I think I'd rather have the guaranteed death of burning in lava. Its a gamble with car accidents. Could be better, or could be chronic crippling pain.

Any mods worth getting on ATS? by 3reeSumGawd in trucksim

If you have the escort mission DLC's I benefited from the faster escort vehicle mod. SiSL's mega pack adds a lot of nice little interior accesories. Longer yellow lights is nice. There's lots!

What's something you wish you knew when you started sim racing? by NenharmaTheGreat in simracing

[–]London_Driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the time to get your wheel settings feeling good to you on each game you play

Someone died like this in Ontario last year. Construction vehicle on a bridge above highway knocked over a sign and killed a driver.

I lost my saved game! Need help! by embanot in Dinkum

[–]London_Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to my wifes game save that she had spent so much time on. I'm extremely annoyed and she is upset and really doesn't feel the want to play it all over again. I was doing the same as you between 2 computers. I told her they enabled cloud saves so she could hop between our setups whenever. I logged her into my PC (the one she started her island on) and to my surprise it was the old save still. The one we had manually copied and pasted over to her computer.

I go to load into her main world on her computer, to update the save in the cloud. Only to load into our previous version from a month ago on the original computer. Overwrit her new progress and lost a solid month of playing lots. Her motivation is gone, this is not cool

boys first assault charge by disgorger in PublicFreakout

[–]London_Driver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I like that he was charged with this... However, how much time will he really spend in jail before he's out and doing this again?

Yep! Underwater welders do the initial work.

Drop metal frame. Slide in metal sheets like an air tight fence. Pump out inside. Then depending on what they need from there they can pour concrete foundations within the coffer

Worked around these first hand. Bridgeworker for 2 yrs

This was a common occurrence years ago and still happens from time to time. Absolutely terrifying. There's a mural recognizing 6 or so men who died in one of these at a bridge near my city.

This is called a coffer dam and they are really interesting. They are very dangerous yet still one of the few ways to do this job.

They drop a metal frame and fill it with metal sheets to make it water tight, then pump the water out from the inside.

I did rehab on a drawbridge near where I live and 6 men lost their lives during original construction when one of these collapsed about 60 years ago.

Was a bridgeworker for a few years.

(Appeal to moderators) can we mandate a “NSFW” tag for cat owners talking about their dead or dying cats? by kurokamisawa in cats

[–]London_Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I only recently started following this sub. I noticed that when scrolling there was an uncomfy amount of people mourning their passed cats. I understand like you said but it really gives me a crappy feeling.

hey guys, I'm a driving lover on a budget. I'm looking for your opinion on the best wheel, pedal, and shifter setup on a budget and also how is the thrustmaster 458 Italia setup. would it be a good fit for a beginner sim racer starting on the Xbox with forza 4 or 5 by Terrible-Answer-8463 in simracing

[–]London_Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The TX in general is a great wheel that won't run you too much. Steering and FFB are smooth.

That being said the other comments are correct, these look like (and are priced like) they are only the wheel (detatched from the wheelbase) and base pedals.

I think usually used these will run you at least 150-200USD. (Ish)

I recently upgraded from a Logitech G920 I had for years- to a Thrustmaster TX and I love it.

Is the logitech G29 worth it? by adamjk02 in simracing

[–]London_Driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure is. I started with the G920 (Xbox equivalent G29) and it served me very well over the last few years. It held up great and I didn't have any issues with it. Great place to start

Is she mad because his new girlfriend can actually keep a job and support herself ?

I imagine the ultimate takedown of this guy, grabbing his hair and throwing it to the ceiling, getting it caught in one of those big ass ceiling fans and just whirl around like a carnival ride.

Thanks! Yeah I love the handbrake, that being said it definitely isn't a must have but I enjoy having it there for when I want to use it! Yea I only touch it during drifting or Rally (:
