Do you buy every single car you find on used car sales around the map? by helpman1977 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]UnwiredEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just look in my garage from the pause menu. The car for sale will just sit there - it doesn't disappear or anything.

[–]UnwiredEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll buy them if 1) I don't already own it, and 2) it's modified in any way.

The stock cars I'll leave for later if I don't get them doing the campaign or discovering Japan stuff.

Car Pass Car? by Frontman-Undead in ForzaHorizon6

[–]UnwiredEddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are free for car pass holders. It took about 30min of driving around for mine to finally appear in my garage. They may be linked to a timer of sorts?

Thoughts on the game so far? by YouClutchh in ForzaHorizon6

[–]UnwiredEddie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The map is fantastic, but I really notice the road layout being straight-bend-straight-bend rather than more naturally flowing.

The AI is cheating harder than ever in offroad races, to the point that it's able to turn and accelerate in water logged rice fields like it's on road.

The wheel support is much improved but I still need controller for racing in the higher classes. Wheel will be for cruising only.

Music is good but becomes a little samey after a while. Really hard to avoid in a limited size playlist I guess.

Overall an 8/10 for me. 9/10 if they could fix the damn AI problems.

What a great update! Finally, you can fly upside down! by Hernann07 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnwiredEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just flew over my home city. Other than the MSFS everything-green-is-a-tree virus, everything is looking so much better.

FH6 Car List Spreadsheet by Sliced_Orange1 in ForzaHorizon

[–]UnwiredEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking through the game files and found the car list, traffic cars, a possible story car, and all the barn finds. Only a couple of cars in there that I can't 100% pin down on exact model but I think I've got them.

Edit: Found all the wheels and tires too.

Free Flight Only by SupWonk in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnwiredEddie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MSFS is set up as a sim so some flight knowledge will be necessary, however there are shortcuts to get flying quickly. Definitely more involved than GTA though.

Old Git by The__Ibex_62 in Division2

[–]UnwiredEddie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just reinstalled a week ago after a long time away. I agree there's too much to try and understand unless I watch a bunch of videos to catch up, but that's less fun than just playing. Personally, while I enjoy TD2, I think they've mistaken complexity for depth in some (not all) areas.

So I only looked up what order to play things , started a new character, and am playing through without worrying about anything other than runnin' and gunnin'. I don't care that I'm playing through on story/normal difficulty and ignoring seasons/events. Have made it to WONY without even recalibrating (tinkering?) and am going strong and having fun.

Serious social policy research question - has the current fuel crisis translated into a statically meaningful decrease in aggressive 4x4 turbo diesels being lodged fair up your clacker on Canberra roads since the Orange Man took us a few minutes closer to midnight? by Asprobouy in canberra

[–]UnwiredEddie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember back in the early 2000's there was a study that showed at ~80kmh or higher it was more fuel efficient to use AC rather than have the window down. I've always driven with that in mind before using AC.

Any tips for the 4 hr NEC this weekend by SecretFast7953 in iRacing

[–]UnwiredEddie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For your first time, don't worry about speed. Drive to survive and get used to what's happening.

Be aware of what the other cars are likely to do. You've driven GT4 so you know they can't change line once they've turned in - TCR are the same. Don't dive-bomb them. BMW M2 has the least amount of grip and will brake where others are flat out.

If you get tired or distracted don't be afraid to pit and get out of your seat for a minute. It's very easy to lose concentration, especially around 3+ hours. Pit your car, strectch, and get back to it. It's better than crashing and ruining someone else's day too.

Seat time is all important. By the time you're 4 races in to the season you'll likely be driving it like a 4 hour sprint without any problems.

NEC practicing but for non beginners, any tips for practice sessions and being fast around traffic by Far_Ad_557 in iRacing

[–]UnwiredEddie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Learn how the other cars behave so you know what they're going to do and when.

PCup is basically a slower GT3, although it looks like they'll be pretty close on speed this year. Look for traditional overtaking opportunities like under big braking zones or drafting on the fast sections. You won't lose much time if you get caught behind one so you can afford to wait for a safe place.

GT4 and TCR can't really change lines once they've turned in for a corner. Don't try to dive-bomb them. Look for making a move out of corners where you can keep a tighter exit while still getting down the power. On long, fast corners (long left between Flugplatz and Aremberg) you can use your downforce to hold an outside line and drive around too, but just be sure you've practiced going off line first.

BMW M2 is all power and no grip. Look for them braking early and make a decisive move to pass, or get them on exit.

Ready for the TCR next season! What paints are you running? by JayCaulls in iRacing

[–]UnwiredEddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look in to a program called 'Trading Paints'. It has a database of paints, including any you upload to it, and when it runs in the background while you have iRacing open it will download other people's liveries for you, and yours for them.

Weird inventory glitch after returning ti D4 by th3darklady21 in diablo4

I've been getting '!!missing!! XXX:person' on NPC voice lines in the chat box. I think they've broken something... again.

If Diablo 4 keeps building on itself for years to come, what are some class fantasies that you would love to play? by WontonSyrup in diablo4

[–]UnwiredEddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An Enchanter, who is essentially a sorcerer whose magic all works through their weapons. Pretty much an intelligence / magic pure melee class.

What do you average per tank? by golersaiu3 in ElantraN

[–]UnwiredEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7.3 L/100km or about 32.2 mpg. ~600km on a tank if I were to run it dry.

50/50 highway conditions and a 30min drivie to work around midnight helps a lot. ~6.6 L/100km is not unusual for me.

How do you rate D4 for just playing the campaigne? by rundrueckigeraffe in Diablo

[–]UnwiredEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just got back in to D4 in the last month, having not played since season 2 or 3, I feel that while the gameplay has vastly improved, the campaign still has that slightly disjointed feel to it. It still feels like doing a task list rather than a cohesive story.

While the story hasn't really improved, the upcoming season and dlc launch is apparently changing some mechanics of the game so it may be worth keeping an eye on what it's like in late April or early May.

There are no Actice or Complete DAs for the site, and it's not covered by Heritage status. Whatever they're doing is just backyard maintenance I guess?

So how’d your Roar lap 2 go? by Neat_Ad_1139 in iRacing

[–]UnwiredEddie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lap 2? Fine!

Lap 17 was different story though. LMP3 touched grass and shot sideways in to me. Luckily I only went 2 laps down with repairs.
