I uploaded a version without music to YouTube, which just contains the karting and podium ceremony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkk48gPz9U

I always wondered what exactly happened to cause this outburst, but this movie has enlightened me. Incredible!

Lotus limiter will make a return: Read: http://members.iracing.com/ifo ... amp;start=75&tstart=0


"posted by Eric Hudec, reason the rev limiter was added back was because too many folks were blowing up... In the near future we'll have a switch where the user can choose to run with it on or off. "

Just found out about this: http://www.racefanstv.com/

It's a website that broadcasts motorsports from the past, all the time. You can use the site for free, or pay £3.75 per month for on-demand streaming and higher quality streams. To me, it seems like the kind of thing racefans have been wanting for quite a while! Does anyone already use this service? Is it good? Are the rest of you interested in this kind of service, or will you stick to a certain Underground Racing website for your classic motorsport?

Quote from DevilDare :

UAV... Hate that thing

By the time I lock on I some sniper takes me out...

I found an awesome solution - use the optics package specialisation. You can hover across the other side of the map, but be able to see the enemy base in perfect clarity. I once spent an entire Rush (attacker) game in the UAV, and racked up a lot of spot assists and kills and never got shot down, thanks to the optics package. And yes, we won (although my squad must have hated me).

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I lost patience with Modern Warfare 2 and went back to BC2 last night, and had quite a blast! I'm only rank 8 and I seem to have fallen ridiculously behind everyone... And I still can't fly helicopters, and spent about 5 minutes flying my UAV along the ground and up hills before I worked out how to take off.

Just to update this post from two months ago: I can now fly helicopters pretty well, and know how to fly UAVs (even if they get shot down 30 seconds after take-off). I've unlocked all the equipment, which gives me a great deal of choice in every game. It's really good that you can change your setup mid-game, which means you can adapt to any situation. I have no idea what I saw in MW2 after playing this game.

Quote from spacedskunk :

Can you beleive theres Battlefield 3 beta already? WTF.

I was a tad confused about that, but yeah 'within 12 months of the release of Medal of Honor'.

If it worked once, it'll work again. You have to press it every time you leave the pitlane. The button might be different; for me it's L.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Well you're right about one thing Passo, you don't know much about LFS, since the race you are speaking of is the KY500 and not the KY250 (which I won running for CoRe).

Well done, you spotted my deliberate mistake! Ha ha ha, we all had such a laugh.

Quote from PMD9409 :

TBH, I don't think it would look right with you, deko, passo commentating iR. I don't think you guys could get the excited wheel to wheel action like you can with LFS. For example I don't see you guys screaming about racing like iTCC, or even the KY250/500. You guys would seem so boring.

I'd love to commentate on iRacing, but I know absolutely nothing about the iRacing community (even less than I know about LFS, for instance, until half way through the KY250 I forgot that Nolan and you didn't drive for CoRe any more).

I assure you, I get excited about everything remotely close to action in any kind of racing.

Quote from bunder9999 :

it's not supposed to look like that...

<goes to YT for screenshot>

WTF?? they changed their layout AGAIN!!!

they used to appear on the right with those other videos.

Yeah. It was an expandable list with the same options. I guess this new one takes up less room, but grey isn't a very YouTube colour, if I'm going to be picky.

EDIT: And once again, they have a stupid autoplay option that CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. YouTube annoys me so much sometimes...

I just noticed this. Initially it didn't work properly, but now it is... It contains all your subscription videos in one weird bar. It definitely does not match the rest of the site!

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

How can I add people to the myracers friend list? It was easy before the update, but I can't see through this new system. The mouse-over version worked fine before the update, but now I have no idea.

You still mouse over the driver's helmet and click 'add friend'.

Quote from count.bazley :

It's alright Wilko, even Greger Huttu caused a massive pile-up because he got stuck in neutral at the start!

That's a little comforting.

I read through all the patch notes yesterday and my head imploded and exploded at the same time. The amount of detail they went into to explain the new transmissions was insane. I have no idea what's changed! But, I only really drive the VW, Solstice and Skippy so maybe things aren't so different on that front.

Quote from count.bazley :

Aha, it is working, we're just really stupid. I was spectating that race rather than in it, logged out, thought you were in a race and then tried to spectate it only to end up watching the same race I was watching minutes earlier!

I think the little icon next to your friends' name is a steering wheel if they are racing in that session and binoculars if they are spectating it.

Ah! That's funny At least one of us worked out what was going on.

Trying out the spectator option and it doesn't seem to work properly. I'm trying to watch a race from one of my friends but I keep connecting to the wrong split. Duh.

Lots of stuff in there!

So I wonder if that damage update also means some cars no longer get insane amounts of body damage for small impacts. eg the Solstice; a tiny bump at the front can push the front of the car half way up the windshield, meaning you can't see anything.

That USB cable is mine! Sorry about that. I'm sure I can buy a replacement somewhere if you don't want to spend money on posting it back

Thanks for the comments, guys. Also, thanks to the admin for editing my post when the video was ready!

Finally, the video is up. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

On July 24th, 37 LFS racers converged at G-Force Karting in Wales for action-packed action. Take a look!
