In my day the standard college student drink was Jägermeister and I had too many occasions to regret it.

So, further testing tonight had surprising results... I think Tacview might be erroneous... posted this to the BOx forum...see below: OK, I did some further testing... I set up a quick mission, 109K vs B25. Set the maximum allowable start separation of 10 km. Labels and GPS on. The first one was the Arras map and I was getting the same results as before. Even though the in-game label noted 10 km between us, Tacview only showed 4 km. I tried the same scenario on the Stalingrad map and much to my surprise, the Tacview distance matched the in-game label of 10 km! I closed to 1 km and fired at exactly that distance and Tacview confirmed it at 1000 meters. We have just recently started using Tacview as a debriefing tool and this is how we noticed the distance disparity. I'm thinking that Tacview is erroneously recording the distance on the smaller maps. I will check it on Lapino to see if my theory is correct. If you want, I can link the tracks and acmi files but I doubt that you will be able to do much about it. 1st pic is Arras, 2nd is Stalingrad when I started firing at 1 km and the 3rd is the Stalingrad initial distance at 10 km. "I'm thinking that Tacview is erroneously recording the distance on the smaller maps. I will check it on Lapino to see if my theory is correct." Nope... distances are correct on Lapino. It may just be the Arras map.

While it apparently is good while flying, the Tacview revealed that the draw distance is still drastically reduced since the last two hotfixes. I posted this at the Il2 BOx forum here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/62466-game-version-4007-discussion-ju-87-d-3-in-4k-new-options-and-camera-controls-control-rods-dm-and-ect/page/11/?tab=comments#comment-961004 All of our squad has noticed significant loss of the aircraft draw distance since the last two hotfixes. We have been testing using Tracview to note the distance at which the contact aircraft disappears. The way we test is for the two subject aircraft to take divergent headings of 45 degrees and waggle wings when the contact disappears. The wing waggle clearly shows up in Tacview. Prior to the hotfixes we could see the contact up to at least 14 km. After the hotfix that distance has drastically reduced to about 4 km. Tonight, even though we all thought it was apparently closer to 10 km, in actuality it WAS 4 km. The visual impression was that they were much farther away than they actually were, probably because the visual size of the planes is much smaller than before. Many of us are about to give up on flying this product as it's much too difficult to stay cohesive and keep good SA. The ones with non-Nvidea cards have it worst of all. Please, please, please address this issue. My specs: Win 10, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.2GHz Memory: 32768MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Monitor: Acer Predator Z35P The images are Test 1 on 6-10-20 - 14 km distance, Test 2 on 6/17/20 - 4 km distance. These are my graphics settings. No Reshade, 3dMigotu or any other post processing.

Trying these now.

Hope it doesn't have some Spideyvid 19 on it.

I have this and it works really well: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wacom-intuos-drawing-tablet-small-with-3-bonus-software-included-black/6196636.p?skuId=6196636&ref=212&loc=1&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwOyh7aLm6QIVWx-tBh2GIwMlEAQYAiABEgKdqPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

So you use a mouse right? Pretty amazing.

I'd probably go for the BMW https://www.motorcycle.com/top10/top-five-motorcycles-5000.html

Well... maybe if you adopt me.

DCS is working with them Varjo Technologies Cooperations Highest-end virtual simulations by DCS and Varjo DCS World now supports Varjo’s human-eye resolution headsets, Varjo VR-2 and VR-2 Pro. Varjo is the Finnish maker of the world’s most advanced virtual and mixed reality products for professionals. Together Varjo and DCS offer one of the highest definition and most realistic experiences available in the ‪flight simulator market. With Varjo’s industrial-grade devices that deliver 60 pixels per degree resolution, the smallest details in the cockpit, including the smallest font sizes, buttons and gauges are crystal clear. In addition, the mixed reality headset Varjo XR-1 permits you to use your own hands as controllers, whilst flying in photorealistic virtual scenery using real-time chroma keying. Thank you all for your trust and commitment. We work for you. Kind regards, Attached Thumbnails A bit pricey though https://store.varjo.com/varjo-vr-2

I agree... skins look really good and the f%#kn "wet look" is gone! I wound up having to completely un-install the game and do a fresh install. Luckily I had done a complete backup of it before the update.

Gen, here's a couple of pics if you're so generous as to work on 127Tom's skin. I certainly don't have the time or inclination to do so. Also, be aware that the upcoming update may very well break the alpha layers.

This could be a major PITA: The devs have said that texture mods will have to have their alpha channels adjusted to the new renderer, so I suspect you´ll have some adjusting to do

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

One more... NPR's Tiny Desk is such a treasure... the first song here is a perfect example. It's another long one... skip to about 13:00 after the first song... another beauty: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/23/819094653/the-black-crowes-tiny-desk-concert

Always been a fan of Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Full disclosure... my eyes were drawn to Gabriela's crotch... I'm such a dirty bastard.... It's a long one but the first song is such a classic. https://www.npr.org/2020/04/28/844282914/rodrigo-y-gabriela-tiny-desk-home-concert

So... no haircut for 3 months... I'm hairy noon and night... it's a fright:

RIP Mr. Richard... shure like to ball...

No flak from me... I like the 80s / 90s Techno vibe This from them is also cool:

I'd certainly be down for RoF but I think the dedicated VR guys won't participate.

And more: https://airandspace.si.edu/stories/editorial/preserving-flak-bait-saving-doped-fabric Ingenious method of carefully removing the original fabric, re-covering the rudder with new fabric as a substrate and then laying the original fabric over the substrate and applying touch-up paint only where needed. I doubt that I'd have the patience to see it through.

We need John Belushi now more than ever ...
