Great video. I already knew the 'how' when it comes to AoA, and what it is used for, but the technical 'why' knowhow really solidifies the concept. Curiously, more technical knowledge somehow made it more intuitive. As someone else mentioned, other videos either quickly glossed over it or skipped it all together. Thanks, I'll be watching the rest of your FA18 videos to see what else I can pick up.

This appears to be a modern immelman, or an inverted split S. The original Immelman was VERY different, involving using the rudder to reposition your aircraft for another diving attack
@RequiemsACTL
@RequiemsACTL Ай бұрын
Yep exactly. The original one was different because the guy was flying an Eindecker with wing warping....so I'll never believe this maneuver to be what was originally flown. The only thing in common that I would see is that they both achieve a course reversal.

There’s also the 2 circle vertical fight. One plane pulls a loop jnto the vertical, the other pushes the stick forwards, driving the plane into the ground. It’s important to eject first. With enough practice you can catch your opponent, boss, wife, family and kids off guard.

Why the hell that every time you guys put out an update it screws something else up? I tell you what, I am going on You Tube on every site and explain to people how much a pain is the ass this headset is. From having to restart your computer just to turn in on. Now the Eye tracking justs stops working which means I have to recalibrate, which means leaving game and restarting computer, now my batteries are only lasting an hour. Oh and the little bracket that holds your head strap to the headset will break it's a cheap little piece of plastic, It's like putting a Fiat motor in a Roll Royce, The Fix? Take a hacksaw blade and cut a slit in the actual headset. This is not me folks. I have had this headset since day one. You want to make me happy? Send me a new one. I will not send you this one until I have a new one in hand because I do not trust you, I never did get my free lens you promised when I was one of the first 500.

@RequiemsACTL
@RequiemsACTL 2 ай бұрын
No, there's no specific binding for that as manipulating the fuel system isn't what they originally envisioned the gameplay including. Manual control of the fuel system was being developed at one time in the last couple of years but I'm not sure if they've continued working on it.

Thanks for all your videos, really saved me for the Duck and other BoS and BoN planes, hoping to see your ME 410 and Mosquito videos soon. I see you also fly the Mosquito in DCS, how comparable are the 2? Like if I use your DCS videos for the numbers (like rotation and landing speeds, boost pressure settings ect) will the 2 match up do you think?
@RequiemsACTL
@RequiemsACTL 2 ай бұрын
The Mosquito in Il-2 is not modeled correctly which is why I haven't made a video for it. Simply put, the turning tendencies for the Il-2 Mosquito are backwards. After my reports were ignored about it as a beta tester this motivated me to make a video for the DCS Mosquito instead. All of my videos are what I think of as being "sim agnostic" because they're always based on an airplane's real life manuals and performance figures, so if you fly the same airplane in different sims they are still a good reference.

About the cable pulling the head. My solution is to press the cable between the waist and the back of the chair, and then pull up a little (not too much, just a little). In this way, as long as your waist is not too far away from the chair, the cable allowance can always allow you to turn your neck freely.

Thanks Tony, for me coming from a small amount of VR experience getting used to this definitely had a learning curve. Once I had everything sorted out though the experience has become much more streamlined where I can just turn the headset on and start playing, but the hard part is just getting to that point where it's all set up how you like it and that took a long time for me. I'm with you though, by the time VR technology becomes more accessible and cheap enough with excellent all encompassing visuals is when TrackIR will be a backup for the simulations we use.

The Crystal has significant stability problems as you mentioned. And these are not only because the Crystal is still relatively new. Just getting Pimax headsets to reliably startup and connect has always been an issue for the entire life of the company so far. It's amazing to me that Pimax still can't even get just turning their device on right after all these years. Pimaxians will make excuses for these problems, but there is no excuse when even basic stuff stays broken for release after release after release. The problems you've mentioned are not all of the problems. The workarounds you found will work for some other people, but not everyone. You'll also find over time that your workarounds will stop working, and you'll need to discover other workarounds instead. Pimax's software is the weakest part of their product. It has gotten a little better over time, but stability is still clearly not a major focus of the company. It continues to shock me the stuff Pimax is willing to release in a broken state and leave broken for months or years. And yet the Crystal has the most beautiful visuals available for PCVR on the market. It's great when it works. If you can get it to work. And this is a roll of the dice. Some people have been lucky and had few problems. Others run into all of the problems. Just don't buy a Pimax product expecting smooth sailing. For myself, I've been running a Pimax 8KX for years. I was able to get it mostly stable, and it's been a solid workhorse eventually. I purchased two Crystals and returned them both because of too many critical problems. I'm waiting for Pimax to fix their most major issues (like their half second of audio latency) before I may try again.

For those of us in Canada, Winwing stuff is WAY cheaper than any other sim hardware. I paid $331 CAD all-in ($240 USD) for my Orion 2 F15 throttle (took 5 days to get to me), and it will cost me the same for the F16 stick. That's even cheaper than the now very outdated TM Warthog. I currently have a VKB Gladiator NXT stick (cost me about $230 CAD) so I'm not looking to upgrade currently. Virpil stuff (to Canada) is more than double the cost...way out to lunch.
