  1. I'll miss my #HOTAS / #HOSAS / #SIMPIT / #DIY #Discord channels starting next month.

    Anyone knows some alternative Spaces on #Matrix by chance?

    I'm aware of matrix.to/#/#hotasdiy:matrix.o channel.

    Edit: Getting somewhere: matrix.to/#/#aerospace-space:h

    Moving my 🤓 Discord space here matrix.to/#/#bekomotion:matrix shutting down there.

    Acronyms:
    HOTAS = Hands on Throttle and Stick
    HOSAS = Hands on Stick and Stick
    SIMPIT = Simulation/Simulated Cockpit

  2. Mission 01: Black Flag – Trying Project Wingman with my ViperPit

    This is Project Wingman mission 01 Black Flag played on a Linux PC with Proton Experimental, OpenTrack with the Neuralnet Tracker plugin and my DIY HOTAS / rudder system based on Arduino Pro Micros replacing the original electronics in my Thrustmaster FLCS/Cougar gear:

    I got Project Wingman on a sale months ago and I finally gave it a try. As an Ace Combat player I felt right at home. My initial experiment was with the XR glasses and woah that feels good in 3D and all but today I remembered that old Plasma TV in the basement. Got it second hand a year ago for dead cheap. Today I brought it upstairs to try it with the ViperPit and now I’m not sure what’s more awesome.

    Well, that is if I feel like burning ~470W on top for that thing but hey this is for very specific gaming sessions only anyway 🤷

    Guess I’ll spend more time in the ViperPit again 😀
