Re: Engage ludicrous value.

Into The Breach is free on Epic store this week.
Similar visual style to FTL from the same developers.
It's like giant mecha Vs giant bug chess.

Yes and even the frequency content and level is somewhat proscribed by the legislation. So they all might sound that crap in 2021.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Only my theory but I expect the reason why there aren't more is that battery size is highly correlative to cost whereas engine size is only loosely correlated. Therefore if you add cost increasing the size of the battery you don't make that saving back again in downsizing the ICE to a charging only...

Re: Rtx 30 series cards

Use something like CPUID or the like to track CPU/GPU usage during an MSFS session to see where the bottleneck is.

The 3070 looks like great value for the performance.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Those bigger wheels total ruin that updated Dino. Shame as I don't mind the concept and the colour is nice. Also, that Diablo VT that won its class is just about perfect, Harry (and probably the rest of you) are wrong about the spoiler. Similarly the big wheels look daft on Ian Callum's Jaguar too....

Fun Espada followup at a London concours.

Wished they'd spent a touch more time with the Stratos but I guess he's very limited by social distancing.

Re: Harry’s Garage

Just seen the Espada vid. Great rebuilt, only thing that looks naff is the perspex roof. It’s too flimsy so doesn’t reflect light correctly as it warps, looks especially bad when closing a door. Should have tried to get it in glass otherwise just covered it in sheet metal. Noticed the wavey reflect...
