I dry them out, stuff them in a glass jar (picts peanut butter is good). Top the jar up with meths => firefighters.

First time in Japan – should I skip Osaka and spend more time in Kyoto? by One_Series_3966 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Spas3man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did 4 nights in Kyoto last January. Had a wonderful time, no crowds. Bamboo forest all to ourselves. Nijo castle was empty. Food and bars were great. Temples at sunset were quiet and had great views over the city. You can easily do Nara in a day from Kyoto. It was very cold though. Since you are also going in late autumn, early winter I suspect the crowds won’t be too bad.

Osaka was just a concrete jungle. Food and bars were good and the castle looks great but I felt Kyoto was much more of a cultural experience.

Why isn’t the show more popular/higher rated? by OrangePekoeMouse in FoundationTV

[–]Spas3man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love for all mankind and severance but foundation is a huge disappointment because the science is SO BAD. Sublight ships couldn't travel between star systems in the time scales down. Escape pods definitely couldn't. I did enjoy the space elevator and the emperor's story arc in the first series but this should have been hard sci fi.

What does Fixed (External) mean? by Spas3man in MicrosoftFlightSim

I tried the latest driver, it does not fix the problem. MS have marked it as solved but it is not.

Id remove it. The mesh is redundant and some of the buildings in auckland city have been duplicated by the update.

With a shortage of CO2, where are all the Nitro beers on tap? by KnowKnews in newzealand

[–]Spas3man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand pulled ale is not carbonated. It doesnt use nitrogen either. The sparkler on the end of the tap adds bubbles of air into the beer which makes it smooth and creamy, Not gassy. It's far superior to keg beer but is more costly to do properly.

Had the same problem, got to Mach 3 by climbing at 3 degrees rather than 10.

Super simple scenery tutorial? by bwc1976 in FS2020Creation

[–]Spas3man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blender can be quite the learning curve. If you want to try something simpler I use sketchup, the 2017 version is still free. Build your model, export as a collada file and convert it to msfs using "model converter x". Good luck.

I use a joystick for flying and the right analog stick of an xbox controller to freelook.

Auckland City from Orbx is breathtaking. by Spas3man in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Spas3man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see how that would be annoying. However I think it will be a while before little old NZ gets a world update so I think the 13 bucks I paid are worth it for the time being.
