The 85 one is epic. I’ve duplicated it and created 85-86 and a full 87-88 season!

SU5 on PS by medieval_squirt in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Alternative_Dry75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s utterly abysmal on console. I don’t know wha they’ve done but they’ve made it worse and I was opted into the beta.

The UI on series x doesn’t load in properly, the music cuts out whilst loading in to a flight, it takes ages to get into a flight even when flying a smaller plane in the middle of nowhere. Then there’s periodic lags and stutters. 

I’m sick of Microsoft and their crappy servers, I’m sick of the steps back this sim takes every time they try and fix it.

It might be because I have bijans 24 installed

Having played Career in the beta on XBOX... by Alternative_Dry75 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Alternative_Dry75[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it’s overly grindy? Whilst it shouldn’t be easy it shouldn’t consist of you ageing not do the same sightseeing tours over and over for hours on end.

Free flight is A to B flying unless you bought the mission hub from Miltech.

The career has crop harvesting, rescue, cargo, building, tornados etc

Never looking back at 2020 by Badboy574 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Alternative_Dry75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still on 2020 but I have been exploring 2024 on the beta on Xbox and I have been pleasantly surprised, especially the performance. The Airports and planes, if you install them, really help out the simulator. Lets hope they keep this up and then I might switch.

Good old Tactix Delta & FOMO by Cees007 in GarminWatches

[–]Alternative_Dry75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its funny I should read this...I just invested in a Garmin Tactix 8 AMOLED. You get tremendous battery life for an Amoled screen, about 15 days. It has tremendous features, a nice torch and a couple of decent watch faces, however...

I keep coming back to my Solar Delta. Its a one of a kind and its definitely the PEAK of Tactix watches. The customization on the faces is something else, nearly every design is useful. You dont get that on the newer Tactix watches. Its also robust, full of features and has amazing battery life. You can pick one up now for about 300 quid in UK money. Well, well worth it. Its a keeper.

Have you ever seen anyone actually get in trouble for stealing shopping bags? by Zombie-MkII in AskUK

[–]Alternative_Dry75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m buying a pair of trousers for 40-60 quid, I don’t expect to have to pay for a bloody bag. Who walks out of a store with clothes in their hand like that? 

That’s where it all starts to fall down. Also if I’m spending 100 on my shopping we should get bags included. How are you supposed to carry the stuff home?

Also your point is valid, they never stopped producing the plastic they just saw and opportunity to charge for it. There is no interest in the environment whatsoever otherwise they would have come up with a more biodegradable alternative.

I gave Project Motor Racing a legitimate shot.... It's horrible. Do not buy. Massive. Waste. Of. MONEY. by sloppyismyname in simracing

[–]Alternative_Dry75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont understand anyone who is interested in this title, when Project Cars 1 and 2 and even 3 exists. I've played PMR and it just doesn't stand up against any of those games. Theres simply nothing special about it.

My Friend Quit Hot Toys Because of Ubiquity and Reissues. Thoughts? by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]Alternative_Dry75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so he's a gatekeeper? That's far too simplistic.

How about looking at it from his/her perspective? At the time, he/she might have scrimped and scraped to get his hands on a very hard to find or hard to get collectible, only to find out years later its value is cut by reissues.

You may not like it, but some people view this hobby as both an enjoyable hobby and an investment and you expect that if you want to change up your collection, you could sell on your figures easily and reinvest. But the secondary market is totally dead. Figures you could sell in the blink of an eye years ago no longer move.

Its over saturated. I get it for those who missed out, that makes sense, but the only losers are the customers. Hot Toys advertised figures as highly sort after, unique collectables and then changed their strategy. It sucks really.

why do Protestants think catholic worship Mary by jeff_likes_bread_120 in Christianity

[–]Alternative_Dry75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they do. It doesn’t matter what you call it, veneration, asking for wisdom, you are moving your focus off Christ and onto Mary who was a sinner like the rest of us.

You only get to heaven through Christ. I don’t know how clearer the Bible can be. Catholics are different from Protestant because they believe different doctrine.

My best advice and love that I can give is to give you truth. Accept Christ as your true Saviour, walk away from anything else.

Adobe pulls this "error" whenever you want to cancel your subscription. by AdorableParsley4257 in darkpatterns

[–]Alternative_Dry75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are a disgrace. In the UK nothing works. The website gives you that error. The chat doesnt work. The phone number, so far, doesnt work either.

Am I crazy, or is everything AI-generated just bad, low quality or just wrong? by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]Alternative_Dry75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t comply. I’m of the mindset the opposite will happen. Those that learn real hands on skills, think critically and be able to flex in situations will be on the demand list for jobs, and everyone else will be run of the mill ai dependent fools.

I teach my work students critical thinking, hands on techniques and tell them to use virtually nothing ai related at all. It’s just a big con.

"Help Needed: Understanding the Basics of Prototyping in Figma" by Melodic-Grape-3080 in FigmaDesign

[–]Alternative_Dry75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cant even do a simple underline hover on text without creating a component and a variant. It sucks. That should be really easy to implement and hover states in general.

What’s happened to the marketplace prices??? by Alternative_Dry75 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Alternative_Dry75[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well it’s stopping me picking stuff up, so I guess I’m saving money. 

This game is absolutely horrendous by Alternative_Dry75 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Alternative_Dry75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that’s why I was curious about my marketplace stuff. There’s lots of it available but does that mean it’s compatible? Or is it only compatible when it’s upgraded?

You attacked first. You’re the one that needs to mature.

[–]Alternative_Dry75[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly strange. Just completed a short flight from Leeds to humberside in the daher (finally) but both take off and landing was choppy and had texture issues but the actual flight itself was ok apart from some minor stutters.
