This might sound a bit harsh now, but seeing that a few idiots try to ruin the fun of ten thousands of people I'm completely FOR naming cheaters.
I'm sure the mighty ones have seen the problem and I'm also sure they can't sleep atm finding out a proper solution to this issue.
If I find someone cheating on one of Concept racing servers, or if a reliable friend tells me that person xxx used some kind of speedhack even ONCE on an online server he is going to get a lifetime ban immediately (I'd go and mark my calendar so I can resume the ban when the 999 days are over!)
I can totally understand if someone wants to achieve a certain goal in a singleplayer game and uses a cheat (everyone has done it). But this is not okay if it changes other player's game experience in any way.

that happened to me too after half a year.
If you have some spray grease or oil with that long plastic nozzle thing on it, just put it down the pedal rods and lube it up. I live in silence since 3 1/2 years now :-)

Since s2 I've been fascinated by the gtrs and totally fell in love with the 924GTS lookalike XRR. I'm not quick in it, but got used to its bitchy behaviour easily.
Brake early, use gears to brake, keep the turbo spinnig during the corner, balance your way out of it.
Also it's a real beauty on the track, it looks much finer, more fat free than the other two.
the Porrari-FZR is different. A fat pig in my eyes. It feels like a container ship in heavy storm.
Brake early (doNOT overuse gears), wait and let it roll through the corner completely, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait STOMP IT! Feels strange.
I can't really say something about the FXR (what is this, a VW passat 4wd??), it's easy to drive but with unexperienced drivers it's just plain slow and eats tyres like gummibears.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not telling anyone to stop doing what he/she likes, and I also do many many things for fun! Me racing lfs or slotcars, riding my bike, etc. etc., these things won't get mankind anywhere.
It is just as useless as speed world records. but they cost a fair bit more and bring other relevant disadvantages with them.
Also when I installed a sony radio with cd changer and some cute speakers into my Mini once, I did it for fun... but the actual goal was not having fun building the thing, it was listening to it when I finished it. And by doing funny stuff on the school parking you also want to impress, don't you?
greetz
der butz
Sure we've got different brains... we Germans don't believe in Monarchy anymore
Naah, we're mostly the same...Alright, that's why I said before that hormons rule the world... You want to have a better car with a louder radio to impress female humans, mate with them and secure the spreading of your dna..... That's why we fight against each other in EVERY way possible, period. (don't take this too seriously, but after all why are we here?!)
No, fun is something different (and I'm serious now!). We do things for adrenaline, but that can be achieved with less effort! Try bungee jumping, ist about 100% cheaper than building a billion $ car and racing it for 3 minutes before the vehicle goes into some museum forever.
As far as I see it these guys doing this want to have attention... or attract the most women (see stuff written above).
Trying to break the land speed record is not only dangerous and expensive, it's utterly useless and doesn't mean a single thing for mankind.

Those top speed records are literally complete nonsense. You collect money, buy the biggest power source you can get, put some metal around it with space to fit the 5 tons of gas and a driver in, and try to be faster than the mofos from xyz-contry. It's like the fight for the first moon landing between usa and ussr, just even more stupid (and more money involved maybe).
Did jet car people ever show genius in engineering? Did they really invent something that's useful today? Jet turbines? Fuel injection? Proper brakes? Airplane tires? other features?
No
Everything has been there (long) before, people building rocket cars have ALWAYS used technology that already existed. If it were for science purposes, speed records on wheels would be international affairs.
Concerning death rates for those attempts, many many people have died trying to break class records, just because there's no daily update in the news doesn't mean nobody died. Example: I've never heard of a fatal accident on the Isle of Man TT, at least not on the news.
With our track races it's just slightly different.. F1, DTM, nascar and
the like are for sure only testosterone and money on wheels... but at least they drive corners and have to brake. That's what keeps them closer to our normal cars, and sometimes, once in a while some F1 engineer invents something that IS useful. I can't remember what that was though... can you?

Yep, it uses a pot as steering input...
I've got mine for 4 years now and it's working great, no spikes in steering or pedals, no wobbly feeling because of worn out bearings, no problems at all... it costs around 120€ new, comes with 3 pedals. Imo that's everything you might need.

Thrustmaster Rally GT pro is THE alternative. Much sturdier than the dfp, better bearings than a momo AND the dfp, half the price of the g25, steering as smooth as the g25, less crappy under installation/calibration, more silent and easier to set up than ALL the others.

What does ME have to do with 2000????
ME is a graphically, more messy DOS-based Win95/98 while 2000 is a "proper" operating system based on WinNT...
Back in the days win98/ME were for home offices and players while NT and 2k were for workstations and servers.
MS never intended 2k to be a player's OS, many players switched to it when there were drivers and dx available. 2k has by far been one of the most stable microsoft products.

If you have any wishes, suggestions or else on what to do, when and where to race, quali/race settings, ................ please post them here!
I personally find that with these close fields it might be important to run some medium long tracks.. shorties got boring, you don't need to race slow cars on short tracks only.
Go ahead guys, post, post and awayyyyyyy!

indeed, if you really need a cheap wheel try and search for a sidewinder (only usb-version!!). Usually you get one frome ebay, lube it up, maybe fix some screws and you've got a wheel that still is good to drive, has got ff and responds very quickly!

I used a €3,95 joypad for the additional buttons.
sure it is no proper box, I just needed some chat buttons so I didn't have to touch the keyboard while driving.
Flyboys set is something different though and a tiny bit more complicated, but only playing lfs and only using joy2key to assign the buttons I feel quite comfortable with this cheapo solution :-)

I got a sapphire hd2600xt for around 130€/90 pounds (it's cheaper nowadays), I can play at 1680x1050(/100fps limit) with everything maxed just fine. I'm totally happy with the card.
My processor is a c2d E6550, 2 gigs of ram.
If you've got a little more money left you can go for a 3850, this one might be even quicker.
Don't ever listen to stupid replies like scooby's... following garph's reply might be the way to go here.

This kind of mentality is.... let's say not the smartest.
-There are 70% Nvidia users in this forum maybe, 20 Ati, 10% rest/onboard/... stuff.
-Everyone seems to be quite happy with his choice.
-nvidia users would like to "help out" their favourite company, same for ati users.
-read 3-10 unbiased reviews and get the one of your choice, since you never have exactly the same system as they use in the tests, there might be slight differences anyway. So don't count every single frame, see how much a card would be worth for you and take the one that gives you the fastest pixel for the least money I'd say.

I'm sorry, but I feel the need to get involved in this discussion with some practical input.
CR had 2 spotters, me and R.Hoiting. we were constantly following the race via the tracker and remote (with me sometimes having to reconnect after suffering from connection problems).
Our strategy was : Moose 1st stint, bean0 2nd, Tony 3rd, Moose 4th to gain some ground back.
After a few minor incidents and quite unlucky descisions concerning SC laps we've found ourselves 4 laps down with a slightly popping engine and the Moose catching up to the SR car. He could do 1:09:low stable and came from about 20s behind SR to about 1s!
IF the above new rule would be there it would not have allowed us to unlap ourselves several times to get back to our position.
Imo you can surely change the blue flag rules in order to refine things, but maybe you should more adress to the drivers brains then put up more regulations.
Overtaking, especially lapping always involves the thing called common sense by both racers involved.
Let's take KY as an example, the first few corners after the high camber one. It will NOT be possible to make a clean pass in the right hander, cars might overshoot and land in the sand trap. The best thing to do here for the lapping car would be to wait and stay a few car lengths behind until the beginning of the double right, take a wider line, thus being able to accelerate faster and get the blue flagged car easily on the straight. This whole thing might be a few tenths slower (depending on both car's pace) but no one would be hurt.
I expect people to do it the first described way though....
If everyone would use his brain you could spare the safety car and we all could really enjoy the races
enough of that now :-)

Thrustmaster Rally GT pro ffb has 3 pedals, you can get a 2 pedal version cheaper from ebay maybe.
On both wheels there are 2 shifter paddles AND 2 independant Axis paddles you can use to throttle and brake.

There doesn't neccessarily have to be a big C on every skin file.
On the other hand you got the file as psd, so where did you get it from? I like people who at least ask for permission before they do anything with a skin... seen too many great skins (e.g. from master skinnerz like teazR) being ripped, then raped by stupid people :-)
IMO you can try and build your own skin that looks quite like the original, put some other lines and stuff on it and upload it, that way you have copied parts but not altered the skin itself.
