The Notes app does not refresh

M3 MacBook Air
Latest Beta release

Most things work pretty well, but the Notes app is useless on this machine now. I'm not complaining - it is Beta - but I am wondering if others have the same problem. The behavior is like this:

  • I can compose a Note, and it will show up on my other devices immediately. When reading Notes composed on other devices, there is a delay of 4 days. In other words, it is Aug 13 but I am seeing only activity up to August 9. Missing four days worth of edits and new Notes.
  • I use Notes a lot. I used Evernote when I had Windows PCs for work, but I work for myself now and am deep into the Apple ecosystem. iPhone Air, iPad Pro, Mac Mini for editing videos with FCP, MacBook Pro for Logic Pro, this MacBook Air for emails and stuff, and one M4 iMac that is quarantined with a novel virus that nobody seems to know anything about. But I digress.

I reported the problem with Notes not syncing on a MacOS Apple report-page thing. Questions:

  • Does anyone else see this problem?
  • Is it related to certain computer types, like laptop vs iMac or Mini?
  • Is there an Apple site to provide feedback on Golden Gate?

TIA

What do all the green houses represent?

The minimaps in the Hub show a bunch of green Monopoly houses, but I don't know what they represent.

Driving to the Store

https://www.reddit.com/r/RoadCraft/s/5gcM8Fxoa0

This post explains how to go outside the red walls and drive to the store.

I am not quite getting it. I got up close to the Eagle by using the Khan to spawn me outside the walls. Nice!

But - I don’t get the bridge reference. “…build a bridge and you can go to the store”. How can you place an end of a bridge beyond the red walls?

u/Designer-Dirt-14 can you provide more details? Which map were you using - the compass direction of the red walls etc.

Can I relocate media files that are external to Library?

To prevent huge libraries, I keep media files in place on an SSD. This works fine for my work flow.

FCP seems to use volume and path attributes when retrieving media files. Is there a way to tell FCP to use a different path to those media files? ...for a particular project?

For example: I copy the project media files to the new location on the SSD. Then I tell FCP to change where it looks for them: same Volume, different folder.

Is this possible? Can I do it without consolidating media files first?

Getting cash from Morgan Stanley account

I have company stock from when I was employed; and my account is with Morgan Stanley. There is a cash value in the account. I would like to transfer the cash to my bank account.

This does not involve selling stock; just withdrawing from the cash value.

What kind of income tax penalties would I incur?

disclaimer - I am something less than knowledgeable about investing. I don't put my own cash into the market. This account is strictly from working for the same company for 17 years and being granted stock options.

Who actually uses this grab crane?

I cannot find a use for this thing - EPEC TC-305 Grab Crane. I tried to use it to pick up wooden crates, which are useful to move sometimes - no go, it can't even pick them up.

What does anybody do with this thing? Is there a good use for it?

The Lighthouse in Sandswept

The lighthouse in Sandswept is just beyond the red borders. I managed to get close enough to get some images.

And in This Corner...

I thought the jig was up for these Route trucks. Somehow they managed to survive the fight and go on their merry way.

Modded maps?

Do I read correctly that with the 7.1 drop you can make new maps, like is possible in SnowRunner?
SR veterans might remember Remoh667. The guy made really excellent maps that added a lot of play to SnowRunner. Be cool if he made some for RC.

Need to move Library and external media files from one SSD to another

I have a a large library - 3 TB - and media stays external in the original locations. Both are on a 4TB SSD. Obviously I needed a larger SSD so I have an 8TB U34 BOLT that is ready to use.

How do I tell FCP to find its library and the media files in the new location?

Remember that the media files remain in place and are not included in the Library file.

I have just one library at this point. I will archive it when I am finished publishing the videos in it.

What's with the 5111B Dragline?

PS5 - I can't get the wrecking ball to fold. It worked the first time out in Summer Drought but now, after coming back to the map, it only stays loose. It snaps like it is folding but doesn't cinch up. What up?

Pretty funny actually.

Help installing a new font in Font Book

I use the Korataki font in Motion and Final Cut Pro. But I need to add it to system fonts so that I can use it in Keynote. If you open Font Book, you will see that Korataki is not there.

I downloaded Font_Tools_for_Xcode_26.1.dmg which is supposed to be a command line thing, but I can't run any of the ftx... commands after a reboot. I am running Sequoia 15.7 but the App Store said it would download a compatible version.

I am clueless about this process BTW.

Why do I need to add the font to Keynote? So I can make slides with the Korataki font. Sample from Motion is attached.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please vote for this idea on the Focus Forums. Three Quality of Life improvements

It takes a ridiculous amount of votes to get the devs to look at ideas posted in Focus Forums. I combined three requests: working headlights, NPCs (particularly the Hermit in Contamination), and improved driver animation.

The idea is here: https://community.focus-entmt.com/focus-entertainment/roadcraft/ideas/15568-quality-of-life-working-headlights-npcs-the-hermit-in-contamination-better-driver-animation

Please vote for it. Pretty please.

The description says:

>Those of us who play Snowrunner know that trucks have working headlights.  When raining, or in 1st person mode through forests, headlights would make a huge difference in Roadcraft.

>Non-player characters (NPCs) add depth.  Contamination practically screams for the Hermit to be an NPC.  He has his own shack, a cool Lynx variant, and owns various steampunk items.

>The driver in Snowrunner shifts gears, stares at the player in 3rd person mode, and in general has personality.  Please give a similar level of life to the RoadCraft driver.

What happened to the covered road?

Remember the steel mill in Sojourn, and the road you had to build that nobody actually used? It came in handy for Covered Parking. Or you could call it a Carriage Barn.

So what happened? Why did they remove the building that covered the road?
You had to use the Kronenwerk dozer and the DS 135 Bunker paver, cuz the newer ones were too wide and would hit the sides. Didn't bother me.

How to use animation and key frames on a basic title

I am trying to have a Basic Title fly in, using animation / key frames with the Transform tool. But every time I select the title and add key frames, the entire clip is affected - not just the title. Dylan Bates says the entire layer is seen, but in his video he can affect just the title. Do I have to separate the title from the clip somehow?
