(1) INTRODUCTION Hello, my name is BPT; I am an avid DCS fan and a hobbyist programmer from Australia, and I am currently in the process of conceptualizing, coding and testing TWO shortlisted concepts that have advanced to the POCON (proof of concept) stage for implementation into DCS and finally released as a publicly available mod. Their development is concurrent with each other. The pair, once complete, would introduce two completely new, unrelated technology systems, and and in this case, one is to do with target acquisition and guidance unlike anything currently found in-game, and the other is looking to implement a hybrid seeker-head not currently modelled in DCS; both have been deemed conceptually possible based on evaluations of what LUA can do and experimental POCONs exist for both projects.
(2) PURPOSE This effort is meant to have a three-pronged effect: to create 2 mods that I want to use myself, to explore and evaluate the possibilities and/or limitations the LUA API within DCS to see what is and isn't possible, and if it would be a good choice to use in other projects that haven't materialized beyond a concept yet, or don't exist in DCS. Finally, to try and create a small collaboration / mod team that shares the same vision and with a group vision of bringing conceptional/unmodeled systems, behavior and functionality not currently available through DCS or existing mods. Its nice when someone releases a new jet with a clickable, custom cockpit but they all tend to be the same thing: a usually-decent external model, complete with custom animations and sometimes new weapon models but under the surface, they are just a remodeled, reskinned F-15 with FC3 functionality, including the same simple fly model and the cockpit from the F-15. I want to start producing mods that could actually affect gameplay meta, create new options for mission designers, and I just love doing POCON; just proving something is possible is something I very much enjoy doing! (3) SUITABILITY EVALUATION This will be a thorough evaluation and whether pressing ahead using LUA to advance more of my theory-only concepts into working models that can be implemented into DCS, can be considered a feasible option. Hopefully revealed is whether or not a future project could be hindered by a LUA (or even DCS) limitation when already 10's (or even 100's) of hours have been invested into a project that is simply not possible to execute and destined to fail; its better to abandon these before you become too invested or waste too much time only to find out a technical limitation means its not something doable.
(3) VOLUNTEERING You don't need to be an "expert" to volunteer but being able to start, taxi, takeoff, fly and land the F-16 and/or FC3 aircraft (F-15 and Flanker, mostly) as well as use their weapons and avionics suite, with even just a basic level of competence would be the desired-but-not-required-minimum expectation of a volunteer interested in involvement with these projects. Testing involving helicopters has been deemed unnecessary at this point so don't worry if you cant fly/don't own one.
Everyone is welcome to volunteer but failing to meet this basic criterion could impede on your ability to be a suitable and useful test pilot, or fill another role if required (WSO, RIO, etc.) as the knowledge on how to pilot would be preferred, even in those roles. Age doesn't matter as long as you act in a mature fashion during testing. Any other project-specific criteria desired/required by interested parties will be listed in the individual project comment thread.

• Also, for anyone interested in these projects but are unable/unwilling to participate during in-game tests, if you would regard yourself as highly knowledgeable about DCS and still wish to have involvement, your knowledge base, being technical or trivia, would be of great assistance to development too:

1. technical perspective (like understanding LUA or just general DCS modding; 'tinkerers' absolutely apply as even if your strength isn't writing new code, you can definitely contribute to any troubleshooting/debugging efforts - even if you no longer play the game!)
2. excellent DCS-trivia-type knowledge (exactly which weapons are available on what plane by default, who has the 'strongest' radar, which aircraft can exceed Mach 2, etc etc. - you know the game like the back of your hand but you might not have any experience in coding or mod development)

Please express your interest as having a pool of players to make up the "think-tank" of a project and also to fulfill the role of test pilots, both groups required for operating, interacting with, testing, analyzing results and to be able to optimally tweak the systems based on code behavior and in-game feedback. Both projects are still within a brain-storming and input-friendly phase, both with working prototypes/POCONs for each project so now is a good time to join the teams for these projects; you will have a large amount of noted input in how you would like the development process to operate and progress. I'm currently writing up briefs for the two projects and they will be posted in this thread, as two separate comments so please reply to the comment thread relevant to the project you are interested in volunteering for - this isn't a hard and fast rule; I'm not going to ban you from participation if you express interest in the wrong place (hell, even PM me if you want!) but it does make it a lot easier for me to organize and manage.
(4) PROJECTS These two concepts - 'RAADAR-ECHO' and 'RADIIHOTRADGS' - were selected to advance to a project stage because they will rely heavily on DCS's integration of LUA - and a wide range of its capabilities - in order to achieve desired functionality and behavior as intended, so completion of these projects should offer significant insight into what LUA in DCS can do. Without the utilization of LUA, neither of the two concepts mentioned here could be modeled in an even remotely possible sense; the required functionality is just too advanced and cant be done unless LUA is involved, and the decision to to see if DCS's implementation of LUA could lend highly advanced behaviofunctionality to "new technology" mods was done for for three key reasons:
Firstly, to take advantage of a native DCS "system" when compared to other approaches, is the most likely to be workable on a practical level and be able to produce the wanted results in something like an advanced weapon system mod, as opposed to using another "system", like the Mission Editor and trying to create the same thing using triggers: eventually you hit a technical limitation and your idea becomes "technically impossible"; hopefully the limitations of the LUA engine in DCS don't preclude these two concepts from materializing into functional, publicly-available mods. The use of LUA is what provides access to enhanced capabilities and functionality to try and (re)create these systems and turn a proof of concept into a reality.
Secondly, these two projects were shortlisted from a long list of ideas on the backburner which are held back by standard technical limitations and would require a script-based system to function; these two concepts have been selected to advance to trial projects: they were chosen because they shouldn't be *too* difficult to create, and across the two projects, there's a wide enough use of different functions used in different contexts to be able to gauge the practicality and suitability of using LUA to create more of the complex and novel systems I have planned in a conceptual stage, whilst producing two high quality mods that I believe people would want to use.
Lastly, if I want to (re)create or emulate something complicated enough that it cant be achieved in the Mission Editor or the like, LUA would be the only option I try as I don't want any mods created by me to require anything that isn't common to a standard DCS mod: if any third-party addons/packages/HUDs/exe's are deemed to be required/necessary to bring a concept to life, it will be shelved in favor of one that doesn't, and until a new solution requiring nothing but DCS makes itself known.
(5) TO CONCLUDE It may be upto 24-hours before I am able to post the project briefs, as even though I am extremely busy for the next 20 or so hours then I'll have a good amount of downtime so based on that, I'm not going to rush writing them to keep them clear and concise to anyone who's interested in what they've read about here. Feel free to express your interest below as it gives me a good idea for numbers; please mention in your expression of interest if you have FC3 / F-16 or not - cheers!
I really hope their are some interested parties as this kind of development is slooooww with only one person (me! lol) doing all the coding and all the testing/troubleshooting, and I'd love to get these finished, polished and released.
Kind regards, -BPT

"I'm not sure if this is the right place to share, but I don't have anyone else to talk to about this.
I drink 2-3 times a week, mostly on weekends. I'm a 20-year-old guy and I can't handle it anymore. Whenever I drink a lot, I black out and can't control myself. I want to stop, but how do I do it when all my friends are drinking?
Last night, I went to a club with some friends and we left around 2:30. I waited for a train, but ended up deciding to walk home - which was 12 miles away. I got lost, called my friends but couldn't tell them where I was. After walking for 2 hours, I finally made it to the highway and called a cab to take me home. When I got home at 6am, I realized my wallet was empty, my jeans were torn, and I had bruises all over my body and face. For what? A night I can’t even remember?
I am happy that nothing bad happend but if I keep drinking like that it will only be a matter of time.

A few hours ago I clicked on a link from a fake postal service on my phone. I didn't fill in any information nor did I download anything, at least I didn't see any download happen nor did I click on anything besides the link. I called my bank and they told me that as long as I hadn't accepted anything with "MitID"(MitID/MyID is a goverment authentication thing, at least that's what I see it as) I'd be alright. I have NordVPN but I'm not sure that'll cover me. And even though the tech guy from my bank told me not to worry, I am still affraid that it'll get access to my bank. Are there any precuations I can take? What do I do? Can this transfer to my other devices if I want to transfer photos? Can't the malware(if there is any) not just remember my passwords for my authentication app(MitID)?

So I just started working as a Seasonal TA (temp) at my Walmart for the summer. My friend had told me that the position was surprisingly relaxed, and that team leads/management were chill. Plus I make more than my previous retail job. And he was right, working in the lawn and garden center is very relaxed, especially compared to my previous job.
That was, until about an hour into my second day. There were so many TAs in lawn and garden, so my team lead sent me to help at the front end for the next 7 hours. I only had less than 3 hours of prior training/experience on the lawn and garden registers, so this was quite a jump for me. I had experience with checking before at my previous job, but needless to say Walmart has a lot of differences in their system. Plus I have some bad anxiety that triggers whenever I'm put into checking positions, which is part of the reason I prefer sticking to, say, the lawn and garden registers if I absolutely have to do checking.
It was a struggle for me up front. I wasn't familiar with many operations, and team leads got frustrated with me for not knowing things that I feel I should've been trained on. I don't think any of them knew it was only my second day. I was fortunate to have other front-end people around to support me and answer questions that I had, but the whole experience did not sit well with me. I get extremely anxious even now just by thinking of the idea of being in a position like that again.
I think my plan going forward is to be more assertive with my team leads. Being assertive is something I've always struggled with, but I'll need to overcome. If I'm asked to sub in up front again, I think I'll tell them that it was rough last time and that I think I'll need to refine my experience on the register before going up front again. I'm not sure though; if this is a frequent occurrence then this might just not be the right job for me.
I don't mean to sound like I just don't want to work, or that I don't want to follow my team lead's directions just because I don't like them. I just get anxious in situations with high customer interaction and service, especially if I'm shaky with what I'm doing. Maybe this whole post was just a vent and that I should be more assertive or find something else. But I'm interested in what you guys have to say.

I have heard most ppl think Armstrong is the hardest battle in the game and they were stuck on jim for quite some time.But for me Armstrong wasnt that hard needing only about 20 minutes to beat him my 1st time.But on the contrary the hardest boss for me was sam who took me 2 hours plus to defeat him.so im really curious.What were the hardest bosses for you to defeat?

1:43am here, experienced few hypnic jerks but this one recently made my heart (or left shoulder) vibrate intense I stood up catching my breath. This scares me to the point I don’t want to go back to sleep yet. Hugging my plushie doesn’t help (late 20’s I need something to cuddle..)
Been 12 hours since I had the Pfizer BA 4-5.

Additional Information:
I did well. BC was cool but super expensive, Notre Dame ended up being my cheapest option. I was stupid and ended up writing all my rd apps in a week after getting rejected from brown. So don’t do that.

I’m only at about ~600deliveries, but for the first ~500 I hovered around 50-70% AR, and was even a top dasher back in March. It worked for me for the most part and I made about ~$20 an hour give it take $5 depending on the night, but when my AR would get to around 50% id start taking shitty orders, and it was sooo infuriating. After taking a month hiatus out of frustration, I came back to the app and decided to say f*ck it based off this subs advice. I’m about a 100 orders in, AR is like 30, and I’ve never been less stressed dashing. It’s like I’m in a whole new world.
I know I’m late to the party, but if there’s anyone else out there hanging on like I was, it’s not worth it.
