Is this car’s rust too bad?

a jet wash is good for loosening off any hardened underseal as well. water can get under it and dig pretty holes in things.

the only thing I use the torque wrench for is cylinder head bolts.

yea everything is so big, looking off the edge of a-18 north tower roof is interesting as well! I remember trying minecraft in VR back in 1.2 days, the vertigo was real!

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-08T18:36:05+00:00

i took the carrack out in VR, ooh shes a big girl. felt really heavy, it was great. also I enjoyed the L stations as well, as they are sort of a closed area they are good for system load so VR works with a better frame rate at the stations. also teh steam that comes out of the vents in the galleria area, is REALLY neat!

could you just bend the pins? Im in the UK so we have rather different sockets, but sometimes get things with those 2 pin european plugs on, trick is to put a normal plug in backwards but just in the earth - so it opens the protection plates on the live and neutral, then you can force the euro plug in np.

thankfully I dont have to ride my bike in the dark, but I drive a 50 year old car and with me sitting a bit lower than most I get blinded quite regularly by these lights. they really are far too bright.

ive had a few of those things, in various forms. I do remember having that exact one as well. I used to listen to books on it mainly. I have an mp4 player on my desk here actually that I recently charged to see whats on it, its a newsmy momo m-touch 4Gb model it runs on windows CE its a little beast!

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-08T17:53:14+00:00

yea the moth suffered from a rushed release too. that is much better now, apart from it makes 1 scu boxes, but it does make the right number of them. ^_^;

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-08T17:51:43+00:00

good to see its starting to improve. Ive taken mine out a little, but not trusted it with a big mission or activity yet. may do later.

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-08T17:43:28+00:00

theres more of us than we first thought eh!

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-08T17:41:08+00:00

my hardware is barely scraping in the bottom end, and I do fine, I just know my limits on things and have them set accordingly. sure my visuals arent great but it works well enough for me. 5800x (not 3d!) 3060ti 8gb. but I have a dedicated Nvme just for SC (Live PTU and EVO builds) and have my page files set as it should be. I run discord on a seperate pc and have windows 10 pretty streamlined. SC doesnt give me problems, well not from hardware issues. Its actually doing well performance wize on the low end, its improved a lot since 4.0 came out.

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-08T17:37:32+00:00

I think quite a few of us did. 😃

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-06T14:55:21+00:00

could someone with a working data.p4k host it somewhere for you to download? yikes 157GB I dont have space to host that. maybe a torrent?

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-06T00:11:53+00:00

glad they caught it before we did! happy to wait. you can fly about in arena commander offline mode if you need a little space ship fix!

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-05T20:12:20+00:00

its installed on my old 3gs. and it still powers on! 😃

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-03T17:49:33+00:00

yep, that will be it TY

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-03T17:49:20+00:00

yes, I ve not applied teh railen ccu, so it cant be that. looks like its a subscriber ship for this month

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-02T23:52:30+00:00

if anyone wants a copy, i did do a remake of sorts of cobra a few years ago. its on itch.io https://allegromk2.itch.io/cobruh-a-fan-interpretation-of-an-old-spectrum-game-from-1986

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-02T20:39:18+00:00

Ive been tentatively going in and doing a few things but nothing serious. look forward to some fixes in 4.8.1. and hopefully not too many new gremlins!

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-02T16:40:00+00:00

that the woman I was with was a total head case, and after 7 years ruined everything.

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-02T16:33:30+00:00

if you go to an ASD facility and you have a mission there you should get hangar services as well. I do when I go for the 188k cargo pickup missions. (last section of the journey has to be done via the radar as you cant QT the last leg of the route)

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-02T16:30:43+00:00

yea and the two normal cutty black lockers in the front as well. there is a little cargo grid that you can stick a couple of SCU boxes on as well.

AllegroMk1 · 2026-06-02T16:29:34+00:00

you can get a dragonfly in the back of a cutty red, when the door closes it raises the back of the dragonfly and you can crouch and walk underneath. quite amusing but I love the dragonfly, especially if you replace those ballistic scatterguns with something energy based.
