  1. Some of my #FPV footage from last weekend's #DCS race in Aichtal

  2. I run a weekly community co-op event where we fly #DCS, most recently often also some #NuclearOption. Most recently we’ve been doing a play through with a rotary bent of a custom campaign I’ve been making together with @NeneExists.

    Here’s some screencaps from some eventful bits from last weeks flight ^^ Got another one coming up tomorrow.

  3. I don't think I've mentioned this yet but I've been using Fedora (KDE Plasma) as my daily for weeks now and it's been great.

    All the programs I use regularly or intend to use once I learn them better all run natively on Linux. All but a select few games work on Linux natively or through Wine. Like, there's quite literally no reason to go back to using Windows 11 and I am so much happier for it.

    The games I have not had luck running on Linux are #DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) and Escape from #Tarkov. DCS is a tremendous headache to get running. A friend of mine and I are investigating because it's technically possible to get working. I think...

    However, Tarkov requires BattlEye anti-cheat to function, which requires Windows. So far the Tarkov devs have said they'll eventually get around to implementing Linux compatibility but they've given no timeline and aren't great at keeping promises.

    With peripherals I've hit two snags.

    My #Pimax Crystal Light #VR headset does not work on Linux. I don't even know how to get it working, but as far as I can tell it isn't possible. Drivers and software are all Windows dependent. Pimax promised Linux support as recently as a few months ago but there's no timeline for when they'll actually implement that. From what I understand SteamVR is buggy on Linux but technically works (?) so idk how to proceed.

    My #MOZA #AB9 force-feedback base requires a piece of software called MOZA Cockpit to operate. And while I can open it just fine, the software doesn't recognize my AB9 base or joystick through it. This is despite the fact the joystick is recognized by Gamepad Tester online and through the terminal (Konsole on Fedora). It seems some folks have gotten their force-feedback wheels to work but I've seen nothing about my AB9 base, not even as a shifter let alone a flight stick. So again, don't know how to proceed.

    The only reason I maintain a Windows 11 install is due to Tarkov, VR games, and using my force-feedback flight stick for flight sims (like DCS, Il2, etc).

  4. #Landgericht #München verhandelt #Klage gegen #diskriminierende #Ladepreise

    Am Landgericht München wird seit dieser Woche eine Klage gegen den #Ladeanbieter #EWE_Go verhandelt. Geklagt hat #DCS, das sich durch die #B2B-Preise diskriminiert fühlt – und darin einen Verstoß gegen die #AFIR sieht. Das Verfahren könnte die ganze Branche beeinflussen.

  5. Last night had a first, I’ve been doing a challenge where I try to start up every DCS module I get without the manual or guides. This time it was the C-130 Hercules which is a very complex boy! It was also the first time I did this together with my co-pilot Nene, who also had no idea what we were getting into.

    Going for a minimal spoilers approach with zero knowledge to start off with - we got the engines running in about two and half hours, and the aircraft correctly configured and in the air in about four hours! Making for a rather chill and fun aviation hangout with the chat. Thanks everyone for being there 💕

    Here’s the recording of the stream m.twitch.tv/videos/2633777076 which I will later also upload to YouTube so it won’t disappear.

  6. Last community co-op DCS event I got to introduce a few new people learning to fly, as well as we did some coordinated dismantling of air defenses with the more experienced pilots to provide them with an easier target to learn on.

    There was some fun air to air combat opportunities as well as some good air to ground time to be had, so here’s a few shots from the event!

    Been also learning how to fly the newly released MiG-29A and discovering some new challenges with how to employ it on DCS as it was never intended as a air superiority fighter, but more to coordinate with ground support. The sensors on the plane are pretty dreadful and the HUD modes hide critical information when you need it the most, it’s certainly an interesting challenge :) Will be interesting to see if the recent fixes to the radar and IRST helped.

  8. I just created a new peer tube account and did upload my first video.

    @[email protected]

    I think I already shared that before but back in the days it was an unlisted YouTube video.

    Should continue learning carrier landings once again ...

  10. @paule Nutzer von Charge myHyundai und KIA-Charge haben die gleiche E-Mail bekommen, das kommt ja auch von DCS.
    Leider häufen sich in letzter Zeit die Probleme bei charge myHyundai (ständiger Log-Out aus der App, keine Preisinformation, Wegfall diverser AC-Ladepunkte seit dem 01.09, jetzt der Datenabfluss bei einem DCS-Dienstleister)...
    Hoffentlich bekommt man dort die Probleme in den Griff, der CmH-Tarif passt für mich sonst ganz gut.

  11. #DCS BINGO

    • Can your speed brakes hold their position or is it an on/off toggle switch?

    • Does your plane have a parking/emergency brake? Does it go in/out or do you have to spin it?

    • Does your plane have one, two, or three different buttons to fire your guns? Did you remember to arm them?

    • Does your plane have a drag chute, arresting hook, or reverse thrust? Did you bind it to your HOTAS before starting your landing approach?

    • Do your flaps deploy continuously or do they step up/down at certain intervals?

    • Does aileron trim exist?

    • Are your wheel brakes inverted when first binding them? If so, great! That’s the spice of life. :3

    • Do you need rudder, wheel brakes, or both at the same time to taxi?

    • Does your landing gear have a locking mechanism you forget exists every time you takeoff or land?

    I love planes.

  12. 🔙 Rückblick auf den P5 Kongress 2025

#NATO-1 Sunset Flight 🇫🇷 🌅 #DCS

  14. Well, this is it. I’ve achieved greatness and far exceeded my own expectations.

    #f16 #hotas #dcs #flightsim

  15. So flying the F-14 did increase my skill to fly the F-18 a lot. I am much more stable if doing aerial refueling and carrier landing got a lot easier.

    Also my survivability with the F-18 got much better.

    Edit: Seems like I was super tired when I was writting this ... So added some context via hashtags.

  16. Today was a bad day for Linux Gaming, at least for me.

    1. I wanted to play DCS: World with head teacking like always
    2. My system stopped recognising my Oculus Rift CV1 sensors, throwing all sorts of USB errors in dmesg
    3. I switched to the linux-lts kernel, which caused even more problems with the GPU. The graphical environment never showed up.
    4. Back on the regular linux kernel, I settled for a phone strapped to my head for head tracking.
    5. After two hours of gameplay, KWin crashed and failed to restore my open applications including the game.

    I'm done for tonight. 😩

  17. Happy to announce that I’m back in my hotel after a bout of #Decompression #Sickness (#DCS) AKA the #Bends at the weekend. We think it was the culmination of six consecutive dives over three days between 38m and 41m on the MV #Zenobia in #Larnaca in #Cyprus. Was transferred to the #hyperbaric #chamber in #Paphos General #Hospital for three chamber sessions and two nights stay. Sincere #gratitude to all the hospital and chamber staff who made me welcome and took care of me.
