There are periods of sunny weather, as well as periods of rainstorms, hailstorms and thunderstorms. Secondly, there are no specific seasons in the game. Weather is carried forward from Seasons, but it has a few changes. A day lasts 5 orbs (15 hours) while night lasts 3 orbs (9 hours). Instead, 8 orbs replace the standard time bar. While Sim minutes and Sim hours still exist, they are invisible. The time system has been changed in Castaway Stories. Some features (for example, swimming pools) have been removed. Objects are separated into 12 categories: Survival, Seating, Surfaces, Beds, Mirrors, Lighting, Cooking, Plumbing, Storage, Nature, Decorations and Fun.īuild Mode is mostly the same, though it has a few new categories, such as Resources. Objects in Castaway Stories blend in with the island theme, and a lot of objects from The Sims 2 base game are featured, but with a new tropical design. It is very similar to Buy Mode, but objects are categorized only by function. In The Sims Castaway Stories, Buy mode has been renamed to Barter mode. The natives named it "Wanmami" after the fevered whimpering often heard from shipwreck survivors washed ashore on the beach. There are numerous suitable places to make camp, and nothing particularly dangerous or ominous is visible from the water.

![]() ![]() This man flew the aircraft and could have held the rank of Sergeant or a rank as high as Group Captain. He was in charge of the aircraft and the crew. When the heavy bombers came into service the Flight Engineer replaced the co-pilot and the other crew members dealt with single specialized duties.įrom late 1941 a heavy bomber crew was as follows. The Observer or Navigator also acted as the Bombadier while the Wireless Operator also acted as an Air Gunner. The bond a crew had was important as it kept morale and efficiency at a high level.įrom 1939 until the second half of 1941 each aircraft had two pilots along with a double-duty aircrew. The bond amongst the crew was strong, the crew varied in age, came from different walks of life and different countries. They endured the same dangers and experiences. Each crew member was dependent on the other crew members and each had to fulfill his duties so the aircraft successfully returned to base. The crew of a heavy 4 engine bomber flying over enemy territory had to work as a team on the outbound leg, the bombing run and the return leg to base for a mission to be successful. ![]() The Crew of a Heavy Halifax / Lancaster / Short Stirling and B-24 Liberator Bomber Please make the effort to view the video and enjoy. This is a very detailed video and as the son of a man who served in RCAF Group 6 - Bomber Command it was quite an eye opener for me. I would think that the crews of Lancaster bombers would have the same duties and use the same or similar equipment that a Halifax crew used. It describes the bombs used and how those handling these weapons kept the bombs safe until loaded on the aircraft. It describes in detail the responsibilities of each crew member along with the equipment they used to achieve a successful mission. It also describes what the crew members were responsible for on a mission and where where they sat. This is an amazing video that describes the workings of this heavy bomber from the engines, electrical, guns, outer skin, hydraulics and the fuel tanks and fuel along with where the remaining fuel was following the mission and in preparation for landing at base. The video is titled The Last Flight of Halifax L 9561 and can be found on You Tube. ![]() I urge all of you to read the following and then watch the video produced by the Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial at former RAF base Elvington. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for the reply though, we're getting closer to the cause haha. Might be something weird with Mixamo? I can't say. I doubt it's something to do with Superpowers as it's showing the skeleton being weird when I toggle it on in the model viewer, but in Blender the armature looks fine. Basic Character for Beginners - MagicaVoxel SpeedArt/Tutorial One Gear Studios 36 subscribers Subscribe 5. However, I don't know whose fault this is really. Removing these transformations did help reduce the funkiness in Superpowers, but the skeleton is still way off. Hmm, so it looks like Blender was scaling my models down to 0.1 and rotating them along the x-axis by 90. That could explain the crazy skewing that happens after import. ![]() Also double check that the model object has no weird transform (translation, rotation, scale) on it. Going through Blender is indeed the recommended path because we know it exports COLLADA in a way that the glTF converter will consume properly.ĭid you try re-exporting the model itself from Blender, and not just the animation? Maybe Blender does something different there too. gltf clearly doesn't have animation info, so Superpowers is not lying at least. dae file (which is XML) seem to look like bone animations? I'm not 100% sure because I don't know COLLADA too well (and it's an extensive format), but I compared with and the structure looks similar at least. I looked at DANCE ANIMATION from mixamo/thriller_part_3.gltf (it's JSON), and the animations contains an empty object so the glTF converter somehow loses the animation data in the conversion process. Let me know if there's something else you need from me, and I hope you're able to solve this! dae animation file into Blender and export it that way, but no luck there as when I try to upload this file into Superpowers, the skeleton gets misshaped and skewed, and my model gets horribly disfigured.Īgain, thanks for taking the time to look over this. Upon reading this, I attempted to import the. I read that this may be due to how Mixamo handles animations, and that it only stores movement / not the actual bones or something like that. Superpowers responds by saying there was no animation found in the file, and nothing gets animated.gltf I get from Mixamo, the following happens HOWEVER, if I create a new animation and try to upload the.Not a big deal, and could simply be an error on my end gltf, the model shows up, but is rather small. When I go to upload a static, non-animated model into Superpowers, things are mostly fine:.Doing the above steps results in a number of files, including the needed.Once downloaded, I extract the zip I get from Mixamo, and convert the.For the animation-download, I choose '.dae' and 'with skin' in the options in Mixamo. ![]()
![]() ![]() So I was curious to see how Microsoft would respond to the critics while retaining a firm grip on the future direction it still very much believes in. But I never had any serious issues using Windows 8 with either device type. I understood both of these complaints still do. And the bigger audience of traditional PC users complained-loudly-that Windows 8 was a huge compromise, with Microsoft jamming a mobile environment they did not want down their throats. Put simply, Windows 8 disappointed virtually everyone: Those who were ready to forge ahead with modern tablets and other devices complained that it didn't go far enough and didn't offer an option to discard the desktop. If that doesn't sound profound to you, the year-long drama around Windows 8 must have happened while you were off-planet. And those with tablets or other modern devices can more easily stick within the Metro environment. For example, those with traditional PCs that wish to stay in the desktop environment can mostly do so, certainly more easily than with Windows 8. But Microsoft has made improvements in Windows 8.1 that lessen the impact of these transitions and provide more user control. In the original version of Windows 8, the transitions between Metro and desktop were often jarring and unwelcome, and impossible to configure. This design was of course the source of much frustration and complaining, though Microsoft positions it as a best of both worlds-type solution. The firms sometimes describes this environment as Modern, and the apps that run within it as immersive apps or Windows Store apps.) ![]() (Microsoft cannot legally use the Metro name to describe this environment, and it has confusingly not settled on a new term that was as globally applicable as Metro. As a transitionary product, Windows 8.x provides both a traditional PC environment, called the desktop, as a well as a new touch-first mobile environment that was originally called Metro. I think both definitions are OK and correct.Įither way, Windows 8.1 represents a more refined, or evolved, version of the vision that Microsoft has with regards to moving Windows into a new generation of personal computing that is defined by mobile devices instead of traditional PCs and mobile apps backed by cloud services instead of heavy desktop applications back by locally stored data. It is also sometimes referred to as if it were a new version of Windows, where Windows 8.1 is a newer version of Windows 8 and Windows RT 8.1 is a newer version of Windows RT. Windows 8.1 is an update for both Windows 8 and Windows RT. The first updates for that book will begin appearing soon. Also, Rafael Rivera and I are of course writing a new eBook, currently under the name Windows 8.1 Book. ![]() I will also be expanding my lineup of Windows 8.1 Tips going forward. Please refer to my series, Hands-on with Windows 8.1, which will be updated for the final shipping version of Windows 8.1 and with new articles going forward. This article is of course only part of my ongoing coverage of Windows 8.1. Note: No leaked builds, Chinese or otherwise, were harmed in the writing of this review. It won't answer all of the complaints, but Windows 8.1 is a big improvement for both desktop PC and mobile device users. And despite worries that Microsoft would need to fix issues between this product's release to manufacturing (RTM) and general availability (GA) in October, I can report that the firm has delivered a solid, meaningful update to Windows 8. I'm now using the final shipping version of Windows 8.1 exclusively on all of my PCs. ![]() ![]() ![]() It does not require your mobile device to be rooted.

![]() ![]() ![]() Such is the case with King's Quest I - III DOSBox max cycles runs at a "Goldilocks speed" where it is very fast but it is not hopeless to stop your character manually, and the cycles-based timers are not completely broken like they are on native DOS or ScummVM unthrottled. It breaks many cycles-based timers too badly.Īny platform where you can avoid turning the game to "fast" intermittently will almost inevitably be faster in practice. There are some question marks though: A significant minority, if not a majority of AGI games, cannot be completed on a fast native DOS system if ran wholly on "fastest". Those "billiard ball" routes are so well developed for many games by now, and I know that some of the more prolific AGI runners like Chuck, Bill and Lumo all want to play it like this. I am definitely sympathetic to anyone who would like the speedrun to be at a more reasonable speed, but perhaps the ship has sailed on that now. Even DOSBox 10.000 cycles is not that much slower and you will struggle to play the game casually at this speed, even though this is several times slower than even a 486, a system which many people will remember playing these games on in the 90's. I will say, since AGI unthrottled is so fast even on DOSBox max cycles, requiring the same "billiard ball" route as it does on native DOS, in that you will move in one direction and instantly arrive at your location (where you bumped into something), one might as well allow native DOS for those games. Likewise for AGI, only that speed 1 (normal) is what would be speed 3 in SCI0, that is 20 fps, and speed 2 (slow) is the equivalent to speed 6, 10fps. However, the vast majority of AGI games work much like QFG 1 EGA and QFG 2 for SCI, in that the speed selector controls the actual engine speed variable, but unlike other SCI0 games the fastest speed is 0, unthrottled. First, some AGI games run at a fixed speed like Donald Duck's Playground. For example, Laura Bow 2 is a game like this, where Bill ultimately preferred to play on ScummVM throttled.įinally we get to AGI, which is a corner-case. It is an open question of what we should do about these games. Some SCI 1.1 or SCI 2.0 games are too broken when played unthrottled on moderately fast hardware, and you are unable to complete the game on native DOS or ScummVM unthrottled, or even on DOSBox max cycles. SCI 1.1 or SCI 2.0 games that work well unthrottled are a point of contention.The King's Quest community does allow DOSBox max cycles, ScummVM unthrottled and native DOS for these games (KQ I - IV, and KQ VI), whereas for example Quest for Glory does not. Still later SCI2 games started to move away from cycles based timers altogether, to time-based one's like modern video games. Later SCI1, SCI1.1 and SCI2 games are unthrottled. King's Quest V as the lone exception runs at a fixed speed 2 (30fps). Some SCI1 games run at a fixed speed 1 (60fps). This is unlike later games where the speed slider only controls the "move speed" of ego. The in-game speed selector controls the actual engine speed variable and the fastest speed is 1 (60fps) and it goes down to 16 (1fps). Now, if the game has a master speed like this, and if the fastest speed is not unthrottled, then more obvious still this speed should be allowed in the speedrun.Īll SCI0 and some SCI1 games work like this. ![]() Obviously, this is preferable since it unifies all possible systems and platforms (ScummVM, DOSBox, FreeDOS, native DOS.) If running on a slower system it will sleep less to compensate. It is self-calibrating in that it subtracts the execution time from the previous loop. The way the wait function works is: (speed * 60 / 1000) - (currentTime - lastWaitTime). There are two fundamental categories of SCI and AGI games one's that have a "master speed" and one's that do not (they run unthrottled). This is based on all my work over the last several months improving the parity between ScummVM and native DOS. ![]() ![]() The top speeds is a pedestrian (but safer) 10mph (16 km/h) and you only get half that in terms of range. The Blink Lite is specifically designed for younger riders, so its weight limit is only 130 lbs (59kg) . The deck also has no kick tail, which is important for riders who don’t want to get off at the curb. Owner of this board say the build quality is solid, but the ride is a little harsh. People who want this usually have to spend more money installing a third-party solution. The board also comes standard with LED running lights, which not only looks cool but is a great safety feature. The control is an elegant Bluetooth remote, although personally I prefer a wired control for electric skateboards, since there’s always the change of radio interference or some other cause for disconnection. No doubt this is helped along by the presence of regenerative braking. The S2 has a claimed range of 14 miles (22 km) and top speed of 18mph (29 km/h). The incident with the Galaxy Note 7 notwithstanding. They are made by Samsung, which is a very safe choice. The batteries themselves are unlikely to burn down your house. The S2 is rated for inclines up to 20%, weighs just under 7 kg and takes up to 90 minutes to fully charge. When it comes to skateboard, you can be a little heavier if you’ll put up with worse performance. It’s recommended weight limited is 250lbs or about 113 kg . The most appealing quality of this skateboard is its use of hub motor, which means that it would definitely require low maintenance and yet provide a long lifespan of the motor.The Blink S2 is a funky-looking board equipped with two hub motors that together produce 1000W of power. Moreover, it provides you with the regenerative braking system to save power and for safety assurance. This skating board also boosts of its 8% hill grade, which is sufficiently decent for the audience to attract. Such a speed assures both adventure and safety for them.Īs far as the deck is concerned, the manufacturers have made use of the solid Canadian maple wood which not only gives this skateboard a good look but also durability.Īdding to the good looks, there are 70-mm wheels equipped in the skateboard. This electric skateboard is equipped with a 450-watt motor electric power which is more than enough for a young adventurer.Ī unique property that it has is its 10 mile range per hour, providing the best speed for young adults. For extra security, this electric skateboard is equipped with LED lights that allow it to be visible at night time to pedestrians, traffic or anyone else, hence, minimizing even the slightest chance of accidents. So your kid can take it to his school, or to park without any hassle.Īnother thing that might worry you is safety while skateboarding. ![]() Putting an end to your worries, Acton Blink Lite Skateboard weighs just around 7 lbs. The first thing that comes into mind is a kid’s ease to pick up the skateboard and carry it around. One might think of certain qualities that should definitely be in a skateboard designed for kids.
