    That's a pilot :)

    cordite replied to Lenux's topic in Chit-Chat

    You mean the tunnel flight?

    I went off the deep end, and purchased the Brunner. YOLO

    I’m not sure they would’ve anyway. But the long time belief is that a patent troll was the reason that Logitech and M$ stopped making FF joysticks, yet that doesn’t seem to be the case.
  4. cordite
    It’s still on.

    Not sure about everyone. This looks a bit advanced for someone who’s not mechanically inclined.

    I know it’s slightly OT, but no one? I thought it was due to a patent troll too, but it seems that was more about rumble effects, and that didn’t really stop 3rd parties from using them. It makes more sense that M$ held the FF joystick patent, and it’s probably the usual “just in demand by a small but vocal minority, too small a market.”

    Perhaps, but if so it shouldn’t have anything to do with a patent. (I know you didn’t say it did) https://patents.google.com/patent/US5742278A/en

    Shots from ground forces is one thing, but I thought fighters shooting at bailed pilots is/was a war crime. edit: at least highly frowned upon. On the topic of being able to do that in game, we’ve had that conversation before; I’m on the side of “not necessary”.

    For Air to Air. Afghanistan would be a playground for Air vs Ground. And a more realistic setting for helis.

    The new cables have a signal booster which should resolve the connection errors. It also has a much needed on/off switch. They didn't change the build quality of the cable/headset connector, so you still have to be careful with routing it around the headset. eg. make a U around the side of the left speaker, and velcro it in place at the back. (the plastic clip is junk)

    The 80s

    What I’ve read about Komodo is they last a couple of years before starting to fail. He does have a v2 of the base, but it’s an awful lot of money to take a chance on. Otherwise I’d be interested in his Apache collective set.

    And then Razbam can use that as well.
  14. cordite
    FTFY. And never mind those jurisdictions that "outlaw" high end GPUs because they use "too much electricity".

    1rst choice: Afghanistan. 2nd: Afghanistan. 3rd: Afghanistan.

    Read through the entire thread, and i’m still not certain… Is wood supposed to be easier to make a 3d computer model of than metal?
  17. cordite
    The silence is telling.

    Your website says DCS native uses the laser pointer. It then says the custom Open VR plugin uses fingertips, which is deemed more realistic, but that it only works with certain aircraft. Which aircraft does the plugin work with?
  19. cordite
    So it’s a secret?
  20. cordite
    So which are the models that can be operated using index fingers? F18, Ka50, and what else?

    Thermal was the one who mentioned that. There doesn’t seem to be an official spec from Virpil yet. I cancelled for now. I may end up getting it later; what I really need is an Apache collective. And Virpil has shown an interest in that, at least.

    Tin foil hattery may actually be a use case for home use of tpm.
  24. cordite
    That’s just it, “improved experience/security” doesn’t mean anything. So far, I can’t think of anything the avg home user would need or want it for. Makes me wonder if they’re being vague because they want to use it for something they know people won’t like. As far as Bitlocker, why would a personal user want to use it? I don’t think we’re at the point where secret agents and criminals are breaking in to homes to steal drives.
  25. cordite
    They still haven't explained why the avg home user (Home or Pro license) would actually need TPM. Secure Boot doesn't require it. Bitlocker or disk encryption at home, what for? And Windows Hello, again why? "Enhanced security" means nothing, and is not an explanation.
