What do you think of the Corsair movie Devotion?
unlikely_spider replied to MADLOU's topic in F4U-1D
As a whole it didn't leave a very lasting impression, except perhaps for one scene which I told my wife was one of the most accurate depictions of aviation that I've seen in a big budget Hollywood movie. When they were transitioning to the Corsair, there was a short montage scene where the pilots spent hours studying the POH and memorizing the procedures, into the night long after their spouses had gone to bed. It was a welcome and stark contrast to the newer Top Gun movie where the pilots are all cringey, smirkey overconfident blowhards and the scene where Maverick introduces himself to the team and tosses the F-18 "flying manual" into a trash can. -
My feelings exactly. I am a huge fan of the F-14 as represented in DCS, but as someone who flies many other modules, would not make this purchase since other grips are much more versatile.

Maybe also check in the Services in Windows to see how many Meta/Quest processes are running when this happens. I noticed they don't like to close when exiting the Meta app unfortunately. I'm wondering if they keep stacking for you for some reason.

What speeds do you get with the cable when train in the Meta software? Have you tried either a different cable and/or a different USB port (assuming you're using link)? Edit - how about a slow DCS repair and deleting metashaders?
-
Video card drivers up to date? Have you tried repairing the Meta Quest Windows app by downloading and running the installer again?

Are you AGL or MSL?

Thrustmaster Warthog with FA-18 ?
unlikely_spider replied to Minskie's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
Not sure if we can tell you how to prioritize your spending. Some people collect grips and other peripherals. Personally I have just one stick, and have used it for a dozen or more modules, including warbirds, jets, and helicopters. I couldn't feasibly have one to match everything that I fly. -

You can map whatever buttons you need to so that you have access to all the important keybinds. -
Afghan War: "Szatan Arba" campaign
unlikely_spider replied to YoYo's topic in Missions and Campaigns
I'll take a look at this, thank you. I assume most of the enemies' air defenses in this campaign will be of Soviet origin? Or is that not accurate? -

Trying to prioritize the targets that Petrovich gives me - what is a good resource for me to know what common ground units would be named that I am likely to encounter? -

Hi, I just downloaded this campaign. Do you happen to have the briefings in PDF or similar? -
Paradise Lost - is it doable with old engine model?
unlikely_spider replied to guitarxe's topic in Missions and Campaigns
Some of the takeoffs and landings are difficult, but i was able to complete the campaign recently and I'm no pro for sure. Make sure you note the wind direction. And you can exceed the safe parameters briefly if you need to. Some takeoffs do take a bit of coaxing sometimes and you need to get moving horizontally as much as you can first. For some of the landings, yes, you don't have to come to a hover first. Just get down in one continuous descent and arrest it as much as you can before touching down. -
No. Bricks can be used to build things.

Once again - I appreciate the "just don't use technology then" response to any criticism of current privacy practices, but that type of reductive response would not get you very far in any professional or academic field. But then again this is just a message board, so it's pretty much the level of discourse expected here.
