Quote from Scrabby :

I noticed if you actually go out and meet new people, it's pretty easy...

Went out to a lot of places from the 23rd to say yesterday, came across not one single single lady Either my old hometown is full of couples, or female bachelors are not allowed to go out for some reason (not that I'm really looking for a girl here, as its four hours away from where I live nowadays)

On a sidenote, one of my younger cousins proudly announced that his gf of one month is pregnant ...

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Unforunately the drivers usually have it at 3 pre-rendered frames.

edit: also the setting in the DX11 AC file is at 0 by default which means "leave it to the drivers to decide". If you change the number, it forces that number of pre-rendered frames and over rides the drivers.

So you can either change it in the drivers and leave the DX11 file alone, or you can change it in the DX11 file to force it there. Either way works.

how can I change that setting in the catalyst suite bzw. how is it called there? Just want to try what difference it makes in numerous games.

Quote from Scrabby :

That looks so 2009. Is anyone really still waiting for that? A slow road car?

production of that gen Scirocco will stop next year anyway, so I could care less with it LFS

As my mother put it, finally the old house is full of people again. Church was nice, we alway join the 23:00 mass, no noisy kids in that one
Lots of my old school and town buddies are back at their parents as well, and like every year on the 23rd probably half my hometowns population (those 16 from to 60) met on the christmas market and talked about what happened last year etc.
(this minus the snow)



To all you guys, merry christmas and slide well into next year. Not in your cars tho

Couldn't resist this anymore and bought it this morning as a Christmas present to myself Can't wait to set my wheel up and get out on the track, it's been ages since I've done any sim racing. My poor wheel needs some TLC after all the dust that's gathered on it!

woah, now thats a nick I haven't seen for some time

Hyundai chose the nimble mountain goat as inspiration for its new i20 WRC, unfortunately including its olfactory qualities.

Quote from Blade3562 :

You are an idiot.

Any proof for Walkers car nut live prior to the film? Can't find anything.

You talked about "unique" car mods done for the film. I said those were not unique. Thats it. Yes we have lots of Evos of different gens in the EU. They're nice for rallying.

I admit I got it wrong with the filming location. Knew that at least the final race in the mine and the chase in the city was filmed in the US.

About you knowing someone at Holley ... Product placement is product placement. I know "higher ups" at Bosch, VW and Ferrero. They all do it.

Comparing F&F to superhero films ..? Try James Bond, The Transporter, the Bourne series and so on. They do realistic stunts.

and better leave tristan alone, it gets ugly trying to fight him

Quote from The Very End :

Whats the big deal with the Nordschleife anyway? The most overrated track in video game history. I think it's too long to give fun races. For hotlapping, sure, but for racing... meh there are so many more fun tracks to chose from.

IMO!

well then put it in the game for that exact reason, hotlapping. Its IMO! the most rewarding track just for running laps on your own, spent hours circling it with hundreds of cars in GT4.

Voted A1 Ring, but only because I expected Nordie to take 1/3 of the votes anyway.

Quote from Blade3562 :

That simple sentence there shows YOU know nothing about cars. The Volkswagen Jetta in the first fast and furious movie actuallt was a 2.slo aba with a nitrous oxide system and several other parts, several bolt on. But it was faster than the s2k.

There is more technical work and specs done to these movie cars than you wikl ever understand. I bet you didn't even know the chargers used in Fast Five have a specially modified trans/shift points to allow for drifting because the cars wanted to upshift mid drift. I bet you also didn't know the 1970 Chargers in the first move were the only Iines with Mopar motors, but only the hero car had a real blower. However the blowere was hollowed out and was just a fancy air intake. The Chargers used in Fast and Furious and Fast Five were originally planned to have 592 Hemis, but due to parts delays the cara were fitted with 350 Chevrolet Small Blocks so filming could commence. (The garage scene in Fast and Furious was a 592). This is the same for every film involving cars. They built AWD Vanquishs for 007 - Die another day for example

Paul Walker actually was a Skyline fan before any of the movies. He wasn't. He got interested in the car scene while doing the first film and owned the R34 by the time they did the second.

The 2 Fast 2 Furious Evo 7s were the only LHD ones ever built. They weren't. Nor was the RWD conversion something special. The RWD Golf R32 they made for the film was, but its scenes got cut.

Tokyo Drift used real Veilside display cars and actually payed over 100k for the Hero RX7. They also flew the Holley NOS bike over to Japan for static display in Hans garage. They filmed almost all scenes in the US. Product placement is normal

Watch the movies and then you'll understand. There is actually a lot of car knowledge and effort poured into them. Plus almost all the stunts are real. Not many other modern movies do that! Almost all films do that. Read a little into it and you'll understand

phewwwwww we are saved from the Bieber......

http://thesupercarkids.com/fas ... e-given-to-justin-bieber/

well, I pointed out all the facts in that article a week ago

On JT getting a role, why not. The F&F series is one I'm totaly fine with gathering all kinds of (famous) actors, bit like the Expendables film. Expands the "Hell yeah" factor

Quote from Racer Y :

I don't know much about VW and quality drops. I don't really like them to begin with. We had a VW Fox when we were first married. Unlike the other German cars I had the pleasure to work on, this one was easy - but it had drums in the back.

Quality of the main brand went down a bit (or a bit more, depending on who you ask) since ~2005. For example my little city car got a nice heated rear screen, a hydraulic bonnet strut and a range of rather evolutionary engines, while the direct successor got none of these. Same with the suspension i think on the Golf Mk.4 to Mk.5 and so on.
At the same time VAG tries to push the VW brand up a little in terms of prestige, while Skoda and Seat fill in under it.

Quote from Racer Y :

No. these are NEW cars. Like maybe three - four years old at most. But seeing them with temporary dealer tags instead of actual license plates on most of them I see, they're pretty new. I dunno... maybe auto dealers here in the states offer a decent financing plan that appeals to consumers and can compete with the programs offered by competitors?

cars are so much cheaper in the US than here, even german brands. If we didn't need to update brakes and lights to german spec re-import would be a bigger deal around here Not to mention you got some nice options we don't get (the 2.5 Golf).

Porsches still outnumber any other comparable sportscar like 10 to 1 here, people won't turn their heads for a 911. Especially not here where I live, but thats cause they ship from here. Transporters full of GT3s are no rarity

that article rates cars based on the defects that were found during the TÜV inspections, so it should be relatively unbiased (even if you let your authorized garage do the inspection, its an independent TÜV guy doing the tests in it).

Porsches do lead in the ranking of cars older than 8 years, which might be the main reason you see more and more: They just last, and can go through many hands in their long life.

Bottom Line
There have been no announcements that Justin Bieber will star in Fast 7, or that he will replace Paul Walker in the film. This speculation stems from an interview with Ludacris discussing a possible role for Bieber in the film months before production had begun.

http://wafflesatnoon.com/2013/ ... t;-replacing-paul-walker/

Some years ago allowing the same engine in WEC and F1 was the master plan, don't forget that. And it sort of worked back in the 90s, giving us such beast like the 905 and XJR-14.

@Blueflame: To make it short, you have no idea of the technology involved in both series.

no wonder this thread dies so often if 80% of the pics are F1 drivers with a weird expression
