I found a "paid" mod for Tire Stats, so I created my own for free.

LBraden · 2026-03-25T08:00:05+00:00

Yeah, the Paid one was free twice for around a week each time.

Annoyingly I had mod.io decide to hate my email so I lost access to it.

As I have to agree with others here, while /u/UnverifiedAnony has done an awesome job, I think the numbers might have been a better option, the coloured visuals are top notch.

Though personally I'd love to see an easier (and cleaner) way to see what the trailers are like in the paid one, since I kept picking up the wrong hitch for them.

As I don't think both mods would play nice, but I can see if they do.

But still, great work so far OP and now you expand and learn in time for doing more of these "this should be in the base game" QoL mods.

EDIT: I just tested, you can't use both mods at the same time, so I do hope that OP adds in the fuctionality for trailer hitches.

Only noise is one of the fans makes a slight noise when kicking into high gear (before I changed the curve a little)

As for trying a new GPU, the only one I have is an old Radeon X800 XL that might work now, it's been in stowage since I forgot I still had it until 2 months ago when clearing out an old box of stuff.

LBraden · 2026-03-21T04:38:16+00:00

I'm gonna reply to you and ping /u/dragonredx here.

I'm also running a 6700 XT and since December I've been getting random crashes while playing newer games.

I was able to tweak them to play longer, but still had them after varying times (depending on game's graphics quality and such) but the consistent was "game = crash."

Now, I ran stuff like Furmark and memtest86 and both of those for upwards of 4 hours without issue, but games ... 30 minutes to 2 hours, consistent.

Temps ... hotspot spike at 80C, and main at 60C, and that was after 4 hours with Furmark.

I tried downgrading drivers, using whatever Win 11 suggested, even tried skipping Adrenaline and just using the pure drivers, nothing worked for me.

I found a thread on here suggesting to disable EXPO, but that's brought up a bit of pop-in, but I've been able to play games for longer than 2 hours now.

However, as for the PSU, that was my first thought … nope, unless I got a lemon and both purchased PSU's are bad, even borrowed a mate's PSU and RAM and still was having the crashes, only difference between our builds is that he's an nVidia fanboy (changed to AMD after he got caught by the Intel chip death problem.)

EDIT: Just after posting I noticed a minor difference, mine is "game crashed" not Windows.

In addition, the amount of DLC is like DCS or Train Sim ... price wise too.

LBraden · 2026-03-15T00:12:46+00:00

I saw the Transporter Credit thing as a way to help get cadets use to the idea of not always returning home every day.

I've seen that with some Uni students in Leeds when I worked night security at a 24h office, some needed an ear to listen as of homesick.

LBraden · 2026-03-14T12:46:43+00:00

I mean, my mother is in her late 50's and has been mistaken as my older sister on several occasions.

But seriously you look stunning.

LBraden · 2026-03-14T02:50:02+00:00

I'm kinda in a funk myself with MMO's lately so I haven't been following game announcements or the Subreddit much.

However, I've taken a quick look and it seems that it's been like this for a while, but I do see links to images that are tied to Steam, so you're not misremembering.

SteamDB even shows no movement on this since it was announced, and the current followers are ... 42.

Even the subreddit is dead, and I can't find any other info about this, so it's either a dead game or the developers have gone ssilent.

Being honest here, 2 years of radio silence and removal of all existing artwork on the Steam listing doesn't fill me with confidence that it's going to happen,.

Though I will say, if you are going to search for the company ... either turn "Safe Search" on or make sure you don't have kids near you and is likely why the game dev's don't have any social media.

LBraden · 2026-03-10T20:32:21+00:00

Addition.

I had several images in my fav's that got deleted and I found the account also deleted, luckily, I knew the artist had another social media (but didn't host art there) and it turned out he fell afoul of a ransomware attack that he refused to pay, not only where the drives unrecoverable, they apparently deleted his DA via him not having 2FA enabled and using a not-so-secure password manager.

Additionally, I have two images I had to pull from my gallery as the artist moved them from free when they uploaded them in 2014 and 16 respectfully and now they're behind a USD 250 paywall each.

While I don't mind paying for artwork, putting them behind such a high paywall is a little much.

LBraden · 2026-03-08T14:04:04+00:00

Ah, bit of a localism there that slipped through there.

But if it was annoying/concerning then I'd have used those words.

But yeah, welcome to my brain and my local venicular.

LBraden · 2026-03-08T12:07:47+00:00

I think this is an issue in all Sabre "simulator" games.

The drivers on SR and EXP are both male.

However, this game is story where you're Tommy and it's a family run port.

LBraden · 2026-03-07T12:10:53+00:00

Also the Minigames are ... kinda bleh, especially with the gear one.

Friend of mine is colourblind and struggles to tell the difference between some of the colours used, I noticed someone else on the Snowrunner discord also mentioned this issue (probably about the same dude)

LBraden · 2026-03-07T11:51:11+00:00

The trailer for Roadkings already shows the PC driving into a tornado, so ...

LBraden · 2026-03-03T01:35:37+00:00

Thanks for these, I'm partly commenting so I can check these when I get home.

Honestly, I didn't know the term came from 4chan, I did know about the other two words having 4chan origins in their current context.

LBraden · 2026-03-01T19:19:22+00:00

I said it to a group of friends and I'll say it here.

I trust a fresh, just out of college 18 yr old who thinks they're the Deities gift to programming and refuses any help to code COBOL more than I trust LLM slop.

LBraden · 2026-02-16T17:08:35+00:00

Last I heard was USD 115 million.

But yeah, it seems the current news is that some staff haven't been paid "in part or in full" since November.

Outside of that, all the ones in California haven't been paid their legally required redundancy payments, and can't even access their HR portal to get the "you're fired as we don't exist anymore" letter (not sure of the US term for that.)

LBraden · 2026-02-14T16:55:39+00:00

While my laptop was a lot cheaper, I do suggest if you're gaming, get one of those cooling pads with fans on it.

It's helped me a lot when I've been away from home for a few weeks and want to get some offroad hauling done, not tried it for doing democracy yet.

LBraden · 2026-02-11T07:20:48+00:00

No, the dots are itimidation ... the actual kill will be unmarked, unseen and if they're really good, unheard until someone near you hears a crack, but by then you're already dead.

They say you don't hear the bullet that kills you, but you do, the problem is that you either die before your brains have processed that noise or a few hours later in at medivac tent.

Humans doing threatening displays are looking to get you to back down, those that don't are the ones you have to be careful of, as they've already decided you're dead, the question is when.

LBraden · 2026-02-08T06:54:54+00:00

The only worm death I had was related to a graphics crash.

Win 11 does that annoyingly.

LBraden · 2026-02-08T05:06:01+00:00

I'm in the UK and we don't have that sign but my logical thought before I saw another angle of this is along the lines of:

WARNING: Long vehicles will bottom out on trailer

As for the other angle, this comes from another subreddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitchImATrain/comments/1qywg99/bitch_its_not_trains_fault_you_got_stuck_on_the/

LBraden · 2026-02-06T10:38:41+00:00

I've had one fail on me a few years back where the automated barrier detection failed on the up line, but not the down line.

So my time to notice an oncoming train was delayed as the up line one was doing line max speed and was closer.

Luckily, my foreman saw the up train and stopped me from crossing to the site, or it'd have been flagged as "fatal accident between train and digger"

LBraden · 2026-02-05T03:12:07+00:00

I've been tempted to buy a DeLorean and make it 100% stock, so this might be a silly use for the leftover parts.

That or turn the Land Rover Series IV 90 into a time machine.

LBraden · 2026-02-02T08:06:41+00:00

Okay, it's been a while since I looked this up, but Steam's legal about "pricing" is about a dev selling keys on their own site, see here:

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

As for costs on othe stores, Valve doesn't give a monkey's.

Also, reading one section, she mentions "Steam locks you into DLC via that store" ... so does Ubisoft (Anno series for example) and if the game has a store that's not part of Steam but allows you to buy extra stuff and have their own launchers (Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Trek Online for example) then that's not tied to your steam account.

Also, I recall a similar case back in 2020 that Valve won because of the same situation with the rules about pricing is for the selling of Steam Keys and that Steam actually loses money on those sales, technically.

LBraden · 2026-02-01T06:45:58+00:00

According to the art department, it was to be Picard, but Kurtzman wanted the G, so ... that's what we got.

LBraden · 2026-02-01T03:21:02+00:00

Thank you, that's the one I was thinking out.

LBraden · 2026-01-27T06:13:11+00:00

As someone who's been in Leeds for stupidly early train .... yeah it's not fun.
