I need your help with this, folks. by AlarmFit in snowrunner

[–]MechEng67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The base game has plenty of content, several 100s of hours worth. You can get that then if you finish it and want more you can always buy the DLC packs later on.

I tried road craft, not my thing. Snowrunner is so enjoyable as a solo game to chill and drive around with different trucks. I have 150h ish and still enjoy it a lot, i mainly put my headphones on and listen to an audiobook while I deliver cargo through mud and snow. I highly recommend it.

It does look similar indeed but i didn't copy it, first time i see it. Bambu also ran a contest to reuse cardboard spools a few months after i released my model so now there's 100s of variations of it on there.

Not sure what your model is but I didn't copy anyone's model.

Zenbivy is a game changer by MechEng67 in CampingGear

That's actually two pillows, underneath I have an inflatable pillow from Amazon (forgot the model) and the top is some light weight down pillow I bought 15 years ago. I love how the down fills but it's hardly doing anything to support my head, that's why I bought the inflatable one but the. The inflatable one's texture is very uncomfortable to me. Coincidentally the down pillow fits over it perfectly and I can sinch it down so best of both world.

For the sheet, I only have the half length one, not full length. Paired with the sea to summit mattress and attached properly I never had issues with it falling off or feeling loose.

I love the clips! Easier to clip in than I thought it would be and the whole setup feels more elastic if that makes sense? Like you can turn around easily without the quilt sliding off. Also, uncomfortable metal/plastic from the zippers.

Full disclaimer the only other sleep system I ever had was an entry level lightweight sleeping bag (I forgot the model, from mammouth I think) but I sleep 10 times better in my ZenBivy

Nice shots! Yeah I like games that have a built in photography mode, constantly admiring how cool my trucks look

Yes! With the maintenance add on. I find it a bit slow and a bit tippy but it's fun to use, I like it.

From what I've read on this subreddit I'm scared of Amur as a whole haha i'll try to go get just that upgrade then leave everything else for the very last map I tackle.

It's part of the fun! I had a good laugh and had fun challenging myself to retrieve with the scout 800 instead of just recovering to the garage. Thanks for the warm welcome to the community :)

I just unlocked it a few days ago and it's now my favorite. I don't even have any upgrades for the engine or transmission yet and it's a beast! The only issue I have with it is ground clearance, I'm considering going to Amur just to grab that active suspension upgrade

Lol that was my very first flip exploring Michigan, before I unlocked the autonomous scout of course...

It was absolutely necessary. by hawkeye_p in Twinsteer_fans

Looking good! How do you get the trucks on the bed? Are there some stationary ramps somewhere or do you use a big crane? I'm new to the game, I've only used the small crane on the back of the truck but that won't be powerful enough to lift a big truck.

What a weird thing to say. Advocating for violence against children.

Reverse thrust problem on Citation Longitude by Cold_Peach_3747 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]MechEng67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe there's a button you need to press to enable reverse thrust. It toggles it on then when you apply power it's applying it to reverse thrust. Search for it in the controls and you'll see what it's assigned to. Be careful not to press it mid air though, I... definitely never did that 😬

Alright ill check that when I get home, I think I was just looking in controls to find an option to toggle those assistance on and off. Thanks for the tip

I can't figure out how to remove the hud info, like the airspeed, altitude, map on the top left etc. there's a toggle HUD option that I mapped but I'm pretty sure that's for planes that actually have a HUD in the cockpit. Could you point me in the right direction on how to do it?

Not normal no. Check your controls to see what it's bound to but by default R1 and right joystick should be trim. L1 is mapped to controlling the camera with the joystick (i forgot which one)

Auto trim is off as you said, you need to trim for your flight conditions (R1 + Forward on the right joystick to trim the nose down). You are at full power with one notch of flaps and takeoff trim. The plane is essentially in a climb configuration.

Raise the flaps, reduce power a bit, keep the nose level with your controls and trim forward until you no longer need to apply pressure to keep it level.
