    I agree. The keyboard is fantastic, it is the best smallest keyboard I've ever used. Debian 13 works out of the box and there are no screen rotation issues.

    You need to use https://github.com/smurfix/buildscad which can convert OpenSCAD to Build123d, then you can export a STEP file. It has a few limitations, but for simple OpenSCAD fil…

    The people who build proper home cockpits inside real aircraft, especially interfacing with old aircraft hardware, are always very impressive. This takes a lot of time, dedication,…

    I loved the original Glider game on the old Mac. Back in 1997 when I was in undergrad I made my own port using ASCII art to run on the VT100 terminals we had at the time. When I st…

    Unfortunately I don't have any more space below the center monitor to put another display :) or it gets in the way of the yoke. I tried to fit a smaller LCD display in there but it…

    The left and right FS4 instances are paused at startup, while the front view is the master. The FS4 renderer seems happy to have the XYZ HPR values overwritten behind its back and …

    I built the set up in January to work with X-Plane 11, which I wrote up here: http://www.tinmith.net/wayne/blog/2017/01/immersive-flight-s... But I wanted to see if it was possible…

    Actually the projection is correct, but the camera is not exactly at the center of projection, so it appears that the lines are bent across the monitor edges. However, if you place…
