    The 42 in Squadron 42 stands for the year 2042. Compared to Star Citizen, it’s truly imminent to release.

        Now that is a good idea for a gimmick mod.

        Also… there are actually are mods that figured out how to make player flyable AVs. Its jank, but it ain’t nothin.

            Sorry, my childhood train autism demands I correct you.

            Thomas.

            Now then… fortunately, there does not appear to be a Thomas replacement/model swap for the AV. There is one mod that replaces the Caliburn car with Thomas, and another that replaces the Ural truck, but, for now, the skies are safe.

            Also I don’t think those mod do the whole sound track thing.

                … Was his name localized to Tomas for Spanish speaking regions… or are you doing a Mandella Effect bit?

                Um, no, I’ve not been to that museum, does sound awesome, but my (nearly 100% certainly also autistic) grandpa had an entire, fully functional landscape / diorama / train track kit, that he spent like two decades slowly building… it was the size of roughly two queen mattresses, end to end.

                I also did go to some train museums / exhibits up in the PNW, the cascades, they’ve kept an old school steam engine working on I think an old rail line for logging, up around snoqualmie, it’ll choo-choo you around a nice little relaxing loop.

                Like, I am entirely unironically the stereotype of ‘loved trains waaaay too much as a kid = autism’, and it literally runs in family, hahah!

                  I’m pretending he had nonunion latino equivalent like Flanders just roll with it

                  Next time I’m up near snoqualmie (got some family in Puyallup no don’t try to say it) I might take that train. It sounds fun. We’ve got the Napa Wine Train here but that’s more of a drinking + trains day.

                    Well lets pretend that after totally tripping over the joke, I ended up falling into a corner table but bracing myself as if I was just posting up on it and totally meant to land exactly like that.

                    I have heard about the Napa Wine Train, the one time I was nearby it, we were planning on going on it, but our schedule for the vacation got too messed up for it.

                    Maybe one day I’ll find my way back toward it.

                    Oh and its Pyuu Al Up. Not Poo Yall Up. Pyuu Al Up.
