:O

pretty excited. I bought Cities XL 2012 to scratch the itch, and it is a good game.............. wonderfully complex, but just doesnt work the way you want it to. the overall management is kinda broken so it gets crazy difficult juggling everything even when you have unlimited money.

yeah ive been reading the responses on metacritic. the peoples are not happy. It has stopped me from buying it anyway. I'm sure someone has figured out how to priate the game anyway. and hopefully someone will make a mod to stop the need for online connection and online saving (the dumbest thing ive ever heard for a non-MMORPG)

i digged a bit deeper and the whingy kind of players (theres always a select few with every game, and always a platoon with AAA titles) have come up with some good points:

Firstly, the traffic jam chaos, lack of business for certain jobs/shops and buses/schools issues.

Apparently the other sim cities didnt have this issue. and that an easy fix would have been to reserve houses/jobs for people as they leave the house. to prevent people just following them and going to a full house/job.

Secondly, some people are claiming the population of your game (not in sandbox) is limited to 300k. At 280k or so, everyone runs into a disaster. Lizard, zombie apocalypse, meteor shower etc. When you rebuild and recover, happens again. rinse repeat. a bit disappointing.

Got a mate with a city of 320k still going. I call BS on that disaster.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
