However it sounds like a bunch of trash cans in the back fell over when the plane touched down at 8:49. Does it really sound like that up on the flight deck?

No cruise-page on approach and no wheel-page upon gear-extension. One can't see whether the fuel-page is permanently activated, though.

I think they could use some practice RTB'ing with a heavily damaged LaGG-3 or La5, setting it down gently without ending up doing a ground loop on the rollout...

Gonna be a long wait until the 18th! Anyone up for some formation aerobatics in Multiplayer when this thing releases? I ordered the Steam veggie burger edition a week, but I'm thinking of getting a refund and going for what you got. Not sure. I did order a Thrustmaster T16000 stick though, should get it today. My FFB2 has a semi-broken POV hat and an annoyingly large dead zone, and the buttons on the base are dying, and it's taking the fun out of things. I tried out my buddy's 160000 and it was pretty nice. Pondering a Chinese knock off TrackIR. FS2020 isn't out yet and it's eating up my paycheck. I might take you up on the MP. But then I have to get headphones with a mic. "You want new toys, get yer azz to work, fella!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thaddeus_Darwin 40 Posted August 4, 2020 Have you looked at TrackHat...? I've been using it as a temporary measure for about five years...!! Never had any reason to move on from it.

I've got a trackclip pro, but the thing is flimsy and poorly made, plus the wires are an added source of annoyment. I think you have to use the cam with opentrack/FreeTrack instead of trackIR software then. I've modded my standard delanclip into wireless with 4,8v 4*AAA RC akku. Not a beauty but works great. These cables are really annoying sometimes. As I don't play with audio headset most the time I had to create this piece of hitech. 4 hours ago, marcost said: I made mine wireless, followed this guide: https://veterans-gaming.com/index.php?/blogs/entry/30-diy-wireless-trackclip-pro-mod-for-trackir/ Regards, M Nice, a little more professional than my creation.

EDIT: Just went and double checked since I don't want to give wrong info, from Delanclips website on compatibility: Compatibility Our Head Tracking DelanClip is compatible with all available software on the market.. You can use one of the most popular such us: FaceTrackNoIR, OpenTrack, Free-Track and TrackIR – where DelanClip can replace your weak Track Clip Pro.

I have TrackHat (based in UK) both in the Clip (wired) and Cap (wireless) version. The sets including the PS3 camera is 50 EUR (Clip) or 80 EUR (Cap). Works perfect with opentrack software.

dbzero 45 Posted August 4, 2020 4 hours ago, Dutch2 said: And while buying straight from the developers you are also free from Steam processes that’s eating CPU performance. Is it really that big of a hit? I have no real preferences. I pre-ordered on Steam, but can cancel and order direct. From what I can tell Steam does use a little CPU and memory, but in the overall scheme of things is it going to make a difference? I currently run a I6700K CPU, RTX2080, 32 gig of RAM and have a 300mps internet connection. I'm pricing out a new system with all the bells and whistles and its about $3700. I did see someone say to do nothing until FS2020 is released and then see. His argument was as follows: FSX might have preferred the 9700k due to raw frequency etc. FS 2020 might well not. Indeed, because a lot of the work is being done on MS's Azure servers, it could be that an R5 3600 or even R5 1600 is just as good as anything else. So for now I'm going to just hold off on the new workstation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does Steam actually chew on your performance? I tried to buy FS2020 on the MS site, but it refused my disposable credit card - I don't like using the real one on the web - and then it locked my account and wanted my phone number so as to text me a code to unlock my account. And that's before I even bought the game. Oh yeah, I want to send Microsoft my phone number.... Screw Microsoft. Steam got my money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
