    My "Brick Rigs" laptop has its middle row broken. Try playing a "WASD+Mouse" game with just "W+Mouse"

    It's an old 2015-ish HP laptop, somehow it gets 40 fps in BR though, (I think the laptops capped at 40 fps). Anyway, old laptop+repeated heating=wear and tear.

    I changed mine to a Toyota MR2 Spyder. A friend of mine has one and I want one.

    Which one is better though?

    I found one that looks better (in my opinion).

    I had to remove the numbers using google canvas, thankfully the eraser is good at squaring things off.

    I don’t understand the point of blurring plates unless it’s your car.

    This is a looping GIF I made of the gauge cluster startup on my 2015 Honda CR-Z. I went through 9 different iterations before I got one that was small enough to upload and that played nicely with the site's profile picture formatting.

    Here's the 2nd iteration, which was a fifth of the size of the first iteration, but still over 36x bigger than what I ended up going with.

    So nobody screws them over. Would you like to be randomly reported for a crime you didn't do, just so some 12-year-olds can have some kicks?

    If it's on the Internet, who cares? Someone already posted the picture with the plates included. I can see plates all the time in real life, so why would I report one I saw online?

    Oh, that would explain why all of your screenshots are so wide. Also, that's one impressive rig

    Thanks for taking the time to reply 'LegThePeg'....yes, my Sim Rig set up is 'Triple Screen' monitors ( specs at present in my Signature) and I like to use the ultra wide format to not only show the Vehicle but also showcase the Map environment the vehicle is in.
