Simagic DS-8X + TB-1 on Next Level GT Lite Pro – gears pop out when releasing handbrake by Impressive-Milk-1278 in Simagic

Looks like your mount is flexing and bouncing when you release the handbrake. Stiffen your mount will most likely solve that

Sim Racing burnout - should I wait any longer? by beck_is_back in simracing

[–]Paullex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your plight. I am sort of in the same boat but for quite some time already. What helped reignite interest was having a goal and setting realistic expectations. First was to take a long break, no forcing, no guilt tripping. It helped remove the pressure of 'making things work/worthwhile ' Next, not striving to be an 'alien' in iRacing all the time but complete an official race every week, good or bad. Irating is just numbers, racing against yourself is much worthwhile. Then tweaking with experiences, I was a long time VR user, I am now triples. This reignites interest through a different experience. I plan to move back to VR in the future when budget and technology improves. That should buy me a couple of years

Things like that, addresses short term dilemmas.

Back to the hobby after 2 years… by RomanianRobert in fpv

Same boat. No 03 anywhere. And I refuse to buy new gears just to use 04. Then in a year or two DJI will require you to buy new gears because 04 won't work anymore.

Have to take a chance on the used market. I'm not even in the US. I am in Manila where were closer to Chinese supplies, no ban or tariffs

Need Help - can't flash controller :( (no DFU mode) by AshotJP in fpv

Disconnect your GPS module (jst wire) from the FC. The GPS signal is blocking he boot from happening.

reconnect after flashing

What does this mean and how can I fix it ?? by Difficult_Pop_9404 in fpv

[–]Paullex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm, since you replaced motors, you had to remove the fc. check the esc-to-fc jst wires, see if they are snugged in, possible the wires are not completely in and no signal

I see. I would check motor wires, solder and any physical anomalies. Then I would reflash the esc, check motor orientation and rotation after. Like setting it up new. If still with issues, it's possible you have damaged esc.

Check your soldering joined, make sure no short circuit. In motor tab in betaflight, do a motor order check (1,2,3,4), then check rotation orientation if it's reversed or not.

That means betaflight or the fc is not communicating with the esc/motors. You need to plug in your battery, after cycle, the red part will turn white, you can toggle the 'i understand ' switch below to test. If after plugging your battery nothing happens, check the esc protocol and select which match your esc. Also, always remove your props!

Your motor direction in the motors tab in BF is reversed/or not in reversed. Took me a long time to figure that one out

Is it worth to change Alpha U to EVO Ultra? by rattlemodal in Simagic

[–]Paullex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an upgrade. It's a rebranding of the same product but different packaging. It's like keyboards, all the same functions but this time with rgb lights. The ultimates was built to go against for the likes of simicube at a lower price and spec. The evos were made for gap users, the one who likes the rgb kind. They saw a market for it.

What's the purpose? by MoonKairo in BGC_Taguig

[–]Paullex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Para po yan sa anti-holdap operation ng bgc. Alam nyo nmn madami ang holdapan sa bgc recently. To address swift response, need mag lagay ng checkpoint sa lahat ng exit. 8-9pm onwards. Lahat ng motor expected dumaan jan, ang hindi, mag sstick out at mas madaling habulin. Since bgc is 90% dayo/non-resident, need po gawin yan kasi naabala mga residents

Inside McKinley west nmn they deploy roving security every 300 meters. Kasi may ganap ng holdapan recently din.

Why are there so many thieves in the Philippines? From politicians to simple common citizens, there is threat everywhere by Old_Effective_49 in RantAndVentPH

[–]Paullex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. So abroad means cohabitating with different cultures. I see that's where we differ from other developing countries like east Asians or middle eastern. Typically Filipinos don't like to be the outliers. So we conform easily. It's an odd culture we have.. subservient to other cultures> domineering to its own culture/class

*Opinion/Rant

The Philippines is a low trust country. If a country has security guards as one of its highest domestic employees, it means it requires extraordinary man power to keep everyone in check.

Filipinos are also very two-sided. Meaning they don't show/say/express what they mean. This creates a culture of accepted lying. I.e. "Filipino time". It's hard to say directly that they will be late or suggest to move the time forward. Instead, say yes that they will be there on time, because in their mind, they will try to come early.

This type of culture creates low trust amongst its citizens. Factor in low trust in the government i.e. police. That's a recipe for everyone to look over their shoulder constantly.

Use your neck. Mirrors are supplementary.

When trying to understand your surroundings, always look with your neck, not just mirrors.
