In my area the wheel locks have come back a little. Not as ubiquitous as I remember in the 90s, but they are back here and there. The reflectors are quite common in Colorado though. See those constantly.
Looks pretty good, but with the slim pickings it seems like it would be best to mix this with the WW2 mods already available to really flesh out weapons/vehicles (and missions). At least for now, we'll see how much they add with time.
The Oklahoma high point is right near the border so you can see each state, the marker for the border is like a two minute drive from the parking lot for the highpoint trailhead.
The hardware isn't anymore. I bought a second for dirt cheap when they decided to end it. They still make updates though. The replacement is a cell phone app.
I was starting in similar years, some time in high school (03-07) I set up a dual boot with Ubuntu. I've dabbled on and off since. Usually put Ubuntu on old laptops to give em some more life, current work laptop is that way. It's never been my primary OS. But I've had either a dual boot or laptop running it most years since then.
