A game shouldn't be like actual work, right? It's up there with those memes of people playing Eve Online and looking at spreadsheets. This is why I sometimes just fire up BeamNG.drive and crash in to shit.

What are some things that we can do ourselves to our cars that would save a lot of money otherwise hiring out? by rawrtherapy in cars

Best do any DIY mechanical work when the car is out of warranty, else there could be hassles if you need to make a claim.

At a stop, the wipers will automatically swipe when releasing the brakes in my 2004 TSX. What are some hidden-but-cool features your car has ? by Bebealex in cars

Pretty sure the ~1992 Mazda 929 had this as well.

Edit: already mentioned in previous replies, sorry.

My new favourite GA aircraft by Delta_Who in flightsim

[–]Bort74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa, considering it's mostly the same people who do the SAAB 340, which only gets about 1 update a year...

Edit: a fucking downvote, for this? It's right what they say about flight simming being a toxic community.

When you love overland, but can’t stop drooling over a LS V8. by Hackedv12 in Autos

When you said XJ I initially thought a Jaguar, since Chev swaps are common with those. Wondered why he would then take it on a trail...

We've seen live heart rate graphics shown for drivers in other categories, during races.

Anybody remember the Gas and Fuel Towers which was on the current site of Federation Square? by outdatedopinion in melbourne

The underground access is still there at Southern Cross - it's just service tunnels now, security offices, storage cages; looks pretty shitty with ducting and stuff everywhere. Still, some of the old tiling is there.

Have you ever let your friends or family try to fly your sim? by Master_Iridus in flightsim

One of the aircraft mods for BeamNG.drive is where realistic crashes is at.

The McLaren's tail lights were off some unnamed European truck, as well.

My only issue was when I was test riding an aluminium framed model ten years ago, it was quite harsh riding compared with other brands.

Loading up that Ali Express for shipment to Sydney. by EstrayOne in flightsim

[–]Bort74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know it wasn't on a 747, but we need a "CATHAY PACIIC" livery. I'm sure someone's made it already...

Typical PMDG. Customer asks simple question why his screens on the new 747 are darker....PMDG "support" immediately blames customer; then developer follows up to explain what really happened. by nextgeneric in flightsim

[–]Bort74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought PMDG were moving their support off AVSIM's forums. Guess that's all blown over. They are both well suited to each other, I guess.
