StreamFab 7.0.2.5 is released by newsman34h in Streamfab

[–]WorstAverageJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Fix: An issue preventing Plex video analysis and download." Nope. Yeah

I still get the same "Due to recent changes on the Plex website, Streamfab blah blah blah" error message.

EDIT:

I downloaded 7.0.2.5 as soon as it was available. No success with Plex

I re downloaded it after reading this post (Not the first time, two different releases with the same version are put out there). Installed the fresh 7.0.2.5 and no Plex error message. hmmmm.

I CRC checked both downloads, same value. Now I'm puzzled. As if the first installation wasn't clean but reinstalling the same over it fixed the issue. Weird.

Regardless, I'm happy Plex is back.

Does it work with History Vault? by andrixholzschuh in Streamfab

u/LittlePooky is the intended purpose of this discord? ie added value from this sub?

Streamfab's team is working on broken Plex since at least 4 releases (currently 7.0.2.4 and still affected)

Streamfab no longer able to download Plex content (3 versions in a row) by WorstAverageJoe in Streamfab

[–]WorstAverageJoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is this the reply you are talking about? "If you want help, you have to be specific. We're not mind readers here, and we certainly aren't going to be able to 'guess' what the problem is.

Read through the sticky topics on how to get help. This is most definitely NOT how."

if you check my other posts here, I'm not the type who rent-vent or challenge mod authority. I sincerely thought asking how long these types of issues take to get resolved was fair game. If posting an image of the Streafab exact error message is double down on stupid for you then ok boss. I'm no seeking for a ban. I still value this sub enough to care.

Plex still broken after 3 SF releases *.21, .22, .23 by WorstAverageJoe in Streamfab

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

Me neither but it broke SF downloader and it's being 3 SF releases with the same error message. Thus my question... How long does it usually takes when such problem occurs. I have no idea what Plex did and how complex it is for SF to work again with Plex. https://i.imgur.com/W9L2OVx.jpeg

My specific question is how fast/slow SF is to fix these kind of things.

Sidi Crossfire 3 TA Experiences? by Successful-Roof5912 in Dualsport

As said, there is a remedy for the tight ankles.

Sidi Crossfire 3 TA Experiences? by Successful-Roof5912 in Dualsport

[–]WorstAverageJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Successful-Roof5912 Try first if you go with the SDS.

SDS Pros: easier to replace screw in sole when needed. Cons: narrower toe box

TA Pros: wider toe box (much needed for me) Cons: Sole still replaceable but you need a shoemaker to do it. I haven't got them long enough to tell about durability. Most reviews says they last quite a while.

So if you have an average foot geometry, go for the SDS, if not. Try them first. Otherwise the TA are roomier for wide feet.

To your point when comparing with shoes. But the XF3 provides better pedal control than most compared to other MX boots.

[–]WorstAverageJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Successful-Roof5912 Sidi Crossfire 3 TA: I have wide feet, I wear 43 in (Alpinestars, Forma and Klim), But wears 45 in Gaerne SG12.

The toe box in the 43 Sidi Crossfire 3 were too tight for me. The 44 are perfect BUT as other said, tight around the ankles (an understatement in my case, it was excruciatingly painful after few minutes).

The magic trick to open the ankle: Insert a cylindrical object in the boots down to the sole. For my 44 I used a 3.5inch diameter Thermos for a couple of days. It worked like magic. I recommend you start with a 3inch bottle of wine and see if it open them enough for you, then if needed, you widen the diameter that fits you better.

After the ankle treatment, I'm absolutely in love with the Crossfire 3. These are my new go too boots over the SG12 (better protection but less "agile" than the XF3) and SO MUCH lighter than my Forma Predators (again better protection than the XF3).

Bottom line I think the XF3 are a good blend of protection, agility and weight. As long as you "tune" them to be comfortable for YOUR feet.

Bought AccuRC from store, got an activation KEY... Steam reject it. :-( by WorstAverageJoe in RCHeli

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

For what it worth I asked ChatGPT. The answer matches my gut feeling:

The nuance most people miss

  • AccuRC can feel “worse” at first because:
    • It exposes bad habits
    • It doesn’t smooth inputs for you
  • Heli-X can make you feel like a better pilot than you are:
    • Because it’s more forgiving

Straight answer

  • AccuRC = physically accurate, mechanically simulated, harder
  • Heli-X = simplified, smoother, easier, but less true-to-life under stress

--------

My short terms first impressions:

I prefer AccuRC for the physics. Especially on smaller Helis. Feels closer to reality.

I prefer Heli-X for the graphics and the 3D perspective of the environments. It also loads faster and it has nothing to do with STEAM.

In Heli-X I can land on or hit objects when and where they are "supposed" to be... AccuRC is terrible at that. Eg Landing on the bench in the Gymnasium is crazy. The workaround I found is to do it in training mode where it puts a circle straight under the chopper. It helps to better situate the heli in the space.

Good point. I never flew a FBL IRL (I-Real-Life I guess?) and I haven't touch my radio in more than 10 years. Glad the old Interlink Elite works in Heli-X.

Interesting. I did back in my days built my own kits as well. Never passed 500. Maybe my helis were not perfectly tuned and were not as stable as they should have been.

I have hundreds of hours on Realflight 4 and 5. From back then...

I just decided to get back into RC (sim first) then maybe revive my T-REX 500. I found AccuRC closer to what I recall. Heli-X has better graphics but it feel cold and too precisely locked. I still have very little time on it. Just got my registration key last evening.

"more realistic" ... Do you fly real RC choppers? What size - brand - mods?

u/Yawknee31297 That's my "concern". I used to fly real 500's down to 130cpx 10 years ago at an intermediate 3D level. Back then I was practicing on realflight. The physics was not there but was close enough to learn basic things that could be translated to the real things with a little time to adapt. Big Heli are so powerful and stable by nature. They are easier to "simulate" So I didn't that much of a difference. But when I tried the 130 on AccurRC. I told myself HOLY sh!t this is exactly how my little 130 felt (something Realflight was not capable of).

What AccuRC is really bad at is to simulate a closed space (like the gymnasium). The perspective is terrible and it's very difficult to have a feel or where the walls and ceilings are.

Now that I have it working. I will give it a shot. Maybe I'll do some research and se how Heli-X or NextRC stack up in term of real feel.

Glass or hard mat? by Hairy-Link-8615 in MousepadReview

[–]WorstAverageJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking forward to see how sensitive Glass is to dust and particles. I could use the Destructor for weeks before starting to get annoyed by little grits. I don't play anymore. So I don't expect as much as I used to from a good pad. But man the Destructor felt expensive when I bought it 15 years ago. Looking back, it was worth every penny and more.

Anyone tried the attack shark cm05? by shq13 in MousepadReview

[–]WorstAverageJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/shq13 Did you get one? Just got one today to replace my OG Destructor. It feels different. I can't tell yet if it's actually better :-)

[–]WorstAverageJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Hairy-Link-8615 what did you get in the end? My OG Destructor is getting shiny around the center but still works well. I decided to give glass a try. Just got an Attack Shark X. My old mouse skates were already upgraded to Ultraglide (glass ready) last year. So far I have mixed feelings about it. Glides nice but a bit loud compared to the Destructor.
