is it actually legal in norway to have the numberplate mounted like it is on that nsx?

No. But shhhhhh

Really looking for any excuse to buy one at this point, but my damn Celica just won't die.

Send it over, I'll make it die for ya! :-)

If I could I'd be driving it much more. Family and work is taking too much time. But in a few weeks there's a two week roadtrip to the alps with some mates. Planning around 7000km and a day at the Ring. :-)

I've put 14.000km on the car in less than 14 months.

It's my daily driver, my track car and my roadtrip cruiser, and I love it equally for all it's roles! When the roads get twisty the stupid grin just get that much wider.
No faults yet, just a brake squeal that was fixed under warranty.
Upcoming sunday will be my first trackday with track-worthy rubber (Toyo R888), so that'll be a cool experience.
I've only got one speeding ticket, and haven't crashed it yet. The car is so much fun to toss around, I'm surprised I haven't been arrested or worse.... :-p

I'm taking my GT86 there in a few weeks. This makes me happy to hear! :-)

Quote from BlueFlame :

but on GT5 even with a wheel you can't feel shit.

Then I think you may be doing it wrong... I have no problem detecting slip in GT5. I haven't tried Forza yes at M$ don't think Logitech wheels should work on the Xbox.

All the TBOs could Use an econoversion, imo. So we'd have a econo and hot version of all the cars.

Yeah, a correct FOV often reveal shortcomings in your display setup....

It's wrong, but that's all right. As long as you enjoy it.

i put it on 75 and i sit about 18" away from the screen.

Correct FOV for you would be around 66 degrees.

With a single small-ish screen at a "normal" distance it's gonna feel like binocular vision, especially in the beginning. But once you get used to it, there's no way you're going back!

iRacing got that part absolutely right. Just enter your measurements and POW, correct FOV. That will reveal shortcomings in your setup though....

Makes it immensely much easier to judge corners, though...

Quote from Keling :

It's not about the buttons. The model is terrible. The mesh density is extremely uneven and in some parts it's slightly better than Quake. Ironically most of those Quake-like areas are perfectly round and very easy to sculpture. This is (supposedly) a DX11 title shown off in 2013 by a pretty experienced dev team. What's happening?

I'd sincerely like it if you could point out the flaws in the model, as I can't see them.

Because more saturation is ALWAYS better? :-p Never mind enthusiasts, consumers want MORE of everything. Everything louder than everything else!

*sigh*

Filmed off a screen? Looks that way...

Quote from Matrixi :

The cockpit shake totally killed the view for me, it was unplayable when driving over 60km/h.

This. I love the cockpit view, but the shake makes me go to bumpercam instead.

Doesn't it bother you at all that a double amputee left unattended for several minutes was coherent and awake when they finally wheeled him off with a "tourniquet" loosely draped over his legs? And even then he didn't bleed at all.

Well, they've only had 23 years to investigate, such things take time, you know....

I know a little about Gladio. Think I might need to look a little deeper.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Jeff Bauman is a friend of a friend and I can assure you he was not an amputee before the bombs went off.

Did he ever get an explanation as to why he didn't bleed out? I mean, other than "You were very lucky, son".

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Probably makes no sense cause none of us is an ER worker or a surgeon.

I've shown the pictures to a Afghanistan medic vet. He's told me some pretty graphic stuff about blown off limbs and stuff. He told me that a double amputation like that need IMMEDIATE attention. You will bleed out in less than a minute.

Now, do an experiment: Take a bucket, fill it with 4-5 liters of water and pour it over the pavement.

Also, with such severe bloodloss your skin would be deathly pale and your lips blue. You would also be in shock and passed out. The chap in the wheelchair looks a little confused, but very much alert and rosy in the cheeks. NOT a guy that has spent at least 2,5 minutes, possibly up to 6 minutes bleeding through an untreated double arterial wound.

I'd like to hear a surgeoun or experienced medic explain to me what happened here. Divine intervention?

How does a man with both legs blown off even survive several minutes without medical attention? I'd think two severed arteries would allow the man to bleed dry in a very short time, yet he seems pretty lively in that wheelchair, even then with no medical treatment and no loss of blood.

Just bought one of those awesome wooden cube clocks. Hope they are at least half as cool s they look in pictures! :-D

I use BlackVue HD2 in my GT86. Literally invisible behind the rearview mirror and great quality video and gps/g-meter.

I'm liking it so far. Wish the FF was a little more lively, but I can live with that.

All that data, and it looks utterly crap compared to any decent FSX scenery...
