  1. Cute... yeah it's AI but still...

  3. Hmm... Preflight inspection? m2-res_1838p.mp4
  4. I just got the Pimax Dream Air SE. The visual clarity is AMAZING! Close to real vision. The FOV is narrower than Pimax Crystal and I assume the Crystal Light but I'm willing to trade that for the resolution. It came with the old style facial interface but they are sending a revised interface which moves eyes closer to the lenses which increases FOV. There is also new software and drivers which I have yet to try.
  5. So sad. He was the best of the ED crew.
  6. I'm pretty sure she was universally respected, liked and even loved. A real class act even though she said "It takes a lot of money to look this trashy". We lost a special one. This brings tears to my eyes:
  7. Gemini said this: Disadvantages of Turning Smart App Control Off Lower Security: Your computer loses an extra cloud-backed layer of defense that normally stops malicious or untrusted executable files from launching. [1, 2] Higher Risk of Malware: Without it blocking unrecognized software, you are more vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and sneaky potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) bundled in downloads. [1, 2] Difficult to Re-enable: On many system configurations, turning Smart App Control off is a permanent choice for that installation; turning it back on normally requires a complete clean reinstall of Windows (unless using advanced registry workarounds). [1, 2] Then said this: If you are trying to turn it off because a specific app is being blocked, tell me the name of the app so we can see if there is a safe way to run it without disabling your security. It brought up a long list of options which I won't post but they seem safer than turning Smart App off.
  8. These guys are putting together an AI powered DCS Mission Builder: https://dcs-mcp.com/
  9. Here's an undo button mod for DCS Mission Editor: https://snowflake.sh/
  10. A depiction of a QF-100D Super Sabre converted to an aerial target drone given the number 297. I have used a historical photograph as guidance for the appearance but I toned down the weathering slightly. Since the pilot can't be removed in game I have included a pilot with patches for the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron at Tyndall and a helmet with the gunsight emblem which normally had a QF-16 silhouette which I replaced with a QF-100. Custom drop tanks are also included with the smaller one mimicking the "RCA" remote control pod. I included an arg to remove the refueling probe but it might not always work. The file exceeds the size limits for UF and can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/42fjwxedfj6omdrm32in7/QF-100D-297.zip?rlkey=hjfyrome7bdgfsvwajzvg54dv&dl=0
  11. That completely sucks! As Mox says it might be a good idea to try some more detective work before pulling the trigger on a new machine. In addition to what Mox suggests, have you tried a System Restore through Windows? Maybe a clean install of Windows (hopefully you can do a backup of your files, etc. before a crash happens. You would have to do so anyway with a fresh machine).

    Nonsense!
  13. I think that's a pretty fair assumption . Supposedly, this is a completely new game engine so I doubt that anything BOS/ GB etc. will port over.
  14. Still learning it but It's nice to have another CW module. I just wish they'd match it with a related Warsaw pact module. The main issue for me is that many of the weapons settings are on the left / aft panel and hard to manipulate / view in VR, especially while trying to hold the aircraft steady. No autopilot. I've bound the controls to my HOTAS and just need to memorize them.
