I havent. Worked on a radar fire control system in. Many years. That being said. While valid during. The 60"s. And 70"s. And against radar guided missiles, i think with todays processing power. It would not work. Against. The latest radar tech. The range being short, ir or laser guided. Would be used, and the ground vs an engine. Would not be fooled. The abscence of radar controlled AA. Oh well, didn"t the serbs. Use that very effectively ? Those would have been, on the canyor floor. Anyways. Watched it. And. I liked it. I. Would say. Better than the first. Or as good.

So I"ve been looking. For awhile. Will go w destop mount for now with possible longer ( but not floor mount extension) have lookerd at virpil. Vkb. Etc. Any good recommandations. ?

Up and running since I posted last. Took some work. On figuring out the wiring. So now all control is via allen bradley micro 820 plc, the blower motor is a heavy duty 3 phase, using a vfd for speed control. Cost me less than half what the parts would have been oem, and then they would have just been the same cheap hvac components

As far as durabilty goes, I have never understood. Why all the damage you can do. Is to the roof of a building. That makes no sense at all

A good start. Some wiring and cleanup to finish. Right now. I will be using 4 or 5 contact inputs to vfd for some preset speeds. When i get my dp transmitters. and thermistors I will switch the vfd speed over to pid control using modbus. This will free up. Some relay outs which i will then use to replace my sprinkler system controller

So after replacing some cheap hvac circuit boards, twice, and seeing the price go astronomical I am retrofitting my Heat Pump/AC and Air handler with a micro plc, AB 820, a 3 phase blower motor, and a VFD. Now I have a basic idea of how the system operates, I can write a program using a PID block to control my fan speed, etc. As far as I know, the compressor starts and runs when heating and cooling is called for. I am not sure if there is a pressure switch for the fluid to control that on/off and pressure cut out safety switches to protect the compressor etc. If any1 has knowledge of HVAC operation, and you have time to do a short write up for me so I can program, plz do so.

It's a monitor. 43" huge. It. Is night and day compared to my 32" 4k screen. That I now use as a backup. Track ir video was very helpful. And my clip. Is rotated. So it is above my head. And it works great. Il2 vis is still lacking. But way better

A perfect post Vonrd ! I was just getting ready to ask people to post their TrackIR profiles so I could try them. I searched tir here and saw this vid Mine has been screwed up for a long time and I have tried different ones and tried modifying some. I think it has to do with the large monitor I got, and now I have it much better. Still prob some fine tuning to do but working good. My lines for yaw are barely seperated from center and go very high on the 3rd button, but that is what I needed to do to look at edge of monitor and get 180 left and right of screen. So, thank you for posting this video, if you are having issues, watch it and just do a set up to see if it improves your use. I would like to add that from my experience setting it up yest, I found it also very helpful to just about eliminate/slow down alot, the head roll. I have the cam mounted high on a 43" mon. Yet even on the 32" I had previously it always go all wonky. I did the set up watching this video, and like he said in there the head roll is not needed much reducing that was helpful in part of the behavior, doing 1 axis at a time on screen helped alot. I find now it is actually useable now in a reliable way. I still use the pause button alot in game. When I go to my gunsight w/ a tgt, I don't want movement. I also find it very helpful in setting up different view positions. If I pause, move all the way back and then turn back on, my view stays back, . When flying in formation ( trying to) If the lead is left, I pause TIR, move head left, un-pause. Leaves me able to scan around but with my head to the left side of the cockpit. Up, down, etc. On say a CAP, I'm on the deck, just over treetop. I pause, raise head, go auto pilot and scan using mouse normally. I now find I am able to do this now with TIR on, but I think I am still used to the mouse. I don't use the head fwd/back, and I don't use the up/down movement. I have a pause key set on my throttle buttons and a center. If I want to move head up to see over nose, I pause, use a hat to move head up, unpause and my view then stays there, unless I recenter to gunsight.

Haven't been looking. I got a 4k. 43" monitor. Best. Purchase I have made in awhile. My backup monitor is a 32" 4k. It did take me awhile to get the track ir cam to set right. Due to height

Today. @430 pm. PST. FINNISH SERVER. Duck, 110. Strikes. Caps. Etc. Looks like the mission will roll. @ 6pm. Pst. Ill be on by 430. And will fly after 6 also. Sometimes the new mission gives opportunities otherwise not present !

I'm not sure if I had already mentioned this..... I found an outfit. That sells watches. With various. WW1 and WW2. Warbirds as a face background. I remember an albatross. An fw190. Bf109. Ju88. And many other german and allied as well. I will post a link. When I get home. Cost. If I remember is @ 100. I'm just not sure which one or one's I want to get

So I have built. An Amd x5600 system. Still waiting to buy a vid card. Now has an nvidia 760. Functional but only limited to tanks on il2. It has pci 4. 3 or so m2 slots. I put in the gigabit aouros. M2 drive. Pci4. And if I update my flying computer. Then I boot this one up. And update it. It will have the update downloaded and installed before my 7700k intel w pci3 m2 drive does. Even though. I start comp up after I have already started updating my older one. Same ram in both but the pci4 m2. Is way faster

As many of you know I have had my game freeze up sometimes requiring a restart and sometimes reboot. Now this was only happenning to me when I would unpause my Track IR. I like to pause it, reposition head in cockpit , or scan with mouse in level. When unpausing it game would sometimes lock up. Well, I believe I have resolved that issue, so far it seems. Not long ago I started to notice that I was having issues using one of my hat switches on my CH pro throttle. I blew it off and used KB instead as the commands were key programmed to hat. When it happened to 2 more switch directions I decided to replace the throttle with a new ch pro. Since I have done that I have not had a re-occurrence of the game freeze, fingers crossed. I think it was an issue due to the board on the throttle going bad and being hooked into the USB bus, like track IR. I will update if this issue is not finished

what times ? I'm on PST

You fly on the finnish virtual server ?

The visibility in IL2 is something I wish was a bit better. At the memorial yest I was looking around outside my A6. I noticed 2 things that were neat. 1 is the P51's when they have a custom skin, have a different serial # than the default skins. The second I saw below and thought was cool relating to the 801 engine

Wolverines. For me. Family all from Mich. Anyone ever hear of Arnie Spanier. Sports talk guy. He used to play a machine gun sound if he hung up on you. He hated notre dame. One week he picked them to win. I used a pretext of asking about a penn state game. I was at work on the pa. I then told him. Hey I see ur jumping on the notre dame bandwagon this week..... machine gun sound!

Wulfy a new member ? Status ?

Have watched Master and Commander quite a few times. If I can't anything else I watch it again, always good !

So far on my new build Auros X570 Ultra MB, Ryzen 5600 X, 1TB Aorus NVMe Gen 4 M.2 SSD with solid copper heat sinks ( this SSD Screams ! ) 64GB corsair 3600, right now waiting on a video card. My 1070TI took a dump, got a 970 from a J30 guy that had 2 waiting on some kind of price reduction to get a vid card. I can't justify paying more for the video card than the rest of the system. Case is a CoolerMaster HAF XB EVO Lan Box

ok wondering I looked at mine prob going to buy a second one and make it right-handed

Does anyone know if they make a model for your right hand ? Or am I going to have to buy one and make it for right hand use ?

I don't know what all you need to move, but I'd be interested in buying your video card if you are selling, so I can get my new rig fired up !

SO I have Ryzen 5 5600X Gigabit X570 ATX MB 64 GB 3600 ram 4 X 16 1 gb Gigabit Auros PCIE 4 NVME M2 Drive ( COmes with attached copper heatsink ) Cooler MAster HAF XB EVO Case. Thermaltake PAcific 240mm Rad/block/pump cooler. Thermaltake 850 watt PS Have keyboards and mouse. WIn 10 All I need is a vid card. 3090 would be nice 2080 would be nice but I'm not willing to pay 3 times or more msrp for those so I'm in limbo. I have a Nvidia 780 in an older computer, I need to research if it will work and maybe try it out as a temp fill in

Hit me up if you see me online. I'm usually at practice tues and fly or tank most other nights on finnish when we don't have a squad event
