Plenty but mostly snippets only. Nothing cohesive for a while (3 kids don't leave much energy for YT).

There is a project website: https://SimPit.dev (slow af, backyard hosted but ads and tracking free) There's also a PeerTube channel: https://tube.tchncs.de/a/bekopharm/video-channels I did make one of those dreaded YT Shorts (not going to do that again - that's just pain): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BoJHZQpK2Iw

Other sources may be derived from the project website or my blog πŸ€“

Mission accomplished 😜

Edith says: This is mostly because I don't have any icons for X4 yet. The HUD app (written in React) can switch that on the fly but I'm really not big on the gfx side and that's also a lot of hot needle coding going on. Currently also experimenting with Rive animations that are more suited for classic MFD applications. See this [unlisted] demo snippet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suik2_baUfU

Wasting away hours with Ostriv. Alpha/ea or not. It's not stressing at all, in default even very slow and can be paused. Goes great with an audio book πŸ‘Œ

Alas activity slowed down a lot recently. Which is not very surprising considering the dev lives in a freakin warzone :-/

It's really "the best" I found without going down the realism route.

Spent a lof of time figuring out what I want :)

…also huge fan of the franchise since… dunno… forever I guess?

I know, late for the party. Know what else has "seamless" flying from space to surface?

This tiny FOSS game here nobody heard of before: Pioneer Space Sim

Yes it is nowhere state of the art in looks but considering it's very slow development from what's mostly a one dev show I find that a lot more impressive.

Also yay for orbital mechanics.

ReadiBoard

Hm… not available in my area but I think I found something similar. Going to build a glare shield from this :)

Wonder what the product name of that foam board is. Looking for something like this atm.

Nice pit πŸ‘

Still "just" X52 Pro. For some reasons mine didn't break within 2 weeks like it seems to do for many others. Won't replace as long as it keeps going :)

Ah yes, I know the pain for Wine. Mine sometimes appears as gamepad as well and it's a pain in the neck to adjust that again.

Love the sticks tho!

X4: Foundations

Can relate πŸ€“

Only thing I'm missing is "real" head tracking. There is simply none in the Linux version and while I can map a virtual joystick driven by OpenTrack to each camera corner it's just not the same. Sadly this is not exposed via LUA or I'd have wired up a UDP connection by now. So this feature sadly works only via Proton. Still sticking with the native Linux version though. It's faster.
