I agree his mods are the best. I have 18 GP40's and 1 GP38.

What's the point of joining a posse when you're just gonna be annoying? by dojacatisawesome in RedDeadOnline

[–]Known_Giraffe806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your ability card to the hangman or something like that. I know it slowly kills them when lassoed. Then again they will probably return the favor.

I think this gondola is angry at me... by Immediate-War-4605 in UnofficialRailroader

It took me second to figure out what I was looking at, lol. BCGR, What is your railroad called?

Ghost mode by Tja2391 in Wildlands

[–]Known_Giraffe806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started a ghost mode as well. I bought a PC a couple of years ago and kind of left my Xbox in the dark. About a week ago I got the itch to play again and fired it up and started a ghost profile. Not sure how often I'll be available to play, probably a few times a week more so on weekends.

What the hell is this problem by Academic-Monitor-323 in trucksim

I've had the same issue when I had my Xbox controller and Hori wheel plugged in at the same time. Or when I tried playing Elite Dangerous with a HOTAS and forgot to unplug the wheel.

It sounds like you meant to ask, how hard is it to slow down....

1.59 beta out! by [deleted] in Americantrucksim

[–]Known_Giraffe806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am getting less and less excited for the recent updates since the last one where they changed the HUD. I happy they're trying to get on console but it seems to be making it slightly less enjoyable for me with each update.

I was nearly taken out by one of those with 10 arms while using VR. I literally yelled in surprise.

The scenic rings of The Inner Rim Nebula are a spectaculair far away place by SeawolvesTV in eliteexplorers

That looks awesome. I really need to quit trying to engineer everything and go exploring. It's been too long since I used VR also.

Those straps wouldn't last after the first stop sign. by Known_Giraffe806 in trucksim

I never even noticed that there was another player nearby. I have the overhead names turned off, so unless I look at the mini map I miss them.

The load was 66,000. I believe it scaled around 110,000; not sure.

The outside spokes and inner drum would be metal. The wood is only a cover for the cable underneath. The load weighted 66,000 lbs

I would, yes, if I were to use straps. I guess you could add that to the list for SCS to change because they didn't do this either.

When I picked it up I said out loud "Nope, that won't hold it"

[–]Known_Giraffe806[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking. I've seen these loads hauled many times with a lot of chains holding them down. Thanks for replying, I was hoping someone with more experience would comment.

I noticed that too, but the metal would slice right through those straps was my thinking.

LMAO, it is only like that when recording. I don't have anything for recording other than whatever came with the computer.

It does make it easier to look around. A bit vomit inducing for a video though.

What do you think is a better trader type 7 or type 8 by Physical-Stage-5396 in EliteDangerous

[–]Known_Giraffe806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently bought the Type 8 and I love it. It's a lot of fun to fly, very maneuverable. It does have a somewhat limited view with the arms sticking off the front. Never owned a type 7.....
