There are two different skip series IRL. One is run on slicks so it may be that the vid is of that one. Your observations however are correct, racing the skip quickly is a drift fest & tho not realistic it is a lot of fun.
DK has been working on his new tyre model almost as long as Scawen if not longer, so when it comes it will be good.

minjrack if you havent tried the skip yet your missing one of the best cars in iRacing.

ok so where was the announcement?

This is the 2nd time they have done this that we are aware of. What is the devs problem?
They host promotional events yet dont tell anybody??? This is downright rude & .. to the community. Why is this some sort of secret??

A promotion is a promotion you spread the word get the product out there everyones a winner. I really do not understand them at all?? Two members of my family have thier cars insured with Adrian Flux & we live about 70 minutes from the track. I am sure that there are many LFS S2 racers who live a lot nearer.

Why the heck is this kept a secret?

there is something seriously wrong with your pc doodle
post your specs

looks like they leave the ticket machine on 24/7. Its glowing in the dark like an alien spaceship. Waste of electricity if you ask me.

Thanks for the feedback. I was recomeneded Black Shark but im not into flight sims enough to blow $40 on it.
So you are saying Falcon is good but for dogfighting Lockon FC2 is a better bet?

Any one got this flight sim? How does it compare to Lock on FC2?
Is there something better than both of these?

The killing in Mexico is getting way out of hand someone needs to step in & do something.

Quote from dadge :

if you report something and the mods don't think it was a reportable offense, then they will do nothing about the matter. that doesn't mean they have not looked at the report. it just means you need to pick better posts to report.

yeah keep walking that tightrope, dadge

On the subject of flights sims. Can somebody recommend one for me.
I'm not really looking for uber realistic, i still havent got into IL2.
I used to enjoy flying the choppers in BFV & BF2 so are there any sims set in a similar environment but with a bit more detail put into the air combat.

I'm looking for something thats fun online & also has a mission based single player in a Black Hawk down kind of setting or Vietnam jungle.
I've read that some guys are creating a BFV mod for BF2 which is the best news i heard since iRacing announced the mx5 .

Extract from the forum:

I can tell you that active membership continues to grow at a nice pace. We're in striking distance of breakeven. For a project of this scope, that is certainly a big milestone to reach.

iRacing is getting a lot of things right. And there is still a ton to do.

So in Canada you have large marijana plantations kind of like "the beach" except yours are guarded by Bears instead of armed henchmen??
Interesting, can you keep a black bear as a pet?

John Henry has confirmed that iRacing will break even very soon.
Concidering they only opened thier doors 2008 looks like success.
Hopefuly it will become more affordable once they are in the green.

Not as bad as VIR south, but still impossible to race. good luck!
I bet steve myers isn't racing the V8 this season.

Quote from ATiRAGEPRO :

OK, the reason that I said that is because I really hope there isn't some trial period forced on demo users in the future, because that will just put the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. LFS community over here.

The biggest nail in the coffin for LFS in the states is your home grown iRacing & to a larger extent Rfactor. The amount of people over there that have never seen or heard of LFS amazes me, its almost as if it does not exist.

They might benefit from selling boxed copies but LFS is such a niche market everything else on the shelf is gona look more impressive. Saying that, they could go in at a much lower price point such as a boxed copy of S1. Another big selling point is that its an old engine that still runs on much older systems so they can appeal to a much wider (low spec) audience.

As for the restriction issue i would be in favour of all demo accounts being cancelled automoticaly after 12months. It's a tough call & you could argue what harm are they doing? If they play it a lot then they are only restricting themselfs from enjoying the full game.

Those that hack/crack the full content should all be sent NASTY viruses.

monza yawn, mugello ftw!

Im currently choosing between a 250 GTS & 5750.
Now the 5750 beats the 250 in most games & is a better card imo.

But, & this is a big but, is it worth £20-25 more than the 250?

same as that but no shifter & comes new in box.

Thanks for the advice guys, i was looking for something to do a few liesure rides on. maybe trying a competition if i get motivated enough to get bike fit.

Definately looking at used stuff. only issue is, im taller than average so every time i see one i like its usualy the wrong size. sods law.

you might be able to get a DFGT for that if your lucky.

If my memory serves me correctly TOCA Race Driver 3 was one of the better driving games on PS2, also look at Colin Mcrae Rally 4.

yep its brand new, 360degs, yes if you can plug it into your pc.
Sunday yes, after that im not sure
you will need a small adapter ps2>usb. cheap as chips off ebay
