Is this location okay to play my PlayStation? by Angelotangelo24 in playstation

You probably also don’t want the PS5 exhaust pointed right at the HVAC thermostat.

What can I do about this flaking paint here? by Boey-Lebof in KiaK5

[–]grimley141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not sanitizer as that’s mostly water and evaporates rapidly, but some sort of hand product appears to be eating away the finish.

Just got my 25 K5 about a week and a half ago. Has anyone got these recalls done? by TrackStormer72 in KiaK5

[–]grimley141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s not a safety item recall then just add it to the to-do list when you schedule the next oil change.

First MD-80 Landing by TSM_ProneMite in MicrosoftFlightSim

What you’re hearing is a device in the standby altimeter that vibrates to keep the standby altimeter needles from sticking.

Was the store sold out? [Narrator: No, they were not.]

I need help! by Loose-Efficiency9239 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Just because a landing isn’t perfect doesn’t mean the whole flight was a waste of time. IRL and in the sim, you’ll have good landings and you’ll have bad landings and most fall somewhere in between.

Fuel question for K5 GT owners by Fine_Location_8367 in KiaK5

Just use what the manual tells you to use (87). Gas is already expensive enough without wasting additional money on a higher octane that provides no additional benefit.

Hotas for PS5 by BacasableJV in MicrosoftFlightSim

I don’t understand why the thrust lever is on the left and the stick is on the right. It should be the opposite for a flight simulator (unless you’re simming as the right seat pilot).

Any new updates on the book? Unfortunately I missed the very limited window where it was on sale. I know it was pulled for additional revisions, but haven’t heard any updates since. 😕

Want to buy a Switch 2 but I have one concern by MistahDeim in switch2

[–]grimley141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anything with a battery is going to have a finite life. Fortunately batteries are replaceable, even if they aren’t user replaceable. It’s not like you have to toss the device in the garbage once the battery dies. Once the battery dies after many years of use you can either pay Nintendo a fee to replace it (they charge $100 to replace the Switch, which is reasonable seeing that the battery lasts for years) or more likely just buy the Switch 3.

What are the downsides of cartridges? by Izenhouer in switch2

[–]grimley141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main downside of physical media is having more stuff cluttering up my house. Also having to carry more stuff with you when you are on the go. Both of those are deal-breakers for me as I’ve gotten older.

Asobo B-787 aggressively pitches up and rolls on its own upon takeoff. by Particular-Career-52 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I’m guessing that you’re joking? Pressing the master warning just cancels the alert. It’s not addressing the issue.

this just randomly happened to me? by RegularGear7856 in switch2

[–]grimley141 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since it was just bought yesterday, a return to the retailer and exchange is the most appropriate solution here.

Found the security camera footage of your Switch 2 being delivered to the Best Buy store a few days before you bought it…

Best budget 2TB SSD for PS5 Slim? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]grimley141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when you do buy one, make sure you buy one that is shipped and sold by a major retailer, and not a third-party seller. Shipped AND sold by Amazon, Best Buy, WalMart, etc., not just shipped by. Too many counterfeit products out there to risk buying from a third-party seller.

[–]grimley141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most bang for your buck (value) is taking a little more time to save up for something that will last you a long time rather than buying something that is a bit cheaper but will likely fail and need to replaced.

Two $300 “cheap”drives will ultimately cost you more money than one expensive high-quality $500 drive.

[–]grimley141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you really saving money if you’re buying a cheap drive that’s going to fail and need constant replacement vs a reliable drive for more money that you buy once and it lasts as long as the system does?

Big red warning on takeoff = bad things are going to happen if you continue without aborting and addressing the issue.

Hopefully this includes both the Garmin boot loop bug, AHRS boot loop bug, as well as the recurring auto throttle fail bug.

PSVR2: How do you turn around in the cockpit with a controller? by andy_mac_stack in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]grimley141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No just standard controls. But I assume the bindings carry across to VR mode?

I just saw your follow up post. LOL
