Pretty average month. Got the Flying Stage 3 Update finally done with the new booster model. I love the new booster and will do more in this direction for a while instead of controls programming :D
There is one new builder: Welcome Ian!
Total bucks for May are 250.
While the Ko-Fi goal for the hard disks hasn't been met yet, it's close and I already bought the following disks as I need the SSD for the Unreal Engine upgrade. Here is what I got:
| 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC (MZ-V7S2T0BW) | € 161,82* |
| 6TB WD Blue WD60EZAZ 256MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s | € 142,22* |
My biggest single investment so far! I need it since the Unreal source alone is over 200 GB and then the StarbaseSim project is growing every day as well. When you do a few builds you add a lot more to it. With some assets and other often used stuff, the 1 TB SSD that I had until now filled up fast. So 2 TB should be good for a little longer and then I can upgrade again if necessary. Doesn't hurt to get a fresh SSD every couple of years anyway. The HDD is just for data storage and backups and should be good for a very long time.
That means I'm now migrating to UE5.4. I want to see, if I can use the new multiplayer physics and prediction stuff. There might be also other improvements and features that could come in handy. Of course, compiling everything without errors and trying out the new things will take a while and has some risk. With 5.3 there were some issues, so I didn't pull through with it. But they weren't that big, so I'm optimistic that it will work this time.
Thank you all very much for the support! :)
