I liked playing baseball but watching it bores the heck outa me. Now I saw something called banana baseball and the few snippets of video I saw made that look really interesting.

Tried my brothers Pimax Crystal with the eye tracking foveated rendering on. Tried to see if I could tell the res was less where I wasn't looking. I could not tell. Don't confuse this with the sweet spot in other headsets that are sharp only where your head tracking in pointed. They are not the same at all.

My question is will anything be done over the bad behavior? Are threats now acceptable? Will we have to post armed guards against the terrorist threats?

Installed AH after flying DCS for over two years to compare. 

For those interested, the Pimax Crystal runs AH very well using SteamVR.  I could have run OpenComposite to eliminate SteamVR and get better performance, but it was not necessary.  Coming from a G2 in AH to the Crystal is a great step up.  Nice having edge to edge clarity instead of a sweet spot.

When I took my first flights in AH (only in the P-51D, P-47, 109K, 190a8, I-16, Spit9, and Mossie) it felt like I was stuck in mud with regards to control response.  Then I remembered about the deadzone and damper settings.  Adjusting those settings all the way down on all axis made a noticeable difference, though it still feels a little sluggish in all the birds, especially roll rate.  Flying DCS has trained me in a lighter touch on my controllers due to the responsiveness of the flight model.

The "bones" of the different flight models are all there in AH (left wing dropout in the P-51, 190a8 dropping out on either wing, etc.).  What I found surprising was the amount of warning AH gives you compared to DCS.  The stall horn and buffet really hit you over the head before the aircraft departs controlled flight.  There is little chance of an accelerated stall surprising you.   

The nose bounce issues came rushing back to me.  Kinda like sitting on a big rubber ball while taking aim.  I remember having to stick scale to tone down the bounce in AH.  All in all the gun platform is more stable in DCS than AH.

Tracers are also more of an aiming distraction in AH compared to DCS.  That is why I always played AH with tracers off.

The AH flight models blow Warbirds and WarThunder out of the water as far as responsive feel.  The DCS flight models are more responsive than AH, but the difference is not as great, with the exception of ground handling, taxi, and takeoff.

On a side note, another surprise for me was how the size of the cockpits in AH are very close to each other in VR.  When you get into a DCS Spit9 in VR you feel like you have to suck in your gut to fit and a 190a8 feels palatial.

Does the pimax use fresnel lenses?

I swapped those out in my vive pro for the clearer Sony gear lens mod

Is there a mod for the pimax to do that do you know?

Does it have the frontal space for glasses?

One of the oldest sports in the U.S. starts today. Cincinnati opened up the MLB in 1869. Plus this year marks the 30th Anniversary of the infamous strike that cancelled the 94' season. I personally think that the MLB always leaves the small teams hanging and will always help the huge teams like Atlanta, LA, Chicago, and New York.

I do have some optimism that my Reds will pull something this year instead of being ridiculed with a prediction of 74-83. But to all the players who have their favorite baseball team may they either win or have a decent day of baseball!

gvers may not like it,  bomber pilots may not like it,  regular folks may not like the endless furballs, base takers may not like it.

what you want is force people to fight in furball lake for a day.

The horror!!

It's called variety..something the majority of us believe this game needs

I think semp would argue over the color of the sky if you let him..

Cap & Lazer, there is an ignore function here on the BBS. In game you have the squelch function available.

Personally, I get along with both you. Not to say you don't get my dandruff up on occasion. We all pay our $15.00 a month to play the game the way we want to, with in the parameters Hitech has established. Enjoy it and be tolerant of how others play.  :salute

 am having frequent disconnects too.  I did a ping plot.  Just as the next hop enters texas, there is a huge packet loss.

Smaller map with more action would force numbers down?
