The Diesel Particle Filter Differential Pressure Sensor on my car failed, and lit up the check engine light. In this article I fix the issue and go through the steps!
In the summer of 2018, I built a VR-based flight simulator. The first version was just to just play with a computer with the yoke mounted to the desk, but I soon realized virtual reality would certainly add a whole layer of realism that would help train hand-eye coordination of flying a plane.
As a result I continued the project and added even more realism!
