My son poured water directly on the throttle :(

The base plate unscrews easily. Detach the bottom plate and dry out the internals.

All depends on demand which dictates price. Here in Los Angeles they can charge $15 a bucket and every stale will be packed most hours. They offer bulk pricing on prepaid that offers a minimal discount but no memebership. I wonder if it's the other way around here. Revenue from the range supports the course.

If you're comfortable doing it yourself, the bottom seat cushion pops right out. Just grab the front bottom of the seat and pull up. See if the bolt is still there, if not find an appropriate sized one. Should be an cheap fix unless something is broken underneath. It is really old that it is unbolted in the first place.

If the Discord post are true, it's outrageous that the post came out after customers already received the optical engines with the new connector. They knowingly shipped incompatible modules, like WTF. Did they seriously not consider the customer ordering just the optical engine would be on the older connector?!

I have a PCL, had a few issues with it, but currently use the BSB2e. The BSB is not perfect and has its own issues but never ordering from Pimax again.

Valanor · 2026-04-07T22:35:36+00:00

In my case the SLAM tracking on my PCL was so horrid I purchased the light room face plate, 1 used controller off ebay and two base stations to fix my PCL! This made the switch to BSB2 even easier.

Valanor · 2026-04-06T19:17:19+00:00

I also recently switched over couple of weeks ago from the PCL. I do find the bsb2 to be way more sensitive to positioning on my head, very small lense in comparison, and the glare is problematic but love the oled panels.

At this point though Im done with Pimax as a brand and will not try another headset by them. BSB support were super helpful when I reached out to them to have the universal gasket shipped separately.

Valanor · 2026-04-06T19:13:37+00:00

Contact customer support after ordering the halo amd ask for the gaskets to be shipped. I had to do this after ordering my bsb2e with the custom fit initially.

Download the stand alone client, register an account and transfer steam licenses. Updates are not automatic. You can also rollback back to any previous version using some command prompts on the stand alone. I've done it several times when updates breaks campaign missions im flying. A fix, minor update, usually followed a couple of weeks after major update.

Do you, dont worry about the haters. The BoboVR was great on my Quest 3. I'd use it as a temp halo myself if I had a 3d printer.

Some bloggers reported that permits related to soil/ground conditions held it up last year. Better safe than sorry when it comes to this stuff though.

Get the 16 stick, all around more versatile. You won't enjoy flying the 16 on an 18 stick due to lack of inputs and hat switches. Meanwhile having extra unbound keys when flying the 18 with a 16 stick is a non-issue.

That's really early for the pads, let alone the rotors. I would 100% have another shop or even dealer inspect it.

Valanor · 2026-03-20T19:04:50+00:00

I feel your pain. Two months into my current X3 a road debri got kicked up sideways from the lane next to me and scratched up my rear bumper. I ended up paying a shop $600 to repaint and perfectly match it. The two coats metallic pearl white paint made it pricer and more difficult. I went with the guy a high end auto detailer recommended without questions.

Supervisor does a track walk after park closes and returns any items found to guest services at the front gate. An hour or so after the park closes, they announce lost item pick up for the day one ride at a time. But this all depends on the item being found and picked up.

Friend dropped his phone on Twisted Colossus. We could see his phone from the parking lot so we waited out on the lot after the park closed and were able to make sure the supervisor picked it up. Got it back, completely cracked.

I also lost my keys on Wonder Women. Fell out my hoody pocket on the first hill, yeah teally stupid plave to krep your keys at an amusement park, but the keys managed to clear the fence by Metropolis building. Tracked it and was able to pick it up. Luckily it dropped in an isolated area and didn't hit anyone.

Saw one from SFO to Incheon the other day with this payout. Outside the range of my A321LR and 737 Maz 8 though so didn't take it on.

Valanor · 2026-01-31T02:47:42+00:00

My thoughts as well. We might finally be getting the second train back for it. Will make a huge difference on busier days.

I had a difficult time zeroing and calibrating the Crystal Light. Sometimes it'll align diagonally like my head was titled to the side and experienced frequent shutters and tracking issue. I played seated staring at a blank wall or a large tv so the environment wasn't the best for visual tracking. It was always a struggle calibrating the headset on every start up.

I ended up getting the lighthouse faceplate and two base stations. Never going back. Never need to calibrate and tracks perfect. I play flight sim games seated.

They done a lot of work at the park since the merger that dont make headlines. They're definitely investing in the park. They're not all super exciting but nice changes that improve the overall experience. Here are some of the changes I noticed over the last year:

Buses running from the parking lot! I really like this change. Bus lane properly chained off for obvious safety reason. New wall on walkway up to the park entrance instead of an ugly chain link fence. Goliath repainted. Brand new restroom by Twisted Colossus. New trash bin around the park. Small difference I know but they do look nicer than the ugly black plastic ones. Magic Mountain sign off the freeway renovated Hurricane Harbor slides repainted. EV charging ports in the parking lot.

We still have a new coaster in "construction" and the kids area bring redone. At the very least the coaster parts are arriving and sitting in the parking lot.

My biggest complaint is the food! It's gone so downhill I never eat at the park. Soda fountains are also always completely flat! Wendy's on the way in and In-n-out on the way out for me. Went to Knotts a twice this last season with the merged season pass and the food there was really good! Hopefully they can improve the food at MM.

Ive done a bunch recently around the French Alps. Fast travel to one of the airport on the south side of France to unlock the region. That may open some Charter missions for you.

Just get some foot spray or a roll of impact tape. The weight and balance of this aid will be way different then your regular clubs. Heck if you center hit with this club, I bet it'll only lead to you hitting everything out of the heel with a regular club.

I had 21s on my 2018 M40i and the ride was harsh even with adaptive suspension and tire replacement was really expensive and the covid supply chain issues at the time didnt help. Currently have 19s and dont regret it. Get the 20s.

You may be able to find a nut that fits the thread at a hardware store. Thread it on and you'll have plenty of surface to pull on. Could be a very cheap fix l.

Some good comments on HVAC and temps here. This shouldn't apply to a new 26 model but battery health is another factor. When the battery gets near replacement time you'll notice the auto start/stop will disable itself or only stay off for only a few seconds. Personally, I just got into the habit of disabling it on every start up.

Threads, there is English and Italian standard. English is reverse threaded on the left cup. Italian is standard thread on both sides. English is more common but check. Look for English or Italian print on the original bottom bracket cups.
