Me, the wife, my 9-year old boy, and my brother-in-law with his 8-yo. We're driving in from just outside Disney, so hope to get there fairly early.

Well, got seats on row 36 in turn 1, from the 3d representation on the website we are supposed tp be able to se the pitlane more or less head on. Should be good.

My first time in the states, taking the kids to Disney, and just happened to notice the date of the Daytona 500 and thought "what the hell". Not really that interested in NASCAR, but any raceday atmosphere is great in my eyes.

It's also one of the great races of the calendar, and it's probably the one chance I'll have to go there. Not a big fan of NASCAR, but a race is a race. Would be a pity to have it ruined by crap seats.

Looking at seats high up on the back straight, they are cheap and nice view, but no view into pit lane. Should be all right, you'll see better on the big screens anyway.

Going to the race, about to order tickets. Any tips on where NOT to sit?

Hated the Skippy on NTM. Used to love the car to bits. Then I lowered the front tirepressures from default and it clicked into place. Suddenly felt like 'my' Skippy again, only alot better!

News says he was shooting more or less continuously for over 45 minutes. What kind of rifle can take that abuse? Unless there were more guns on Utøya.

We here in Norway feel a bit strange now. A friend of mine called it 'a rape', which is kind of fitting, I think.

I think hell just froze over, actually.

Sloshing in Sognefjorden, virtually on the opposite end of the earth. Seismologists assume this is forces from the 9.0 creating some resonance in the fjord.

train transporting Coal to powerplant. Pretty much the best combo, if you get a little distance and an effective track.

The new rail options are great! I love making complex and efficient intersections and stations. Nothing like a 10 track station, og a properly executed 4-track intersection!

The brake is practically digital, at least it was in the demo. From what I've read it hasn't been fixed.

Silver, if the Beta is anything to go by, I'd rather reinstall TDU tbh.

The brake issue is the dealbreaker for me. When cruising becomes a nuisance, then a game like TDU is meaningless to me.

I'm not buying it for €50 when the US guys get it for $40. No way.

Steam, get your s**t straight.

Ok. We never got to try Hawaii in the beta. I might actually get the game now. Ibiza was crap, tbh... Some of the villages were cool, though....

I don't think TVE has ever been that close to a female, let alone two at the same time, so I call fake!

Dunno, we never got to try Oahu. They say they fixed it to match Ibiza, but if that means they use the same textures or they updated the roads and scenery I don't know.

Anyone got a copy of the release notes? The iRacing site is down.

I din't care anymore. The Beta ended, teh game is gone gold. Didn't even get a 'thank you' and the game pretty much sucks. I may get it if they fixed Oahu to the Ibiza standard, but not if they didn't. Ibiza is just too small to hold interest. You cross the island in a few minutes. Oahu you can drive for hours, just exploring. Ibiza is fully exlored in an hour, unless you drive the speed limits.

Which beta did you try, Luke.S? I was in till the end and it pretty much sucked all the way. They fixed most of the crashes though.

I haven't got any notice that the NDA is lifted, so I guess it's still in effect. Probably will be until releaseday.

Well, if the state of the latest beta was anything to go by then I won't get it.
I don't even know why they bothered with betatesters, to be honest...

"Back up, dude!"
"No, YOU back up!"
"no, YOU back up!"
"Dude, back up!"
"No, dude, YOU back up!"

If your emails are written this way I can see why they are ignored, to be honest....

Does anyone know this? I'm looking into getting TH2G as SoftTH is too slow for iRacing where it needs to copy the memory. But I am extremely attached to triple monitors with the ability to maximize on each screen, and would be quite upset if I paid $300 and could no longer do so.

Yes, you can. The Matrox software takes care of this. The occational program may not respond to that, but that's a rare exception.

I've been (and still am) in the process of looking around here - but is there a good review on TH2G, pros and cons?

I don't have a review as such, but I can not go back to single screen for racing again.

Also, it's absolutely no issue doing single screen for desktop and triple for gaming or work. You have hotkeys to switch between setups, and it's hassle-free to do so. If you have single screen for desktop and start a game that you have set triple screen, the side monitors will come on and stuff just works. It's great!

I use 3x 24" widescreen monitors. I would recommend getting 16:10 monitors, the max resolution is 5040x1050, which is better suited for 16:10 monitors.

Yes please.

I didn't have any of the cars you listed in my garage, though.

Yeah. I'm all for variety, but not unlimited choice.

I'd love to have the option to have only stock cars too. Not just tuned to within spec, but untouched from new.
