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.

I have a Chuwi Minibook X and the keyboard is amazing. Its the best smallest keyboard available anywhere, I can type on it just as easily as my other larger laptops. I think there must have been something wrong with the reviewer's hard

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 files it can generate an equivalent repre

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, and reverse engineering. But it is also easy to get started

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 started learning Android, I ended up writing a VT100 emulator

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 just got in the way and slowed X-Plane 11 down with an

The C64 had such a tiny amount of memory, you could probably easily sync the entire state of the machine over the network :)

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 it refreshes the display constantly with the latest values.

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 get the original FS4 w

Yes, you can hide the instruments. But then it changes the projection and then nothing lines up across the displays. You need to hide the instruments on all or none of the displays.

This should be possible with any emulator for old school systems, like 286 with DOS, C64, Atari, etc. All you need is the ability in the game to "look left" and "look right" somehow, and tune the field of view for correc

It only took me a few days, maybe 20 hours total? ... I started this back in January but it took me a while to capture the videos and write it up since I've been reworking the physical frame to make the monitors fit closer. 1/4 of

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 your head at the exact center of projection, they look corr
