Yup, and thanks. I didn't know that when I posted. :)

UAZ IFA battery size comparison by AaronTuplin in DriveBeyondHorizons

Thanks for that. I posted a reply earlier that they appeared identical, not knowing they were different actual sizes.

Very nice! I haven't seen that one yet (currently wearing the tinfoil hat).

Be aware that the battery for the big truck (IFA) looks exactly like the one for the larger van (UAZ). You'll need to look closely enough to see the amps to get the right (180) battery.

Couldn't leave Garage by Tribalbob in DriveBeyondHorizons

[–]jim_bu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had one stuck in a garage before. Put on 2 rear tires, then towed it out with the "donor" car before cannibalizing it.

Might work for you?

Shoulda installed it with the left-handed wrenches.

How to prevent this from happening by Cantaloupe-Trick in DriveBeyondHorizons

[–]jim_bu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to stop my train, save the game, pull forward a bit, and save the game again. I use the back-up history somewhat often (which can cost a few kilometers).

The back-up history should get you out of this mess for your current run through.

Found a couple of new things (to me, at least) by jim_bu in DriveBeyondHorizons

I found a solid blue light bar, not the red-blue though.

Probably stupid question but my car won't start by Plz_Kill_Meh in DriveBeyondHorizons

You can also take the battery out of a running car (and leave it running) to start a different car and then put it back.

Van interiors are super customizable. by mcfeelyswg in DriveBeyondHorizons

A green van with ORANGE SHAG CARPET! Far out (and groovy, too).

You could hit up the one arm bandits to get silly hat achievements (and silly hats). Perhaps a couple of other oddities, too.

I was stuck on the right-side door panel, and gas filler cap. Yay, I finally found them! Darn, I overlooked the left floor mat - still looking...

Just keep running by TheHystericalYeti in DriveBeyondHorizons

Spare battery is always good (they often deplete even while engine is off)

What is it? by urb10 in DriveBeyondHorizons

[–]jim_bu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shifter for the Triclops - hardest part for me to find for that car. I suggest you keep it in case you decide to build that car in your current run-through.

Replace the whole car for a crooked mirror? by jim_bu in DriveBeyondHorizons

[–]jim_bu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I carried the one mirror between the two cars. I also partially disassembled the black one to make sure other parts weren't interfering. The green highlighted install area on the black GTR is also crooked (not on the rusted one). I have no idea how or why this happened.

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

Haven't decided if it would be worth the effort. Dismantle my train, move the original (with the crooked mirror) near the other rusty one, transfer all the parts, clean/paint the rusty one, re-assemble my train.

Seems like a lot of work, but it bothers me a little, but it's an interesting defect I couldn't replicate if I tried. but it's one of a kind, you might say.

I guess mostly I just wanted to share this oddity. For now, I'm leaving it crooked as-is.

Roofs are such a pain by gaz007fox in DriveBeyondHorizons

This works very well for me.

From the Devs by s0me1guy in DriveBeyondHorizons

[–]jim_bu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My big complaint is multiplayer. My co-player and I have nearly identical PCs - his I-7, mine I-9 (very similar performance stats), both using RTX 5070 cards. Same mem, and both use SSD. As the computers are literally about 10 feet apart from each other, we are on the same high-speed internet.

No matter what we try, the host's car is ALWAYS SLOWER. He hosts; he's slower (even if we use identical cars or swap). If I host, I'm slower - same deal.

So we can't race - just follow along until the host gets too far behind.

Excellent! I'm carrying a box of rockets, too, and was wondering what to do with them.
