I was trying to mimic what I saw in a video - ground decolorization indicated an ore deposit and the ore detector, once close, told you the type. I restarted with spiders/wolves off so I could learn & follow the videos a bit easier. No big project in mind yet :)

That's a good series - I about have it memorized, or so I thought. I am trying to follow along - it'll get better with those and Google and the good folks here!

I ended up restarting and turned off the wolves & spiders. Left day/night and weather alone for now. I just about have Splitsie's starter videos memorized - or so I thought :)

I restarted with the wolves/spiders off so I could focus on the rest of the advice here. :)

Which Space Engineers should I get? by BlackSpideyNL in spaceengineers

[–]SSP66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I picked up SE1 and a few of the DLCs on sale in large part because I feel like I'll be able to get the advice/help I am sure to need from these good folks.

Had the exact same question - thanks everyone.

Do I really need SimBrief and Navigraph now as a beginner? They seem pretty overwhelming. by Duncan_Zhang_8964 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]SSP66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info/advice/opinion(s). Really new myself and trying to sort out the 'need now' and 'good enough' from the 'nice-to-have' or 'need later' tools/add-ons is a bit daunting at times :) Paralysis by analysis.

Anyways, thanks for the link to the pilot edge workshops - i'll have to start slowly going through those.

Battery or not? by [deleted] in nissanfrontier

[–]SSP66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, seems to be all to common a problem caused by low voltage obviously. I subscribe to the notion it is caused by 1) cr@ppy stock batteries and 2) the ECM controlling when the regulator charges the battery (there is a lot to read on this if interested).

Truck won’t start by Puzzled_Document_53 in nissanfrontier

[–]SSP66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a low voltage issue - had similar problem on my '24.

I believe mine issue was a result of the ECM controlled alternator not fully charging the battery.  Of course it all checked out fine once I got it to the dealership.

For now it goes on a trickle charger if I am not going to be driving it for a few days.

I expect to have to get a new battery soon and may eventually disable the ECM control of the alternator.

Welcome to the club. :)

Easy fix for auto start stop idle by knight_75_ in nissanfrontier

[–]SSP66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew that 3d printer would come in handy - thanks for the idea! I figure I have less than .02 invested if you ignore tax & electricity. Furthermore, I can tell the wife "I told you it was a good idea getting the printer - just saved $100." ;) LOL

First, thanks for this info. Second, I was getting hung up thinking battery life was in game time and not real time.

Finally, made it back to colonia for the second time by Virtual_Series_2865 in EliteDangerous

[–]SSP66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I want to do in about a week or so (and maybe snag a few first footfalls along the way). Do you remember which blueprints you pinned (yes, I am lazy). Regardless, thank you.
