OMG, rofl thats brilliant.

Yeah I have to say.. I'm very happy that I bought this game.

Firstly I have had no issues with the game at all, and to all those people calling this game crap I have to say, it isn't from my point of view.

When I saw all the preview videos I thought that the motion blur was abit excessive, but thinking about it while driving around a clear track it's actually quite ok. It gives you a chance to focus on the track rather than paying attention to the dials *Not that you really need to*.

Out of all the NFS games this is now my fave, the graphics are really amazing and it seems to run really smoothly on most pc's * Myn isn't quite upto data, CPU is abit old*.

As for the sim part of the game, it is a bit yes and no. For now i've set the wheel up for 360' turning and iam using the same force settings in the logitech profiler as I would in lfs. Ok the steering is a tad slow and there is not much movement going on infront of you. With the pedals I have a mixed feeling, I think I will need more time with the game to find out the true feelings but for now they seem ok. And I will say it feels better than grid.

But my story so far, I have started with the ae86 and it does sound close to the real thing, and after thrashing it around the Nordschleife I found that the car is great fun.

Here are some pics

Ok, first I will say thanks for the NDR team for a smooth running race

Wow really my first oval event or even my first time on oval maybe since the early FM days. I didnt expect to get anywhere near the top 5, but to hit joint 1st best time with Reno I was shocked. I knew I could do near a 45.89 but Reno was much faster in practice before the quali.

To lead the grid on the a rolling start I was thinking what the hell do I do haha. I was thrown off with Deko talking in my ear of when to hit the pedal and go on the restart. Once we got going it was all ok, I think my only wish was how to pit and when to pit on the oval events. Well to be honest it wasn't so bad once we had that nasty yellow, but I was praying for one after I fell back.

But to end on that yellow rolling along in 5th was great, I felt for sure that I would be 12th on the finish line, at a bit of a cost with reintjan being taken out. But to see Sokke come in on 2nd was a great, and I think as a team we did well.

Can't wait for the next event

I get that much, I just don't know what the hell to change in NKP LFS I'd just knock ride height up a few notches.

It's confusing!

I do agree its a bit hard to work out what is what in Nkp, im glad lfs' garage is the way it is now

But I will also give donington a go tomorrow to find out this bottoming out stuff. Where abouts is it happening?

Quote from The Moose :

- Fixed "sticky" walls (ex. Newbury last corner)

I'm glad that was posted and fixed, I had that nasty wall grab me and wouldnt let me go haha. But seriously my 500's rear was stuck in the air, couldnt move, thus ended my race lol

Also for Deko. Sure I dont mind, erm everyone could PM me with their names I could run up some sort of exel sheet, simple really. It just relys on other people doing it.
As for server, our CR|Troy had one up and running a couple of days ago. And we had some good runs around Adelaide with some random people * I think may have been from lfs *.

And since half of CR have the game I think its more than likely we could have a server soon, tho im not really sure.

Quote from DeKo :

Real names in NK are a pain in the arse, hardly recognise anyone

I was thinking maybe we should have people post and make a list so we know who is who and also get a server :P

This may be a stupid question, but I want to make sure im not the only one And im sure im not.

But with the server list I take it everyone sees the pings of the servers being about 1000+ at most times?

I love the close ratio box The drag race off the grid is classic, all you hear is Baa baa baa baa as everyone bounces the redline. Just be sure to smash 2nd and 3rd quickly

I hope to see some good races tonight, still find im being hit off because of some sleepy driver that cant find the brakes.

Quote from keiran :

Loving the little 500!! So much better for racing online, can get away with some contact. Although is it just me or are the collisions a bit strange? I hit a few people in front when graphically my car wasn't touching them. Also having a problem with my momo wheel, I can't use the paddles because if I downshift it turns the ignition off... so had to resort to buttons on the wheel.

Tyre squeal is nice, but is way over the top. I'm struggling to know when I'm locking brakes.

Seems my sim racing driver gets just as fed up waiting for the race start

Ah ha so you were K Smart Yeah I have to say you can get away with some contact *some*, there is an issue of knowing where the front of the car really is. But so far i've been really close with some drivers, I think it does depend on the connections.

As for wheel locking i've dropped the brake settings down alot, and wont use more that half way on the pedal in braking. The car slows down easily its just the fwd grip thats lacking :P

Quote from The Moose :

Your driver and license folders now have to be copied to the netkar folder in 'my documents'

I'm having a few issues... the worst of which is the sim crashing when i try and join a server grrrrr. Waiting for a quick fix.

Same for me, I was wondering about the license stuff.

Should I delete the old beta?

EDIT: ok I think ive done everything correctly. But still have the server issue

Here are Concept Racing's Skins - Cars #10 #32 #13 #15

Hope everything is in order

Ok cheers Moose. I think I may steer clear of the drivingitalia servers for awhile If you could get another event hosted with your team that would be sweet.

Damn and blast to the update coming on Saturday, I've been living for the Friday all week lol.

For Carey. Well there is an option in the garage to allow clutch, and ofc to make sure you have it detected by the game. But as far as I know even with the clutch down and in gear while on the grid, you may find the car roll abit. At least i've had it plenty of times.

This is starting to drain me...

Over the past few days i've been in plenty of races where some drivers seem to think they can just dive down the inside of even out brake the car infront. In result i've been smashed off a number of times, ofc leaving the car destroyed.

Now with the Fiat 500 coming I can only see this happening more often because its a tintop. I will just pray that they have updated the collision detection more.

But I take it the DrivingItalia.net servers are always messy?? Or is it just me?

Also 5haz, is your driver name J.Shaw? I think I saw you on a server with the F1600.

On another note. Everytime I go into a server I always find my wheel isn't centered correctly. After leaving and setting up the wheel again its ok. Is this happing for anyone else??

Quote from logitekg25 :

thankyou now just waiting for the page to load

EDIT: how much does that kit (if i read right :shrug cost? does it come with the gfx card too? i think my graphics card that is coming will have it

What graphics card did you buy?

But it also depends on what you mean by kit? Since the only thing you get with a graphics card deal is the simple red and blue 3D glasses.

The real cinema 3D kit is about $500 since you need a monitor that displays the correct stuff that works with the real plastic glasses.
