Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 29/09/2026my first fully 3D combat sim was Air Duel, aka Dogfight, which I had to play with the keyboard until I saved up allowance for my first 2-button joystick in 1993 there wasn't as much difference between hardcore and arcade 210
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I successfully b̶u̶l̶l̶i̶e̶d̶ requested the devs of XWVM to make the game fully playable in 3rd person camera, which combined with the padlock view they already had, makes X-Wing look like an Ace Combat title sadly no word on hundreds of proton torpedoes or enemy boss squadrons 😜 121
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 26/09/2026good thing I had this perfectly good Dzus fastener lying around yay modular reusable assets 041
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 26/09/2026HOTAS controls in a sport plane? buttons are cheap and operating the autopilot, radios, and map without having to dig around in the panel is priceless 070
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Dzus rail switch panels because why not Viper throttle is a placeholder but the actual design will be similar 180

Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 23/09/2026this is the "airport" in question, 9Z9 Lawing it's a gravel strip next to a landfill, that formerly served a famous (now defunct) roadhouse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_... the X-Plane version is somehow more forgiving despite the tall trees on the northern approach 130
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 23/09/2026telescoping sun visors I want to animate them, but X-Plane doesn't support mesh deform animations (20 years of OBJ spec updates for nothing, apparently), so it will unfortunately have to be a toggle. 191

Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I for one like my sim cockpits to look grungy and lived-in. The factory-shiny look is uncanny valley. To that end, fingerprints, scratches, and crud on the LCDs, which produce shadows on the screen at night. 020
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 12/09/2026TCAS used for successful intercept ...wait that's what that's for, right? 160
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 11/09/2026the one time I finally pull this off and X-Plane decides to record at potato resolution for some reason... 1131
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 03/09/2026"that's illegal" they said "get the fuck out of my Bravo" they said bitch I'm flying at canopy height and I'm not even in ground effect, squawk 7600 0124
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 01/09/2026lazy, so just cloned the HUD from the Siluro project 0131
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 30/08/2026views looking forward from the front and rear cockpits (seats not built yet) the surface is glossy because there's not any material data yet visibility is really pretty impressive in all directions, this would make a great camera ship 1152
Subsapient 💀 @subsapient.bsky.social · 29/08/2026orange outlines are camera positions 3 fisheye self-inspection cameras (looking inward from fin tips, looking forward from ventral fin) and 1 nose mounted landing aid camera 071
