MrChips posted:Honestly? Talk to Westjet. They *might* let you into one of their sims for a session, but understand it will be a) very expensive (likely well north of $1000), b) probably at a really odd time (like 3 AM on a Tuesday) and if they will in fact let you in, c) potentially a LONG lead time to your sim date...as in several months. OK I just got a message back from a friend in Westjet Flight Ops...no sim rentals to anyone who isn't working at a company with a valid Air Operator Certificate. So unless you start an airline Slidebite, you're out of luck.

So flying with goons was a blast today. I also managed to put a bit more time into flying the Mi-8, here is a picture of my Mi-8 after attempting to cross into South Ossetia and forgetting my de-icing systems. It went well, all things considered. Not pictured is the opposite rotorblade missing it's tip.

I'd like to test more human-JTAC scenarios. I took one of the Combined Arms missions, stripped out the SAMs and AAA, added more player aircraft spawns and JTAC vehicles. We can attempt to move the friendly armor...  ...into the objective area where they're vastly outnumbered, with the help of JTAC fire missions.

I had more fun for however briefly you were guiding me as JTAC on your edited map than I did on the whole Suse map. It seems like there is a ton of potential there with player JTAC

The Suse mission seemed well suited to the Ka-50, I think the A-10 was a bit overkill seeing as there was a ton if helicopter escorting. I had a lot if fun either way, but for Suse I was in a Ka-50 and flew a Su-25 for the second one.

At least sub sims have been made on an infrequent basis. For surface ships your options are like, Dangerous Waters and... Dangerous Waters. I just want to drive an Arleigh Burke man is that too much to ask?

If you want modern sub sim, it's dangerous waters or 688i Hunter Killer which is just old and obsolete dangerous waters. ethanol fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Apr 28, 2014 |

As far as sub sims, there's Sub Commander, which is still very much in alpha, but free.

I enjoyed SH5 with a ton of mods that made it pretty good. The graphics mods really helped making it immersive. It's pretty cool to be out on the open ocean with waves splashing on your sub and poo poo.

If you're just wanting a high fidelity tanking sim without the aircraft modeling Steel Beasts now offers a pretty reasonable subscription model.

Hello, I'm the one man who cannot stand god drat Track IR. Either my head is loving with the signal or something, but it isnt properly registering about 30% of the time, or I'm turning my head too far or some poo poo, but its erratic performance just ruins the experience for me. I wanted to introduce myself, because I cry on my hat switch every night.

Is there a window behind you? If so it's likely sunlight mucking it up. It might also be that if you're using the TrackClip with the LEDs they're overlapping. Either way go check the camera view in the software to see if there's any obvious issues.

Naah, it isnt that. I'm gonna try and mount the reciever offset to the left side of my monitor to have a better view of the headset's LED's. I've just had the reciever centered this whole time which frankly probably hasnt helped!

e: ^ Oh well there you go. Dummyhead. A window behind you or a bright light source is a cause. You can try rotating the TrackIR itself. I use the Track Clip Pro (TM) and since it's on the left of my headphones, the TrackIR is literally less than an inch from falling off the left side of my monitor. The TrackIR itself faces slightly inward but it's pretty much 99% pointed straight out. Open up the TrackIR program and gently caress around, pay attention to the head and the head it sees, seeing if there's somewhere you have a blind zone. FreeTrack's terrible but I don't think TrackIR's program has a feature to let you literally see what the camera sees, FreeTrack does. Use that to see if it's picking up other light sources or if your LEDs are just getting obscured. I found with my TrackIR any further towards the center when turning left the middle LED would become obscured and tracking went out the loving window.

Track IR software has a cameras eye view that will show your IR sources, and what it thinks is your hatclip/trackclipro It will not show you an actual image, but if you have some other IR source causing problems you can see it, and it's also more then enough to center your camera on the targert.
