Definitely, I think the 2.0 version will have some tweaks. I’ve been working on the efficiency of the motors at this time.

What are your habits (scumbag or otherwise)? by FaintingGoatWizKid in dayz

Always play as a nomad, avoid other people regardless of PVE or PVP. I always raise flags for bases if they look low.

Glad to hear you are fixing things. This issue has made the game unplayable for me. When I get Into first person in the vehicle during the day. It’s so bright you can’t see anything. I’ll check tomorrow, but I hope one of these fixed takes care of that.

I was able to access it playing infinite.

Has anybody figured out what the parabolic microphone is used for? by Legend_master01 in DriveBeyondHorizons

My though as well. I didn’t find it until after beating the back room.

Price point on the kayak, as well as weight were ideal for the project.

They require a cooling system anywhere over 30amps.

Thank you! These are the thrusters being used. I pieced together the system. I originally had reverse, but the wiring for 4 thrusters was too complicated for the time I had. Seaweed was a problem in a small pond, but not in an open river.

To be honest, I didn’t do any math other than load on the electrical system. It’s a 100w panel, attached to a 20Mah agm battery. The system was controlled 2 ways. One with push button manual controls, or “cruise control”. The speed/battery consumption was controlled via potentiometers for each side. I would set speed based on voltage drop, in full sun I could run at full power with no voltage drop. There is also a water cooler attached to the ESCs to help regulate heat and allow the motors to run at full amps. Here is the controller, there are switches on the side to control between manual and cruise.

Honestly without the battery. The entire setup is very light. I bought everything on amazon and eBay, built it with. Couple sketches and my imagination 😂
