  • Yeah I totally came clean, partially because I couldn’t really believe it - the bathroom I use is in the basement - but the vent goes out the same spot as the laundry exhaust and damn… I went and turned it on and it was clear over the block party :| everyone laughed :).

    Also live in a place where most sleep with the windows open - I don’t think it was ever in much doubt heh. I’ve got pretty cool neighbors.




  • Haha I used to. True story, my wife got me one in 2015 for my bathroom - built into the exhaust fan - I listen to the news while I shower in the morning.

    Six months later, over at the neighbor’s house across the street for a block party, and someone asks “Hey, anyone know who’s blasting NPR at 4am every day?”

    Turns out the exhaust fan taking the shower moisture out basically turned into a speaker cone and for months everyone on the street was waking up pissed off lol. Replaced with a regular fan and separate speaker, no more complaints.

    ? you’ve got interactions with the radio, map, gun comp, throttle, steering, all the parts of running the main gun… I see tons of opportunity and that’s before you add fuzzy dice and fancy keyrings and custom painting the beast lol

    You can poke your head out by standing up… whether or not the hatch is open.

    I’ve created a solution for this already. Well, two:

    one is, while standing up to look out the hatch is fun, it’s probably better a seated game. I put a collision box near the underside that triggers the hatch to open. it’s still janky (not interpolating smoothly) but that’s just details.

    the better way, imho, instead of standing from a seated position while wearing vr shit, which even with a quest is still janky in my experience, is just having a button to elevate the chair so they’re seated at the cupula rim. a quick fade in and fade out coming and going might help.

    but tell you what, if I can make this happen, you make your sopwith sim and we’ll jam’em together so I can light up your lovely canvas with the commander’s ma-deuce! :D would love to have that in both games, swooping bomb runs and minitanks lol
