That aside, wasn't there somebody making a Hawker Hunter around here somewhere? I know there's a couple of early planes (MiG-17, G91, F-100) in the works, I thought the Hunter was, too, but I don't remember who had it. -
You're on an entire forum that revolves around this sort of thing. There's a lot more than 12 pages of drivel to be found

This has Supreme Leader Admiral General Aladeen vibes to it, but I'll allow it.

Maybe, but cleaning the maple syrup off the stick is such a pain.

View system default FOV now at 78 instead of a realistic 60?
Mars Exulte replied to 85th_Maverick's topic in DCS 2.9
Which almost nobody does right either *glares at War Thunder* -
You should try Carnivores. Nothing like getting eviscerated by a velociraptor while you're hunting
-
No sign in required for me. Bear in mind that figure is not for the jets, it's for EVERYTHING including training, maintenance, parts, etc, over probably a decade+ also minus the outgoing CF-18s and their associated expenses plus they'll probably end up sold to 3rd parties that don't mind second hand fighter jets (likely with maintenance and training expenses tacked on, etc)

I watched some stuff about this, being curious before about Taiwan's general readiness. I got the impression they don't REALLY expect a war and aren't as prepared as initially it seems (lots of understrength units, paper armies, and poorly trained militia with questionable organisation). On the flipside, even if that's all true, amphibious invasions, even if the opposition is of erratic quality, are extremely difficult and obvious preparations would begin well before it actually happened, giving Taiwan plenty of time to prepare and for allies to shuttle into the area. Like, the only way it could feasibly happen is if it could be kicked off on the sly, which is not really possible, so the most likely ''war scenario'' is that it simply never happens. They would probably love to wrap up that loose end by force, but it's just not an option. Only way they get it back is by installing puppet governments and gradually eating away at their independent cultural identity. Of course, that all assumes everyone making decisions hasn't drank their own propaganda to the point they expect three days to a parade in Taipei or some such.

I was under the impression it's not getting a WSO. At least, not at first, because you can do everything from the pilot seat anyway.

View system default FOV now at 78 instead of a realistic 60?
Mars Exulte replied to 85th_Maverick's topic in DCS 2.9
It isn't though, that's the point. Heavily zoomed in is what is approximately closest to what you would really see. You refusing to use it is not even being a 'purist' it's just shooting yourself in the foot, or more to the point, wearing blinders. Zoomed in IS the ''realistic'' FoV. This isn't like a shooter where one guy has a scope and the other doesn't. This is both people have scopes and one of them insists on hipfiring because he thinks somehow it doesn't make him an idiot. -
I always thought it was developed BY MSI. Interesting. Sounds like they're intending to develop it on their own now, though. That's not how sanctions work. Kind of the point. I would suppose exactly zero countries are lining up to give away visas to Russians these days. Flights are not the hard part.

Your RL FoV is ballpark of 180'. Ingame with VR is usually around 90'. 2d varies depending on size of TV and personal preference, but it's typically 3+ feet away and definitely always wrong. So yes. Your perception of the environment and motion is very different from real life, because it is, in fact, completely different.
