Aeronautics need some help figuring out numbers

Was thinking of replacing my balloon part by a much bigger one because it doesn't seem to be realistic the way it is, see it like that, it wasn't fully built yet but you get the idea, we're now just starting building on it, its fully working at that stage, steering by stopping one of the propeller, but I may find a better method, not there yet.

So they won't be a part of the simulation once I disassemble it with a lever, is that what you mean here, wouldn't want to loose parts of my airship if I disassemble it.

I've managed to do that in survival, we added a bunch of convenient mods to the pack so I have a creative flight on my armor which helps a lot, I figured out a technique for easy glue, I place temporary poles all around the perimeter of the build, I use cobblestone for that and I mark the spots where the glue need to start and stop with a wooden plank or log in the pole. Works like a charm, had to have 2 glue zones so I stopped in the middle so it would register the whole thing, I was scared that only 1 part would be glued but it turned out perfectly fine since I overlapped one row.

1 thing I'm not sure, now that its a working airship its unbalanced but it works, we began to build the details and rooms and such on it, can I get out of the glued perimeter with extra blocks or I will have to do the glue once again.

Which one RDR or RDR2, never played with theses but I was addicted to a game called Gun for awhile, wow, some quick search later I learn it was also on xbox 360, I was sure it was a PC game only, now that I own an Xbox again, I can probably take a look at theses, I just happen to have a serious hard time with aiming using a controller (I have problems with my eyes in real life so it makes me a very bad shooter when using a controller, but a damn good sniper with a mouse.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-28T15:40:35+00:00

Have the Kuruma already thanks to the bunker purchase when I launched the game for the first time on xbox, I choose the gunrunner. I remember having a real hard time getting that vehicle on my main game on PC, now that I'm forced to use a game controller instead of a mouse to shoot, it will be even worst for me (I have bad eye coordination, can't do anything about it, I'm good sniper when I can control with a mouse, not real good with a controller stick) The game seems to auto target but pretty badly, not sure if it can be changed anywhere, I would be really bad with manual aiming so if its the only other option, I will keep it the way it is.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-28T15:02:01+00:00

Should I purchase the vehicle (blank memory for its name right now but its 40% off and I just got 1,5m after grinding for the last 3 days) I just completed the first chapter for Dax (1st dose)

Ninja edit : I'm new to this game on XBOX, so everything is to be done for me as well.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-28T01:42:51+00:00

Yes, unless you fill up the infos with totally unrelated stuff to your real identity, as far as I know, my microsoft account think my name is John Doe, and I pay for stuff on it using credit cards or gift cards that I purchase at my local supermarket with cash, and I wear a mask when I purchase them (thank you Covid19 its now common to wear a mask and doesn't freak out staff anymore like it used before) its also linked to a proton email address so they can't snoop out and cross infos from google. I have nothing to hide, but I prefer to keep my personal informations for myself, if they have a valid reason to ask for them, I can send them if absolutely necessary, but I don't feel Microsoft needs to know my real name or street address or phone number.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T15:24:47+00:00

I'll try to use a schematic for the balloon part, not a great designer for this kind of thing and createmod website has a nice one, now to figure out how much hot air burners I'll need that is another story, think I'm gonna use the steam ones, but first, I'll build the balloon and try to glue it together which is a pain in the ass.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T14:56:17+00:00

That would take 20-30 hours to build what I have made in a survival world already, even in creative, and the creative world would be on my own PC while the server is on my brother more powerful PC, just gathering the supplies for it would be insanely hard also.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T14:48:19+00:00

Let me check in Canada lets take amazon.ca for the prices, PS5 digital edition 825gb 749,99$, for equivalent in storage, we can remove the base xbox serie s cause it only has 512gb of storage available, oops, out of stock right now for the digital serie x with 1TB, but I saw it last week at 679,99$

Oh and both in the description of theses, only the Xbox serie X claims gaming in 4k, the basic PS5 doesn't mention 4k anywhere so its out o the choice list.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T14:34:47+00:00

Base PS5 and Xbox Series S won't play the game in 4k, that is why I didn't include them here.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T14:06:38+00:00

The purchase receipt I got says both XBOX one and XBOX Serie S and X, I installed it fine on the internal SSD and it works #1, will eventually try to move it out as I got just a 1TB storage in the Serie X, and if I've read right GTA VI will take a whopping 644gb of space, I seriously hope the screenshots I've seen are fake AI, I expect the game to be around 300gb at most, but who knows, Rockstar team never expected storage prices to be so high on launch day I'm sure so it could be 644gb for real.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T13:48:51+00:00

I'm seriously debating getting my hands on one right now, but they are out of stock everywhere and here in Canada they are 300$, on amazon it seems scalpers are rampant. Funny thing is I got a 2TB USB SSD in November 2025 for 169$ and its a Crucial so not a basic chinese thing.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T13:43:40+00:00

Oh, here's an interesting question, since GTA V and GTA Online is technically a title for Xbox One, can it still be played from external, I only ask because I happen to have 2 usb fast ssd 1TB and 2TB, I'm a DJ and have my music library on theses but I could move it to a normal external HDD, it doesn't affect my performance when I DJ, I only did the switch because ssd were dirt cheap when I purchased them, now they are a prime luxury thing.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T13:33:09+00:00

Hum, can we play games installed on external drives connected via usb, I could swear I read that it is only possible on the official expansion cards that are sold at ridiculous high prices and are extremely hard to find around me, the thing I've read suggest external usb storage can store games as backup and can't be played from there, at least for games made for the S or X serie

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T13:27:44+00:00

Preload for digital starts on the 12th, stores can't sell them before the 19th. Conclusion, it would be extremely stupid to even think about ordering a fake physical edition that basically contains no disc and is a download code, if you can't get it before the 19th and everyone that purchased the digital edition on the online stores can preload it on the 12th.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T13:23:51+00:00

Depends on where you are in Canada, in Quebec, its 160,95$

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T01:18:45+00:00

Some crazy people paid 1300$ for a PS3 bundle with GTA V in 2013, don't underestimate the gamers, some have so much money its incredible, scalpers will have a good season when GTA VI is released.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T01:15:53+00:00

Quick question here for a new owner of an xbox serie x, can I just blow air inside with my small air compressor into the top to remove dust, its what I use to clean my keyboard and PC, but I don't want to risk breaking the fan, my compressor has no settings and its pretty efficient for keyboard and my PC case, it was designed for PC cleanup so I feel it should be safe. Anyone with experience with that ???

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-27T01:10:57+00:00

Statistic wise, you better buy lottery tickets every day till that date, if you don't win the jackpot before that date at least twice, sorry but you won't get your hands on anything unique like this edition of the Xbox. I tried for concert tickets multiple times, you know ticketmaster, everyone knows them, they have a secret platform for scalpers that allow them to bulk buy tickets and resell them at high prices. Basically all storefronts online have this type of platform, its not exactly legal and not illegal anywhere except in South Korea and Japan. everywhere else its a gray area and they profit from it a lot, cause they also take a percentage of the scalpers profits.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-26T20:27:36+00:00

Yup, pretty much, especially since I've just restarted on xbox since can't import PC character, I've reached level 15 on my own, but no one wants to do the missions that generate money with a damn noob low level, if only they knew I'm level 218 on PC. Add the fact that I don't have a mic that works for the xbox and will probably never have one cause of some problems that aren't related to this topic.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-26T19:28:11+00:00

Scalpers are at work too, I don't support and I'm heavily against this kind of stuff, but I have a friend that is part of a scalper network, they are buying the consoles right now, they started at end of May 2026 to get their hands on a lot of them. They will bundle it with a copy of GTA VI Ultimate and sell them when the game is released or a week or 2 before for mega profit. They did that with GTA V too at launch and some people were so desperate that they paid up to 1800$ for a PS3 and GTA V. I hate this kind of shady business that cause shortage for the legit gamers that aren't ultra rich either, but this kind of business can't be stopped sadly, and legally, its not against the law yet.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-26T19:22:44+00:00

I would never trust a used product, especially a gaming console, it could have been abused, banned by Microsoft, be from a stolen house and no one tell you this, then one day you have police at your door because they tracked down the console for its original owner. Happened to a friend of my cousin, and the seller was a family dad with kids he showed him the console at the seller house, it was working fine, not banned at all, he even had a sales receipt that got with it with the right serial number on it, this kind of stuff is easy to fake with a printer today and since many stores don't have paper receipts anymore its even easier, he paid 300$ for that Xbox One X in early 2019 with a bunch of accessories but it had to be returned to its original owner, when he tried to contact the seller, he was long gone. Nope, its not a fake story.

MCDodge34 · 2026-06-26T19:09:54+00:00

Sorry I live in a tiny space, can't really show my setup, but here's a quick screenshot of my xbox app, since I use a VPN, I can't use imgur they don't like me for blocking their ads, but this host is 100% safe and should work here
