Grid Drive on the 2023-04-29 - Zen Mode activated

Months-end RCC/Roadward drive ... with partial "Retro"-parts.

Along the drive, we also came along the "Zany Zen Railway".
This just having a birthday ... and before the drive, I was up to suggest "We should visit that area again".

Sadly the awesome looking area was heavy laggy for me, so there are less (and also less good) pictures.


The NavHUD is still to pick from alternate locations, as the regular "Headquarter 1" get a renovation.

"Spritle Racer" is in the playlist.

The others? 
Average you find also videos from "Rose Black" (Japanese) and "Spritle Racer" (Angie Xenga) ...
... sometimes "Gamerwife" (Darkana Mysterious) and the "SLAviationNetwork" (which is "Luke Flywalker", who provides also the great tunes for the driving).
More ... if I accidentally find them on YouTube or they give me a hint.

Grid Drive on the 2023-04-22

So far I was understand it right, originally there was no drive planed for this weekend ... but "on the fly" some drivers was create a drive.

This drive wasn't that long ... 4 Legs and in the group we took (include some obstacles by SL) around "just" 2 hours. Anyway that was a good duration.

The drive was have it all:
2 road parts, 1 train, 1 water ...
... and the exploration of the new "Bellisseria (Welcome) Hub", which is a showcase and a kind of "orientation island. Very nice made, much complete, so far I would say.

Additional there was a Bonus-Leg offered.
In case, some people was later (on Monday) not able to enter it: There was a notice, it been close for public access for around 8 hours on monday.

The NavHUD is at the moment still to pick for 2 possible alternate locations, as the regular "Headquarter 1" get a massive renovation.

Grid Drive on the 2023-04-15 ... Spy Works

This was an awesome planed, story driven Grid Drive ... a "mission" drive, how I call them.
Ok, this was have "really" a mission in it. A kind of role-play.

Often the "Roleplays" by the Nav-HUD (it is an extremely powerful tool!) are a bit annoying or look stupid. But this time, it was nice shot ... and no play with the stupid "invisible avatar virus".

Anyway, I would say: This drive was ... perfect.
A great thought story ... perfect route ... cool places ... fine working additional tools ... and much fun!

Grid Drives ... "historical" videos

Since I am participating in the "Grid Drives" ... at least since I am creating videos about the drives ... I listing them also in "a" playlist on YouTube.

Along the time, I changed (or in my point of view "enhanced") the organization of the playlist(s).

  • First I was put them all together.
    That was working, as there wasn't come up that much other videos at that time.

  • Then I added a separated playlist only for my videos.
    My videos (same as them from Luke Flywalker) are edited and "cut short, to an easy to consume length". On the other side was mostly streamers adding contend, where the videos are usually extremely long.
    For an easy watching and searching ... and also to show people "me" and not confuse them with others, I was create that "additional" list, which wasn't replace the first one.
    (Yes, a YouTube-video can be part of more playlists, than just one ... even if them are in the same channel.)

  • As the first playlist from "mid 2021" was become very long and hard to manage, I was finalize it end 2022 ...
    ... and added a new one, starting "2023".
    As I am not sure, how many videos will come, I let the end open.

  • While the (weekly) check for "other Grid Drive Videos" ...
    ... not all are by the well known creators, which I for sure "monitor" ...
    ... I was also sometimes seeing (much) older ones.
    There I now finally created an other list and put also all the "old" videos together there.

So ...

(only) my videos:   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Vzk1yd9q_PiuWF9WxkGkNAxI1paLhfw 
For the statistics:
There are used over 8,500 pictures with more than 35 GByte file-space ...
... and uncounted videos (really, I have no overview about the used clips, but in total the video-footage include used pictures consumes 1,676 GBytes of storage).
The total uploaded files to YouTube have around 312 GByte ... in actual 108 "Grid Drive" or similar Videos

Videos "mid 2021 - end 2022":   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Vzk1yd9q_OkYJ4xbxhlfieYDsWyScE_ 
The list starts with a kind of tutorial or "advertising" by a Vlogger from 2021-06-21, where something is told about the Drivers ... and the Grid Drives.
At the end of 2022 it was become awesome 341 Videos in 1.5 years!
Special if I needed to add later a video, the management isn't "that" easy at such large lists.

The actual playlist is "2023 - ?":   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Vzk1yd9q_Mf7h6sGCwJjDBNVYhhjjDc 
It have at today already 79 videos ... in around 4 months. At the same rate, it would be around 300 videos at the end of the year, so maybe it will then be time to start next year a new list ... so that is the reason for the "?".

And now also the playlist "2017 - 2020":   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Vzk1yd9q_OQ6r5g3KY8BBp_n9l_u7-G 
The first video I found was from 2017-01-13 (ok, update ... the creator was write 2017, but it is the drive at 2018) ... The first video was from 2017-11-04 by Christi.
I am not sure, if that was the "start" of the Grid Drives ... or when it was.
In 2020 it was become much less videos ... and to be precious, the two most top videos in the playlist are from 2021-03-07 and 2021-04-03, but I don't see it as that important, to add them in the "new videos" list.
In between since 2020 and into 2021 are "massive gaps" - I couldn't find videos from that times on YouTube.
Anyway there from the past are around 175 videos available.

So ... what more to say than "Enjoy"?

Grid Drive on the 2023-04-01 ... "April Fool"-Day

A scenic drive, which became about some chatting a bit longer ...
... with some April Fools "in the Sky" ... and a funny reward - it fights each diet.

The NavHUD is at the moment to pick for 2 possible alternate locations, as the regular "Headquarter 1" get a massive renovation. I was sneaking from the distance and it looks very interesting with tunnels and so!
