And also with you.

Badum tsssss, 🥁 “You should have seen the other……. tree.” Thank you! I’m here all week, tip your waiters!

An investor perhaps.

Ok, I’ve found the finger mounted clicky thing. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/186758-pointctrl-finger-mounted-vr-controller/

Not all ;)…. Right across (and I mean right across) from these (the above German planes). Sadly, these too are mostly the sole surviving samples of their respective models. Setting these planes right under Enola Gay must’ve been purely coincidental.

Unfortunately, to the winner(s) the spoils go. As luckily as I feel that I can go see these whenever I want, I also feel sad that they’re not at a museum at their native land.

I don’t have a clickable cockpit game, but it feels somewhat counter intuitive to me to let go of the stick and grapple with the mouse to click on a region in the cockpit. (Unless you’re lefty, or, you can use a mouse setup to be lefty). if I remember correctly our dburne (RIP) had a finger attached clickers that can be used for clickable cockpits, but don’t remember the name of the product.

Thanks @Feldgrün. I know about the beta testing from day 1 and did not choose to participate since my game/sim time is already limited as is to justify a true beta program participation. About the game, if I’m honest, I’ve never shook a stick in this game even though I treated VR as a kickstarter campaign and purchased Tobruk to support the team, so I don’t even know if there are many other issues with the game play or not. At this point though, I’m ready to start it as a failed kickstarter campaign. It feels the team’s “we can’t get a response from PiMax, that’s why VR is delayed” reasoning seems a bit disingenuous after almost two years.

I don’t get to visit their own/native forum and don’t know what the latest is, but are there any news on when/if VR may come in?

I knew it 🤣. Pretty much what @StoneChain said. Consider this, if the developer’s work is not up to scratch, or they mess something up with a game update, what kind of a motivation are they going to have in fixing what they broke with subscription model vs one time fee - subscription where they can stand to lose a lot, compared to - when they’ve already gotten your money and don’t care about appealing to you until they gave something more to sell you? Like I said, I wouldn’t be opposed to it.

Speaking of cash flow, I’m sure this to be an unpopular opinion, but wouldn’t be opposed to a subscription model a la iRacing.

Really exceptional build @Boomerang. Makes me want to go clean the garage so I can start working on my builds.

Coil split and high pass filter, nice! I know there are other train of thoughts on this, such as using welding torch nozzle cleaners and/or a set of feeler gauges (filed to serrated edges on one side) to cut nuts, but I feel a good set of nut files makes the job into a <5 min job if you have the nut cut at the right height. I usually buy bleached buffalo bone nut blanks from bitterroot on eBay and shape and cut them after frets are leveled and crowned. I haven’t tried Rustins, but I also use shielding paint from StewMac, which I believe is similar. I use bore oil for woodwind instruments and lemon oil interchangeably on rosewood and ebony fingerboards a little container goes a long long way, and does not cause any odors. I put several drops and wipe ahead of winter to moisturize the board(s). if you’d like to peruse, this is a great build of a distressed guitar. Dave Gilmour’s Workmate. https://www.tdpri.com/threads/completed-motor_city_tele-2014-build-challenge-gilmour-workmate.467557/ I’ve used vinegar, steel wool, tea combination on a Douglas fir coffee table I’ve made, but it was a bit darker than I would have liked, so I’d recommend applying a very light single coat and waiting at least a day before going ahead with more coats as it darkens as it dries. i would love to see the fully finished photo of the blue pearl, would you happen to have some?

Probably because to some of us it feels like a flight sim comes alive in VR. I, of course, want the fundamentals to be correct, but I feel if VR implementation is not handled in parallel with the rest, it will be an afterthought and will suffer because of it.

Looks great! I can’t wait till we start hearing about the software side of things when it’s ready to be shared.

Very nice @Boomerang! Really has that black pearl sparkle.

Happy Thanksgiving all

Very nice @Boomerang! Blue Perl would be my choice.

Nope. Not on any of mine. Work is kicking my derrière….

Looks great guys! Painting is the part I’ve never tried. I am generally worthless in finishes, so I don’t want to make it worse by attempting to paint. 🫣

I’m waiting for this to get some end user reviews. I hope G2 doesn’t die before that.

Just starting listening. Looks to be quite interesting listening. Thanks for this @Jason_Williams and @Enigma.

I think they worked on trusky, VR and visual update for the most part of the 3 years since Tobruk.

I was going to say “2026”. 😂

Uh oh. There’s an Anakin cameo? Got a catch up on it. Haven’t had a chance to watch after the first episode.
