Re: Gyro aiming - mixed controls

It's been a long time since I had a system on which mouse input in D3 worked properly, so I can't even reproduce the problem. If you are using Mouselook mode, it might work with Flight Sim instead, but I guess that's not the issue. Regarding Krom's suggestion of merging the inputs outside of D3, the...

Uranium ores contain roughly 10^11 times less plutonium than uranium, similar numbers apply for neptunium.

Less used fuel actually produces less decay heat, as there are less 'hot' fission/decay products (uranium is only very slightly radioactive).

Well, they do have on/off switches, but you can only shut off the fission power. At normal operation about 7% of the power comes from decaying fission products and although that reduces quickly in the first few hours after shutdown just 1% is still over 10 MW heat to deal with.

An that's likely because D3 detects the z-axis, before you have a chance to move another axis.

This is the case if you don't have the z-axis centered during detection.
