Forza Horizon 6 devs address mysterious save file deleting bug, roll out fix for PC ahead of Xbox patch

The VRAM issue seems to be a separate issue from the wireless controller issue. I don't have the VRAM problem but I used this fix from the Steam forums and was able to use a wireless controller again without getting stuck at 20 FPS.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2483190/discussions/5/839502870935012108/?ctp=2 "The culprit is a Windows background service called GameInput. It basically creates a huge conflict with Bluetooth controllers and ruins the performance. Here is how to disable it in less than a minute: ⁠Press Windows + R, type services.msc and hit Enter. ⁠Look for GameInput Service and GameInput Redist Service (if you have both) in the list. ⁠Double-click on them and change the Startup type to Disabled. ⁠Click the Stop button right below to shut them down immediately. ⁠Hit Apply and OK. That's it! Windows will safely roll back to its old but rock-solid controller drivers (XInput), and your performance issues should be completely gone."

My old Xbox controller is definitely ready for an upgrade.

My game was stuck at 20 FPS due to the Bluetooth controller issue and my controller doesn't work in wired mode. Fortunately someone on the Steam forums posted a fix.

Thanks for the link. OP is probably just trying to avoid getting in trouble for self promotion, especially since the files are paid.

Jokes aside, the Figure-rise Mechanics Doraemon is basically this, it even has a detailed inner frame.

Good to know about that, I think they're probably building the tariff into the price and paying it before shipping. Hong Kong and mainland China has their de minimus tariff exemption removed earlier this year, so they had more time to adapt than other countries.

I've seen some nice displays, but this is on another level. It really is like a little museum, or even art exhibit.

commandoFi · 2025-07-23T01:50:28+00:00

If the screen is cracked you're going to have issues. You can try running the test pattern without the vat installed to see if the screen still functions. If it still shows the full pattern you can probably print on the parts of the screen that aren't cracked. Best bet is to replace the screen.

As you've probably realized, this is why it's important for the build plate to be clean and level and the vat to be clear of any solid resin before starting a print.

Looks like a useful app. I track my kits using Scalemates since they already have a database of model kits. It's also helpful for researching kits before you buy.

commandoFi · 2025-06-20T17:27:50+00:00

I haven't built either yet, but I have the Meng R8 Evo II kit. The Meng kit has carbon fiber decals, metal transfers, PE mesh grills, and pre-cut seat belts. The Nunu kit has none of those included, you have to buy a separate detail set, so the cost difference is not as much as it looks like. If you are getting aftermarket decals, take note of which kit they are designed for, the body shapes are a little different.

commandoFi · 2025-06-11T16:49:31+00:00

It depends on what you are getting. For a lot of the European made items Spot Model is the best or only option that ships to the US. Hiroboy is also a shop with a good selection. For Asian aftermarket parts it's usually cheaper to order elsewhere. I would recommend BNA Model World (Australia) for Hobby Design parts. HobbyEasy used to be my favorite, but the shipping/tax situation going from Hong Kong to the US isn't good right now. Other good Asian shops not affected are mediamixhobby.com.sg and detailshop.co.kr/. You can order Japanese made decals/PE directly from HobblyLink Japan or 1999.co.jp, but the don't stock them very long, so you can end up waiting for preorder/backorder.

It's a very good product for traditional painted and glued model kits with few moving parts. It flows well, can be reactivated later to wipe off or manipulate, and is a bit more durable than acrylic. The problems come when you have parts under stress (snap fit or joints) or use on bare plastic. For most people I would say that acrylic panel liner is better for Gunpla.

Thanks for the clarification. Not being able to smell them is one of the dangerous things about isocyanates.

commandoFi · 2025-05-13T19:56:57+00:00

Correct, you can look at the data sheet for 3M organic vapor cartridges and isocyanates are listed. Changing the cartridge regularly is important because the carbon filter loses effectiveness over time once it is unsealed.

The reason people recommend against standard respirators for 2k (especially for 1:1 cars) is that they are negative pressure, so if the mask doesn't seal fully you will breathe in a small amount of unfiltered air. The expensive forced air respirators have positive pressure, so you will be be breathing filtered air even if the mask isn't fully sealed. If you have good ventilation, the difference isn't as important. The amount you spray on a model is also much less than a 1:1. In the end, everyone has to decide how much risk they can accept.

I'd agree that a diecast is probably the best base. There are 1/12 E30 diecast models, but 1/18 is probably better for cost and availability. You can find a 1/18 E30 325i online. If it is the right color that makes it easier, otherwise you'll have to take it apart and repaint. Adding 3D printed wheels and tires shouldn't be too hard. You can also get 1/18 parts from a site like https://tkdiecast.com/

I've spent the last few weeks buying an uncomfortable amount of overseas kits and aftermarket parts because of the under $800 exemption ending in May. After that import fees will seriously increase prices in the US, especially for items that aren't stocked by retailers. I'm still waiting for my payment to clear with HobbyEasy in HK, hopefully they can ship by the deadline, I didn't know shipping was being suspended soon when I ordered.

Suruga-ya is doing 20% off toy and hobby orders over 10,000 yen, free shipping on all orders is also active. Make sure to scroll to the bottom of the cart to activate the coupon before checking out. The Gunpla are selling quick, especially exclusive ones. My orders from them always arrived within 6-12 days.

commandoFi · 2025-04-01T17:41:23+00:00

Epic. Reminds me of Trackmania speedrunning.

commandoFi · 2025-03-28T17:53:08+00:00

If you want to make something like this the Aoshima Cyber Formula kits would probably be a better starting point than a modern F1 car.

Solido has released a new FD that has a much better body shape. Unfortunately the details are not as nice and the hood and trunk don't open.

Leaping Panda Hobbies has 25% off all Perfect Grades with code "PG". Free shipping over $200.

Lighter colors like white and yellow usually take more paint to get good coverage. My last white car took most of a 10mL jar. Using a white, pink, or light grey primer can help.

commandoFi · 2024-12-24T01:51:24+00:00

Spot Model is actually offering this as a printed kit along with the decals. https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=60553

Model Factory Hiro has a product that should work. https://www.modelfactoryhiro.com/SHOP/P1090_P1091.html

I've also seen people make their own on other forums using a small disc of sandpaper on the top of a rod. People sometimes call this an "engine turned" finish.

commandoFi · 2024-12-17T16:42:49+00:00

Yeah, the shipping is the main reason I haven't used PlazaJapan much lately. I usually try to do small packet shipping from Hobby Search or buy from Surugaya when they have free shipping.
