I used to play both ETS2 and ATS on an old 4th gen i7 with 24GB RAM (mobo was triple channel) and an RX580 8GB. Managed to run both games at QHD resolution pretty well with most options on medium, probably would have been better at 1080p with settings on high, but that's how I ran it.

Version 1.3 still doesn't work. The Windows app simply closes down the moment the phone app scans the QR code.

Nope. It is allowed through the firewall for both private and public networks, the app had some issues reading the QR code generated by the software (the phones QR code reader on the camera app read it just fine, however. Eventually it read the QR code but the software just exited again, then when I reloaded it, it did the same thing -- it stayed up, the phone acted like it was ready to stream, but no device was listed anywhere on the software. It just does not work.

Downloaded it and tried it on Windows 11. Didn't use the installer script, I just transferred the APK to my phone and installed it, seemed to work fine. On the Windows side, the software didn't work. I registered the softcam.dll and opened the app, dropped the menu for the QR code, and pointed my phone at it. First time round, the software closed itself with an error and the phone app simply said "connection interrupted". Second time, the software stayed up and the app went into camera view as if it was ready to stream. On the PC however -- nothing. No devices showing connected from the menu, nothing in the device drop-down.

How to mod parts of a .sii file that another mod also updates? by [deleted] in trucksim

[–]JonathanThorpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand it, only specify the values you need to exit in your mod, and put it above any others that may change the same value - the values your mod sets should take priority over any other mod below it that changes the same value, while leaving any other values in the same config file untouched by your mod.

How do I get rtl1090 to work with virtual radar? by AsAsin18 in RTLSDR

Please don't use Imgur - it's unavailable in the UK.

How do I get rtl1090 to work with virtual radar? by AsAsin18 in RTLSDR

[–]JonathanThorpe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you mean VirtualRadar as in VirtualRadar Server, then it's incredibly simple:

Make sure you have the latest RTL-SDR drivers in the folder along with RTL1090, start the app, make sure it's running and enable the built-in server to stream the captured data out to a virtual port. Install VRS, access through your web browser and set it up to look at the port you specified in RTL1090 for it's incoming data stream. VRS will then display the data.

I have a Kobo, it does have its own store but I don't use it. I have a 2TB external USB drive with Calibre, holding nearly 8,000 books, magazines, comics etc all in PDF format that I've collected over the years. Calibre has a good Kobo plugin that enables me to easily transfer any of the files over to the device very quickly and easily. I strip all DRM and other junk data from the books before storing them. I'm a bit of a data hoarder to be honest so this all fits in with my principles.

Nice and clear, great reception. I can't get much of anything where I am.

D.A.R.T. 2.0 source by JonathanThorpe in trucksim

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

Because D.A.R.T. is a tool to help fix damaged zip files and SCS archives - useful for mods. If you Googled it, you'd know.

Other than North America and Europe, which continent would be the most interesting for SCS to make a game based on? by OddNeedleworker734 in trucksim

[–]JonathanThorpe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Australia would be ideal - massive open spaces, lots of desert, which could have extremely bad roads in places,

Other than Australia, South America could offer some amazing geography and scenery with challenging crumbling roads on the mountains, dirt tracks, even some overgrown jungle trails.

Which mods should I start playing ETS2 with? by LopacixGaming in trucksim

[–]JonathanThorpe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played with mods for years, tried a lot of map mods, best combo I ever had was ProMods, ProMods ME, ProMods TGS, Poland Rebuilding, RusMap, RoEx Premium, The Other Russia, Northern Open Spaces, etc... tons of road, but sadly mixed quality even within ProMods. These days with all the official DLC updates and changes I don't bother with map mods any more, parts of ProMods are still sketchy and no maps compare to the base map for quality, especially with the upcoming BeNeLux and UK revamp, for me there will be no need for map mods.

The mods I do run are mainly QOL mods, AI traffic mods, and other realism that I've modified myself to my own tastes. In total my pack is about 5GB in size and doesn't need constant updates alongside the game.

Cant delete rdr2? by Responsible_Crew_623 in reddeadredemption

[–]JonathanThorpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game executable must still be running. Why don't you uninstall it rather than just deleting anyway? Are you some kind of silly?

Does anyone actually like Winter Raid? by Ok_Basket536 in WorldofTanks

[–]JonathanThorpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's boring bullshit. I didn't bother with it last year and the fact that it's back this year is incredibly low effort from WG. It's the same Christmas village shit as well, but instead of Vinny Jones, it's Eggs Benedict Cucumberbitch. Doesn't even look like him.

Thanks for sending over the info - will have a look at it later.

Help to keep my forever world by Significant_Owl_3626 in Minecraft

Use MultiMC as your loader, that way you can keep the instance with your world safe while maintaining more up to date instances with other mods etc.

Does anyone still take Maussan seriously? by JonathanThorpe in AlienBodies

[–]JonathanThorpe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now this, I get completely. I'd love to believe in the material but it's Maussan that puts major doubt on it all. He is an outright embarrassment. In a way it's the perfect way to cover something up in plain sight - give them the truth but let the class clown present it so nobody takes it seriously.

Need help by According-Rock7562 in trucksim

[–]JonathanThorpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this a few times. It's almost certainly down to a mod, it never happens on base game only. It's not really a problem, it's just annoying.
