Speedhunters always has a lot of nice pics to choose from. Got a folder full of pics, changes every 2 hours.

and it sounds so boring, just like the Camry that engine once came out of. PMD, do you still have those Evora GTE onboards somewhere that were posted on you youtube channel? Those should make a good base for a sound pack.

Surprised about how stable the performance is even with all 12 AIs in view. The E30 race is a blast, even tho they still almost kick my ass on "medium" The 500 Abarth race is bumper cars at its finest, and lets not talk about the Supercar challenge ...

thats how you close a pool

Quote from vipex123 :

German media and British media talking about the possibility that Schumacher may be in a coma for the rest of his life.

hmm, I haven't heard those news anywhere in our (serious) media. Last reports I saw were about some videos that showed how Michael crashed, nothing else.

that's brutal. Fastest I managed so far was a ~6:30 with the 599XX on the Reverse run. Still crash out on 90% of my tries

~700 € a semester here, or to be precise only the next semester, since student fees have been abolished in my state from summer 2014 on. Yay communism.
Student fees in the US are astronomical. Would be cheaper for you to come over here to study.

Still the average student does not have a car, and those that do have Twingos, Polos, or handmedown wagons from their parents.

Dfgt seems to be a little problematic, I have one too. I have to go into the wingman software, onto the Global settings page, change the wheel rotation to say 899° and back to 900°, click Ok before I start AC from Steam, or the game will start with the wheel in 360° mode

edit: I too only power it up (and thus calibrate) when I want to play (I built a switch into the cable)

2008, Bush still president, how long has it been :sorry:

Well, pumping the Atos to 165 kp/h on the autobahn weren't that good in the long run I guess But it served you well.

Of the two you named I'd go for the Mazda. But two more you might consider:

Hyundai i30 and Kia Cee'd aka reasonably priced car.

In both cases a lot of car for the money, and both surpass the Golf in most german car tests I read (only losing in resale value every time)

somehow managed to take this pic with the rather puny camera in my RAZR I. Apart from the resize I did nothing to it.

Wankels are great and rather fuel efficient within a rather small power band, that why they still get used for aircraft and generators. Mazda could keep one onboard running say a steady 8k rpm coupled to a generator, feeding full electric motors :twirl: (would this be allowed? Don't know the regs that well)

Quote from MoMo92i :

petrol-hybrid for Nissan

yeah, but what engine configuration? N/A V8 like Toyota, or V6, or smaller turbo V6, or Deltawing-like turbo inline-4? And what sort of Hybrid system. I'm just a sucker for race car tech

Quote from Mustafur :

If Mazda came in with a Rotory Hybrid that would be godly

Apparently I was wrong with Mazda canning the wankel: article
Didn't Mazda experiment with Hydrogen burning Wankels for some time, and even offer a Mazda 6 model with on on thier home market? Hydrogen, by burning much faster and cleaner than petrol, could work quite well in a wankel ...

wanted to watch the race today, but after one hour the stream just stopped and a schedule for the next appeared

about Nissan joining WEC: Well, when one japanese manufacturer joins a series a second will often follow. I'm rather curious on what technology Nissan will use.

Is Mazda still evaluating WEC? I know the rotary development was canned altogether, but their Skyactive engine technology could be showcased here as well.

ok, with your settings the rattling is gone, but so is all the feel somehow, feels really weird

edit: those seem quite fine, not rattling while driving

Need a little help setting up my DFGT. Atm their is a lot of rattling around the neutral position, and I don't know which settings I should make to all the "gamma" Filter and whatnot in the Steering options

5XX sound is addicting, surprisingly controllable on Joux Plane. But I haven't made a clean run with anything other than the Fiat 500 yet (no full hour of playtime yet)

edit: steam nick is AccAkut87

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Yeah i guess there's no 'correct' way of driving a sim, at the end of the day, it's a sim..

What scares me with Joux-Plane now, is that i kinda don't have the will to drive racing tracks now :/ I even dared to compare it to Nordschleife and wondered what is a better driving experience.. what the hell is going on.
Even better then RBR ever was, cause rally cars are so perfectly setup for those kind of roads, it's much challenging in ordinary road going cars..

Finally got AC since .. two hours ago, what a phenomenal game/sim. First track I tried was Joux Plane with the P4/5, got stuck in a hairpin
But I understand what you're feeling there. But for me at least its partly because the tracks we have for now are sort of "clinical", and I don't really have a sort of connection to all those italian tracks.

btw, what a difference that flip size queue thingy makes

edit: in direct comparism to LFS the AC engine sound is a little unsatisfactory. I mean its really nice when you go WOT down a straight, but tip-toeing round a corner with like 20% throttle it sounds off, not fitting for the load state the engine should be in. LFS does this better. The gear whine on the other hand is really nice and changes upon load

Please add at least 20 links to you favourite circle jerking conspiracy sites to fund you claims.

... Cheerio was a funnier troll


.. regarding snow, non in sight. On the contrary the weather is quite warm for this time of a year.

Saw The Physician (Der Medicus) last weekend, surprisingly good film. While its at heart a German production all the main actors are rather big names from the UK and Hollywood (Ben Kingsley, Stellan Skarsgard, Emma Rigby etc; produced in English and dubbed as usual for uzz Germanzz). It discards big portions of the book (the whole trip from the UK to Persian shores) but is still 150 min long.

If you liked Kingdom of Heaven for its setting you'll like this one too

Tl;dr: ^n, n = rainbow

Cheerio was actually rather comfy as a troll, since all users completly ignored his posts anyway.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

So how you're guys reading into this, we should forget about RBR conversions in the future, or they just don't 'officially' support it..

its like with VOB-mods in LFS ... easy to obtain with a little googlefu, but nothing to share on the official forums. Kunos would be stupid if they never anticipated content being imported into their game.

Hmm, difficult topic. Guess Kegetys did that track more or less to test whatever the conversion routine he wrote, and chose RBR because it basically is a dead game from a dead studio (so like 2x as dead as LFS :P ) that still lives through an active community.

Whats Kunos' take on converted content? Wasn't even Eric OK with people converting his LFS cars to other games as long as you gave him and his game credit? Found an FZR model for Trackmania once that ticked all those boxes.
