![]() If you want netflix, other apps, voice commands etc, and are ok with emulation, then consider something like the shield. ![]() If you simply want reliable iptv, get a mag. You really need to find out what YOUR needs are. STB Emulator works ok on the shield, but it still doesn't compare to that of a dedicated IPTV set top box. I personally use STB Emulator on my nvidia shield because it integrates nicely with my home automation system and allows me to use gamestreaming. The downside of the mag is that they are designed for IPTV only, and not other services such as netflix. Dedicated STB's generally work as well as any hardware a legit cable company would provide you with. Picture quality often is much better as well, despite using the same streams. The mag boxes by informir run the IPTV software natively on linux, and do so very very well. IPTV Set top boxes however, are often rock solid reliable. I wish SmartTV's never existed.the world would be a better place without them! Besides, any dumb tv becomes a smart tv as soon as you hook an HDMI device up to it (whether it be a gaming console, android box, etc). Smart TV's generally use very underpowered processors and as such, rarely does a TV provide an optimal viewing experience. All emulation software, whether it be for gaming or otherwise, will perform differently on different hardware (for obvious reasons).

Random building density can be turned up in the property browser : Try setting /sim/rendering/building-density to 1-10. It randomly creates buildings in the new OSM2City format. Flightgear has an alternative random buildings feature.This can be done by using smaller values for LoD:Rough in View menu > Adjust LOD ranges If FPS is low try reducing the distance objects are loaded.Flying away from city centers of large cities means most buildings in view are smaller buildings in the new format, and will be fast.

Objects in old format: Roads, Pylons, random scenery objects, and large buildings. ![]() OSM2City has objects in new and old formats.There is no need to lower graphics settings, or buy faster GPUs, if FPS is low in areas with a lot of OSM2City buildings and objects. The limiting factor is the CPU, not the GPU in most systems.It's best to wait as new hardware is also steadily getting faster, and hardware prices will also be expected to drop after the situation with the global pandemic eases.). This is because FlightGear's rendering and bottlenecks, will be changing so much in future - with WS 3.0, upcoming rendering features the compositor enables, future OSM2City, move to a higher version of OpenGL, and so on. Please don't buy new hardware yet based on early rollouts (Before buying new hardware, it's a good idea to wait until /after/ the future LTS that contains WS3.0. Performance will improve drastically in future rollouts.To force a 2nd scenery load go to in-sim GUI menu > Debug menu > Reload Scenery. You will see terrain and scenery as normal without OSM2City buildings. A limitation of the experimental rollout in 2020.3.7 is that FlightGear will not load OSM2City objects as part of the first scenery load on the first visit to an airport.If you have a custom scenery with subfolders for Terrain as well as object folders like buildings, roads or pylons, you can delete these object folders and FlightGear will then load the updated TerraSync object folders. If FlightGear sees a folder of a certain type in custom scenery at a specific location it will use that, and it will not load TerraSync objects of that type from the folder for that location. the Addons > Scenery folders section in the qt-launcher, or a command-line folders list. Remember to remove any custom scenery folders you have that contains object folders for buildings, roads, pylons to see the updated OSM2City objects on TerraSync!

![]() ![]() You basically want to check to make sure the belt doesn’t have any tears, bumps, or small holes. Modern serpentine belts don’t require a lot of maintenance but they should be checked periodically since they don’t last forever. If it’s below or near the minimum, you just need to add more fluid to the reservoir. To check it, just unscrew the cap and check the fluid level on the dipstick, which should be labeled in some way indicating a minimum and maximum fill line. Your power steering fluid reservoir should be clearly labeled. Either one will impact the flow of electricity and the operation of your vehicle. You’re looking for signs of corrosion or loose connections. Sometimes, like ours, they are covered with a protective rubber casing that you have to pull back. While you’re under the hood checking the transmission fluid, go ahead and check the cables connected to the battery. The process to check is the same: pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert, pull out and check. ![]() In fact, if you don’t know much about cars, it’s easy to confuse the two dipsticks. Check Automatic Transmission FluidĬhecking the automatic transmission fluid is similar to checking your engine oil. What good is putting nice, clean oil in your vehicle if it has to travel through a dirty filter clogged with old oil? Each time you change your oil (or have it changed), you should also replace the oil filter. And as long as you’re checking and filling all of your own fluids, a routine oil change is usually inexpensive. You can do this yourself, but if you have a car that sits low to the ground it can be a pain. Every 3 Months (3-5k Miles) Change Engine Oil It only takes a minute to lift up your wipers and inspect the blades for damage or debris that will interfere with their windshield wiping efficiency. To demonstrate, I enlisted the help of my 16-year old daughter who gets her license in a few weeks. It only takes a few minutes to check everything and once you know where to look and what to look for, it’s so easy that even a novice teen driver can do it without assistance. MonthlyĮach month you should check fluid levels and general condition of the car, like if you need to remove water spots from car. Important Note: You should always consult your vehicle’s owner manual for maintenance guidelines specific to your vehicle. The recommendations within this post are GENERAL guidelines. He made sure I, and our teen drivers, know how to perform all of the routine maintenance to: 1) save money and 2) help us understand how our vehicles function. He has always been good about making sure we do routine checks and maintenance on all of our vehicles to ward off expensive repairs or unexpected car trouble down the road (Haha! Double entendre. I wish I could take credit for the condition of our vehicles, but the truth is my family has my husband to thank. ![]() Even the color makes a difference, black dissipates the internal heat best. ![]() The motor AND drive should be powder coated Aluminum as not to corrode and be TEFC with a minimum of an IP56 design. They are plastic, they have membrane keypads that will fail.Ī well built VFD is IP66 (wash down duty, air tight so no outside air mixes with inside air) and is rated for 60 degrees C. But then again, the VFDs they are accustomed to and I make a living repairing, are designed to fail. This is a horrible design since plastic does NOT dissipate heat well.Ĥ) The VFD board is not coated, if moisture builds up in the pump (easy due to plastic construction) the board will short.ĥ) The motor itself is very cheaply made, not a NEMA frame, not commercial quality, light bearings and light on iron.įinally, a well designed VFD as described in my article soon to be published in Pump and Systems magazine should last 15-25 years. When it fails, the pump fails and it's not serviceable.Ģ) The Scalia uses a bladder tank, its internal and if it fails, so will the pump and it's not serviceable.ģ) The VFD is covered in plastic. Its embedded in the pump and it gets plugged up easily with Teflon tape, minerals or any contaminants in the water. Due to this inspection we came up with some clues to their problems and this helped me build better alternatives.ġ) The Scalia uses a magnetic pin wheel to detect flow. Of course they knew before hand that the pumps would never be usable again. Customers have given me their units to tear into and inspect. In a meeting last week with a long time Grundfos marketing manager, now working for a competitor, I shared my views with why the Grundfos Scalia2 is so problematic. They put quality and PR ahead of profit.Īs a VFD consultant with over 40 years experience I get a bit disappointed when I hear about people that purchase a VFD controlled pump that is not built to last and more disappointed when I hear people say this is the norm. Engineering companies have a passion for what they build, constantly improve and always striving towards perfection. There are engineering companies and there are "sales companies". I was wondering how your new pump was working? Although it is true that most pump companies are reducing costs and building in obsolescence, not all companies follow this trend. I've reached out to Grundfos because I read about a recall but couldn't find the issue the recall was addressing. It seems most people think the thumping is normal. I'm not sure if its a problem with the sensors or the design. ![]() I think instead of starting gently the motor starts hard and the intake pressure drops to zero for a split second causing hammer in the intake line. When it thumps it hammers the intake line the hardest. I attempted to run the pump with no internal check valves and it still thumped. I no longer believe the thump is from a check valve. I realized the intake pressure going up to 40 from 30 when the pump stopped was the pressure of the moving water get trapped on the house side of the system check valve. This time I could hear the inlet check valve close with a very small click. I removed the outlet check valve and reinstalled the inlet check valve. Initially the pump stopped thumping and ran better but it did not last, it began thumping again within the hour. My biggest question is this something that a functioning inlet check will fix or is it likely a design flaw and should I just get a refund and get a different pump. I'm waiting on the RMA to go through to refund/replace, the pump. The intake pressure jumps around quite a bit during this and I think it confuses the pumps controller and it runs erratically trying to maintain a constant output. When there is a call for water the pump starts and the check valve slams open causing the thump. It appears that inlet check valve is allowing enough flow backward to pressurize the line between the pump and the check valve where it comes into the house (about 15' of 3/4 cpvc). I finally got around to trouble shooting it today. ![]() When I set the pump any higher than 40psi it thumps when it kicks on and then runs erratically, changing rpms sometimes stopping for a split second, which results in another thump when it starts up. I bought and installed a Scala2 pump to help with my low pressure due to elevation.

Is this a just plain stupid idea for a 56 year old to try to paint a house? Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? What did you learn? So when I start calling companies what questions should I ask? I know nothing about scaffolding so I would want some one that knows what their doing to erect it. would be a summer project and I could use the exercise. I would want to get one complete with back railing and maybe stairs I could go and paint a little each morning. Anyway if I could walk around and work from a scaffold safely. So I was thinking if I had this house covered in scaffolding, lets say have half covered and when done have it moved to the other half. the problem is a that all takes a 40' ladder and can't and won't do that. most of it is not even that high up however the third floor and the eves that stick out some 2'. And when you really look at the house there is really not that much wood to paint. When I look at what I have done myself in the areas I can reach it has held up good. In looking over the years what neighbors have had done at costs sometimes over 20K it doesn't hold up that well. I have had estimates and they range in the 10K + for a job that is not that great.
