Planetary approach and station landing - Elite Dangerous
zhlédnutí 2,9KPřed 7 lety
Proper planetary approach and mehhhh station landing in my Asp X. Originally fit for long range exploration, I've added dumbfires for cut the power, and equipped mines for interdictions(just for kicks). Been grinding empire rep near Aditi in it. The thing fly's like a shoe, but it can jump 56ly unladen.

RX8 Ownership Video
zhlédnutí 194KPřed 12 lety
This is the 'Product Update' dvd that was sent to me when I owned my RX-8. It has some useful info about how to handle a flooded motor, and just preventative maintenance. I do not own the license to this media, and it is property of Mazda North American Operations

Quick movie of my Troll Hunter taming a ZG Bat very quickly with the help of a rogue. Once you see how it's done you'll have no problem doing it yourself.
Do not use 5W20 it's too thin, us 10W30 and always premix the appropriate amount of 2 Stroke oil when filling up gas
5W20 is too thin, most Rotary techs and mechanics recommend using 10W30 at the minimum to reduce wear to the seals
Reduced emissions XD made my day
Wonderfull rock I love thi goby
What type of crab was at the bottom? (not the hermits)

Reduced exhaust emissions??? What are you fucking high?
You can use full synthetic 5W 20 too
So much negative comments, like in Russia. Rotary engine is awesome, but it requires better materials for it parts, and more precession assembling. Also it requires more experienced owners, owners of rotary cars should know more about cars then typical drivers of family van. And it’s too late for rotary engine, because combustion engines era is almost gone.
You got that right!
"Reduced exhaust emissions" who the fk are kidding!
How do you know that this base is not on the other side of the planet? You know sooner or later, but it' time consuming to find out real close that you have to go all the way round to that base.
You don't know until you get within range, which is a pain, but when you start approaches like this it begins to not matter, as you can just keep your orbit high until you have direct line of sight of the base. Fly safe CMDR! o7
Actually, I found out. It get tripled/dotted when on backside. But I see know when watching again your landing. You approach and line up real fare out before diving in. I did just dive straight in, also when it was dotted, all the way down. Flying around the hole planet, excused by my beginner approach. Thank you for video and answer, really helped watching again :)
Yeah it'll become dashed if it's behind the planet, but even still, the dash sometimes shows up pretty late. That's why I try to keep the high orbit until the dash appears. Happy to help!!
"reduced emissions", i died!
*Today is the anniversary of the death of the Wankel engine, 5 years ago today June 22, 2012 at **4:30**pm the RX engine assembly plant at Mazda Ujina #2 shut down and shortly there after was dismantled to make way for a brand new engine assembly facility at Ujina #2 specifically designed to manufacture Mazda's successful new signature Skyactiv-G ® line of reciprocating Otto type engines*
Summertime fun.....
@ 4:16.... thats a weird way to get out of your car man.
Nice video even if you wasn't the first at least your letting people know about it much appreciated
a sulpher based plant on a planet with no atmosphere or other life. what has science done?!?
Damn son, I really need to get my ships engineered stat.
Some of the trees contain synthesis materials, such as iron, manganese and ruthenium. You'll know if the material is there due to unusual growths near or on the branches. The whole area emits and unusual ambient sound.
Dafuq?!!
Just a heads up: I wasn't the first to discover these, AFAIK it was redditor /u/Nstor1
Aww pretty. ....nom nom...👽
This game keeps surprising me! CMDR ELF N'SAFETY
God, this game keeps getting awesomer every day.
they added a tree looking thing. When the game is this boring even a tree is all it takes to give it some life.
Now thats a find, 07 commander
was that a fixed thing like the ruins?
Alien brain trees?
ive been doing it wrong this whole time! I always do this long gradual descent and end up like 100km from the base no matter how much i try and get it right. This is gonna save me so much time! Thank you!
Nice
Life/Time saver, thank you.
the oil level warning light illuminates when your apex seals are gone.
Reduced emissions? John Cena: Are you sure about that?
Reduced compared to the RX7 I think they meant.
Bought my 2004 rx8 Gt With 28k miles on it last year. Love the car.
Hello, I am considering buying a 2004 rx8 with 15 k km on the new engine, is a hassle worth it?
The*
I want one, but the flooding scares me.
Flooding is the least of your worries but they can still be reliable if you know what you're doing. Read - www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/
Reduced emissions :) lol. Reduced from RX-7 maybe :)
Was thinking the same.
I always wanted an RX-8, but I try to find the 2nd gen models (2009-2012) because it seems like they have less problems than the 1st gen models. Every forum, video, or info you find about the RX-8, it always talks about its problems and those issues always ties to the 1st generation cars. Maybe the 2nd generation cars don't have as much issues as the older ones, there's rarely any videos or info on the 2nd gen's problems. If there isn't any problems, the 2nd gen RX-8s would be better than the older RX-8s since Mazda made changes to the Renesis and the car after 2008
i love the rx-8, but this video is a disaster. Some of the money you paid for your rotary godess was used to pay that pile of marketing crap. Nobody who would consider owning this car gives shit about image or standing out. this car is about having fun and honing skills. Fuck that terrible video in terrible quality. Well to see the positive: Mazda obviously preferes giving funds to suspension dudes rather than pr-asswipes.
Literally every car on the road, especially 90s/early 2000s ones have cheesy VHS videos like this. Trust me, they don't cost that much to make.
Gehtdi anschasau The original video would have looked just fine. It's just that it hasn't been converted properly to suit this environment, and what we are seeing is called "interlacing artifacts".
it's sad to think that there are people that actually flood their rx8's :( you really shouldn't be able to flood your engine if you actually care about your car and know what a rotary engine needs
Aidan Higby I'm buying one soon- can you message me and help me with how to take care of it
unfortunately I don't have mine anymore, the main thing to know is it isn't a car you can turn on to move around and turn straight off it pretty much needs to be up to operating temp before you bother trying to turn it off and make sure you keep your eye on the oil and keep it topped up and change it roughly every 5000kms. as long as it is up to operating tempo before you switch it off you shouldn't be able to flood it, if you have to move it in a driveway or something take it for a short drive before you turn it off. also when you first turn it on to drive when the engine is cold let it warm up for at least a minute then baby the car for the first 5 minutes of the drive or so until it is up to operating temp (keep it below 4k rpm and preferably stay around 3k rpm) then when it is at operating temp you can drive like a madman.
Bought a 2007,rx8 2 weeks ago,I got it cheap,engine is good,starts first time every time hot or cold,it needed a dipstick,parking light bulb,passenger door light,coolant level was low,I cleaned the air filter,next I have to fix the central locking and some chip marks on the rims and the rear plate bulbs ,everything else works.The tire pressure was low on two tires,I think the last owner just added oil when it needed it.
How does it run now ?
Celtic Tiger is it still running?
Yes it runs like clockwork, everything working, great buy.
Celtic Tiger I'm very hyped I'm going to pick one up after I get my tax return back
omg....my rx-8 was flooded just now and doing the simple method shown on the vid actually fixed my car lol. i cant believe it's not butter!
Very handy, thank you! Just picked an RX8 up, it's great to hear this type of information from an official source.
People moan and groan about the Renesis engine, but really, at the pricepoint of a used RX8 (they're stupid cheap) you can afford to spend some $$. Think of it another way - if you bought a typical BMW or something you're going to lose more money in depreciation every year than you'll spend on your RX8. Not to mention that if you get a higher-end used car the repairs are astronomically expensive. The new Porsche GT3 RS has a titanium exhaust, imagine how much that's going to cost when it goes! Probably as much as a new Renesis...
Lol how does an exhaust go exactly? And my 2003 bmw is dirt cheap to maintain along with the parts
Finally got mine a couple days ago. I am familiar with all of it's flaws, but they all fade ones you take it for a drive. Brilliant experience. Best decision ever. Every car enthusiast should take one for a drive.
+Detc0re Had mine over 4 years now. I still love it and there's nothing like the rotary engine - literally! Plus they're dirt cheap to buy as used cars.
+Mark Ferris The RX8 will be my next car, solid aftermarket (better than Honda), great price point and unique engine.
+Detc0re Im thinking about making an RX-8 my next vehicle purchase. I am very much looking for a "drivers car", would you make the assumption that for this price point i couldn't do any better? I am not worried about the prolonged time i must spend with my vehicle, seeing as i prefer being behind the wheel than anywhere else.
+RyMann88 Right on! I had mine out autocrossing a couple of weeks ago, it's such a precise vehicle and very stylish too - I hope the next generation of enthusiasts will pick up the torch and keep this car on the road for years to come. It may be that the RX8 is the last rotary car we have, and it would mean that eventually they will be collectible. I'm starting to think that might happen, since Mazda is backing off plans for a successor. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's my take on it! Good luck!
+Detc0re ps you guys, don't forget to get a proper compression test before you buy one. If it's low (lower than 6.9) it will need a rebuild or replacement soon. A Renesis should produce around 8psi if it's healthy. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a car with a tired engine, but factor that into your offer. Happy Hunting!
Long term effects are unknown with synthetic oils........does that mean it never lasted that long to test it
+ValenNitto It just means they never did a test because any hard results would take too long to find.
I would like more info for troubleshooting as to why my 2005 rx8 stalls while the a/c is on. It over loads the engine and the rpms rise and fall till it stalls! I changed the plugs, cleaned maf sensor and cleaned throttle body. What else do I need to do?
If the fact about rotary engine did not last long, compare how many rx8 or rx7 owner rebuild their engine to non rebuild owner?real rotary owner should know this compare to riser. Nothing last forever.different only how long and how good you taking care of the engine even for the piston
Is there any sport car in the world are fuel saver car? Provide 1 please or don't compare with normal daily basis car which is design to save money :p
Lotus Elise
rotary_inside 16' VW Golf R (AWD, 290+ HP, 26 AVG MPG) or a Toyota Corolla S (Some might call it a sports car.....^0^ )
nismotech Neither of those are sports cars, just because some people consider them 'sporty' doesn't make them a sports car.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette. it has cylinder deactivation and gets good mileage on the highway.
Everyone stayed quiet about the lotus Elise
superior technology lol. one of the worst engines ever made
Wrong petrol and the engine packs up? Wait 5 minutes for car to warm up....or engine packs up......wait 5 minutes for engine to cool down....or engine will pack up.......looks like rx8 owners spend most of there time (waiting) 😳
Im Thinking of buying an Automatic Rx8, but seeing people spend tons of money on it is kind of changing my mind.. Is there.anything i should know of these cars if i buy one??
gabrielgee5 You'll hate yourself for loving it so much.
gabrielgee5 1- the automatic is actually a lot more fun than most will have you believe despite the 30hp missing from the manuel version. I recommend learning stick, but if you don't want to the RX8 auto is a far better choice than most cars its age. 2- If you dump a little bit of 2-stroke oil into the gas tank when you fill it up you essentially make the gasoline a secondary lubricant, circumventing many common issues with the apex seals. 3- It is a sports car. Treat it like one. It can be used every day, but it isnt a mustang or a miata, you need to be attentive to your car's needs. 4- being a total car nerd is a requirement. You say you aren't one now? Give it time, my friend. 5- Resist the urge to give it hugs, no matter how much you end up loving it. A word on rebuilds: As far as when the dreaded day of engine rebuild comes, have a plan. At independent shops rebuilds can cost about $2000-$3000 and if you have some money set aside for it it is a nearly painless process. Even then it isnt that expensive, the car's reputation damaged its resale to the point where it costs about as much as a 350z after you factor in the rebuild, and since your insurance will see it as a "1.3L sedan", you will come out ahead with the RX-8 making it quite the economical choice... I know "economical" and "RX-8" in the same sentence, but it is true. Anyway, happy car shopping, I do recommend this car to anyone willing to love it as much as it deserves.
