That's why there's the Open Track IR or w/e package that works with PlayStation Eye cameras, because they do have an IR sensor.

No it doesn't. In fact, you have to remove the filter for it to even see infrared

Does any flight sim hardware do this? Seems like it wouldn't be worth the cost designing and implementing this when no other PC hardware ever uses something like this.

All the toggle switches on the X-55 throttle are momentary

A whole lot of the simulation parts are in TypeScript and WebAssembly, actually.

What's wrong with that?

WebAssembly is just a different format to dump native code into (from things like C/C++ and so on), there's even WASM versions of the Visual Studio runtimes.

You seem misinformed, WASM is a VM that runs bytecode.

Combat Pretzel posted:

And TypeScript gets JIT'd to native code.

And yet WASM only exists because JS wasn't performant enough, curious!

I don't need to see that any more than I need to see extremely realistic gunshot wounds in FPSs (also, we don't get those either, for obvious reasons).

I mean, have you seen Sniper Elite

TrackIR is fine, but it's pretty much the TI-83+ of flight sim gear at this point (obsolete technology that somehow still retails for $150)

I think since most people attach something to a headset there's just not a market for the hat thing anymore. Anyway we have discussed a lot of the alternatives in this thread (Grassmonkey, Delanclip, etc.).

the hat clip is great though, there's no cord or battery and it's basically indestructible

In April 2016, the ICON A5 purchaser's agreement was made public and was noted by the aviation media as containing many controversial elements not usually found in aircraft purchase agreements. These included contractually required pilot training, maintenance, agreements not to sue, the requirement for factory airframe overhauls every 2,000 hours or ten years (whichever comes first), and a limit on the aircraft's life of 6,000 hours, or thirty years. Furthermore, each aircraft would be equipped with a camera and recorder to monitor pilot behavior, that is owned by the manufacturer but must be maintained by the owner. Owners would have to agree to be "supportive" of the company. Future owners were required to sign the same agreement or face penalties.

I think what would be even better is if buildings and trees would show damage and there was an option to see all of the crashes and damages all players have caused all over the world.

I want to fly through a burning hellscape.

I relapsed into WT lately and it's shocking how little has changed (to the game modes, there are of course new vehicles out the rear end)

Aren't steam games supposed to disclose AI usage now? I don't see anything about it on the store page. Pretty lovely if you ask me!
