Pimax new headsets
Look at @Lee's post directly above. Before you plug in the headset or install Pimax Play I would completely uninstall / remove WMR and OpenXR. I'm pretty sure that OpenXR was the possible cause of all the freezes I was getting in IL2. Pimax has it's own version of OpenXR embedded in Pimax Play. I used Revo uninstaller and also followed some Google instructions for Regedit and removing them. I think there is also something in Windows Settings regarding WMR. Google "completely remove WMR". @Labroisse & @Flyboy? Any recommendations?

"Incredibly restored footage of WWI battlefields as seen from an airship, one year after the war ended. Filmed by Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, a French Navy officer and a pioneer of French Naval Aviation. He was retrained to fly dirigibles (airships) which were crucial for artillery spotting, detecting sea mines, and anti-submarine warfare during WWI. For his service and actions, he was awarded the Légion d'honneur and the Croix de guerre. In 1919, just months after the Armistice, Jacques undertook a remarkable flight with a motion picture camera attached to his airship. He flew over the war-torn landscapes from the Belgian coastline to the French city of Verdun, documenting the unparalleled devastation. His footage captured the flattened ruins of places like Ypres, the flooded shell craters of Passchendaele, and the miles of zigzagging trenches still visible from the air. The full 78-minute film was lost, but found again in late 1990s. Footage source: • 1919: Aerial views of Ypres Music: The Sleeping Prophet by Jesse Gallagher RESTORATION ---------------------------------------- 1. Cleaned dust and scratches 2. Stabilized footage 3. Upscaled to 1080p 4. Colourised footage 5. Increased frame-rate to 60fps ----------------------------------------"

I doubt that Microcenter would have other quality rudder pedals such as MFG Crosswinds but the Thrustmaster ones seems a bit steep. Also, there are now better HOTAS sets than the Warthog out there (but Tariffs 😬) although it's still a pretty good HOTAS. Seems like a good deal and he will have good tech support from Microcenter. I sure wish there was one in my neighborhood. I have an AMD CPU Ryzen 5 and no issues so far. I couldn't make out the Power supply. Is it 850W? I would seriously consider upping that to 1000W and make sure it's, at the least, Gold certified. That 5080 is going to suck a lot of juice.- JG1 Recruitment

I have edited the "Objectives" thread which may help with the confusion about airfields.- Dayton Air Show Jun 21, 2025
I'm pretty much kidding but still wouldn't mind taking a peek.- DCS: MiG-29A FULCRUM | Pre-Order Video
Yeah, I'm really concerned about that. Yes, you can have your Big Red... 🫡- Dayton Air Show Jun 21, 2025
"In aircraft maintenance, the "hell hole" refers to a small, usually cramped and difficult to access compartment, often located in the tail section or under the aircraft, where critical components are housed. This name is used because the space is generally hot, awkward, and unpleasant to work in."- Dayton Air Show Jun 21, 2025

Blue Paw Print makes some well done 3D graphics. I do question some of the historical "facts" but still think they are generally well done. Here's the latest on the King Tiger:- Dayton Air Show Jun 21, 2025
I'll be driving in to Dayton from Columbus and should arrive before Noon. Hopefully we can do the AF Museum on Thurs instead of Wed. I've reserved a studio apt. in downtown Dayton. My flight leaves Columbus @5:30 AM Sunday so I'll be leaving Dayton VERY early Sun. morning.- FIF 2025: Battle Over Ypres Registration

Team assignments as of June 6 for Mission 3 This reflects the latest information available on projected attendance. Pilots who have been noted as not being able to participate in any remaining events have been marked as such on this spreadsheet. Just a quick warning. Team registrations will stop a half-hour before flight time. If you're not assigned by that point, you'll have to catch the action next week. Talk to @JG1_Kliegmann regarding access. We're currently expecting a full server tomorrow for Mission #3 of FIF. Team Commanders should prepare to waitlist any pilots or gunners who go over the server limit. Since FIF is dead-is-dead, slots will eventually open. If you have a decided preference for which side or which people you wish to fly with, please be sure to indicate that preference when you register. I will do my best to accommodate that preference. Otherwise I am mostly focused on achieving team balance.- Dayton Air Show Jun 21, 2025
Wed (Jun 18) – Air Force Museum Tour (free except for iMax) Thu (Jun 19) – Wright Brothers bicycle shop and museum (free). If there is time afterwards we can go to Carillon Historical Park ($14) which is excellent and well worth going Would you guys be willing to swap these dates? I'll be in Cowlumbus visiting my college roommate and not sure that I'll be able to get to Dayton until later Wednesday. The AF Museum is much more important for me to visit. Did you choose the Holiday Inn or the Hampton?
