It's that one where you use the mouse to navigate through a maze btw

That's just stupid, parents like that should be shot. That's not even funny.

Quote from TiJay :

Redline Racing usually run AS National with GTRs and it's where I did a lot of my racing. The Sim Touring Car Cup servers also run RB4, FXO, XRT practice.

If you MUST race BF1s, learn them on the Oval Junkies server. (Bear with me). Rather you learn safe single seater racing on an easy track than on a technical one where the chances of causing a pileup are higher.

I believe you're thinking of [CD]ConeDodgers Racing

I say Ska Vee Air, but I'm not sure if that's right or not

I think you're thinking of Rendering. You can't edit a picture to look like this, well you can, but it takes some serious work, and lots of experience. The pictures you're most likely seeing aren't actually taken from live for speed. They use the car models from LFS, and import them into CAD software, and use that to make renders. It's a completely different skill set

As far as I'm concerned, Photoshop CS2 is the gold standard when it comes to photo editing programs. However, I'm guessing you're not going to be able to afford it, it's around $650 USD. However, I was reading in some magazing, either Outdoor Photographer or Popular Photography about the Microsoft Digital Imaging Suite. Apparently it's much more than just a tool for reducing red-eye an emailing photos. I guess it actually does have some substance, also, it can use Adobe Photoshop filters and effects. The pro version costs about $110USD if I recall correctly.

I have a 15" Samsung LCD on my desk that kills any CRT I've ever seen, too.

I don't really refer to cars using a gender, but there are definitely masculine and feminine cars. A Dodge Viper is masculine, whereas an Alfa Romeo Berera is feminine. I still call cars "it" though.

I'm really partial to the SCCC's newest skins

You wouldn't use photoshop for that, you'd use Adobe Illustrator...

I haven't been to the cinema recently, but right now I would really like to see Stranger Than Fiction, I've seen it in previews on TV and it looks quite good.

By the way, in Forza, the car does turn by using the front wheels, it doesn't use rotation points. I've tried this many times before. Forza also has suspension movement, and on road cars, quite a bit of it. You can also see it has dynamic camber, and is simulating the circle of grip on each tire.

Now, I am NOT saying Forza is as realistic as LFS, not even close, but it's certainly not in the same class as GT4. In my opinion at least, Forza actually feels right, unlike a lot of other so called sims, including the SimBin/ISI titles....

if everyone seems to be lagging at the same time, it's most likely because you're the one that's lagging, ergo, all packets are coming to you slowly

LOL, There was no way they had any chance at all of making that corner. I love the "scheisse" at the end

140 km/h isn't that fast, but clearly faster than he can handle on those roads

Quote from wsinda :

Suppose Eric makes a new track for S2 Final, with turns that rival Karussell, Eau Rouge, Corkscrew, Parabolica and Druids. And suppose it also had an extra-long config. Would you still pay for the real thing? (In other words, what is the big attraction in a legendary, challenging track: the legend or the challenge?)

Another question: Since Eric can only spend his time once, would you be willing to sacrifice other graphical updates (e.g. new cockpits, better damage, weather, ...), in exchange for the Nordschleife?

Yes, actually, I would. Even if we get a new fantasy track with corners like those of the 'ring, it's still not the 'ring. It would be fun for sure, but still not the same. I have nothing against Eric as a track designer, in fact, as far as modern circuits go, his are better than almost any real life track. That's why I don't really care if we get other real life tracks in LFS. Those are just tracks, and Live For Speed already has superior tracks. The Nurburgring is a legend, and that would be at least half of what I'd be paying for when I bought the track. Again, I should also say that Bathurst is something more than just a track, it's a legend too. Mosport too, really. I wouldn't pay for something like Hungary or Albert Park or any other modern track though.

I'd love other real life tracks, and I'd pay for them. However, in the end, they're just tracks. The Nurburgring is a legend, plain and simple. Yes, I know, I can play it in GTL, GTR, GPL, and Racer, but those are all just conversions of the GPL track, which is a decent approximation at best. The Nurburgring is the only reason I have Forza Motorsport, it's the only track I ever race on. I paid $50 for Forza, and I'd gladly pay that much, maybe more, just to get the Nurburgring in LFS. Yes, it wouldn't be good for online pickup races, but it would be amazing offline and in leagues. I'd sell all my other games just to have it. It would be amazing.

Edited to say, I guess the only other track that falls in the category of "more than a track" would be Bathurst. I haven't had much experience with it other than GTR, GTL, and seeing it on TV, but it looks amazing too.

is it bad that I was bored and decided to watch Jaffa Cake eating videos to pass the time?

Nice one

I'd love to see your presentation, I always enjoy reading your posts on the technical side of racing sims

I'd gladly pay $25 for the Nurburgring. I know Eric could make a track similar to it, and I hope he does if we don't get the 'ring. But the Nurburgring is so legendary, I'd love to race it.

Quote from Speedier :

Is DFP a loud wheel because of the force feedback? I thought you can turn FF down as much as you want.

Cheers!!

Yep, the Force Feedback is completely adjustable. I don't really know about the difference in noise between the DFP and the MOMO, but I thought they were pretty similar.

I have a DFP by the way.

I'd like a big proving ground to just go mess around in. Something with ride/handling loops, a long test oval, and large paved areas for autocrossing.

Rondo Alla Turca on Youtube. None of them play it properly >.<

That is a great piece

How bad is the mobile phone fraud? Would she be better off asking one of the Brits on the forum here to buy one, then buy it from them? I can tell you I trust the guys on here a lot more than eBay...
