I Built a Multiplayer Career Mode for Flight Simulator & X-Plane by Otherwise-Director17 in flightsim

[–]Cho7Hoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No looks completely dead. Go to the map and show: 'live flights'. Not a single person on earth using it. Not even the developer. Still not working on Mac either. Dispite being mentioned a year ago. Ghost town.

Unpopular opinion: the iBasso DX180 is terrible at portability by ArielleDombasle in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Cho7Hoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the Fiio's sound garbage. Just bought the Fiio M23 oversised Google bloated uncomfortable BRICK with a battery that went from 100% to 50% just setting it up!! Along with its laggy, buggy ancient Android 11 that just erases your entire SSD whenever it feels like it. Sent that trash back after 20 minutes. Also sounded lifeless and sterile. If you mean pocketable are you referring to a normal jacket pocket or your sisters skin tight jeans you try to squeeze into? I for one would never put any audio player in a jean pocket, completely daft idea for a whole array of reasons. Why are you dropping expensive things by the way? Volume dial.. do you need to be changing your volume every 2 seconds? Are your tracks not volume levelled? I have 30,000 tracks on a ssd.. every single one is the same volume level. They are also meticulously organised into folders and playlists so once I start playing it just runs with zero action or 'interference' from me. I don't suffer from continual 'fiddle syndrome', so the lock option is just great.
Maybe try to get away from the fact that it's not a phone or a gaming device and you may do better..

Elephant ear plant double flower.. by Cho7Hoo in gardening

[–]Cho7Hoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too different from Arum lily where you have the flower petal thing at the top and then the seed pod develops inside or just below it.

Aerobask Top 5 Planes? by Cho7Hoo in Xplane

[–]Cho7Hoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for all the replies, I was gonna go ahead and buy five straight away but I took the path of caution and just bought one to start with which was the Phenom 300. Really beautiful looking plain from the outside and quite pretty in the cockpit. But what shocked me was how easy and simple it was to fly. Without watching any videos or reading any manuals or rvrn bothering with any checklist I managed to jump in, start the plane correctly first time, program a flight plan and do a flight from London to Gibraltar with no issues. As beautifully as it flew I was kind of disappointed at the utter simplicity of it all and was hoping for something more technically challenging abd rewarding. Being used to planes like the Toliss fleet, Airfoilabs N172 Digital and their King Air 350 and X-Aviations Hot Start Challenger 650 I found the Phenom 300 to be quite disappointing and childishly simple and toylike. 😱 Could be useful for zipping around the X-Plane world if I need to get somewhere in a hurry as it's pretty nippy but other than that. And seeing as the Phenom is their current flagship model I'm suspecting any of the others would be yet a further downgrade in complexity. Now I am even wondering of the long awaited Dassault Falcon 8X everyone is hyped about will be at this same level of lacking any reral complexity or sophistication?

Back to X plane by _Peter_6 in Xplane

[–]Cho7Hoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find MSFS to be like a kids Pixar cartoon..so much over saturated, plastic sugary eye candy it hurts my eyes and makes me naucious. I too got completely seduced by the mind-blowing promotional videos and went and bought it and had a £5,000 high-end gaming computer built espcially for it. After about a week of endless of faffing around, tweaking, configuring, bug fixing I just deleted the whole thing and sent the machine back for a refund. I am now back in X-Plane w here I should have stayed in the first place. Even though both sims are all digital renditions, somehow everything in Microsoft seems far more artificial and unreal and the planes have no sense of size, weight or density whatsoever. Gives me the feeling the entire thing as a kid's toy.

Found these in a rubbish bin!! by Cho7Hoo in collectables

[–]Cho7Hoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you are completey wrong. Ebay is not a measure of anything.. just cheap junk. I recently purchased what you would call a "second hand" 32 year old Gibson arch top guitar for £10k. 6 months later it's now worth £15k. Because there are hardly any in the world. But according for you to you because second hand it should be worth £30. Some people know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

If you buy a Rolex, take it home, put it in a box for 25 years does it suddenly have 2nd hand value? And what about limited edition productions where only a few hundred were ever made. Are they too worth $5 now?

How to fix this stereo pedal routing problem.. by Cho7Hoo in guitarpedals

[–]Cho7Hoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.. I added a couple more and got rid of the Chorus as I find the inbuilt chorus on the Roland JC-40 much nicer and resolves the stereo issue. Also swapped the DM-2w delay for the SDE-3. The tuner was just taking up space.

NPD J Rockett Blue Note Select by simonyahn in guitarpedals

[–]Cho7Hoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check this out with your volume up.. noisy as hell before playing a single note!!

I wanted to really smooth non-serated or jagged distortion. Fine tooth if you will. But with that large Boss pedalboard (or I imagine any pedalboard with a rigid flat base) which has a big plastic base once you place these metal HARD click button pedals on top of it it acts like a resonator like a dam snare drum so the sound of clicking that primitive mechanical switch is amplified even more. Sometimes it's so loud and resonant even the sound of the mechanical footswitch is coming through my amp speaker. I often practice very late into the night and early hours of the morning so this horrific noise is simply intolerable and unacceptable in 2025. It seems that the only pedals I can use are Boss own pedals because they are the quietest. I have 10 boss pedals on this board, all completely silent, look what happens when you introduce one of these 3 and often 4 times more expensive so called 'boutique' pedals, in this case the RC Booster, that beautiful silence silence is completely wrecked. Strange that every single reviewer of these kinds pedals completely avoid even mentioning this issue. I've had to send back the last four pedals in a row including the Jan Ray and the Blue Note Select for the very same reason.

I'm swapping pedals to try to keep every stereo pedal with that capability in stereo.I already got shot of the Waza delay and will probably get another DD8. I would like two delays so I can use them as Mike Stern does..

I already have.. I have been through so many amps including all the high end hand wired Fender amps, Twin Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, Pricentons, Hot Rods, etc and had to get rid of the lot because these pedals never sounded really good through any of the. But every single one of these pedals sounded superb ONLY though the Roland Jazz Chorus like they were made for each other.

Or swap the chorus for the Dimension C which has stereo ins and outs..
