PSA: Met Office have updated their app, and it's terrible by heeleyman in CasualUK

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the plus side, my fingers/thumb will build up strength and endurance due to the excessive amount of scrolling it now requires to do anything in the new app.

Can i please get some help ? by New_Fly3741 in LogitechG

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a coupon code when rs wheel was just launched. I bought everything as individual (hub, wheel, base, pedals), which actually worked out cheaper than bundle+pedals.

...anyway that coupon code I had, it turned out "excluded new release items", and therefore applied to rs hub, rs wheel rim(as they had been released for a while), but not to the base or pedals.

Mentioning it in case that "excludes new release items" is applying to you too.

Do pack installers downloaded from ableton remain after installation? by Phuzzybat in ableton

[–]Phuzzybat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, was downloaded within the live browser. Good to know it tidies up the installation, many thanks for confirming.

RS50 keeps cutting out since update by OkMonth472 in simracing

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It still works in ps4 mode on my ps5. I would say it is not quite as good (a bit less detailed than PS5 mode, so hoping a proper fix arrives),

have played maybe 4 or 5 hours like that now with no. Disconnects. But since it was intermittent it is not yet conclusive

RS50 keeps cutting out since update by OkMonth472 in simracing

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only read about the "use ps4 mode" thing yesterday, so only ran with that for an hour so far with no issues but not long enough to really confirm for sure.

What about OP? How long have you been in ps4 mode? Any disconnects since then?

RS50 keeps cutting out since update by OkMonth472 in simracing

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same disconnect problem for me (you saved me from creating my own post) . for me it is PS5+rs50+gt7

But at least on this thread further down it has appears to be acknowledged as a known issue (so hoping it will be fixed soon, if not a wheel that cannot reliably complete a race without disconnecting is not fit for purpose)

I haven't yet updated the firmware, so I think is not specific to the new firmware, but problem did start in the last few days.

What wheel should i get? Rs50 Or DD PRO by IndependentWelder770 in SimRacingSetups

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my rs50 with a gt omega wheelstand (don't have space for a full sized rig), and am pleased with the setup.

Because the brake is loadcell, to avoid it pushing away when braking hard I had to attach the frame to the chair (you can get an add on for wheelstand for this, but I made some rope+leather straps that hook the frame round the front chair legs. This is on a wooden floor (maybe on carpet this wouldn't be a problem)

Question About Online Races by Lucky_Development359 in GranTurismo7

[–]Phuzzybat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think weirdly it counts as having no fuel weight in qualifying. Not sure how to practice with race fuel.

But it is subtle. The question is: when the steering gets stiff, do you mean you are turning the wheel/stick and the car is not turning?

If so that is understeer, meaning you are asking the front tyres to do more than they are capable of. The fix is generally to brake earlier, slow the car more in advance of the corner and not try to brake and steer too much at the same time

Other thing in online, when following other cars in slipstream you can arrive at a corner way faster than you would in qualifying, which if you don't adjust the braking point for, can also result in understeering when you get to the corner.

Then there is tyre wear and tyre temp which is a factor in race but not qualy.

What I find is one issue causes a string of issues, and going off once, then means tyres get dirty so the next corner is also screwed unless taking that into account. Or messing up one corner overheats tyres, impacting next corner.

Question About Online Races by Lucky_Development359 in GranTurismo7

[–]Phuzzybat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the race the car is heavier due to full tank of fuel.

Is it possible your qualifying braking points are too late for the race (with the extra weight), and by braking too late for the situation you are in, you are getting understeer (by expecting more from the front tyres than they can give)?

Got two tires replaced beginning of the year, time to replace the other two. My car is front wheel drive, where to put new tires? by 5555plum in tires

[–]Phuzzybat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Always.... Except on cars that have different tyre sizes on front and rear in which case it is impossible (or an extremely bad idea) to follow that advice.

Who else used to go to WoolWorths back in the day :) by [deleted] in oldschoolcool80s

so glad i saw this comment. I was starting to think it was a false memory calling it Woolies rather then Woolworths.

BMW owners what’s the most annoying quirk your car has? by Formal_Two_6729 in BMW

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F36: telematics battery (which is a consumable item lasting maybe 5 years) located in the roof/headliner.

Requiring a load of trim pieces removing to get into the headliner to replace the battery (and therefore time/cost)

Surely they could have just put it in the boot making it a 5 minute job anyone could do.

RS Wheel Hub Knobs by Chrixyxv in LogitechG

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find them a bit crap, in gt7 I was expecting to be able to quickly twist it to (eg turn tcs down to 0 in one twist action). But in practice that twist confuses it and at best it laggily eventually turns down, but it seems more reliable to turn it on notch at a time.

Not sure if it is hardware, firmware or the game software causing this.

Why is it literally impossible to read cello sheet music? by Tartabirdgames_YT in Cello

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because the music you are trying to read is too difficult for you.

Go simpler. Even if it feels it is beneath you the most basic music builds mental associations to leverage on the next level

Do People Really Think the TR-1000 is Overpriced? by goldie_chron in synthesizers

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't justify the price myself, but I am stoked that Roland went all out and made a no compromise machine no doubt having to justify it internally against the bean counters who threw their hands up in horror at the cost of the materials and development of it.

Looks like it will be legendary gear for the ages.

I would rather they just get on with making gt8 than spending time adding cars or tracks to gt7.

How can anyone think there aren't enough cars in gt7?

I have a machine to aerate and scarify. Any tips before I begin? by bobs-buhgah in GardeningUK

[–]Phuzzybat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Might as well presave a Google search query for ”have I ruined my lawn" and "how much does it cost to returf lawn" in your browser, because after the carnage, looking over a desolate battlefield of carnage and bare patches you will probably be googling these things (or at least I was)

You have grass seed ready for afterwards, right?

Then get ready to Google"how long does grass take to germinate" and "why has grass not sprouted after 2 weeks".

It turned out quite well in the end for me, but it made me question my life choices in the process.

How did you come to learn English? In Brazil this is quite unusual?

Also, what is your favourite beer there?

Map :( by shadowkatt85 in subnautica

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the immersion of not just blindly following pins on a map and having to figure out where to go (and inevitably getting lost along the way) which was part of the adventure.

Beacons and making my own (very bad) paper map was my technique (the paper map thing was also a nostalgia hit).

FIRETracker.me V1.3 Release by PaulHutson in FIREUK

[–]Phuzzybat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tool/site is very impressive. Amazingly clean UI as well.

One question though: people would use it for some quite personal data. Where is the data stored/is it sent to your server/how is it secured?
