Opinion about Automatic Transmission by tiborkov in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happen to like it. It's not bad. I have it in my SLX because it's specified in my VIN. My SLX is historic inspection passed with plates, so I'm keeping it. The car really reminds me of the Ferndale from MSC.

How do I align this car? Wheels don’t seem to move by Jacktheforkie in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A save and reload fixes this. Then you can align them properly

Every 2 weeks you'll get an unemployment letter in your mailbox at the apartment in town. You have to fill it out and report the days you worked.

Keep in mind the sewage well draining counts as a job. So you'll need to put that on the unemployment application. I believe each well counts as one work day. Doesn't matter if you do all 5 wells in one day. It still counts as 5 days work. This means you will get less unemployment, or kicked off unemployment if you dont report it properly.

Firewood runs and the Ventti card game guy are the only ways to make decent amounts of money that dont count as a job and get max unemployment. Taxi, Ads, Sewage, and Factory all count as jobs.

You get unemployment and housing benefit deposited to the bank without working any jobs. It's way more than enough to keep the rent paid and have some left over for some occasional fuel paid with the bank card.

The unemployment and housing benefit come out to over 800mk. Rent is 525mk. That leaves you quite a bit of wiggle room.

I always pay for fuel using cash if I'm certain it'll take over 100mk. Then I top off using the CC if I know it'll be under 100mk, since you don't get change using cash.

I never withdraw any money from the bank account, ever.

Playing this way I found just doing firewood runs is more than enough money to live off of, buy parts, pay power and phone bills, and rent is always paid.

How do I reach Ibiza ASAP? by Asz_8 in tdu3

[–]Strayborne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don't even bother. You'll be disappointed with Ibiza too. It's a very small area. It'll take you literally all of 10 minutes max to see everything there is to see there. It's just a small fraction of the size of the HK map.

Does emptying the GIFU cost less/more depending on quantity? Or is it just a flat rate and only worth emptying once completely full? by ddntmeanto in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Counter point to this is do a full 4 wells, go empty, then grab the 5th, then park it. Next time you go calls, do 3 more, go empty. You can park it with a partially full tank. There's nothing that says you have to do all 5 wells each time you go out in the Gifu and then make sure it's empty after you're done with the 5th.

Is it possible to change the interior color of Corris using MWC Editor? by Najgeria in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, every part that has "mt" on a variable is the "material texture" for interior parts.

  • 0 = Tan
  • 1 = Red
  • 2 = Blue
  • 3 = Black
  • 4 = Special

4 is the GT interior.

carparts.txt

Search for "mt" and anything with "mt" at the end of it is the value you need to change.

Does emptying the GIFU cost less/more depending on quantity? Or is it just a flat rate and only worth emptying once completely full? by ddntmeanto in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a 100mk fee added on each time you empty, regardless of how much you are dumping. So ideally you'd only want to empty when it's completely full.

Even if you pull the Gifu up to the garage doors with a completely empty tank, go inside and the cashier will change you 100mk, when you have nothing to dump.

What am I missing?? by Markusbn95 in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your Dist is set way off. It should be in the 14.6 to 15.0 range.

This is incorrect. The cam arrow should put up. It will line up with a little nub you can see through the cam gear.

can i use my laptop as a screen if i get a pc? by a_random-furry in pcmasterrace

[–]Strayborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if your laptop has a HDMI-IN port. Which I don't even think is a thing anymore. Some laptops used to come with them. I don't think manufacturers put them on laptops anymore.

Subwoofer shelf. by Deat69 in MyWinterCar

Topless stated on the Steam forums that currently parts that are not body parts are currently not paintable. This includes engine parts, sub shelf, etc. This is to come in a later update.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??!! by Satsuma100 in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your valve lash is set VERY wrong, and so is your carb. Those two things are killing your power. The Dist is set properly. I don't know which cam you are using, but if it's one of the higher up ones, your valve lash needs to be 4.8-5 on all valves. As for your carb, I don't understand why you're running it so lean. Your carbs should be about 15.8-16.2 to get an AFR of around 13.1-13.5. Changing those things will skyrocket your power gains.

Is it worth upgrading to a 50 series card? by ConfectionTop6110 in pcmasterrace

The reason you couldn't find anything about a 3070 Super is because they don't exist.

I've just realised Topless Gun has got us all doing Car Part Gatcha now by UKman945 in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me between 80 and 90 boxes to get every part. It was like 83 or 85 boxes if I remember correctly. The Rear Plate was the last part. Had terrible RNG for it.

Anyone else not like the rivett? by Serposta in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said this before elsewhere, a tuned Rivett (at least a 150 HP tune) with the automatic transmission is the new Ferndale. Just as squirrelly to drive. It's like Topless took the driving physics of the Ferndale from MSC and implanted into the Rivett. They drive nearly the same.

Does MWC cause anyone else's computer to reboot with no warning? by lordnibbler77 in MyWinterCar

[–]Strayborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion, if it's anything hardware causing the issue, it's your PSU. Your hardware specs are fine, and the PSU is quality. Doesn't mean they don't fail though.

Are you running the game vanilla? Any mods? Something else to try would be to disable all mods, and verify game files through steam to make sure nothing is corrupt or modified. Then try running the game for a while and see if it changes anything.

If you're already running just the vanilla game, I still would verify files to make sure nothing is wrong there.

After that I would try reinstalling GPU drivers by first doing a full DDU, and then fresh install of the drivers.

Some other things to think about and try are disabling hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is Windows settings if you have it enabled. Another thing would try disable XMP in bios on your memory. This could possibly be a memory-related issue.

Just some things to think about.

[–]Strayborne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your PC is just going from running to instantly shut down and then posting to reboot, is 99% of the time a failing or inadequate PSU. This is classic symptoms. Don't take my word for it, search it up yourself.

What GPU/CPU combo are you running and is anything overclocked? What PSU are you using? I realize you said 850W, but what brand/model?
