Re: Force feedback?

Whoa, haven't posted in this thread in a while. Not sure about op but I've made some progress in this regard :p.. here's my (now retired) hot rodded MSFF II. I made new gimbals, shaft/grip modeled after a typical modern sailplane stick/grip, mechanically counterbalanced in pitch. It's about 30cm in ...

Re: Condor 3.0: what do we know so far?

As far as I can tell having rewatched that video posted 6 months ago is that C3 is 'releasing in 6 months' lol, and that people that bought C2 during that period will get C3 for free. Would be nice to actually know what defines C3 and I'm sure I'm not the only one that's curious what is different fr...

Condor 3.0: what do we know so far?

AS the title suggests, I'm curious what are the known changes from C2 to C3. Not expecting anyone to divulge new info or trying to divine release date just trying to create a space where all the knowns can be found in single spot for those that are curious, myself included. I'll try to keep this op ...

Is there a glider-themed board game available that accurately captures the thrilling experience of flying, allowing players to strategize and navigate challenges like adverse weather conditions and air traffic control?
the game Chutes and Ladders could be tweaked to fit this role

Re: New Meta Quest 3 VR Headset

You have to use revive and steam. There are quite a few posts on this forum on how to set it up. I would not recommend it, however, it adds more layers into the system and it does not perform near as well in my experience. The link cable will be the easiest and most performant, otherwise use airlin...

Re: Quest 3 -- "Error initializing Direct3D"

Hi, have a Quest3 too. The Error about Direct3D appears normally when you start Condor without Oculus Software. My Setup wellworking is: Open Oculus-Software on PC, start Condor and setup flight till "join", then start Quest3 , start airlink in quest3, when connected go to Desktop and press "join" ...

Not a Zuni, or a Zuni 2! Those have a distinctive arrow shaped/swept horizontal stab.

Re: While we work and you wait, lets play Name That Plane

Yes indeed, and that record stood for like 13 years.. unseated by the mighty Sisu 1a piloted by Al Parker, now hanging in the Udvar Hazy. RJ-5 is at the NSM these days I think.
