I get very wary when games are in perpetual 'Early Access' state. The first release was launched over 11 years ago now. Call it a day - release v1.0 and progress from there. It's like having an 800 page novel and the author still pissing about with the last half chapter.

Polishing a car is a dangerous path to follow. You use it the first time on your car and although knackered, give yourself a 9.8/10 for effort and proper smug view of your results. Then you find that you do it more frequently and while the results are still good - they are nowhere near that...

Yep - 8GB VRAM. Just came off Wreckfest 2 which is still early access. Granted they may tweak the graphical requirements, but not by that much.

You've got a point there. I've got these on my 182 at the top of the A-pillars. My ex also had a 182 at one point - very new at the time and the alarm used to go off randomly a lot with hers.

Yeah, Steve and Andy @ Birchdown are top blokes - but they are 77 miles one way away from me now. Nightingales are a tenth of that at just over 7 miles from work and by a quirk of luck, a work colleague lives about 300 yards away from them. Drop my car off first thing and get a lift into work...

As someone who's PC gaming dates back to the early 1990s - I agree with the physical content being a nice thing to have. Manuals, novellas, overlays, maps - all added to the experience. That said, I have not had an optical drive in my previous three PC builds. And on the extremely rare occasion...

True. But with that comes the complete and over-powering sense of superiority and smugness. Why be forced to drink Lambrini when you can savour Krug? :LOL: :LOL:

Video no longer available?

Had the OSF ABS sensor replaced at Nightingales. Finally got rid of the Christmas tree lights on the dash now. :)

Ah - I didn't check in there. Even did a search! :)

Interesting times ahead - though I can't help but think it's falling between two established points in the market. It's too lowly in overall spec for the PCMR - especially the 8GB VRAM when already we're being told that AAA titles are hitting the headroom that such capacity brings. Then...

More impressed at how cheap the VED charge will be, given the engine size being minus 1litre....

Think I answered my own question yesterday. Used an open bottle of Sonus SFX-2 that must be 15 years old. Gave it a good shake and went over the roof on the Clio due to various bird s**t and leaf marks. Came up really well - just need to do the rest of the car now! :P

Seems to be some information out there about cleaning products for the detailing pads themselves. Are they worth it - or is simple warm water and squashing the pads the better option? Cheers.

That, I definitely do! Think I'm going to have to be patient and be on the search for a decent darker set to come up for sale.

I have an irrational hatred for the standard light grey 182 lights. I really do dislike them. If there's one thing that I wish I could change easily, it would be these bloody things. I can never shake the 'sun faded' look that used to plague cars of a certain age - especially the external...

Had a dabble of the Porsche 935 earlier - a bit understeery, but quite good. Redlines very quickly which kept catching me out.

Like most triple-AAA games - I'll wait a while (read - years) until issues are ironed out and it all works well. Left 2077 alone for five years before buying and starting it and it was 98% stable. Hopefully as and when it arrives in PC land - Rockstar won't have the same head-wobble of RDR2 and...

Might not be a bad thing as I'll be removing trim at some point.

Was fitting it straight-forward enough mate? Was thinking of using the original aerial code to act as a draw cable to pull the additional leads through? Does the existing cable run straight down the middle of the car, or do it head off towards one of the A-pillars diagonally? Thanks.

Has anyone fitted a combination aerial base to their 1*2? Something similar to this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072J3JYQW/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Any successes or not? Just intrigued - to remove the DAB aerial strip from my windscreen really. Thanks.

I never even knew that these were a thing?

I did have an instrument cluster fail on mine a year or two after I got it. Thankfully, I returned it to Renault just a week or two before the warranty ran out and they replaced the entire thing. Unfortunately, they never did say what the problem was - but it did appear to be behaving similar...

Sounds like I should be keeping them, then.... ;) Never really had anything proper special. Mainly AutoGlym and Megs products. Probably have a few bottles with a few cap fulls in that could be binned I guess.

Hi all, I presume it's a 'thing' like most fluids and chemicals - that they have a shelf life? Started a clear-out recently of accumulated crap over the years and remembered that I have quite a few shelved bottles of waxes, polishes and various other cleaning fluids. I know for sure that I've...

Welcome aboard. :)

Well, well, well.... Just had a few minutes to see if I could see any obvious fixes graphically - and I've spotted a few below. No.1 for me that has annoyed me since the ACC days has been the texture pop-in of the grass banking at Oulton Park, when climbing out of Knickerbrook up to Clay Hill...

Hi, I bought it from here on ebay...

Nice one Andy - well described and interesting to read. It does sound like there's a number of bug fixes in there too. I've not fired up 0.7 yet, but will do shortly - I'll see if I notice anything specific myself.

As mentioned a few posts up - stay well clear of kit using Fresnel lenses. I don't believe anything new actually does any more - but if there's a cheap 2nd hand kit coming your way - check on the lenses first. Such a compromise to the primary function of VR - visual clarity. Utter crap.
