While it's not the most realistic, I do like the idea. I like forced pit races, but just stopping for one second in the pits isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

OT, but Ian, can I get a link to some of your Brazil scenes? From what I remember, they were very very good.
Thanks!

For all the Non-Euros here, this is the best I could find
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_song_contest

The entire DSRC team

and team NASSA of course

Oh, and the Krautracing team is always good fun, and they always have good servers running good combos.

Filur and Felplacerad are always funny too

Thanks guys! I got it with the tensioned cloth, now off for more

I'm completely stuck on Void 7, level 21. I thought I'd give the game a rest until finals were over, and maybe I'd have more ideas, but I have absolutely none, I hate voids
Can anyone help me please?

All I can think of is a bridge, but that doesn't work

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Hmm. In the LFS Garage, the same character map appears to be used for 0 and O. And it's a taller shape like a 0 not an O, but being the same it's not conclusive. The same phenomenon is on the LFS Main site in the cars section, but then the character is more like an O in all situations on the website - the inverse of on the LFS Garage screen. Interesting. LFSW is the only place I've seen that... Perhaps even Victor doesn't know what it's called

Besides, FX- OH is silly... What's next - FZ FIVE-OH?

It's FX-OH, because it's a letter, it's FZ-Fifty because it's numbers

I remeber way back when, before S2 came out, a pack of screenshots were released of the "new" FXO, and the name of the .zip on the site was "newfxoshots.zip" I think that settles it

Quote from Becky Rose :

What you dont hear there is what Nelson Piquet is saying, which I remember from the time was,

"Piquet: MOVE !"
"Piquet: BLUE FLAG!"
"Piquet: FRICKIN NOOB!!!!!! GO PRACTISS OFFLINE JERK!"
"Piquet voted to kick Salazaar (1/6)"

What you forget is
"Salazaar joined the spectators"
"Vote Cancelled"

Quote from col :

nonsense. e-bay bought PayPal when PayPal was already an established and highly successful business.
Paypal has employed some highly dubious business tactics - particularly targetting small business, many who have had their accounts 'frozen' without reasonable explanation. Any Funds remaining in those accounts become instantly locked... I was lucky, when they froze mine it had exactly £0.00 in it.
here's some juice from wikipedia - it doesn't take much googling to find loads more

Well, I got some bad info then Thanks for the info, that kind of changes my view of PayPal, LOL.

I want to know who voted that they did have problems. Also, I think the thread title is a little difficult to understand, if not misleading. I had to read the post a couple times to get it

PayPal was created by eBay to be completely safe, without PayPal, or if PayPal turns out to be fraudulent, eBay is dead. My dad and I have done dozens if not hundreds of PayPal transactions on eBay and other places, both buying and selling, and we've never had a problem.

Quote from col :

yep hehe - Shaun obviously knows he was in the wrong - says sorry at the incident, then later starts getting right into defensive mode and lying - like by the end of the race he's already begun to convince himself it wasn't his fault illepall

I say sorry whenever I touch someone, whether it's my fault or not.

I think it's a shared responsibility thing. The incident could have been prevented by both drivers. Shaun did rejoin the track fairly quickly, but in that corner there really isn't anywhere to go if you're offline. Had he chosen to rejoin the track later, that would have put him either at the apex of the lefthander or in the dip part between the two corners.

Olddog could have either slowed down and fallen in behind him, rather than attempting a pass on the dip, or given him more room.

It's a difficult situation, as in a league race you want to lose as little time as possible, Shaun really could have stopped and let the field past, but he'd just gone from last to third, and I'm guessing the thought didn't even cross his mind.

I'm sure Olddog wanted to take advantage of Shaun's mistake as quickly as possible and make the pass, leading to a rather optimistic pass.

I think it's a racing incident, simply two drivers trying to be in the same place at the same time.

Quote from tristancliffe :

What about the rest of the wheel?

Nice one, that always bugs me when people say that

The day after the "Pie Race" I saw this, and thought you needed it.

Edit, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a replay

If the Stig can get 59 seconds, I want to see what Alonso could do.

Is Monaco ever good? IMO it's the most boring race of the season every year. Sure they can't pass on other tracks, but at Monaco it's guaranteed that they won't. Sure I like strategy and pitlane drama as much as the next guy, but in the end, it is a race, not a parade.

Quote from TagForce :

True, and that's one of the reasons I don't race the oval in LFS that much... It defies the point of oval racing... Generally, people in LFS that enjoy the oval just wanna go fast and don't care about the racing so much. But it's just an FM server rule, steer clear of them and find yourself one that does care about racing ovals.

And yes, I DO know how to race on an oval, and I did so extensively. Yes, there were wrecks, and yes there was bumpdrafting in NR2003S. And yes, I've won my share of races. LFS is nothing like that, and I prefer NR2003S for ovals any day.

So if the racer in first defends the lower line, there's no chance anyone can win? I always thought side by side racing was the holy grail of motorsport illepall

I'd really like to hear FM's reason for this.

I have a pair of Sony MDR-V700DJ's that work very well, the sound reproduction is great and they're very comfortable. I paid $150 for them but you'd probably get them for around 90 pounds

How old are these applications? Windows XP won't run 16-bit applications any more, which is what the error message looks like, but I'm just taking a guess.

I don't race on the oval, but I've heard you can't pass on the outside of corners. What's the purpose of that?

How is this a bug? I've played up there before too, it's fun.

Well, I looked, and it's a 7300LE, and I feel like an idiot. I looked at the site that Bob provided, and it looks to be a very decent card. Thanks for all the info guys!

I know absolutely nothing about nVidia cards, as all I've ever owned was ATi, but my dad just bought a new computer yesterday, and I'm wondering if the card is any good. It's an nVidia GeForce MX7700 (I think, I'll have a look in the morning) running with a 2.8GHz Pentium D and 2.0 Gigs of RAM. I seem to recall that some of the GeForce MX series were total crap, and I'm wondering if I should upgrade this one for him.

Just a brief run down on the different nVidia graphics card series would be great

This probably seems to be BF1 specific because of the huge aerodynamic drag F1 cars have at 200 MPH, lifting off the throttle in an F1 car is like a full panic stop in a road car.
