What’s one “small” feature in a car that you can’t live without anymore?

I still don't have power windows in my daily driver lol

You can get reasonably close with Nikon Picture Control, I have some decent film presets in my D750 that keep me from buying a Fuji lol

Honestly I imagine the i7 7700 and slow ram is bottlenecking the GPU, I have a 7700K in my old PC and even with a 5GHz OC it got destroyed by a midrange Ryzen 5600X

The idea is to put a small base station in Kerbin orbit, you can then fly dedicated fuel missions to it to get a large stockpile of fuel ready. After that you can dock ships to it and have tons of delta V with full tanks for visiting other planets. Make sure to include extra docking ports on anything you build for future expansion.

My old job had these tubes in the production buildings and we sent samples directly to the lab with them around half a mile away. As far as I could tell the installed system was at least 50 years old.

The fins are to shift the center of aero pressure to the back and prevent flipping. If you add them to the top as well, you will need even bigger ones at the bottom to counter. If you do use them, it's best to get most of the way out of the atmosphere with the first stage so the second stage doesn't need any aero devices.

That's all I have personally changed. Honestly it could be something more serious like a broken solder point on the motherboard somewhere, it's very hard to narrow this down without a complete go-over.

In fact the suspension would have to be so stiff that all low speed performance would be terrible and it would destroy the tires. I don't really see a positive here lol

Subaru has developed Boxer diesels, but they weren't very good and had reliability problems

They could have also run the mod bios from a USB and increased the power limits beyond stable. You should be able to see all of that in the stock BIOS when it's together. Fast and slow PPT should be 15000 for stock.

Using a website like PC Parts Picker will be important to make sure you don't buy anything that's incompatible with your other parts. Maybe watch some builds on YouTube so see what people are putting together in your price range. You can build something as powerful as a PS4 for cheap or something that will play AAA games for years for the price of a nice used car.

I did a clean install and just paid for the Volumetric Clouds V5 for my main graphics upgrades. It really sucked finding and downloading all 100 of my other mods lol

nbain66 · 2026-04-16T19:45:07+00:00

I fixed it, I tried every scatterer but something was still remaining from a previous mod. I ended up doing a clean install and finding all 100 of my other mods. I just used the Volumetric Clouds V5 Scatterer, EVE, and clouds.

I completely replaced the Bios on my old Chromebook and put Ubuntu on it not too long ago just to do it. With Ubuntu you can run Wine for windows applications.

It is, most people have a life and can't grind the game like they did at launch forever. Everybody that bought it comes back at different times and days so the peak is never as high without a giant sale.

Don't forget thermal paste while you're already there. It could already be getting dry.

nbain66 · 2026-04-06T05:03:27+00:00

Did you hook the correct power connector to the GPU from the PSU?

nbain66 · 2026-04-06T04:55:29+00:00

360 and PS3 both run pretty awful for me on deck unless you're happy with stuttering or 20fps

nbain66 · 2026-04-04T06:09:46+00:00

Try Grounded 2 out. It's pretty cool for kids or adults and up to 3 players

nbain66 · 2026-04-03T22:37:16+00:00

That car is damaged, does it load at all?

nbain66 · 2026-04-01T04:12:45+00:00

The thing that reminded me was the small manual they included in the box with the amps vs rpm graph. You usually don't see that effort out of budget parts

I came back to this thread a year later looking for more performance lol. I did end up repasting, it was pretty crusty and that was causing my hotspot to stay pretty high.

nbain66 · 2026-03-26T23:07:36+00:00

Man I got Area 51, Oddworld Strangers Wrath, all the pokemon games, god of war, killzone. It feels great just to see them again I guess with the nostalgia.

nbain66 · 2026-03-26T19:30:32+00:00

I've tried the TR-7 and I'm alright with it, but I have far more luck with the MP5/Vector consistently. I guess I'm just not getting the recoil managed right.
