    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I think they're retargeting to go after the manufacturers of those plug-in tuners though. But again that was all diesel but they're looking at. The spread of people doing similar with gasoline vehicles for the purpose of emissions defeat was much smaller and so it was removed from the list of current priorities

    Eh, same story I remember 5 years ago. Don't make a business out of defeating emissions and you'll be fine

    Loving this dude's setup; the video is about him having modded his throttle so you don't have to backtrack at all in the video

    Just thought how sick it was that he made everything as authentic as possible; he has a more recent video of having modified his throttle for a longer throw (like the real one) as well as having redone the face plate and adding guards on the toggle switches

    That's some next level nerding hahah the problem i have with setups like his, are not cheap. If you are going to drop that kind of coin, why not get out and get your license, I'm sure that would be infinitely more enjoyable

    Here i am taking an antique along the coast at 10k ft. Love this plane.

    Fuck...I don't doubt I could probably get my GI bill to cover some of it?

    Damn I think I might just jump on now, haven't flown today and I need me some badass views.

    Forgot to mention, the Cessna audio pack is way more fucking dynamic than I expected!

    I'm insane, I have a trip to the Oregon coast coming up this weekend, and while I'm looking forward to the 550 mile road trip in my AMG, I've been flying in and out of the local airport with all kinds of aircraft for the hell of it. Sunset landings along the coast are usually pretty spectacular as you work your way below the marine layer and get the sun trapped between the clouds and 5000 miles of ocean over your shoulder.

    The audio pack really makes the plane more enjoyable. If the C152 had even a basic autopilot I would clock a lot more hours in it (yes there's a download on the internet for a modified version but I am not sure I want to download it from a non-microsoft source). The audio for the C172 bridges the gap for me.

    Lately I've been playing without the nav map and only using the in plane navigation, or navigating based on highways and landmarks. More challenging and fun!

    The latest update polished up the audio on the tri-motor. If you haven't picked it up, highly recommend. Tail dragger, slow flying, no flaps, and just the thrill of flying an OG aeroplane.

    I also found that my complaint of my local area being super laggy is specific to my local area. I can fly over other cities no problem so I suspect the game is bogged down by some sort of temp files it stores when flying in the same area a lot. I imagine the game would have to work harder to build downtown LA vs Boise, but the performance isn't suggesting that.
