  1. After the latest patch (2019-03-22) the position and scale of the Jester wheel is incorrect at 3840x2160 when "Scale GUI" is enabled in the main options screen. When "Scale GUI" is disabled the position and scale are correct. (see attached screenshots)

     

    I didn't notice any problems with other resolutions (I tested 1920x1080 and 2560x1440). Those resolutions don't apply GUI scaling as far as I can tell.

  2. 4K monitors are still in early stages, most are atill 30Hz in the value and mainstream teirs, with 60Hz and above being 4 digits before the decimal point in price.
    30hz would imply using HDMI 1.4 (either an "early" 4K computer monitor or 4K TV).

    DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 support 60hz at 4K resolution. DisplayPort 1.2 should be available on most 4K monitors, even early/cheaper models.

  3. You can have a 16K monitor... if you are looking at a gauge that is far away in the cockpit because of the head position and FOV (field o vision) and that gauge occupies only 100x100 pixels from the 16K resolution you will not be able to distinguish clearly what it reads.
    Higher resolution should help since, in a given scene, the area of interest which occupied 100x100 pixels at 1080p would occupy an area of 200x200 pixels on a 2160p screen (~4K). That's four times as many pixels.
  4. It was listed as a luxury tax when I imported a colorimeter from the USA to Belgium in 2010 then BTW on top of that, it was a bit of a shock at the time, I was expecting an import duty and BTW but it ended up costing a lot more than I had budgeted for.
    The "luxury tax" may have been an import tax based on the HS-code or the product description which was specified on the customs declaration.

    The VAT (21% for Belgium) is indeed calculated on the value of the package + freight cost + import duties + customs formalities.

     

    Sometimes packages from outside the EU aren't inspected at all and you don't have to pay any additional charges ...

  5. How they would actually enforce this I've no idea in this example of a software app - would imagine some goods would be far easier to enforce VAT payment than others.
    They probably won't for these kinds of cases. The main idea is to levy VAT for the country where the customer is located, instead of levying VAT in the country where the company is "established". Large companies like Amazon, Apple (iTunes) are often registered in places like Luxembourg so they can enjoy lower VAT rates allowing them to offer products at lower prices while retaining their margin. (and also enjoy other tax benefits)

  6. if I purchase your product while I am here do I pay the tax at the BTW rate of Belgium or be charged at the VAT rate of the UK as I am a UK citizen and paying through a UK bank/card? Is it done through IP addresses or where the bank account is as I have cards/accounts in more than one country, how do you ensure that the correct rate is being charged to the customer?

    In theory: "For a consumer (non-taxable person) = the country where they are registered, have their permanent address or usually live"

    In practice: probably the country in which the bank (or credit card) account was opened.

     

    Kids clothing in the UK has no VAT on it but in most other European areas it does have, makes it very attractive to buy gifts for the grandkids when we are back in the UK, so, if my wife orders online kids clothing from a UK shop to send them to Belgium, will VAT be charged on them too?

     

    These VAT changes only affect "Telecommunications, broadcasting & electronic services", not physical goods.

    From what I can tell this will affect Eagle Dynamics as well.
