I had the chance to play Flight Of Nova (https://flight-of-nova.com/) for the first time today. This was on my wishlist for quite some time now. Dived in blind and had no idea what to expect. 3 tutorial missions later: Oh boy… this is hard. I can ...

This is the raw presentation I prepared for the “Knowledge Talk on Sunday” for the Stellanebula Project by @Sciencekeeper@troet.cafe at [youtube.com/watch?v=wmaj-MyRkPs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmaj-M...

In 2020 I checked some old backup disks of mine and found to my utmost joy a copy of my former UT2003 installation. This is a Linux native 32bit build that is now over 20 years old. Well, LinuxGaming is hard because who can support 500 distributio...

Visited the abandoned silver/copper/barite mine in #Hallwangen, 72280 Germany. It’s a rather interesting one as it dates back to #medieval times and is still excavated by voluntary workers. The earliest record found dates back to 12C and the upper...

This is a first person demonstration of my DIY simulated home cockpit built on a budget: https://SimPit.dev It's design is based on a VF-1 Valkyrie cockpit of the Macross franchise - or Robotech as it is known in some parts of the world (but we...

Just finished my proof of concept to implement the FaceTrackNoIR (or OpenTrack) protocol into FreeSpace 2 Open on Linux PC. Apparently only TrackIR and FreeTrack (both Windows only) were supported so far. Still needs some fine tuning but I'm reall...

Stumbled over this X4: Foundations mod that adds some BSG to X4: https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/1167 Just taking the Viper out for a spin around the Galactica 😃 If you enjoy SimPit|s (or any home cockpit / simulated cockpit) ...

Programmed my Primary Flight Display over the last evenings. It's mostly designed to play Elite Dangerous or X4: Foundations so there is not much going on at the screen with Fly Dangerous. It was however a breeze to connect it to my SimPit because...

Crimped roughly 250 connectors and did lots of soldering. Still WIP but I rolled the first successful button tests!!1eleven Ignore the wobbling, there are almost no supporting frames behind for easier access to the wires. Originally noted at...

BekoPharm's Space Pew Pew Cockpit "Primary Buffer Panel" inspired by a VF-1 Valkyrie cockpit ( 🤘 Macross 🤘 ) Simpit on a budget mainly used to play Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen and plenty of other Space Pew Pew. This is work in progress. ...

🤓 Painted the button box, added more buttons and the LCD and set it to playing the BSG DRADIS animation[1] of the Pegasus just for show. The loop was created by David Gian-Cursio (https://www.gian-cursio.net/2016/07/battlestar-pegasus-dradis-scre...

Trying weird shit. The little one wanted to know if she could make a DIY controller for Minecraft. Yes she could. (The panel on the side is a mock-up for my own project - it was just nearby for a quick test)

Yes, this game does only support one gamepad. Single digit. This gamer doesn't care. Here have Headtracking and HOTAS in No Man's Sky. Vanilla. No mods. Thanks OpenTrack, AntiMicroX and MoldenGamepad ❤️ Mebbe I'll do a proper recording someday....

This is a css animation effect adding "scanlines" like on some old tv to my SimPit. There's also a tiny octagon grid effect laid over everything. I'm going for a VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) effect here like old electronics used to have it. It...

Did some space pew pew like it’s 1999. This is X: Beyond The Frontier. One of the very first space games using a “so called” 3D card. Haha, those crazy peeps at Egosoft updated it in 2021 to make it compatible with Win11 which means it’s basically...

I hacked a mod for X4: Foundations to get ship telemetry and targeting data to my "Primary Buffer Panel" via a socket. This is a demonstration of my simulated cockpit made from cardboard on a budget usually used to play Elite Dangerous now also us...

This is heavily distilled early gameplay of X4: Foundations, where I started another play-through slowly expanding my little empire with trade, side missions, station building, border patrol (loosing the the "Misfit", my good old starter-ship), a ...

This is a TEST. I'm perfectly aware that this game does not support widescreen|multihead (yet?) …or Linux PC at all. And yet here I am. Edited GameUserSettings.ini and Settings.ini in `compatdata/1646850/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Loca...

Playing some SpaceBourne 2 (v1.0.4), an early access single player title, that reminds me a lot of StarCitizen while also giving me Wing Commander vibes and yeah, there seem to be even X-verse elements (but we don't come to that today). A sandbox ...

I didn't use my Steam Link for some time and was kinda surprised by the new UI in Big Picture Mode. And also very unhappy because it was a stutter feast with buffer artifacts all over the place. Once I could get a game running it was butter though...
