Yes...that's why the cabin was pressurized to 30000 ft. If the cabin is at ambient pressure, then you're correct - we can't breathe much higher than that without forced air supply.

From what I understand, it was Windows 11 that choked on P-cores/E-cores of the latest Intel processors. It would schedule threads onto E-cores and then die if any of them MT with anything on a P-core due to the performance difference between the two. That ignores the fact the whole E/P core thing is just the dumbest idea Intel have had yet. Who the hell doesn't want max performance all the time? If you're that worried about power consumption, computing isn't for you. Gamers sure as hell don't want power efficiency as that is directly proportional to lower performance for a given piece of silicon. It's physics; not wishful thinking. The thing with this browser integration is it is probably trying to use E-cores because what websites need performance? Chromium wants to be efficient. This is probably where the problem lies. https://blog.chromium.org/2021/10/renderingng.html Huh...LOL! Uhh...yeah. Maybe read the docs next time? I found this after 10 seconds on Google. I wouldn't put this software near anything I was writing. Ever. This link: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/renderingng/ gives 404. That tells you everything you need to know about the rubbish state of this software! Junk. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/keuev4/frequent_crashes_of_chromiumbased_applications/ More LOL!

Well...it is April 17th, the DCS patch dropped, and no F-4. By HB's own statement, they are now into "an absolute worst case scenario" of May release, which given the reason it is delayed in the first place (a silly idea to incorporate a web browser into DCS, which for some inexplicable reason only blew up on test computers) really is not good. Considering they knew about this problem in December, and it is now April (four months later), I'm doubtful they will magically get it working in just 4 weeks time, especially as there is zero news about how it is going, that they think it is now fixed internally, or that it is in hardcore testing ready for release. I'm betting a minimum of two more months, or June. My biggest problem with this narrative is that no dev computer, or the F-4 demo computer apparently showed any hint of a catastrophic failure. I'm not entirely believing what they have to say about the problem.

Very cool! Thanks!

I will only get worried when/if you can no longer buy their modules.

How, LOL?!

In this case though, it was a monumental screw-up even Microsoft would have trouble matching. Core tech that has allegedly been worked on for at least a year, suddenly and unexpectedly breaks most systems on first test. Nope...don't buy it.

Play back the track and print screen as it runs?

Why would it be a problem in VR? It's only a problem if you use zoom to cheat. You want to try flying a real aircraft - the canopy isn't any better IRL.

You need to remember the AoA indexer for landing shows "on speed" in a +1 g condition when configured for landing AND ON APPROACH GLIDE PATH. If you are stabilized at +1 g on the approach path, and it shows the UP chevron, then you are too slow and need to add power. Sink rate will be high, and if you pull the nose up, you will just increase AoA and drag, slow further and steepen the descent, which will result in landing short if not corrected.

A very interesting discussion. I find it hard to fly online for some of the reasons mentioned by @zerO_crash. The big one is just "yanking and banking" and basically flying in ways that would get you killed in a real aircraft. I don't believe for a second an F-18 pilot wouldn't use all the g available if in a real fight against an opponent intent on killing him. He's going to max perform that aircraft to the limit to avoid being killed. Aerial fights, if conducted realistically, are like a game of chess. You maneuver not always to kill your opponent, but force them into an error, or create a window of escape for yourself. Sure, if the other guy is getting an accurate track and is shooting then "fight's on", but not every engagement works out that way. This is where the sim world is totally different - every fight is to the merge, if they didn't manage to kill you before then. IRL, pilots generally want to go home to their families.

I assume you're using one of the AA modes and not a fixed gun sight?

I thought it did? I need to try it again.

Despite the WIP nature of the map, it has some stunning views, and has great potential. Flame-out landing.
