Some argued that the new requirements were to protect cars from theft.

Car thieves: Oh noeeees… anyway 🤷

Wish I had a HOSAS for such games too :D Alas that X52 Pro is persisting and refuses to break so I can not really justify an upgrade.

Nice 👌 Was just updating today (a lot, not just SC) and had some serious trouble to get SC running again but in the end it started just fine. No idea what it really was in the end. Tests were inconclusive. Mebbe I should start over with a fresh prefix someday.

true that :D

Meanwhile the headphones industry: Hold my beer.

Good to know that the Virpils work. They are totally on my list as a replacement device when my current gives up.

My head tracker did cost me 5 EUR and is made from cardboard 🤓 Any dead cheap webcam can keep up with the required FPS with good settings and a proper filter. I say this in case no Playstation Eye is available any more. The cam is perfect for this, of course.

I attached a quick demo and the more important settings here: https://social.tchncs.de/@bekopharm/108317573758997762

This is how I built it: https://beko.famkos.net/2021/07/08/diy-headtracker-for-gaming-on-linux-pc/

Think you have to configure the sticks on Windows. Don't think Wine can do this. That's hearsay though so YMMV. Mine are software anyway or just work™.

TrackIR API works. I demo this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7n4hwABJFU (it's also on PeerTube but our instance is bust atm)

TrackIR hardware does not. That's a blackbox since v5. Tobii hardware does AFAIK not work but this may change any day. Some people started hacking at this again and again.

Also do check out the StarCitizen LUG and the helper scripts: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper

Haha yeah, it's amazing what you can get when throwing lots of money at something. Or not. 🙃 I just love highly individual simpits and the creativity involved.

Right, of course 🤦 I had the sign up address in my password db in the username field 🤦 Thanks!

Zitadel says my username doesn't exist 🤔

Did you purge old accounts or something?

Doing this in reverse all the time. Stretching games on my triple head setup to full size. It's the same principle. If the game doesn't offer it kill it with gamescope, Wine virtual desktop or if nothing helps a completely virtual display that overlays your current:

For some editing the config files directly works wonders. Looking at you Unity!

Oh btw that'd also be the point where I'd pour money into this. That's my sweet spot xD

CIG may gift us an API

So say we all =)

Yesterday I attached the display and built a temporary stand. First time it stood on it's own. Some tight corners there that will be a mess to wire up later but I'll manage. I still can't believe that this long cooking project is finally taking shape :D

Have some updated pictures attached.

KiCAD is good and has no vendor lock-in.

There are very good beginner tutorials and videos explaining typical workflows.

It features also stuff like auto-routing, error checking, part lists and 3D previews.
