Flyboy

Is it pronounced like Buddha? I remember years ago talking with Bodo control when flying in the polar region.

I remember the T-38 had two ejection handles on each side like the F-5 and was 0/0 (capable of safely ejecting on ground at zero airspeed). Hawg flew the T-6 and sent me this: I know some guy pulled on the ground, years ago because he went off the runway at low speed. Procedure wise that was one of the reasons to eject. He did ok, those seats are 0/0. Now what happened on this one, I’m not sure. We don’t remove the ejection pins until we are about to takeoff and put them back in when we are taxiing back in

My FO showed me this last night. Pretty scary and very similar setup on our airplane. The ramp can be a dangerous place and you have to be very careful.

This is sad and not sure how it could happen. https://apple.news/A0c2c6ZeTTPW1dv0bPaf6bA

I've got about 1,700 hours in full motion flight sims (including as AF instructor) and have never had a problem. I know if they aren't synced right it can cause problems and I've also known people to get dizzy and feel worse trying to fly it with the motion off because of the disconnect between the eyes and body (my wife tried it once with the motion off and lasted about 2 seconds). The AF museum here in Dayton has a full motion "play" sim that even goes upside down that I tried with my brother (one of us flew and the other operated the weapons) and I was ok with that too. The professional sims have a whole crew of maintenance techs to keep them tuned and working, so not sure how a home motion sim will fare over time. We have enough problems keeping our systems running smoothly without adding another expensive layer of complexity like this. There is a place in Columbus (https://takeflightohio.com/) that gives you an airline sim experience in a full sim, though I don't think it has motion. There are also places around the country you can rent a professional aviation sim for an hour with an instructor (including here in Wilmington on B-767 at ATSG/ABX Air), but the price will prob be $600 or more an hour depending on airplane. I know there are a lot of FBO/small aircraft training facilities that are using sims (with and without motion) but they won't be as good as the bigger stuff.

Only 4k

I’ve been using switched condition quite a bit the last few months and haven’t noticed a problem (yet).

Yes and have never had a problem with it before. I was trying it with it both on and off and was still causing problems until I undo a lot of settings I had tried from the vr setup link I had posted. Seems to be working ok now so fingers crossed.

Worked fine in IL2 and vr home. Only happened in DCS

Has anyone had this before? With my HPG2 when I would start DCS it wouldn’t align right which caused left and right eyes to be out of focus. VR centering wouldn’t fix it and one time the diff between headset and laptop display was 90 degrees off which was very sickening while in vr. I finally had to undo some changes I had made previously and put the vr on and remain fixed and still while starting DCS which seemed to help.

I AM SO EXCITED!!! Amazon just released a new series Fallout based on the game. Fallout 4 is one of my top games of all time, and in fact I've been playing through it again for the third time, this time on my PS5. Previously played on PC, PS4 and VR (though was disappointed in the vr version as controls are way too cumbersome so didn't finish). We just watched the first episode and they did a fantastic job with the atmosphere, props, etc. Even down to the first aid kits on the wall, the stim shot devices, tv's and even some of the classic Diamond City Radio music tunes (I have those songs on a playlist that drives my wife nuts if I play it)....all like you're in the game. It's a different story line and location but it's all there from power armor, Brotherhood of Steel, ghouls, and of course vault dwellers. I'm hoping next episode to see some bloat flies

Spudknocker. Sorry I should have posted the whole thing.

Here's another thing I'm trying by excluding everything DCS from Windows Defender and my antivirus program (Bitdefender).

Not sure how much time this really saves by time you first load up the map in the editor, but it might help with potential crashes when getting into a MP server?

Just ran across this vid and looks interesting. Started to follow but I didn't have the P-cores button option though I have an i-9 with what looks like 15 cores. From the comments it looks like the suggestion is to split the cores, put DCS dedicated on half of them and all the other processes on the other.

Worth sharing your input. At the end I suggested the module most needing a refresh is the Mig-21 https://forms.gle/RD1xBvNNDYuYVgrw7

We saw it also and I have read all the original books and seen the other movies. I have always loved sci-fi stories and never thought this type would have interested me until I was forced to read the first book for a Sci-fi literature class I took in college. This movie series is by far the best adaptation and even kept my wife’s interest (due in large part by the talented Timothée Chalamet who we also loved in The King and Wonka). There were a few changes from the book I think, especially at the end that I’m not sure about. So I’m currently rereading the series.

Btw I was slightly damaged, Winchester and low on fuel otherwise would have been tempted to give a proper greeting

Saw this in the pilot parking lot today
