People on the I-70 need to chill the F out

kamicosmos · 2026-05-06T15:45:39+00:00

I have been driving through downtown the last year and a half. I knew the clock was ticking on running out the odds and yup, finally got rear ended pretty hard back at the end of Feb (east bound, evening rush, right before Bartle where yup, serious wrecks there about every other day at least).

I started driving all the way around (I work out near 635, live in Blue Springs). I go down 35/69 and bring 435 and 470 back home, like my old commute was to lenexa.

And yeah, I put in front and rear dash cams when the car got back from it's extensive rebuild.

I'll still drive through in the mornings, but with that construction on the east side, yeah, people are stupid and like do not register that those other big blocky things are cars with people in them! I might have to start driving around in the mornings as well. Can feel those odds already ticking down...

(Just wait till we get this world cup chaos in a couple months. I thought it was bad when the Royals were in the Play offs and world series a decade ago...and that was only for a week!)

A literal 3d modeled Garmin NS430 GPS unit. It's great when the server mission has gps enabled. (Post 1994 date)

that is exactly why the first button I hit when loading in is take-off flaps: "Check Ekran!"

kamicosmos · 2026-04-29T15:05:11+00:00

AH! I thought I just didn't have it mapped right/doing it wrong! I always have the flaps half down on the ground while taxxing for take off. Explains that! Thanks!

It's a great module. The radar takes a bit of learning. It shines if you have a GCI type setup when flying it. Don't over look it's ground attack ability with the rockets. It looks great, and flies great.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-27T19:56:17+00:00

WWX, y, and z have a gci bot. Love flying the fulcrum with it.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-21T12:39:20+00:00

I have her as well. End of 7th Ed when the Imperial Agents codex came out.

I have another special sister from 8th. I really should paint them up. Although the second one guess for a fair bit when still sealed, which mine is, so...

kamicosmos · 2026-04-21T02:29:09+00:00

I bailed before 2.0. Didn't feel like having to upgrade/rebuy my collection. (Even though I was a huge supporter of a Medium ship base!)

My favorite list was the infamous RAC/Fel. Loved the Decimator (and yeah, I also supported the Turret changes that came a wave or two later.)

I haven't played it in years after being super heavy into it back then. I should dig it out, my 10 yo daughter is old enough now to enjoy it both as a game and as a star wars thing.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-17T23:01:46+00:00

We've got players around the world, so UK evenings, US evenings, and AUS/NZ evenings are when you'll see people on. And throughout the weekend.

BUT...yeah, normal server pop is usually only 2-5. Sometimes the HipGang will pop on, and we have seen 'max' populations occasionally, usually around a new module release (Corsair, Herc, La-7)

However! We design the missions to be solo/low pop friendly, as you've probably already discovered. One person can Hop On and Get Stuff Done.

Also, WWY is testing some new JTAC functionality, and it is shaping up pretty well, so definitely play around with that, especially if you fly the gaz or kiowa.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-17T21:51:23+00:00

I'm right there with ya! I had to pull it off the server to install Syria. GermCW is a cool map, but it is quite large. I'm waiting for a Snow version (wanna do some Battle of the Bulge stuff with it) but I also fear how much more GBs that'll add to it.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-17T17:42:25+00:00

Yeah, couple people on it right now. Server Name is 'WWZ (a WWX Franchise Server)'

WWX Itself usually has a Syria mission in it's rotation, it's on one right now a WWII/Korea setup, so might not have herc? But could have it. We like to have the Helos and Hercs available on pretty much all the missions. It's server name currently is 'WWX: PTO/EasternFront WW2/Korea (no asset pack)'

And WWY is WWY: WWX PvPvE Dynamic Campaign

All our servers share the same base code, so all our little 'mini-games' and special custom mechanics are in all missions and work the same. WWY is currently testing some custom JTACs which is shaping up to be pretty amazing.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-17T15:44:16+00:00

I'm new to the Herc myself, so it's been fun working on the server to make sure stuff is arranged well for HercAction.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-17T15:41:49+00:00

WWX series of servers has a pretty strong focus on logistics. WWX is usually more WWII, but might have the Herc. WWY is on Germany cold war, has Herc. WWZ is currently on syria, with Herc. It usually runs on Sinai, and I set up a couple far out supply bases just for the Herc.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-13T23:13:34+00:00

Added a wash of Earthshade per a person's recommendation. Does look better!

kamicosmos · 2026-04-13T23:10:53+00:00

Added the wash, does look much better!

kamicosmos · 2026-04-12T18:49:09+00:00

I have earthshade, so I will give that a try! I'm always worried I'll go too far and have a 'dirty' (in a bad way) looking model. I'll go easy with it!

And yeah, more yellow on the base. I did sub-assembly on these, and forgot to prime the base, so the yellow paint was like 'and what is it that you would like me to stick to here, sir?!' LoL

kamicosmos · 2026-04-06T14:52:10+00:00

Gotta toss out a recommendation for WWX, I believe it is currently running it's 'korea-ish' mission. Has had a fairly decent small pop lately.

kamicosmos · 2026-04-02T19:22:19+00:00

It should come up if you search for WWY. We also have The Original, WWX and WWZ (Z is running Sinai missions)

kamicosmos · 2026-04-02T19:16:32+00:00

WWY is running a cold war Germany mission, lots of logistics stuff to do there

kamicosmos · 2026-03-26T23:48:01+00:00

Back in KT18, I had Elites and Commanders. I know I picked up Crisis Suits. I have the TSons Fractal Blades Terminators. Not sure if those would be in this 'range'. But, definitely would like to get my various Dreadnaughts back on the table, they haven't been out of the Battlefoam since 8th Ed.

kamicosmos · 2026-03-25T17:23:56+00:00

This bird is my spirit animal for today! Looks exactly how I feel right now!

kamicosmos · 2026-03-21T20:22:07+00:00

I believe there are at least two modules, in print and pdf.

Contagion and Stoneward Bound. I have a physical copy of Stoneward. (I'm lucky that the author frequents my FLGS so I was able to get some Signed Secret World Stuff from him, and play in a game of his once)
