Grid Drive on the 2023-05-27

End of the month ... so it's a "Retro Grid-Drive".
Last time we done it last time on the 2022-11-19.

It was GTFO-Powered at first ...
... and gone in a 2nd part onto Bellisseria, where it was planed to drive to a new attraction.

At the begin there the most stuff working "ok", just some little hickups while Sim-crossings after a while. On Bellisseria, further at the drive, it was gone then wrong: Hung at Sim-crossings ... problems with steering the car until I was "one time too much" landing in the bushes ... then a disconnect ...
... after a relog, I was make it 2 Sim-crossings until the next complete crash. This was then also "the final straw" by my mood - I "hacked" into the NavHUD, searching for a waypoint near the finish ... started again there ... and done.

... 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 2023-05-12 to 2023-05-14 - Spring Camping Weekend

Well ... to be open, I not participate in the camping-weekends directly.
To say it directly: I haven't the time ... and anytime I was at the camp-areas, I was lagging to death.

The weekends itself seems to be much fun, this one also with movie-nights and so on.

Have a more event-orientated look at:
 https://www.driversofsecondlife.info/2023/05/2023-spring-camping-was-sucess.html at the official Drivers-Blog

and: https://www.flickr.com/photos/192543780@N06/albums/72177720308268170 with pictures by POMF.

The weekend was start on Friday with a "drive to" the camping area.
There I wasn't have time about things in RL
For the "Saturday"-drive "while the camping weekend", we got the NavHUD trough the group-notices. The inventory-giver in the HQs was give out the Friday-drive.
I done the Saturday-drive as "Midnight-Drive" ... so, technically, on Sunday. After that drive I was doing then, later on Sunday, the "Friday- / Drive in"-Drive. Sadly the technical problems was getting more and more on that weekend, which is not a fault by the drive or drive-planing itself.

Anyway I try to give you a nice and complete showcase here.

"ATG Entertainment Weekly" was also have an entry, but that wasn't really specific ... and them still have the "Grid Drives" bound with the "Canary Project", which is wrong (so far I seen it).

AI on the "Grid Drive on the 2023-05-06" ... video?

I tested for fun an "AI video summary" on the last video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESF5Xhw48RI

The transcript was mainly fail (as there are practically no spoken words) ... and the summary:

"This transcript is a short video with no spoken words. It consists mainly of music and occasional sound effects. There are brief applause sounds in a few places. The video ends with a phone message stating that the number dialed is foreign."

Somehow very precious, but also not really helpful, ... 
... but the video is also an unfair test, as the AI would need to interpret video and not only a text or spoken words.

A bit more scary is the Option for the "Twitter Thread":

Thread: 
1/ The transcript is a short video with no spoken words, featuring music and occasional sound effects.
2/ There are brief applause sounds in a few places, creating a celebratory atmosphere.
3/ The video ends with a phone message stating that the number dialed is foreign, leaving the viewer with a sense of intrigue and mystery. 
4/ Through the power of music and sound effects, this video manages to convey a range of emotions and tell a story without any spoken words. 
5/ A unique and creative approach to visual storytelling that shows the power of nonverbal communication. #shortfilm #musicalstorytelling 
6/ What do you think the message at the end means? Share your interpretation in the comments below! #mystery #intrigue #phonecall.

Zada's Visits ... the "Outlander" modding-contest at "Vision Motors"

Vision Motors was held a contest for modding one of their products ... the "Outlander", an pretty large, all terrain (and water) vehicle.

I got an invite, too ... as I have such one ... but I am worse in modding.

Take a look at the various mods at the showcase.
(As it is ... opposite to normal "Grid Drive" videos ... about one shop, one product and the contest winners and participants get a price, I was for safety declare as "contains adverts" to comply with the YT rules.)
