I think it’s possible on PC for RC racing games, but not sure about console.

Yea I think it's that. I seen it most used on PC but not consoles. Probably bc consoles are less programmable for outside hardware

I would absolutely love to use my Flysky NB4 to play racing games on my PS4. Anyone know if that is possible?

yes it is compatible, I use it all the time on Virtual RC racing. The program is one of the most realistic there is, although it hasnt been updated in forever.

Theives suck man. But I am assuming since you have the bike back they got caught ? and hopefully p[prosecuted for the crime !!!

I agree nothing in the world beats a ride on a dirt bike. I race everyhting from motocross, to rally to hare scrambles through the yrs. My last ride was a 2008 KX450F, it was my baby. Then i got tboned about 15ft in the air. The bike that hit me, hit me right on my right foot and ankle with his number plate. This broke my foot and ankle, after 6 months in a cast learned i had to have surgery and have a 4 inch screw put in my foot and pins in my ankle. So know i can't even kick a bike without having a limp for 3 days afterwards. So i moved over to exploring the backwoods on an ATV( not as fun ) View attachment 217659

My brother had 2 kfx450r the year they came out. Badass quads. Nothing badder is the ktm 500 with a 30 day warranty.

Virtual RC Racing is still around? Way back in the day we had VRC races here on when we were RCNitroTalk. Had a lot of fun with it for a while.

Welcome back. Any more done on your pink slash? Was just looking at it again yesterday.

New guitar project. This is what it will turn out to, I hope.
I'm getting rid of the double humbucker pickups and installing
a dogear P90 pickup in the bridge cavity.
This will be a replica of The Gibson Charlie Starr Signature Les Paul Jr.
Charlie Starr is my all time favorite guitarist with Blackberry Smoke, my
favorite band.

Here is the start.

Glued the block into the neck pickup cavity.

 

[Tunedfrog]

The neck pickup cavity came out super nice but the hole for the switch between the volume pot and tone pot needs a little work.

What kind of paint are you going to use?

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm using Krylon and then the final coat will be StewMac ColorTone Guitar Laquer.

I ski.....usually a lot. But the last two years I haven't because of the maple sugaring. But I miss skiing like I did. Many, many years of over 120 days a season.

Definitely more days than I get in. I tend to hover around 40 days a season. But, then, I don't work on the mountain either! I'm guessing you did.

Here's the full costume from my avatar. Dressed up like Bootsy Collins, blasting funk from a resto-modded 70s boombox, while skiing on opening day at Loveland. Boombox has Bluetooth, a big lithium battery, modern two-way speakers, and a modern amp. Everything works and looks stock, unless you notice the speakers behind the grills.

Started as an instructor in the early 90's. Because I was the only skier in my family (it's not cheap and my parents said you need to pay for it and figure this one out) Then I Coached and did a desk job later. I left the industry in 18. All while carrying a decent, kinda normal career in fabrication.

I accomplished a (10 year old me) goal. Snow bought my house, started a family and gave me what I wanted. Fabrication was almost 2nd most of the time. But that's also what helped me get the money and freedom I needed to ski.

Music and working/building guitars. Installed new Fender pickups in this one.

She is finished other than the pickguard. It won't be in until next week.
Plugging her in as we speak.

Nice!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Thanks Xray, the single P90 pickup really makes my distortion pedals sing out.
It has that awesome country snap that I love. Sounds like a Telecaster with the tone knob rolled back.
