Quote from Shotglass :Plus I´m somewhat miffed that the collision detection still hasn´t improved.

i think it has? ive not had any stupid crashes resulting in 500ft spins in the air?

Quote from JTbo :
But problem is not laptimes or such, problem is that you can't use full throttle almost at all on gravel surface.

but if the car is on gravel or any loose surface that should mean more wheel spin/less acceleration/less load on the clutch so why is it overheating?

Quote from BlueFlame :Well on a track you should be able to feel when you are on the limit, and not have to look at the speedo, i just don't understand the reasons to NEED a speedo, it HELPS when you are exiting a corner and you know you got more speed coming out, but you can just look at the split times. If you need to know your speed when you are hotlapping or racing, something has gone wrong. It's just not something you need, infact, alot of us here could go without a revometer aswell, and just by sound alone so the speedo argument is quite somewhat irrelevant.

A speedo on a race car is an EXTRA, it's not a necessity, so you will just have to deal with it I am afraid, if Scawen wanted to be 100% accurate, the GTR's wouldn't have speedo's. What would you say then?

again your missing the point of what im saying, if there is a speedo in the car you should be able to read it. atm that is not the case. knowing when your on the limit has nothing to do with knowing how fast you are going. if there is no speedo then i would'nt care but what is the point of a speedo if you cant read it?

Quote from BlueFlame :Well, no offense, but you obviously haven't had much experience of racing, ask Tristan, you could guess 60mph and it be 90mph, it depends how low to the ground you are as that feels faster, it depends on teh air tempereature, and alot of things, when you are hotlapping even at an Indoor kart arena, what you thought felt like your fastest lap, usually wasn't.. That's just how racing is, you can sometimes feel that a lap is much faster when it isn't. Ok, that's not feeling SPEED as you are mentioning, but you can easily see the comparison. As for feeling speed in general, you are looking at a digi speedo, you know exactly your speed, but when feeling it, you are only going to be able to determine if you are going slow, mediumly or really fast, and even then, it alternates between different people as to what THEY think is fast.

what was the point of that whole post? what ppl are saying is that they cant read the speedo in the car, so whats the point of a speedo if you cant read it? and what you posted before about analogue speedo's only giving a rough indication of speed in r/l does'nt count ethier this is not r/l and as such there is no reason why the analogue speedo's cant be 100% accurate is there. (oh and yes i do have track experience) not that it matters.

Quote from BlueFlame :the whole point of an analogue speedo is 'ballpark' you don't need the exact number,

no the whole point of an analogue speedo is to tell you how fast you are going. why not just get rid of it all together?

Quote from JTbo :Don't be so hostile to demo racers, they will one day be licensed racers if they just have possibility and need for it.

Also check country he is from and then do quick Google about economy, that can perhaps put things bit better perspective.

ok just for you anybody from one of JTbo's specialy selected "poor economy" countrys can have s2 for free. apply here www.ima-freeloader.com :P

Quote from BlueFlame :Nobody should care about the speedo, oh wait, Cruisers do. In racing, you only need to know what gear you should be in, and how much revs you are using, NOT speed.

no i use my speedo alot when racing, revs i can hear gears i can count but speed i need to read.

Quote from danowat :where?, where IRL can you change gear while keeping your foot flat on the throttle?.


well its easy go out in your car and do it now? i see race drivers do it all the time, aus V8 series do it

Quote from danowat :Why throw a hissy, just because something has changed that you don't like?

Instead of throwing your toys out of your pram, suck it in and use it as a challenge.

If not give up, and don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out............

dan i know what your saying, but i know your a biker (same as me) and as such you should know the proshift system that can be fitted top any road/race bike and that is a case of a button on your clip on that when you press the button will auto cut the engine and change gear without using the clutch, so i can see what bandit77 is saying, its harder yes is it more realistic... yes is it 100% realistic ..... no, but its better. I feel like players who dont have a g25 are being shafted.

1:04.65 Evo V RS
1:04.93 Evo VII RS
1:05.12 Sti Type RA Spec C (2001)
1:05.15 Evo VI RS
1:05.56 Sti Spec C (2003)
1:05.57 Sti (2003)
1:05.69 Evo VI GSR
1:05.72 Evo VI GSR TME
1:05.84 STi Spec C (2001)
1:05.93 Evo VII GSR
1:07.09 Evo V GSR


there would only be one subaru in there if it was'nt for the spec-c which is alittle unfair, i know spec-c's have been dyno'd at over 320bhp but i only see 280bhp jdm evo's in that list?
