Love how you're growing your next pit bit by bit :D

Playing for a while now and yes this is gorgeous and I love that I can experience my childhood memories again :D
regulations require electric vehicles to make some noise
Even that is so dumb already. I'm happy I can still disable that on mine (it's older than that regulation).
Yes I know about the straw argument of blind persons - which usually say that is not really a problem. A rolling car emits enough noise. Heck even bikes can be heard. This is really only for the benefit of healthy people that learned for years "cars loud" so they rely on their hearing only and often walk in-front of bikes too not expecting anything else but cars. And this has to stop. This whole focus on "cars" and "noise" - the "car brains" need rewiring.
More like "backwards-thinking".
…and ffs I hope this won't be allowed when the speakers are emitting to the outside. We do not need artificial noise on the roads!
Dead gods I wish we would stop calling everything a "Civil War" since Marvel. There is no such thing in a freakin industry.
A civil war is where real people fight against each other with weapons to the death!
Seriously this bs has to stop. This is NOT normal.
Yes. It's slowly growing. Did mostly programming of the HUD over the last weeks so there's not that much to show at the moment.
It's FOSS, of course you can 🤓 Fun fact: Most MAX players hate MAX2 to this day. The disappointment is similar to studios getting bought up by EA.

Disclosure: That's my baby. We're not very active any more and while we were self hosted for a decade the development shifted to GitHub recently: https://github.com/maxr-dot-org/maxr/releases (I know but I don't have the spoons for this any more so the active devs got to decide)
The sound design is also still next level :D Great shot!
Glad it worked 👍

Showing off new features for my home cockpit: Priority alerts, sounds and more status indicators

This uses my X4-SimPit extension for X4: Foundations, that sends ship telemetry via a socket to my node-red plumbing pipeline, which in turn forwards data to Websockets, SocketIO and MQTT. Various subscriber listen on the new messages to run blinken lights and my HUD app. I’m using the well known message format also used by Elite Dangerous so it’s compatible with that game as well.

Oh yeah… and on Linux PC 🤓
Let me know what you think!

Demo: FreeSpace 2 Open with head tracking from Viture Pro XR glasses IMU data
(discuss.tchncs.de)
cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/29574981
Until now I used OpenTrack with my DIY IR tracker or the Neuralnet tracker. I knew that my XR glasses feature IMU data though and the xr_driver of the Breezy Desktop project allows to access the data via IPC on Linux PC. So I did what Linux user do: I wrote a script to access the IMU data and forwarded it via UDP to OpenTrack:

This reminded me that I also wrote a proof of concept to implement the FaceTrackNoIR (or OpenTrack) protocol into FreeSpace 2 Open on Linux PC ( https://makertube.net/w/7VtfAjW7EiAUS5aiPwG7if ) so I gave it a spin to test the data bridge. That was smooth sailing!
The mod is Diaspora: Shattered Armistice, still awesome today: http://diaspora.hard-light.net/ (Warning: This may fuel a desire to re-watch the BSG series again 😀).
The bridge code can be found at https://github.com/bekopharm/xr_to_opentrack (pending changes).
It works with the Breezy GNOME xr_driver: https://github.com/wheaney/breezy-desktop (but the Vulkan one works probably too but that’s untested). It should also be compatible with other glasses that have IMU for Breezy available.

So… this is news to me, because I don’t have a VR headset, but I can set my Viture Pro XR glasses into SBS (side by side) mode by pressing the small button longer. Some games, like EliteDangerous, can do this as well without fiddling around with Reshade. I didn’t really expect it but it just works. This way I even get 3D on foot, which is not supported for VR in Elite Dangerous Odyssey at all! Side by side Crosseye mode (right eye left, left eye right) though? Add some head tracking to the mix, which is totally possible, and I get a very nice VR-like experience even on foot in Elite Dangerous – and on Linux PC!
This is the SBS version that does REQUIRE VR/XR glasses and mebbe something like xr-video-player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEtRijojBx8
This is the MONO version that does NOT require VR/XR glasses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYPTk1vygM4
The FOV is somewhat cramped. No idea if this can be tweaked any further but I’ll fiddle with the settings on my next test. Mebbe this can be tweaked (or I use #Breezy Desktop to zoom in somewhat).
Update: I got the aspect ratio somewhat under control. It’s not perfect but much better and an odd combination of window mode and resolution and upscaling, that somehow affects the HUD only but make no sense to me at all. At this point I think it’s simply a bug of Elite. It’s like the HUD doesn’t get the memo to scale up after the intro played. I’m also not sure if this is a side effect of gamescope but I can totally live with this result.

New footage with better aspect ratio framepacked, which MAY just work with VR (or fall back to anaglyph) – the YT FAQ is very thin on 3D content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWYYJTqnpz8
Update2: Haha it works! https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/2o5j30/using_google_cardboard_or_equivalent_kit_as_a_vr/ had a lead: It suggests to double the vertical resolution to get a proper aspect ratio with SBS and shrink the resulting window again.
That’s easy with gamescope:
gamescope -h 2160 -w 3840 -H 1080 -W 3840 –scaler stretch
e voila, perfect aspect ratio. Wonder if my GPU manages to keep this up though. May have to throw FSR into the mix.
