TBF that one's slightly unrealistic, since it's a brand new undamaged 22.5 hooked up directly to a compressor with no regulator or governor of any sort, and aired up to failure (which happens at 3-400 PSI IIRC).

How do you even get an en dash? I'm pretty sure it's not even got an HID keyboard code to send it; I made a custom layout for a programmable keyboard controller for the IBM 6112884 in the flashlight photo in Immortan 14"'s thread and I don't recall being able to assign keys to different types of dash; do you have to use AllChars or AutoHotkey or something?

On windows? Hold alt, type 0150 on the numpad (0151 for an em-dash). On a Mac it's alt-dash, or alt-shift-dash for an em-dash.

Alternatively, google "en-dash" and copy one from the wikipedia article.

On a lot of the programs I've used auto-correct two hyphens together into an en-dash.

From wikipedia:

quote:

pre:

    For Macs: ⌥ Opt+- (en dash) or ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+- (em dash)
    For Linux:
        use AltGr- (en dash, '�'), or AltGr⇧ Shift- (em dash, '�')
        if you have Compose key: Compose--. (en dash) or Compose--- (em dash)
    For Windows:
        Alt+0150 (en dash) or Alt+0151 (em dash), using the number pad 
        In Microsoft Office applications: Ctrl+- (en dash) and Ctrl+Alt+- (em dash), using the minus key from the key pad.
    For iPhones and iPads or Android devices: hold the - on screen keyboard until a pop up appears with choices including the en dash and em dash. 
If using an external keyboard use the Mac advice above.

Alternatively, copy and paste an en dash (�) or an em dash (�) as required.
    Or, use the CharInsert edit tool.

In a post window on SA, using a normal keyboard and Windows, I can type leftAlt + 0150 and get an en dash.

So, I guess we're on the last great hurdle here, figuring out how to route the throttle cable.

Right now the biggest problem is figuring out how setup the pedal. We have the cable from the van, but the the way the truck pedal works is different, plus it appears that someone broke the end of it off too. That, and that it doesn't really bolt to anything, so even with the cable, it'd still be kinda floating.

So anyone have any suggestions?

And no, wise rear end, hand throttle isn't something we're gonna do.

Can you use the pedal from the van? No idea if that would work, just throwing it out.
Other than that, maybe mounting some kind of rod for it to pivot on? Heck, toss a dowel rod under it. (again, just spitballing)
