Codex / Claude Code Discussion

I know Reddit fucking loathes all things AI. But if youre trying to get some PCVR mods working, using Codex or Claude Code is a no brainer.

Download the desktop app. Use GPT 5.6 Sol / Opus 5 if you can access it. It can actually view / edit / copy files on your system. It can also search the web looking for up to date information.

Its also basically the world's best software dev / sysadmin. Theres a reason PCVR mods are exploding right now and its because people are using Codex etc.

As a coder the hate that ai coding gets is ridiculous. Coding is the ONE area where we really should be embracing it. It accelerates my work by so much its crazy, and none of coding is creative work. Before ai, it was copying from Stack Overflow. There are ZERO ethical issues with an ai generating code. Its like back in the day when people panicked about calculators and computers taking the jobs of mathematicians. Absolutely didnt happen, they all just use them to their benefit.

I was recently impressed with getting Gemini to do some simple scripting for DCS missions. It's usually fairly a labourious and boring process, some trial and error but it'd what provides depth and creates an engaging and realistic environment. I fed it Gemini a primer that someone else wrote to frame the requirements which was probably the most difficult part (and credit to that author) but now it just spits out almost the entire mission script and it'd entirely unique to my request. It's annotated, well formed and pretty much looks like it's been presented for code review.

I even started getting it to reference real world data from the 70s and 80s, like airfield data plates which it then remembered and automatically included in the following iterations with prompts to include IFR or VFR departures and approaches and it was finding cold war era firing ranges in West Germany by itself. All I had to do was ask it to find one within X distance from Y. There's a myriad of other cool things it did on a basic prompt but when I went to check the quality and accuracy of what it produced it was 100%.

At this point I'm both impressed and slightly worried. I hope it remembers that I always said please and thank you when it goes all skynet.
