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 ...

Oops... file names now changed.

Here's a link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mr9afeav4u3gvoa/AABlDus_gNS5DPZDOg_UNXopa?dl=0 I don't know why it wasn't in the Big Pack since I had it in my dds files... sorry. Since we are talking about a major revamp to the skins I'm not sure when there will be an update though.

I agree with EVERYTHING Ludwig says. My experience... Pitts S2b, Extra 300, Pilatus PC-7, L-39, Decathlon and Citabria. When I began aerobatics 4-5g sustained was my limit but after 10 or so hours I could sustain 6 easily. More than that I would fuzz out but it was not sudden and easily calmed by reducing G for just a few seconds. In the Extra we routinely pulled more than 9g momentarily. (I routinely had to do over G inspections of the Extra because they didn't re-set the G meter and I was legally bound to do it when I saw the meter pegged at 10G. Never saw any problems with the plane though... well, except for overstressed landing gear components... but that has nothing to do with Gs... it's tricky to land). I second what he says about negative Gs... it f**cn HURTS. That, I never got accustomed to. Bottom line, I think we agree that the way it's modeled is not correct... much to sudden for the GLOC in my opinion. "PS... as to the AIR COMBAT guys that take you up in a trainer and let you fly against someone else... great stuff... lots of fun, not too terribly expensive... but look up the safety record because more than a few of those operators have been involved in fatal crashes due to the aircraft breaking up from excessive G loading. Those are the companies that you won't find in business any more (spelled wrongful death lawsuit) which came after losing their aircraft." Good advice for anything related to flying. I would also suggest looking into a well reputed aerobatic flight school. Take an intro flight. The instructors are trained in how to assess the student's (passenger's) comfort level. They will gladly take it as far as you want (but if you hurl... you might be cleaning the cockpit 🙄...

No hurling?

Been saying this since the current GLOC came out. I couldn't believe how many people defended it as "realistic". They've obviously never exceeded 1G sitting in their gaming chair...

Looks like there might be an issue with the Nvidia plugin: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/60801-help-skinning-photoshop-alpha-channel/?tab=comments#comment-925291

Where are you putting it? For example the Alb DV goes: C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\skins\AlbatrosD5 I've not had much luck with the Nvidia plugin but I'm using the ancient PS CS2. I use a program called Dxtbmp for single files: https://dxtbmp.software.informer.com/4.0/ and ConvImX for batch converting http://www.mwgfx.co.uk/beta.htm (4th from the top in the list). If you attach your .dds I can take a look at it. You might be saving it as the wrong type. As I recall, there are several choices when saving with the Nvidia plugin.

Do you have any relationship with Douglass... 🙄... just kidding. Welcome aboard Sir!

He's gonna forgive those "syphilitic parasitic critics" and get rid of his watch "cause whaddya gonna do with time after ya bought the farm?"
