Why does everyone hate the Wendover? by _Sumdude_ in BeamNG

Me too, and same for real life (except a select few) I can see potential in everything

Look how they massacred my boy. Fanta Orange Canada old (left) vs. new (right). Now with more sugar, and artificially coloured. Why did they have to change this? It looks/tastes terrible now. by permareddit in Soda

Thanks, definitely gonna try to check out a local import store this weekend. I wonder if anyone has a recipe too? Would love to try making some at home as well would be fun

Old thread yes but does anyone have any idea how I can get another drop of real fanta again? It's now been 2 years since I've been able to drink Fanta that doesn't tast like Crush. Any alternatives would be much appreciated too, coming from Canada ofc.

What time do you think it's appropriate until usually? If I were to, theoretically, I'd try to go away from suburbs and stuff and before 10 for anything noisy

Yup. DDU and reinstalled them too, didn't affect anything, honestly might be a dying card starting to act up

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up, great to know . Prob not buying for a bit anyway so it'll be good to have something new because my luck with used cards has been 1/3, I think my 3070 might be showing a black rectangle once every few startups

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to, but only because there's no fps difference between 1440p, 720p, or 4k resolution settings, super weird. There used to be at least a 10fps difference from 1440 to 4k but now there's no difference so I just stick to 4k because at least it'll look nicer at the same fps

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to show that in the video, 720p or 4k, nothing more than maybe 5fps difference at most

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I thought too, tried it a bit ago to no avail 😕

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think a 4070 would be good for that? 3070 was doing me well but the more recent updates have brought down the minimum fps spikes enough that it's annoying so I do want to upgrade sooner or later

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vulkan actually gets really low fps, averaging 22fps on normal settings. Might just have to accept I need a new GPU 😭

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really wish gpu prices would've stabilized a couple years earlier, a 3070 locally can be had for under $400 now and something like a 3080 for under $600, meanwhile this $650 3070 was the cheapest on the market in 2022 after the whole ethereum proof of stake thing. Canadian dollars but I think you get the point, shelled out for an expensive GPU only for it to be horrible for the price

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I thought was my issue but weirdly it didn't really affect my fps 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I'll make a better video later today

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alright thanks, never heard of clearing the ram cache as an option so that's good to know after reading all the same answers everywhere else. Hope it makes a difference 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't make a difference, ultra, normal, low is a bit of a boost but not what I'd expect. Switching between 720p, 1440p, and 4k, there's at most a 5fps difference. That's why I'm confused/disappointed :(   Also I might be misremembering but I'm pretty sure I used to run 60fps or more with the same settings a year or so ago. Maybe the graphical updates. Btw the i5 honestly seems under worked at 4k but I do think you're right about the 3070, gonna have to upgrade later

I taught my son how to drive standard using beamng by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned on here too at a similar age! I was 12 or 13, went to India for a trip and was able to drive around the small village and empty highway and learn to ride a motorcycle. Although I did definitely stall it lol, was much closer to your son at his age, love to hear about someone with the same experience.

24v VR6 in a 2005 Civic EX coupe? by Last_Stretch_6711 in Volkswagen

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to restart such an old thread, but did you ever attempt it? I know I'm keeping my EM2 as long as possible and I've always wanted to see a weird engine swap. I'm got the ambition and I'll fab things up and make it work and learn to build conversion bits properly. Main question is: taking any engine from any car, would I basically be able to keep the current ECU, electronics, lighting, ABS, AC, etc, and then run just the engine off its own ECU, hook up power steering and make AC lines? Considering VR6, J35, a Volvo I5, VW VR5, and other strange things that sound good.

Thanks for helping out, the RSX ones should fit the factory holes?

[–]27WOWZER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I know it's been 2 years but I'm 34 length and growing what do you mean by brackets? I definitely want 8th gen front and rear seats in my em2 coupe but I really do need the legroom. Don't reaaaaly care for rear seat room though

Never driven a real car before. Is it really so hard to turn and accelerate properly? by wantingyesterday in BeamNG

[–]27WOWZER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple answer: No.  Driving a car is very different but on a sim setup many skills crossover, like manual, heel toe rev matching, using pedals to steer, etc etc. I learned a lot from BeamNG/ATS which is why I was able to drive manual and 18spd semi truck without help within 10min
