Great art critics her, I like. In addition, this was a painting the former General State Attorney of Ukraine, Pshonka, had done of himself. Quite a piece of art
it's always been part of endurance racing, and IMO it makes racing more thrilling. More tactical thinking and variation on track, not just in the pits.
the MX-5 is a great choice, if done right it could be a good competitor to the stock E30.
About mods in general, I don't really know how the AC engine "does car physics" ie. if its similar to RFactor and its tables of data. My guess (from the patch changelogs, which often contain "physical" changes to car suspensions) would be that its different. So if a modder gets the suspension pickup points, the CoG and engine power and torque curves right, the car will behave right.
btw, there are so many great mods in development already (GTs Trail Mountain, Rudskögen Motorpark etc.), if all those get made properly I see a bright future for AC.
A friend of mine said lots of RFactor modders disappointed with RFactor 2 changed over to AC.
I agree on the bad weather thing and omitting of those astonishing numbers, but I'm pretty sure other supercars get threated just as harsh and survive. One hour of hard driving? A track-oriented super car like this should be able to do that without parts failing , especially on a wet track
A compound charged LS7 ... haven't seen anyone manage this setup in tuner car, so I'm not that surprised Zenvo has its problems But I'd expect better durability if you dare to send your car to Top Gear And in that weather load on engine and transmission couldn't be that high anyway.
well its running a race version of the Yamaha V8, flat-plane crank which makes it more or less a double inline-4. Merc and Nissan probably use the same configuration, but Mercedes probably did more "sound engineering" to give its car a rather unique howl.
I wasn't racing, I ways trying to get within 5 sec of you others guys qualification times I'm often on cargame durign the evening hours, can't see myself commiting to a series.
On the Olympics, I have to say I'm a little proud seeing the current result tables Waiting for the bob sled rounds, guess we can get a few Golds there aswell. The 500m iceskating was crazy, podium full of dutchmen.
Well there are lots of good (and free) other shows and sources, Fifth Gear and /DRIVE to name two.
Pretty sure Top Gear doesn't even try to compete with them. It found its role as entertainment involving cars
The Alfa/quadjetskibikespinecrusher part was cool, liked the Bond music theme they maintained through it.
The British Army segment ... unsure what to think about it. Lots of info on the machinery, bit of comedy, but for military stuff it was too positive. Not once did they voice even a little criticism on the whole operation, but maybe thats just me.
P1 was cool because I expected a pure track test, and certainly not one of foreign terrain.
Three years now, only had to bend the plate that holds the shift-buttons from time to time when 2nd gear started to "jump out". But over the last weeks I ran into some problems, I tended to overshoot under braking, somehow I struggled a lot more than usually. I than noticed that my throttle axis spiked a lot while and after heel-toeing, meaning while I used brake and throttle at the same time. Throttle stayed at ~10% even when fully depressed until I used the brakes again.
I traced it back to a broken cable, the black one that connects both potis. Soldered in a new cable, now I can blame my driving errors on myself again
No slowdowns on my side, in general the sim runs an average of 10-15 fps more in a normal cargame grid, and a lot smoother. I'm pretty prone to recognizing stuttering (60hz TVs vs 100hz, 24 fps cinema to 48 etc.), and I see less
Ehm, I don't know how they do it in Yippyyahow Texas, but here to be allowed to call yourself an Engineer you have to have at least a bachelor degree in engineering There is no state certified test at the end, but the whole course of studies are.
Software engineers are absolutely engineers, IMO "real" engineering and software engineering can't be separated in todays world. The little PCL and C++ I learned is laughable compared to real IT tho
