Quote from BAMBO :

First of all it's a Hummer, a Cadillac and a GAZ Volga, i don't care in what they got stuck, it doesn't respect rule three so please remove it.

You may want to rethink that. Volga is a sedan.

The modern Russian saying goes something like: "The cooler is your SUV, the farther you'll run to get a tractor".

Speaking of Russian stuff:

Analogue of Humvee, with an American turbodiesel IIRC.

+1. Excellent idea.

Here is a picture. I wanted to complain about the same thing. There is no way to get back on track, you have to go to the pits if this happens.

I thought I put this one out before it gets mouldy on my harddrive

Cool

Quote from BlueFlame :

Except brutally honestly, his grandparents are from Grenada, so technically......

"British" signifies citizenship, not ethnicity, and does not necessarily mean Anglo-Saxon. He has the citizenship => he is British (in this case, of Grenada descent).

EDIT:
On topic, great drive from Lew1s in the UK Grand Prix. And I'm not a fan.

'08 Raceabout.

There is a '08 version? I thought it was '02 and '05 (or '06). Does the latest one have the rear anti-roll bar?

Thank you devs! The new XRR is really nice.

No cars have handbrakes modelled. Since the interiors are being updated, maybe it's possible to add them?

I bet the driver is loving it.

I figured the offtopic forum is the best place for it.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Let's just call him Hamilton.

Hahamilton, analogous with Alolnso. Also, Raikekekenen.

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody involved with the pack. My LFS got borked so I had to reinstall it, and I decided to try out the hi-res textures . I am glad I did the game looks really good now.

Quote from AndroidXP :

- I would pay for them, but
- It wouldn't be terribly important to have them now, and
- More fantasy tracks with maybe a bit more attention to a characteristic, bumpy surface would be fine too

+1. Make existing track surfaces higher-res (the little bump at the last turn of Aston Cadet is the best feature of the track next to the corkscrew, especially in an MRT).

However, the fact that the devs have been offered a laser-scanned real track for free and turned it down is really sad.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I just had a better look myself. The in-game looks like it's got a higher camera, but if you compare the trackside objects it's actually the real-life shot that has the higher camera. And if you try to match any of the curves from one to the other it just doesn't work at all.

Maybe it's just from a weird angle - hard to tell with those crazy slopes going on - but you're right it doesn't looks very accurate!

The trees/etc. may not be EXACTLY to scale. In-game camera may have a different FOV than IRL camera, so trackside objects close to the edges of the shot will look different. I wouldn't draw any conclusions from the discrepancies in these shots.

Quote from A.Ulleri :

Of course they would. People will always fine something to complain about.

I have a feeling that many folks think Solstice is "boring" because it's American. However, according to this video, the platform is really not bad--the only complaint Tsuchiya had was overly long gears, which as I understand is fixable as soon as your safety rating is a bit up.

Quote from A.Ulleri :

Solstice sucks...

Just curious, if they had the Miata instead of the Solstice, would people complain?

[sarcasm] This is how sarcasm should be handled over internet. [/sarcasm]

Quote from dontsimon :

Can you see anything positive at all about iRacing?

I have to side with Shotglass on this issue. I was hoping for a very impressive damage model, and we got the same ersatz as in other sims. At the same time, stupid GRID has body panels flying off, etc (not saying it's realistic, but a damage model with a proper visual manifestaion is long overdue in sims).

Quote from three_jump :

you're right. iRacing has no demo...

That's a big issue that I am very unhappy about. Totally unrelated to content argument though.

Quote from bbman :

3 cars, one track against 2 cars and (really) two tracks... I can see where I bullshit everyone about the joys that are iRacing, yes...

The standard subscription is 2 cars, 4 ovals and 4 road courses, the rest you have to buy later. I don't see how it's the same amount of content as LFS demo.

Quote from bbman :

So? Did you fail to make a point or do you just write what goes through your head?

The point you made about iRacing's content is bullshit. So was your "comeback", btw--neither sharp nor humorous. I hope this post is clearer than the previous one.

Quote from bbman :

So contentwise, iRacing is equivalent to the LfS Demo (supposedly with better physics)

Last time I checked, LFS demo didn't have Laguna Seca.
