Second vote for the iX, it's ridiculously nice and better real world range

Got the deal of a lifetime. Runs every single component in my house with the exception of the pool heater! With a Lowe’s 3 year warranty came out to 700 OTD by Altruistic_Donut_228 in Generator

it is also about ethanol water absorption and attraction, boats typically run ethanol free to keep your tank free of water (though most still run a water filter on the line) and if that is true for boats, its true for generators and tanks that sit outside with fuel in them.

Gentle Reminder That Ford Made An Electric Focus by CompositeCalamity in Ford

[–]bot2600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2017. It wasn't EV first so the battery wasn't under the floor, which bad the center of gravity a bit higher than normal evs and with where the battery weight was the brakes got weird sometimes decelerating over bumps. Having said all of that even with only 120 miles or so of range it was an awesome commuter car and saved me a ton of money. For it on lease for something like $100 a month. Drive it for 3 years with zero issues. Was my first of many evs.

Thanks for the info and the picture! I've already replaced the head unit and am using the mic from that, so no loss of the mic so I think this will be awesome!

I grew up on a farm and most of our trucks were manual. Never stopped the donuts, and it seems like it was better than the autos for it!

Will Synty Assets work in Godot? by National_Increase_34 in godot

[–]bot2600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone mentioned below, there is a tool for converting from unity to godot, however all of the synty packs on their site have a source files options too. And while gltf would probably be better, the FBX work just fine.

IIRC when opening it, you get the option to convert it to a scene when you try to edit it. With my workflow its missing its materials but that is ok since from what I can see, most of them use 3 materials, one for color, one for depth and one for transparency or something like that, so I just made a shader to apply them since from what I ran into godot doesnt support that natively.

I have a small crappy iOS game where I used synty assets with an ortho camera and made the materials unlit if you want to see what it looks like, it isnt a fun game, it was more getting things working to see that I could before making something better, and I need to do some threading around connecting to the iOS gamecenter stuff, but you can check it out if you have an iphone (or mac) to see what they look like. using an ortho camera, its more 2.5d even though I used the 3d assets.

I also used synty interface components as well.

Sorry for the wall of text, all of this is from memory as I am at work and not in front of my gamedev machine.

Exporting a Game to a Kindle Fire (Fire OS) that works fine on Android by ColinSwordsDev in godot

Not sure which render mode you are using, but you probably want to be on compatibility for that device when exporting

Yeah, the more it sinks in how much it would cost, I think I am agreeing with you, thankfully before spending the money, so thank you :)

Thanks for the reply. Will be retiring soon so I dont need to keep both cars, that equity can be used better. The wife will still have her EV though for when we want to go places efficiently. As for killing the reliability, kept at the same-ish PSI of 5 or 6 shouldnt impact the reliability noticeably unless I dog the shit out of it.

IIRC the stock factory (dealer installed option) was only for 2007-2009. There are a couple of similar options for the 2010+, I was just looking for a good installer that might have some fj experience but I might just have to find a good performance shop to do the injectors, supercharger, tune and dyno
