  1. Had a bit of a practice yesterday, probably will do some more before Tuesday as I'm a bit rusty!
  2. Watched Jack Frags trying it out bit not bothered trying personally. Looks ok I suppose.
  3. I read today that the new PS5 version, being sold so far only in Japan and Australia, has lost part of its heat sink, so while it's 300mg lighter, it runs about 5 degrees hotter. I'd stick with the original.
  4. Good news is that the ACC PS5 upgrade is in February and will be free to PS4 owners.
  5. Just use it like the old 'reserve' fixtures, kids, fringe squad and those returning from injury.
  6. Just the way the ball moves is horrifying. What the hell are they doing 🤨
  7. It can be flown in space or across land, has some weapons and is so much fun to fly. Not crashed it yet. My next mission is to get it into my ship. It's a tight squeeze but it'll fit.
  8. Two Europa draws today. The Conference League Trophy has about 80% teams I have never heard of. Embarrassing to take part, so hopefully it'll be used to give fringe and youth players a chance.
  9. Coming back from injury I think!
  10. Well, I finally earned enough in game to buy this little beauty. My main ship is the Drake Cutlass Black and also features in this vid.
  11. Good chance I won't back it home in time either, so let me know if anyone wants to copy the lobby set up!
  12. First race only will have qualifying. Race 1. Blue Moon Spoedway Gr.3 30 laps 😁 Tyres x2 Fuel x 2 Any tyres Race 2. Kyoto Yamagiwa II (never tried this reverse track before) Gr.4 7 laps No tyre or fuel use Hard and medium tyres. Both sets must be used. Race 3. Dragon Tail - Gardens II N200 No fuel or tyre rules
  13. The party system is shite, the worst I have ever encountered. The UI itself is pretty poor IMO and doesn't make a lot of things clear or easy. Particularly around game versions.
  14. Happy birthday man, and welcome to the 40 club🙂
  15. 40 quid on PC had decided where I'm buying it. PS5 version in a sale later on maybe.
  16. Nice review! I was worried it would be too close to Civ and be a bit jarring in that respect. I'll probably pick it up around Xmas time as I've booked holidays from work from 10 December unyil January and will have time for it. I played a bit of Civ 5 recently and I can't keep doing late nights and work the next day 😁
  17. Reminds me a lot of BF4. So much so, I'm currently reinstalling it plus all the dlc and community add ons. Honestly, "monkey see, monkey do" should be my gaming bio. The PC version of 2042 has been on sale green man gaming for £40 a couple of times but I've resisted pre-ordering so far.
  18. Nice one man, if you get it installed this week let me know and I can show you the ropes 🙂
  19. It's running the best I've ever seen it, so well in fact I keep jumping on late at night to do a few jobs. I noticed one specific bug that has been fixed that made me happy. I had to deliver some tungsten to Port Olisar. But when I went there I landed on the wrong strut. This is usually very annoying as you can't go inside and walk between struts, they're all self-contained. So you have to space walk to the other strut while carrying a crate. It used to be a 50% of dying when you land as the character would fall over and break his neck.... but I chanced it and now when you land, instead of falling over I landed very gracefully. Great qol improvement as i often make the mistake of not paying attention when I'm asking for permission to dock and end up in the wrong part of the space station. I'll be on a bit today and this week as I'm now at 250k and just 20k more to buy a dragonfly.
  20. For the next week the game is free to play, with a choice of six ships. I'll link to the website in case anyone fancies a try. They do free flight weeks every once in a while but this is probably the first time I've been happy enough with it's state to bother sharing on here 😁 Fly For Free in Star Citizen Alpha 3.14! - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 ROBERTSSPACEINDUSTRIES.COM Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron...
  21. I just turned on RSVP, hope that's ok sir👍
  22. I've been on the special edition a bit recently on PC, it's still a great game but yep they sure have milked this one. I have the Xbox 360 and both PC versions myself 😁
  23. Well done to all, another great season of racing and getting tighter all the time. Personally, I'm never touching the Gr. 4 Nissan ever again, could not compete in that class at all but it was still a lot of fun trying to get the best out of it. We'll have a few weeks of fun races before the next season starts and if anyone on PC fancies some Assetto Corsa I think we'll look to do something there as well.
  24. Must have missed a BOP update as, after some testing at Le Mans, the VW Beetle and Toyota Supra both top out at 176 miles an hour. Porsche, Nissan and Poohgeeoh all top out at 175!
  25. DICE are keeping this to themselves for the time being, so all we know is as follows: Dataminer Temporyal has been through the recent Battlefield 2042 closed alpha and found references to persistent gear and permadeath, with Escape From Tarkov working something like a roguelike where if you die you lose all your equipment. There don’t seem to be any unique maps for the mode but Temporyal has found evidence of Orbital – the map from the technical test – having a specially modified version for Hazard Zone – which is likely to be true for other maps as well. Both Hunt: Showdown and Escape From Tarkov are PvEvP games, which means you fight both other player characters and computer controlled enemies. This appears to be the case for Hazard Zone as well, including Tarkov style boss characters. Uplink towers will allow you to call in help, like an ATV or robot dog, but enemies can also radio in for reinforcements. The goal of Hazard Zone seems to be collecting data from crashed satellites and other devices, although completing the mode appears to work more like The Division’s Dark Zone than it does Tarkov, with the ability to call in an evac helicopter.
