  1. Simulators (Dog fights and stuff)

    IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey? I haven't played it myself but I have played IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 and I really enjoyed that. It definitely ticks the 'dogfighting' box. I'm not sure how similar it is though, since BOP is for consoles and 1946 is for PC.


  2. I liked it too. So your computer broke and you decided to make a MacBook out of Lego. You threw something that hit the power button and it ended up turning on, so you thought you could make a working Iron Man Suit. That's what I understood anyway.


  3. The Skateboard works in the same way as the Hoverboard: There are 3 different models, with Marty's Skateboard being the base model and the 1955 Skateboards added as extras. All 3 do appear separately but Marty's Skateboard is always there and it can be seen when the vehicle is stationary since it tilts, just like the Hoverboard. Maybe there used to be a glitch where all 3 show at the same time, I don't know, but they all work now:

    Press the replay button repeatedly while near a hoverboard, the texture should change.

    I just tried that, pretty cool. It makes vehicles change to a different extra. If you find a Hoverboard or Skateboard and it isn't the one you want you can just press the replay button until it changes to suit you :lol:


  4. Yeah, I think when you spawn a vehicle it is always the same in terms of extras no matter how many times you spawn it. When I was testing the hoverboard I always got Griff's Pit Bull when I spawned it.

    Like Deloreanbttf said, you will need to find one parked somewhere in the year 2010 or above, since they spawn with different extras so you'll find the different hoverboards. I think Deloreanbttf was talking about the one that spawns beside the Hotel Harrison in Washington Beach, so you can get one from there:

  5. I just finished testing the hoverboard in-game and all 6 do show somewhat separately.

    Marty's pink hoverboard is always there as it is the base model, the other 5 appear separately as extras and cover up Marty's so it looks like there is just 1 - a way to have 6 hoverboards while only using 1 vehicle slot. You can still see it when you are stationary though, since the player tilts the vehicle to the side and the overlap becomes visible:

    So maybe there used to be a glitch but they all definitely work now:

    why is there a solid green anyways?

    It is just another hoverboard model, like Marty's pink hoverboard but without the pattern on it. It was only bright green in that quick render because I didn't add the texture for it. In the game it appears in 5 different colours: blue, green, purple, red and yellow (shown in the fourth picture).


  6. Did you enjoy it Grim? I was tempted to watch it early but I am glad that I waited to see it in 3D at the Glasgow IMAX. It was my first time there and my friends and I were lucky enough to get tickets for the opening day, since it sold out soon after. I have to say that I really enjoyed the film and the IMAX was phenomenal.

    I also went to see Inception on the 16th and loved that as well, I thought it was a great idea for a film even though it was a bit complex for me.


  7. There was a fire at the house on the end of my street, 3 doors along from me, last night at 11pm. We were told to stay out our house for 3 hours because of the smoke and all we could do was stand outside and watch the flames. Luckily nobody lives in the house that was on fire, is had been empty for years. The fire service did a good job; they managed to stop the blaze from spreading and, after we got to sleep at 3am, the fire was out this morning. I got videos of the fire when I first noticed it and of how busy the street was.
