I could do with an ArmA3 alpha light invite for my brother if anyone has one to spare please.

EDIT: Sorted thanks.

Quote from J@tko :

(I'm also on Virgin 60 meg in Bristol - where do you live Stu? :tilt

Redland

I haven't had anyone saying I lag, I cant remember the last time I discoed, and my q meter is always green.

125 to the US servers, 40ish to the Nettherlands.

A touch higher during peak hours usually.

Thats on Virgin 60 meg from Bristol

Quote from TexasLTU :

Just to remind you, 2010 World Cup final, De Jong v. Xabi Alonso... Yellow card.

Possibly the worst refereeing decision of the tournament.

Foot to the chest=dangerous play. Dangerous play=Red

Even Roy Keane said it was red If anyone knows about dangerous play he does

Quote from tristancliffe :

If you were choosing a flying game based on graphics, surely you wouldn't choose either of them?
If you were choosing a flying simulator based on realism, surely you'd choose X-Plane?
If you were choosing a flying game based on what's available in computer shops and didn't care that it was actually a bit rubbish, surely you'd choose FSX?

Spoken like a man who hasn't got good FSX addons...

Fill your world with ORBX scenery and A2A aircraft and tell me it looks poor and has crap physics.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

It's the best deal ever. Spend $100 and get $5.

How can you pass that deal up!?

No one spends $100 on the subscription Dustin. Well, no one with a brain.


Spend $49 and get 10% back.... fair enough deal imo

It's getting beyond a joke.

Has this suddenly turned into the iRacing thread?


...back to AC

@TE0815PaVeL http://www.assettocorsa.net .. dont know when it's going to be on precisely, but it's tonight.

Quote from troy :

Talking about twitter, some people really got nothing better to do. First of all what is iRacing even doing on steam, I don't quite get that and secondly who is fanboy enough to vote NO on another simracing title on steam.

Truly pathetic. I will never understand the mentality of the retards who would do shit like that.

Quote from tristancliffe :

I can't even get into the 23s, but I suspect I'm driving too "realistically", rather than taking advantage of the fact it's a simulator. Old (new?) habits die hard!

Driving it realistically is the way to go. Though you wont go faster after 2 or 3 laps anyway. Restarting the session is currently bugged and doesn't give you fresh tyres like it should, so if you want that "ultimate lap" you've gotta do it in the first couple of laps. The only way to stick new tyres on is to exit the session and go back in again.

All the really fast laps i've seen have been done by left foot braking and revmatching/clutchless downshifting. You can hear the grinding of the gearbox. It's been said that when damage is turned on that will kill the transmission pretty quickly, so it'll be a pointless way to drive races.

I'm driving it realistically as quite frankly it feels like the most realistic simulation of a car I've yet driven . I'm hoping this will be the way to go for the full release with damage on. The 'sim hotlapping' techniques should kill the car quickly by the sounds of things.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I'm hearing some 'arcade' comments on the other forums, are they full of shi* or the driiving model isn't full on sim?

Arcade my arse. Have these people ever driven a car?

Quote from ACCAkut :

can anyone tell if AC can be played with multiple input devices (two wheels)?

Cant say for sure about two wheels, but it certainly supports multiple devices just fine.

Running a DFGT, G25 pedals with Bodnar cable and a TH8RS Shifter. No issues.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

I'm having some problems with rectangles squares around the trees.

Any fix for this?

Your GPU isn't compatible. Time to upgrade i'm afraid.

Most important FBB change for me (DFGT) was turning it down in game (I'm at 70 gain)

Suddenly had a load more detail and much better feeling. 100 gain was clipping permanently. It felt terrible.

Thanks Boris. That left a small white texture in the corner of the screen. Much less distracting than the AC overlay, but not quite perfect.

EDIT: I'm being a knob. I saved the thumnail, not the full thing

Works great now. Cheers

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Its a PNG called 'watermark' in AC_TechPreview/content/texture. So I presume you can just make it a transparent image and use that.

Would anyone that can do that sort of thing mind knocking it up and posting it?

It would be much appreciated

Quote from e2mustang :

so i need to buy nkp just to try the demo?

This is not a demo! how many times does it have to be said? Think of this as a beta test for nKPro owners.


The demo will be free for everyone. (and will have more content and features)

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Wouln't exactly label this as hacking, a demo which they shoudl've released to everyone anyway, not just nkp users.

It's not the demo though is it? The demo will be released to everyone.

This is more like a limited beta test of the engine, which they can release to whoever they bloody well like.

Quote from DeKo :

The whole point of this Tech Preview was to test the licensing system. Stop being an entitled child. What kind of self-respecting sim racer doesn't have a copy of NKP anyway?

Exactly.

This whole "I'm entitled to whatever I want" attitude really ****s me off.

FFS, buy netKar or wait for the Demo.

Christ, I'm no angel, but cracking the work of small indie companies is just pathetic.

The worst thing is he goes on about 'gentleman racing' then posted this in the isr forum

"Thanks for all the comments guys.. Has me realizing that next time. I just spin him and go on my way.. No more gentleman racing from me.."



Says it all really.

Woohoo!!1!1 a Kia!!111!!!!!


At last... I've been dreaming of the day we would have a Kia in a top sim. Can't think of anything more awesome.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I don't embrace what the general public leads you to embrace.. I just have the ability to spot bogus and pretentious crap better then most people

ROFL!

"Pretentious crap" the often rolled out quote by people who dont understand what they are watching

No worries, you can insert your Act of Valour and Avatar disks again, happy in the knowledge you aren't watching any pretentious crap.... just crap


...only messing with ya Boris As I said, each to their own.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

The second one..

Right.

You really dont appear to embrace any quality cinema do you?

Each to their own.

EDIT: It's Coen by the way. I thought something looked wrong.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Miss Bala

Interesting story told in a completely uninteresting 'cohen brothers' like fashion.. Confusing, slow, boring, emotionless..

Are you saying it's in a Coen Brothers style, but uninteresting, or that the Coen Brothers style is uninteresting?
