No, Sir. I don’t know what Gunsan Port authorities are talking about.

RE: 4.37 Screenshots
Thank you for the new formation training mission! Very helpful.
I still get scared when getting too close to my leader, though…

CH Pro Throttle DIY detent
Hi all! This comes from another post, but that one was about another HOTAS so I will put this here.
I made a fast and easy detent for my throttle using a magnet and a binder clip. Maybe is useful to someone else.
It was a temporary test that stayed. The binder clip is bent to use the smallest surface possible. It’s attached with two layers of double-side tape.
The magnet is attached with sugru. It was already there for another more complex and less useful detent I tried before.The magnet barely touches the binder clip.
When they are close, if I’m going slow they click (with a “click” noise) and attach but a gentle push allows you to continue. You can see in the gif the binder clip moves slightly when I push forward.
If you go fast you notice “something” but it doesn’t stop your movement. Of course if you make them being closer or use a stronger magnet you will have more attrition.Sorry for the quality of the images, I’m a bit in a hurry. Will try to make better shots at another time.
Cheers!

I fly with a keyboard and I can do it. You can too, I know so.

Hornet and Mig29 and we will have Falcon 3.0 again

RE: Pilot Helmet
I don’t think the mask is visible either. Maybe just a shadow when you look down, as when using a diving mask.
As Xeno said, I think sides and specially top might be more noticeable. In VTOL VR you have a top shadow when you have the helmet on. There’s an option to toggle it on/off.
But I guess the pilot’s helmet is designed with maximum visibility in mind.

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@Ferde OK… this is weird… I now have working checkboxes!
My hypothesis is that I briefly tried wine 9.5 and that maybe installed some mono newer version? Because I’m now back to 7.22

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@Xeno Good to know. My install works already with mono, although not the launcher boxes.
But that improvement will probably help with weapon delivery planner and helios and, as you mentioned earlier, even voice commands! -
RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
OK, I spent too many hours trying a new install and several ways of installing dependencies with no joy. If I have dotnet 4.8 neither the alternative launcher or the bms control server work.
Out of hope I’ve tried again my working install and run bms control in another way and this time it worked!!! It happened the same to me that some buttons work and others don’t. I guess this has to do with conflicting shortcuts with Linux? I will try rebinding those controls as you suggested to be sure.
Edit: yes, that was it. After rebinding the buttons that weren’t working I have fully working MFDs

@wsy Thanks. Will make some tries.

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@wsy Thanks. Curiosly I have it running without dotnet I thought it might be that.
Last question (I hope): Do you remember which version/s of dotnet you installed? 4.8?

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@wsy Oooh… good to know, thanks!
I tried it and got connection but no images on the MFDs and the buttons didn’t work either. If it works for you then it means it’s something I miss in my install.
What method did you use to install BMS?
