Exited with code 1f, that is familiar

Joystick mounts for H-shifter purposes, that might be something that sells better than custom joysticks, sim world could use some ffb shifters for sure

 

The Logitech G25 shifter is a joystick in disguise.


Its kinda funny, cause when I was younger I had always assumed that there would be some lever switches in there, or reed switches. But nope, its a joystick

 

Yeah, switches might not last well as shifter gets bit forceful use at times.
It lacks FFB though, so grindy gears effect is not possible with it. Logitech has no interest to add ffb as those console games are not supporting such, also games are not adding such feature as no hardware is available. Hacky solutions have been around for over 10 years for that, but nothing really has picked up much.

For example what FFB shifter would allow is if you grind shift enough and gear is jumping off, that would give proper effect as ffb would push joystick to neutral position.

 

Which in turn would make it much easier to drive clutch in a sim. The lack of feedback makes it impossible to get the timing right.

 

More work today. Now got crosswalks, and better sidewalk generation.

 

Was washing dishes and my socks are basically mini Atlantic Oceans now....anyway how was your day everyone?

 

Really annoyed all the time, I've got a kite, and there has been about 3 times I have been able to use it, and on the 3rd I crashed it onto some powerljnes (woops ). Now I got a bigger and better one, except now there's no wind. If there's ever wind, it's when I am at college etc. And why this year have we not had any bad weather, like the South East has dodged basically everything low pressure, I want the temperatures to stay low, want the winds to pick up, and don't mind that much about precipitation. We have hardly had a single storm this year, which is really annoying (but that storm was rather interesting!). I remember when we got storms at least 3 times a year or so, hardly anything now!

 

Opened up a container of ice cream, and threw it in the trash because it wasn’t sealed. What a waste.

 

Went to a show today. Was pretty cool.





Some beautiful Victorian engineering.


Also a nice car park find


Also tried some American imported sweets from the supermarket that I haven't seen or heard of before. They're alright.

 

ughhh, so annoyed that on Forza horizon 4, the tutorial is so f*cking long and restrictive. All the buttons (including pause) are disabled apart from the driving controls (accelerate, brake and steer are all you get) and that's after about 1 hour of gameplay. Soooo irritating, i can't pause the game! Do they just expect people to have like 5 hour long gaming sessions.

 

Played it for 2 hours and got an E28 M5.
Progression is good.

 

Just make sure to get the Peel P50 and fully upgrade everything, including the engine swap. Then you can be really successful on the drag strip.

 

Too bad I can’t really play it since I broke my collarbone.....

 

Today a friend told me about a 2007 Golf being rented out for 40€/month. I checked the offer out and it turned out to be a monthly payment of a 7-year car loan!

 

bought a new steering wheel today for my Mazda3, the original leather wrapped wheel has worn down quite a bit. luckily I tracked down a complete wheel, including all the switches and buttons (no airbag, mine is fine) for only 50 bucks. quite excited about that. Also looking at getting 2 new racing seats. Got windows blacked out the other day, going to try and find new leather shift boot and a new shift knob, handbrake leather boot and carbon fiber handle, new metal pedals with rubber bump grips, and then in a few months I am going for a little body work on the passenger side. Ill post a pic of the new tints We need tints down here in Texas, it gets brutal. Now, my car sitting in the hot sun all day at work, I dont burn to death, the ceramic premium tint really reduces the heat level to more than acceptable by itself, want to get a front window visor too for when I park it.

I found these nice Sparco ergo seats, but they want over 3K per seat....a little much lol but they come with heat/ventilation, electrically adjustable lumbar, headrest, thigh bolsters and lower thigh extension, memory foam, power adjustable reclining and height/rake, premium leather, all sorts of stuff. Might just go with a pair of 300 dollar seats, try them out. I need more thigh support, especially with the stick shift and terrible Austin traffic.

 

The idea of not hearing of "Mike and Ike" is really weird.

The staple of "mediocre candy near the bottom of the bowl that you get instead of a chocolate bar"

I also can't get FH4, because i spent all my damn money on the UCS millennium falcon last year.
(First Christmas present I've gone in debt for)

 

Do you actually have all those supercars?

 

Yea we have a stable of cars, lucky enough to be in a family that owns car dealerships. I have a pic of the Bentayga and California, I can snap some more photos of the rest of the cars whenever I think about it and im home lol
--- Post updated ---
shitty pic, but thats the bentayga and you can barely see the california. this is the only pic on my phone at the moment, i dont usually take pics of the cars lol

 

You really need to have laptop or phone showing this thread with photo of the car or those guys are not going to believe you.
