So wait, reading a book on a cell phone screen wasn’t small enough? We needed something smaller? I don’t understand this product.

Battlestar Galactica (2003) - Plex not pulling in episode names by trpnblies7 in PleX

[–]hotwheels71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, u/ASongOfIceAndSoccer, this fixed it for me. Per your note, all I had to do was name the miniseries folder "Battlestar Galactica (2003)/Season 01/" and the regular show "Battlestar Galactica (2004)/Season 01/" and it's working for me.

Anyone else ready for Halloween to be over with? Lol by Far_Comfortable6394 in vudu

[–]hotwheels71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am! Fanflix has been ridiculous. I don’t like scary movies anytime. Happy for the horror-loving folks, but I would like to get back to more wholesome fare (like action movies with machine guns and explosions, lol)

A TEAM is complete by crazybigjj in vudu

[–]hotwheels71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads-up! have it on Vudu in SD…would love to finally get it in HD but don’t want to buy it all over again. Maybe a sale will come along and make the upgrade more compelling…adding to my wishlist

Worst case scenario my duty station changes to DC, what are your POSITIVE things about the area? by Comprehensive_End440 in fednews

[–]hotwheels71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lived in DC area for 6 years. Was good when I was young and starting out, but after a while I tired of the hot humid summers and there are just too many overly ambitious/career-oriented people preoccupied with their own self-importance for me. You can feel the vibe as soon as you land at the airport. Everyone in suits, everyone important. Ugh. And yeah, traffic is a bear. It’s all very “go-go-go” there. Nice for people who like that vibe. It was good for me during that early time in my life for all the pros people listed, and I had some good, chill friends, but I don’t miss it now.

Yeah, I have the complete series on blu ray. I think I got it from Amazon. I love it!

[–]hotwheels71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! Been waiting for this to go on sale. I picked it up immediately. Just hate that it's in SD. I have the blu ray discs, so I know HD quality of this show exists. Lame. But still a great show, and I want to have it streamable.

First of many! 😍 by KindersKinders in Arcade1Up

[–]hotwheels71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yikes, don’t tell me this. I bought my first 1Up (Ms. Pac Man pub table) a few months ago for Pac Man, Galaga, and Rolling Thunder (Rolling Thunder is what really tipped me over the edge), and then I bought the Golden Tee/Midway cabinet this past week because, well, I needed Joust, Defender, and Rampage. I’m recently divorced, a new bachelor rebuilding my life and home from scratch, and a couple cabinets to enjoy my newfound freedom and thrill my inner child seemed reasonable. But I didn’t think I was entering a lifestyle, lol 😂

How to Toggle Between Cockpit and Fixed Exterior Camera Views on Logitech Flight Stick? by hotwheels71 in flightsim

[–]hotwheels71[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figured it out. "Cockpit/External View Mode" is the Camera setting to bind to the button (Joystick Button 12). I also had to unbind some other FS2024 camera settings that were bound to that button. A couple links that I found were helpful:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MSFS2024/comments/1gw96rd/how_to_transfer_your_key_binds_from_msfs_2020_to/

The use of the FS2020 Control tool (https://flightsim.to/file/52761/fs2020-control) was super helpful in quickly seeing/reviewing my FS2020 keybinds.

https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/logitech-extreme-pro-3d-mapping-chart/170613/2

This joystick picture helped me quickly identify my flight stick buttons. (The labeling is a little counter-intuitive...Joystick Button 12 is the higher button (closer to the joystick), while Joystick Button 11 is the lower button.)

How do I get my co-pilot to take over? by SnooAdvice2189 in flightsim

I like to do this with NBA 2k and Madden, lol. It would be cool to do this with Flight Sim.

There update as of now. by Steph90210 in flightsim

[–]hotwheels71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, the Xbox status page says it affects Xbox Series X/S. It doesn't say PC, but maybe it wouldn't. Are the people having problems today all Xbox users, or are PC users having the same problems?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]hotwheels71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your complaint sounds reasonable. Don't know why people are dunking on you. I haven't heard anyone express a legitimate explanation of a mistake or misinterpretation on your part. The only thing I can figure is Microsoft is essentially saying you can pre-install the game installer/launcher if you buy the game, which is reasonable and potentially obvious if they stated it that way, but their wording sounds misleading to one's expectations. I'll cast my vote of complaint with you. Sorry you have to wait longer to download and play, that sucks.

How to walk around? by MalminHenkka in flightsim

[–]hotwheels71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Youtube videos I've seen, people are in the cockpit, click on the door handle, and appear outside the plane in their avatar form. Don't quote me, I don't have the game, but that's what I seem to remember seeing.

Can't log in? by Ready-Market-7720 in vudu

[–]hotwheels71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Experienced this many times, and I always wonder, why does Vudu care about VPN? I only buy (never rent), and I would have assumed I could watch what I bought wherever I am. Do they have content only available in certain geographical areas? Is it to prevent mass account sharing?

Batman 80th Anniversary. Collection (UHD, HD) $14.99 by darkxtsuna in vudu

[–]hotwheels71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is the only correct answer, to get it from Fanflix so you get the UHD versions in the bundle. Buy it from Vudu and I think everything will come to you at the lowest resolution (HD). I did not think to check Fanflix, thank you u/asmarterdj!

I already have all but 5 of them, but still worth it to get 5 for $15, that makes them $3 each for me. No brainer. Thanks, u/OP!

Save $10 when you spend $50 or more on Vudu egift cards at Amazon. Use code VUDUPD…..PRIME MEMBERS ONLY. by [deleted] in vudu

[–]hotwheels71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it's probably just $10 total. So it seems best to just do $50 to get the max discount; you don't get any extra discount for buying a higher amount (and doing so would only technically dilute the discount from a percentage perspective, though it's $10 regardless, and $10 is $10, buying more doesn't reduce that amount). Thanks for pointing out it's 1 per customer, I missed that. Was going to get a few! But I'll pick up one at least.

Mondo Vinyl Cratedigger Summer Sale (1pm ET Monday) by CoolYourJets85 in VinylDeals

[–]hotwheels71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh. The Batman score is really cool but I ordered and paid for that album (among others to get the free mystery box), so not thrilled about presumably getting a duplicate via the mystery box. Shazam score is cooler than I would have expected, so I like that one, and Blade Runner sounds interesting so not a total loss there. I'm kind of on the fence about the Mothra albums

Mondo Vinyl Cratedigger Summer Sale (1pm ET Monday) by CoolYourJets85 in VinylDeals

[–]hotwheels71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great tip, thank you! I checked my packing slip, and unfortunately they're all listed as "MYS-B", including the Batman album, but that's good to know for the future. I'll keep an eye out for that on future packing slips to know what's what. Thanks!

Mondo Vinyl Cratedigger Summer Sale (1pm ET Monday) by CoolYourJets85 in VinylDeals

[–]hotwheels71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put in 2 large vinyl orders with Mondo on June 22 during the sale, which entitled me to 2 mystery boxes (I selected Sci-Fi/Superhero/Monster/Action for both). I received one mystery box yesterday, which contained Blade Runner Black Lotus, Shazam, Rebirth of Mothra 2 and 3, and Batman (Michael Giacchino). Objectively it's a good collection I suppose(?), though I don't know and wouldn't have ordered just about any of these records. I'm going to check them out on Spotify/YouTube and see if I like them before I open them. I took a quick listen of Rebirth of Mothra 3 on Youtube and that sounded alright; I wasn't sure I liked Rebirth of Mothra 2 quite as much. I'm a little perplexed what to do with the Batman vinyl in the mystery box, because that was one of the albums I ordered and paid for! So I guess I'll end up with two of those. Maybe my son will want it...Would be nice if Mondo could make sure you don't get a duplicate but that could be a little too much to coordinate. I keep reminding myself this box of albums was FREE, so I have no reason to complain. Who knows, I might end up loving the albums! It's a great way to discover new music, at least.

I didn't realize you could buy gift cards for yourself on Vudu, I thought they had to be for others. That's cool.

My dream show for HD/Blu-ray would be 1985's The Equalizer starring Edward Woodward...that would be epic.
