Agreed, but to some extent the use of better/different parts depends also on the builders' choices. The pic below shows one installation combining...
I think it's actually fair to say that Americans are delivering the cheap products that the American market is demanding. They just happen to...
But that's precisely my point: in this day and age, would anyone in his right mind rely on the compass for reaching Hawaii from Vancouver? Even...
I wouldn't worry about China. More than likely, they already hacked the system long ago, and are enjoying it more than anyone else... :D
An even simpler solution pops to my mind - why not get rid of the compass error calculation altogether? I'd be curious to hear if anyone has ever...
This other video shows also the moment when she began her last trip (of more than one and a half nautical mile!) to the seabed... :( [MEDIA]
With a premise like that, I feel obliged to remain an idiot myself, to avoid disappointing anybody!
Fair enough, but again, there can be plenty of technical reasons behind the behaviour you are describing, torque being just one of them. In fact,...
Thanks for clearing the buffer, whatever that meant. Good to know that the weird behaviour I described wasn't something I dreamed of, anyway. I...

I never liked any version of V10 MAN engines, because they are rougher than both the V12 (which is unquestionably the smoother of their modular...
I understand (or should I say remember...? :rolleyes:) the attraction of girls in bikini. What I don't get is the reason for bothering with the...
I don't think it has anything to see with my provider, because as I said it only slows down when I'm logged in. Maybe something specifically...
Now, THAT is something I didn't need to be reminded of! :D
My pleasure, but thanks to you Judy. Your valuable contributions are one of the things that brought me here back in the days, to start with. As...
Aha, I see. Frankly speaking, I'm not sure I'd even bother turning the engine keys on for any of those reasons. Aside from heading towards...
Actually you can see the helmsman pointing to the MOB in the slow motion bit, at 1:00. What I find even more outrageous than not having attempted...
'Care' is a big word. As I said in the OP, it's just something I noticed and thought to ask out of curiosity, nothing else. Don't look for myself...
