There's some really cool stuff there!

Jimbuna · 04-13-15, 05:31 AM

I'll go for the detectable tiles because I'm always misplacing keys etc.

oh ya traffic lights with count down timers. I can just imagine what people will be thinking as they wait for the light to change. Seeing themselves as the next Warren Johnson or Shirly Muldowney.

Should make for more interesting accident reports...
IE: A yellow light accelerator was struck by a green light anticipator.

I like how the Germans will light the yellow traffic light just before the red turns green.

One of these in my home will make for some veeery interesting accident reports indeed!

That was fun, thanks

Expanding this thread into other stuff I'd want....

Racer / Cruiser Foiling Catamaran. Translation: It's a sailboat that does 40ish kts, under sail only, but has multiple berths for people and is a comfortable island hopper.

Here's a nice video of her early sea trials:

An amazing watch for the sailor in any of us.

Sailor Steve · 04-14-15, 09:52 AM

Cool! It's amazing what modern computer-driven technology has done to revolutionize the way things work. 40 knots is pretty much the upper limit for any kind of a ship hull, but boat design exceeds that by planing on top of the water rather than driving through it. Hydrofoils made that goal much more accessible, but this thing goes beyond even that. Wonderful.

Wolferz · 04-14-15, 04:15 PM

I like that boat!

Cool how the two wine glasses were sitting there motionless because they were riding above the waves instead of in them.

Gargamel · 04-15-15, 07:38 AM

I can guarantee you they were at anchor or at least not under sail when that shot was taken! All the videos I've seen of foiling cats, they jump and buck like crazy while flying

Wow, you guys have accidents three feet away from the toilet? I guess sometimes I forget how old some of Subsims members are.
