so is the p&g mod stand alone or we need gtr2 first?

how big is the demo dl? might dust off the old ps3

True there is a risk attached but i doubt thats going to stop many people enjoying the experience of a lifetime. Think about it, do you ever consider not going by plane because it might crash.

Space is going commercial & space tourism is gaining momentum. I would hope that governments support pioneers such as Branson & Xcor. In 50 years time space tourism could be taking us to the moon & mars.

A moon base might be a logical step forward from the ISS. They can already make water from moon dust so a small settlement is not out of the question.

These people are also offering a similar experience for less than beardy Branson. I quite like their rocket ship .

Adding more than 3 cars to mixed class racing is being worked on as well.

:doh:
wth they dont even mention fixing the owning all content problem, then they go & invent another thing to work on which not only doesn't need doing, is the complete opposite of what they said they would do. Absolute bullsh1t!!

Could someone quote what Tony said in the "Please fix the multi-class issue" thread. He basically goes around saying what people want to hear just to keep everyone happy.

Tony G you stink more than muck on my fields.

Paul - Quite likeable.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Is the Skippy any better now or is it still a piece of shit?

It's not as fun any more but it drives more like the real thing. The NTM is half finished rubbish i cant believe they can release shit like that. Im so glad i haven't bought any of the new content.

iRacing 2.0 - ripping you off on an entirely different level.

how do i get in touch with his agent. i'd like the job of repairing a Mclaren F1 supercar

A person from Laos talking about somebody being 'bitches for X to abuse'? Seriously? :ices_rofl

Who is from Laos?

I recently visited Llandow & there is a great kart track there (1km long). Its not far from g-force & well worth a visit.

which kart track did you guys race at this year?

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Wait a minute.....are you saying that half your rants are based on petty and ill-informed opinions?






becasue I base all my rants on being petty and ill-informed

Hey mackie, f&ck you :finger:
this argument was 50/50 technically neither of us was right.

Quote from The Moose :

Indeed. But lets face it, Ant doesn't let facts get in the way of him having a good rant about iRacing.

I do enjoy a good rant but i think your both clutching at straws here.
(The facts/truth do matter, in fact thats what usually triggers half of my rants tbh. )

What's the difference between the two deals? Your gona spend the money on content anyway?
I looked at the old $30 content offer as a $70 membership. The new offer is a $75 membership. AKA they are lying to their customers.

I guess its open to interpretation, but you have to admit they do like to stretch the truth from time to time.

@ Jack, nothing wrong with Hiper psu's. They are good quality & reliable.
Luke if your looking to sell your e8400 i'd be interested.

Quote from AstroBoy :

Save $25 when you renew your iRacing membership for 1-year before July 31st. This is our best renewal price of the year so now is your chance to extend your membership in anticipation of the full iRacing 2.0 release scheduled for this August.

Just a reminder that this is actually a lie. IT IS NOT THE BEST RENEWAL PRICE OF THE YEAR. iR already gave us $30 off renewal price earlier this year. Bunch of idiots don't know their arse from their elbow. iRacing maybe on the verge of something big but jeez they're full oshit.

How about an MX5/MR2 or Punto GT? (budget options)
or Integra Type R if you wanna splash the cash.

Guess the track & corner?

Old news but:

Early on Wednesday 4th May 2011, in the skies above Mojave Air and Spaceport CA, SpaceShipTwo, the world’s first commercial spaceship, demonstrated its unique re-entry ‘feather’ configuration for the first time. This test flight, the third in less than two weeks, marks another major milestone on the path to powered test flights and commercial operations.
SpaceShipTwo (SS2), named VSS Enterprise, has now flown solo seven times since its public roll-out in December 2009 and since the completion of its ground and captive -carry test program.


This latest flight saw a 6:43AM (local) runway take off for VSS Enterprise, attached to its WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) carrier aircraft, VMS Eve. At the controls of the of the spaceship were Scaled Composites’ test pilots Pete Siebold and Clint Nichols whilst Mark Stucky, Brian Maisler and Brandon Inks crewed the purpose built, all composite, twin fuselage WK2.
After a 45 minute climb to the desired altitude of 51,500 feet, SS2 was released cleanly from VMS Eve and established a stable glide profile before deploying, for the first time, its re-entry or “feathered” configuration by rotating the tail section of the vehicle upwards to a 65 degree angle to the fuselage. It remained in this configuration with the vehicle’s body at a level pitch for approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds whilst descending, almost vertically, at around 15,500 feet per minute, slowed by the powerful shuttlecock-like drag created by the raised tail section. At around 33,500 feet the pilots reconfigured the spaceship to its normal glide mode and executed a smooth runway touch down, approximately 11 minutes and 5 seconds after its release from VMS Eve.


All objectives for the flight were met and detailed flight data is now being analysed by the engineers at Scaled Composites, designers and builders of Virgin Galactic’s sub-orbital spacecraft.
George Whitesides, CEO and President of Virgin Galactic, said: “This morning’s spectacular flight by VSS Enterprise was its third in 12 days, reinforcing the fast turnaround and frequent flight-rate potential of Virgin Galactic’s new vehicles. We have also shown this morning that the unique feathering re-entry mechanism, probably the single most important safety innovation within the whole system, works perfectly. This is yet another important milestone successfully passed for Virgin Galactic, and brings us ever closer to the start of commercial operations. Credit is due to the whole Scaled team, whose meticulous planning and great skill are changing the course of history.”


Pete Siebold, who along with Clint Nichols piloted the spaceship added:
“In all test flight programs, after the training, planning and rehearsing, there comes the moment when you have to go up there and fly it for real. This morning’s flight was a test pilot’s dream. The spaceship is a joy to fly and the feathered descent portion added a new, unusual but wonderful dynamic to the ride. The fact that it all went to plan, that there were no surprises and that we brought VSS Enterprise back to Mojave safe and sound is a great testament to the whole team.”
Wing Feathering for Re-Entry
Perhaps the most innovative safety feature employed by SpaceshipOne and now SpaceShipTwo is the unique way it returns into the dense atmosphere from the vacuum of space. This part of space flight has always been considered as one of the most technically challenging and dangerous and Burt Rutan was determined to find a failsafe solution which remained true to Scaled Composite’s philosophy of safety through simplicity. His inspiration for what is known as the feathered re-entry was the humble shuttlecock, which like SpaceShipTwo relies on aerodynamic design and laws of physics to control speed and attitude.
Once out of the atmosphere the entire tail structure of the spaceship can be rotated upwards to about 65º. The feathered configuration allows an automatic control of attitude with the fuselage parallel to the horizon. This creates very high drag as the spacecraft descends through the upper regions of the atmosphere. The feather configuration is also highly stable, effectively giving the pilot a hands-free re-entry capability, something that has not been possible on spacecraft before, without resorting to computer controlled fly-by-wire systems. The combination of high drag and low weight (due to the very light materials used to construct the vehicle) mean that the skin temperature during re-entry stays very low compared to previous manned spacecraft and thermal protection systems such as heat shields or tiles are not needed. During a full sub-orbital spaceflight, at around 70,000ft following re-entry, the feather lowers to its original configuration and the spaceship becomes a glider for the flight back to the spaceport runway.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I think he wanted to point out that Oulton Park still hasn't been released, despite being announced more than 2 years ago.

That is disappointing for sure. Coupled with wasting there time on gimmicks like driver aids & racing line, iRacing is taking to long to improve the core sim.
They make a big thing over NTM but most people forget that only one man was working on it out of the 30 strong team (+ beta testers).
So the question has to be asked what the heck do the rest of them do?

They must have a list of improvements as long as my arm but all we get build after build is tiny little things here & there. To claim that driver swaps was a big complicated project was an absolute joke & that wasted time & money in Brazil shows how organised they are.

me no understand ?

price reduced - open to sensible offers. thx

Quote from himself :

LMP2+GT1+GT2 resembles ALMS series or any Le Mans series for that matter. What's wrong with that?

It will cost an extra $36 just to race in it. Thats whats wrong.
Lets say you only like the LMP2 & you want to race it, well you cant unless you buy all the other cars in the class.

Quote from StableX :

The shit part to me is that they did say, when bringing out the Multiclass, that having to purchase all the content was temporary and this would be changed. I guess not any more

Can you remember where they said that? I'd love to quote that back at them & watch them squirm. The multi-class thing better be temporary or else.
