The FZ5 still doesn´t handle anything like a Porsche/Ferrari ! It drives like a pig. I would say the handling comes close to let´s say a Mercedes CLS 350/500, okay maybe not that bad . A Porsche 911 sticks to the road like glue feels very light weight with direct steering and throttle responses.

and yeah ive driven them IRL

The tires are improved but still ...
you can brake down from 240 kmh to 120 kmh like nothing and pull of the craziest drifts without any effort and lose grip at pretty low speeds. Drifting is even more easy than before the patch ! Try this stuff IRL lol

:wtf2: Add Hungarian cities! :ambulance

If i were you i would check if its for german citizens only (i did not found any info). If not get a cheap flight ticket and go for qualify ! I mean you have a good chance of winning a BMW M6 !!!

otherwise plan B :

If you go for Munich or Nürnberg just grow a mustache and hide behind a big glas of wheat beer. Greet everyone with "Servus !" like at home. Nobody will notice anything, promised !

rofl. dont ya love it when people make completely wrong statements that could have been prevented by a 30 second search

yeah COMPLETELY wrong uh oh im scared

its not my fault that the english language is so unprecise ... so show me how YOU can buy a F1 car

The old blackwood forest guru once said ...

Quote from tristancliffe :

No you don't really - plenty better cars in the world other than ugly tasteless repmobiles from Germany.

Yeah let´s add some true british cars like the Mini ... uh oh err ...

If you don´t like the looks then maybe you should try to drive the 'Beste Marke der Welt'

Quote from KaverL :

Give me a 130i and im happy

Great car !

Quote from csimpok :

Great news that we have F1 car

Although I have a little fear that maybe the sponsors want the game to be playable for a bigger audience therefore Scavier make the game a bit arcadish so that everyone can handle the new car

I hope its not the case, and they have a contract with the passage that nobody has voice in the development of the sim.

Last time i checked you could NOT buy F1 cars so i guess they don´t need to make it handle more easier so more people buy it.

Frankly i don´t think they care too much either way. They have the car in the game that´s good PR and that´s it.

Great move by BMW. BMW 1er @ GT4 Nordschleife was cool too !

Quote from MadCatX :

LFS, GPL, GTR.... or F1 Challenge... every game I have named you can mod to add a F1 BMW car. Again, just a funny theory...

Plus these other sims DO have real F1 tracks to race on ...

I don´t get why everybody is sooo hyped up ok it´s cool to have a F1 car but that does not make a complete F1 simulation and we already have 2 other single seaters ...

I´m REALLY looking forward to the patch but that´s because of the new tire physics which is known and all this other hype and speculation does not interest me at all.

I want the M6 nonetheless

Quote from Misko :

How about this: "who needs a minute in blackwood?" means that with new tyre and aero physics fixes lap times will be slower and we will NEVER go under a minute in Blackwood?

How about this : Remove T1 chicane and enlighten yourself with some neons and kill the guru in under one minute illepall

That makes as much sense as any of the other posts.

Quote from colcob :

I love the principle of ASS and the fact that people invest time in producing it, but I really wish the writing was better, and shorter. Downside of PDF over print is that people waffle on for pages and pages about nothing and no-one ever seems to edit it.

I feel the same way but thought it might be because im not a native speaker.

Shorter and a bit more to the point would be nice

Its a great mag again just some positive constructive criticism.

There is a remote chance I might date a normal guy I first meat in LFS

First meat ? Freudian slip ?

I know a girl who likes cars and drives fast ... she´s cool but damn i couldn´t convince her to race LFS ... yet :jedi:

I think i should become a chef. No really i could virtually taste how it would taste together. i need to try this in real life yummy

normal chocolate is great for chilli con carne btw

Quote from tristancliffe :

This is a great monitor, and I think I'm gonna get it soon (unless something better for the money comes out). Not sure of availability in Austria, but do some digging.

Samsung 930BF SyncMaster 19&q ... 4ms DVI 700:1 (1280x1024)

Samsung 940 BF is even better or check out the ViewSonic VX 922 its the fastest at the moment i think.

However the really fast TFTs always use the TN Panel type which does only display 16,2 million colours instead of 16,7. It´s okay for gaming though.

If you look at it CRT is still the best expect you want a really big display like 24" or 32".

Thanks !

Other question :

What steering ratio do caterhams have ? The wheels turn very fast ! Could be interesting to know the real value for the DFP

Quote from Quanto Solo :

Both my car and my bike want that expensive 98 octane stuff, at hot summers the car wants even the really costy rather new 100 octane fuel but I guess a check of the ignition could solve at least this. So it's at moment 1.31 Euro/litre, and about 90 cent of it are taxes.
The worst of it, even with these prices driving the 650 km to my parents alone with car is still cheaper than taking the train. Flying would be cheaper than car but there's the problem to get to and away from the airport because with train the costs for that would even it out again. Something is going wrong here. illepall

Yeah public transport is really expensive ! Let alone for city subway/bus i pay nearly 1.000 € a year illepall

Quote from MrGrumpy :

Saab don't seem to believe this rumour either

9-3 Aero 2.8T V6 250 bhp
9-5 Aero 2.3 HOT 260 bhp

Both FWD!

Volvo got some cars with similar specs and yes its very easy to get wheel spin in 2nd and even 3rd gear

Quote from bbman :

I think this is a fairy tale... I raced much in LfS the last weak and when today I drove my car (which has no power steering), I was really surprised the wheel turned that light... Of course, downforced and broad-tired racing car can have a different feeling, I have no experiences to be able to tell...

Ha Ha then try our B3 VW Passat. The steering is so heavy its not normal. I went karting and after that i started to go to the gym. Karting is cool now but the Passat still is heavy ! Especially when parking.

Did you try 200% in windows plus 200% in LFS maybe or windows still 100% ?

Quote from Psycho Evangelion :

this wouldn't happen to work in S2 would it?

Actually it does ! I used outsim and it hasn´t changed since then.

Quote from mrodgers :

I was thinking the exact same thing. I know some who says their FS2004 folders were 20 or 30 Gb's. Mine was up to 5 or 6 until I got the new computer. Haven't done anything other than standard install of FS2004 yet.

My FS2004 had its own 30 GB partition and maybe 3 or 4 GB unused. I downloaded a lot over the years ... The terra mesh files were really big and the addon aircrafts too.

Now it´s back to 7,8 GB since i reinstalled like 2 months ago and there´s not much really.

My LFS folder is 358 MB - cute

Dude i don´t want to know how big your FS2004 would be ...

That´s insane

I did this ... almost 2 years ago now :

S2000 Is the closest and latest 'mans' car they have I guess

The teckel looks really happy. I bet nobody told him this is not exactly the safest place in the car illepall

Oh and the new civic ... to each his own ha ha

Quote from deggis :

Is it a selective conscription in Germany? In here over 80% of men to goes to army. The other 20% either goes to 1 year long non-military service, gets released from the service or goes to jail. Altough I've already done my "duty" this really stinks. We don't really need this in year 2006. Cold War is over.

Back in 1999 it was more or less universal conscription. Everyone had to go but you could also choose the non-military service or being chased by the Feldjäger (our MP)

I think the situation now is that maybe 50% have to go but you have to ask the younger guys here.

Quote from deggis :

I voted "Retired". But not really retired as I've only served in the military (last spring) because in Finland we have this "great" thing called compulsory military service. Also known as the free 6/12 month fitness vacation sponsored by the defence forces. I was a anti-tank soldier.

"TJ0"

We also have this... A friend from high school was tank driver.
