  1. Because it is a 3 dimensional world, so you can judge distance. Size can then be determined by comparing the object relative to your own size, accounting for the distance from yourself. Things such as a galaxy are too far away to be able to perceive the distance as each eye will have an almost identical image and therefore the scale iis difficult to determine. This is a different scenario to dcs scale though.
  2. I am guessing you are referring to the A-10C? Its a known issue and related to the default view (and is not designed for VR). You can move your seat or put your head forward and then reset the view. Other aircraft should be fine.
  3. What do you have textures set to? I think this makes a big difference for gauge readability.
  4. If you are curious about VR, but don't want to shell out yet, grab a google cardboard off ebay. Can normally pick them up for 5 bux. Highly recommended.
  5. Would love to see a vid of it in use if anyone has time.
  6. Throw my name in the hat. Thanks bud, Merry Xmas.
  7. This is actually the cross controlled technique. You would have had to apply opposite aileron or you would have rolled towards the rudder and into the ground. It was probably so natural to compensate for the roll you didn't notice. In the crab technique you apply no rudder and fly in angled off from the runway like a crab walking across a beach sideways. In extreme crosswind you might even be looking through your side window at the runway. You then either kick it straight in the flare or if you aircraft is designed to do so, land angled off.
  8. That's because crab technique doesn't use rudder/sideslip. Your relative airflow is straight, you crab relative to the runway but remain 'into wind'. Cross controlled effect is called so because of this very effect of rudder. In crosswind if you apply rudder to straighten the aircraft relative the runway you have to apply opposite aileron to counter the roll thus: cross controlled. If you cast your mind back you were probably demonstrated this on your first flight as part of the "secondary effects of controls".
  9. Don't spoil the magic :) Finding out how AI perform, what they react to, what they don't and then modifying your tactics to account the weakness in the game code only spoils the fun in the long run in my opinion. Finding out how stupid they are lessens the satisfaction of defeating them. Fly against them like they are human. Leave the secrets of AI logic to the magician mission makers and keep the magic alive :thumbup:
  10. No, but it looks like Palmer does some helo flying in his spare time, so hopefully the sim market will get plenty of his attention :thumbup:
  11. A popular question. Check these out. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=137587&highlight=maverick+seeker http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=109614&highlight=maverick+seeker http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92593&highlight=maverick+seeker

    Dirt Rally

    Just thought I would plug this title as it deserves it. It has come out as an 'early access' on steam and is top notch. Essentially codemasters have taken the Dirt series back to the sim market which is pretty exciting for those that have been waiting for a rally sim for a long time. If you are into rally, I highly recommend it.
  13. Fixed now :) http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2229887&postcount=3
