So, I closed the updater while it was downloading since it stalled, and now it's just launching the actual game. It won't let me fly - I keep hitting the button and it doesnt do anything.
Same here. I quit and restarted the game and the downloads resumed.

Squirrel's tutorial 2 goes into detail about setting sensitivity and dead zones. Worth a look if you are finding stuff twitchy.

Vr comes with the release of the G2 Reverb. Plus you probably want a 3080ti for it.

What's the absolute cheapest I can get head tracking for? Preferably the price of a webcam?

It's funny because I had this same joystick ~15 years ago too and it's probably still jammed in a box in my parent's attic somewhere. It is pretty solid for what it is, it'd have to be if the design hasn't changed in over a decade. Joysticks seem hard to come by now, especially if you don't want a full blown HOTAS setup. I imagine the market for them was already pretty dry but with Flight Sim there's probably a big rush for entry level sticks like this.

Edit: I remember doing bombing runs in Battlefield 2 with it lmao

If you're one of the goons that got suckered into using NordVPN because of the somethingawful discount, about the only useful thing it can be used for is VPN'ing into New Zealand to download games early.

It's more expensive to buy the standard edition and then upgrade later. They have been very clear on this in their FAQs prior to release.

or just get a month of gamepass for a quid and change your windows region to a region where the game is already unlocked and there you go.

Ha! I didn't know this was possible. I bought the game on Steam because I was going to get all of the DLC anyways so I am going to have to wait.

The only thing I care about in the Deluce edition is the enhanced O'Hare aiport. Has anyone whose played noticed any big differences between the hand crafted and auto-generated airports? Is it worth $30 if I plan to fly out of there a lot?

Actually it would've been super cool if the first time you loaded it used your location services location to just directly drop you in your home airport on start.

I think they clarified that when the G2 launched it would support all WMR headsets, with other VR platforms coming later. People got confused by the other platforms and thought it was G2 only until later.

Any word on whether the Steam or Microsoft Store versions of this will bet better?

Is there a solidly better platform for this game or are they functionally the same?

There's an option in the main settings screen, forget exactly where it is but under cameras and there should be a section for external view. something around there anyway.

I think he said either in his tutorial video on controls, or in one of his streams this past weekend, that the streamdeck keys are bound to keyboard presses in the streamdeck software. So, not terribly difficult?

gently caress I'm sticking to GA, I couldn't work the A320 autopilot IFR and the Dublin controller kept telling me I was too low so I cancelled IFR and buttered the bread after only seeing the runway from 1000ft. I'm ready for if my pilot becomes incapacitated when people are allowed to travel again.
