  1. I was able to spot my tanker 13 miles out on an early morning background. I loose it every time I look away but can re acquire with good focus
  2. Very happy with my reverb. little issue with tracking when face down clicking on lower console but work around is laying some white papers on my lap and on the dark floor under the desk. On the unrelated note, leave your copy of dcs on a non-windows system drive. On initial testing reverb pushed my already unstable overclock pc. with cloned copy of windows somewhat mixed up between the 2 NVMe drive. Although 2nd old NVMe windows has been reformatted the boot mngr got moved to that drive. I suspect it’s those left out little partitions that windows make on system drive. Long story short. i am now reconfiguring years worth of button assigning to all module that I own and voice attack profile.
  3. HP email saying it is shipped
  4. Mine is on the way also, I ordered on the 13th, serial is 932 so made last week 32nd week of 2019
  5. Still up on HP site, I pulled the trigger, not sure if I’m excited or worried about the wife’s reaction. Now regretting not buying her a gift on her bday last month.
  6. Dont have the reverb yet but I think if it is using a camera for tracking, you do not want to use any dimmable LED lights, it’s frequency can have weird sync with what the camera can see. Also back in my track IR sun light’s reflection on some surface gives off infrared lights(or at least the IR camera thinks so) So make sure light bulbs are not dimmable even the light switch does not have a dimmer.
  7. if you're new to VR and you play FPS Onward is a must buy.
  8. That is how I had mine set up for the radar elev. but gives me problem with TGP zoom. It stays zoomed in. Had to map them to buttons.
  9. If you have problem with tpod auto/staying zoomed in, remove radar elevation axis assignment and just assign up and down button. Took me a while to figure that out.
  10. Or you can uncage/cage while it is Sensor selected and it will somewhat boresight mode. Just got back to F18 forgive my terminologies
  11. try saving the track and replay it w/ vr off
  12. Get out of full screen, “alt + enter” and depending on capture software it’ll record just the video or the whole screen with filler on both sides.
  13. HP online store show in-stock couple of times this week. Still hesitant to order. Anyone get an improved version please tell us on this thread.
  14. Oh thats right, thanks.
  15. still having problem, no tv or tgp repeater on pilot side. track file https://gofile.io/?c=2S9kDG
  16. you all just made me realize I do not know what I am talking about, I'll shut up now. goodnight :pilotfly:
  17. It's mostly what I've been trying to say lol. I got ideas but don't know how to explain properly
  18. you do not need elevation value for everything, the one guy said that there is a hemorrhoid values that the system can factor in the calculations. you still get your elevation from a known elevation from a map/tgp with ranging/or a guy with a fitbit on the ground.
  19. that 1' above ground on your house is always going to be 1' above ground in that particular location of the house. the map has been mapped long time ago. and that "hemorrhoid" :lol: of the earth has been incorporated figuring out GPS coordinates. what is a bad idea is incorporating MSL to the equation because you cannot accurately get that value specially in enemy air space. like I said you cannot ask the airbase you're about to bomb what their barometric pressure at the moment
  20. well we agree on something, but going back to the under thinking, all you explained was ways of inputting a location which will then be converted to a point in space. go pull up a map. point your finger on it and you will see that the earth has been mapped with lat. long. and elev. a fitbit can even know where it was at. now one ask about bombing a highest point of the mountain? there would only be 1 point consisting of (lat,long,alt) that location, you may edit the elevation but you only wanna go higher to account for the building if there is. you do not wanna target below ground(negative)
  21. it does not care where the ground is. it just fly to that 3(lat,long,elev) dimensional point in space that you put. thanus can snap the earth to ash and it will still fly to that point(assuming atmosphere/gravity/etc has not change). it comes down to how far is that point from the satellite source from space.
  22. or you can reverse the process, ask clearance to land on the airfield you are bombing, ask it's altitude MSL, then dial your altimeter to that said altitude.
  23. you get a measuring stick that is the easiest way to get AGL, I know top of my head is 5'2" any where I go. MSL is for altitude, so everyone can fly at certain altitude regardless of the terrain. which will need specific atmospheric pressure reading at sea level per station which covers an area. you cannot ask that information from the airfield that you are bombing
  24. you are over thinking it. it needs elevation, it does not care if it is above ground or under the see. it needs to figure out how far is the target from the gps source from "space" you're target is on the ground therefore you do not need to know how high it is from the sea, much less getting the current atmospheric pressure to figure that out. the elevation above ground more the 0 feet would be if you need to place the bomb on top of a building.
  25. ASL is like analog way of figuring out your altitude. why go through all that when your goal is to get distances from gps signal sources. reading back the original post. it says "elevation" not altidute. it's is more like typing in an address for the bomb. lol
