Some MAY find this interesting
I was going through and deleting old pics and found this.
Person on the left is a good old friend and sound engineer "Too Tall" (6' 6"), worked with a lot of high profile artist. We worked together a lot in IATSE Union. He's 71 now.
He sent me this pic prolly 10-15 yrs ago.
The person on the right is who he grew up with on the south side of Chicago, a personal friend.

Pic literally taken in the south side of Chicago at a bar they frequent(ed)

Aces High General Discussion / Re: New Way to Finance the Game
« Last post by AKKuya on Today at 03:40:29 PM »I have a grandson who is a 911 dispatcher. He had to take a lie detector test to get the job. One of the questions they asked him "have you ever had sex with an animal?"
Duh. We humans are animals. I've been accused with that name from many women in my past.

Aces High Bug Reports / Re: Stick loosing all mapping
« Last post by Wiley on Today at 02:39:50 PM »This one has been fairly long standing from what I've seen, as far as I know nobody has a consistent procedure for reproducing it.
When I changed to my new throttle, I had something similar happen. Just out of nowhere most/all of my mappings vanished a couple times during the course of setting it up. The weirdest one was I changed a button mapping while I was in flight, and everything on whichever control I did it on went blank. Axes and buttons.
Since then, my 2 rules for mappings are:
- After the session I make a change, take a backup of the Settings folder
- Never change mappings in flight, only in tower
Since I've been doing that, I haven't had a mishap with mappings since. I've had it happen as you describe as well, in between logins. Again, I've never seen someone show a procedure that can reproduce it, which really sucks.
The one thing with configuration on my setup that drives me nuts though is my microphone volume level gets reset at random in between logins. It's at the point I check my voice settings every time I log in. For my mic to work normally for people to hear me I need to set volume to full and boost to about 80%. If I log out and back in, it very often reverts to volume at about 70%, no boost. Sometimes, it doesn't. No idea why, but it seems to be something vaguely similar to the mapping issue.

Wishlist / Make "No Tracers" sticky
« Last post by popeye on Today at 01:28:29 PM »I'd like "No Tracers" to be sticky like "Salvo" and "Delay". I like tracers on for ship guns, but off for airplanes, and often forget to turn them on/off when switching.

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Page up/down and Arrow keys not working for pilot view positions.
« Last post by Wiley on Today at 12:25:16 PM »Interesting. I use VR as well, and here's how I set my centers for head movement:
- Put my head where I want my neutral spot to be.
- Hit ctrl-F4. Generally only need to do this once.
- move my head toward where I want the new center to be relative to the current center, hit F10. It sometimes doesn't move it far enough, don't exactly understand why, so I hit it as many times as necessary.
So if I want my head to sit higher in the cockpit, I hit ctrl-F4, then lift my head higher and hit F10. My head jumps up. THen I relax to the neutral spot I set when I hit ctrl-F4 and see if my view's where I want it. Adjust again as necessary.
This also works holding a view button. So you can hold any of the view button combos and move your head and hit F10 to move the center position in that direction as well. When a view button is being pressed, moving your head like this is all relative to the direction you're pointing. So if you're looking straight up with the 5 key, to move your head to the front of the plane, you need to lower your head, not move it forward.

Read the room and consider your audience.
Is she willing to put on a sheep costume?
