Quote from Furiously-Fast :

You don't even see GRID with tyre texture marks on the tarmac dude. Just grey lines.

Well, that's because that's how they look like... I've never seen a profile in a skidmark anywhere, because as the name hints the tyre is skidding...

Bernie is a jay ee dubble-u what do you expect.

Falling back to antisemitic comments, thank you for reminding everyone why we don't like you...

I want a download of the qual-stream! Mustangs were epic - never knew they could hold their own against winged GTRs...

Why would a racing team not fit their exhausts properly? It would vibrate yes, since that is what makes the great sound of a racing car, but you'd never actually see that...

Quote from Intrepid :

There is nothing better for my preparations at the moment - in terms of steering wheel forces for example Karting is even more difficult than Formula 1.[...]

7x F1 WDC confirming what us sensible folk have been saying for a long time

What? That a non-aided steering is harder than a power steering-aided one? I could have told you that one without winning anything in F1...

The rules state that only 4 drivers may participate in the event, nothing about nominating reverses though...

Quote from logitekg25 :

EDIT: but if i say my wheel only turns 720, will that do the trick?

Yes, if you have 720° both in the Profiler and ingame, you will get the FFB-stops at 720°... That'll only help you in the road cars though, the faster machines have less lock and the FFB stop will still be at 720°...

"Help" is maybe exaggerated - I have yet to hit full lock (and thus the stops) when everything didn't went all messy moments before...

Well how much of a surprise is that to anyone?

With him still only getting 15th place in qual while Alonso snatches pole and now all the mud-slinging afterwards it was obvious - I'm actually surprised it took a whole week...

I *think* he refers to still being slower than the Peugeots over a lap of Le Mans and their new problem of sucking up dirt that clogs up the radiators...

Quote from Myw :

They always seem to be braking earlier than me and still going into the corners perfectly. I watch their replays and try to take the same line which results in massive understeer for me.

This could hint to a potential problem: Maybe you're asking too much of your tyres... Try braking earlier, steer gentlier and probably a bit less too...

Anyway, it's always better to start slow and gradually get faster (you will even if you're not trying to, I promise) than wanting too much too early and then wondering in your destroyed car what the hell went wrong... Jackie Steward's advice is bang on: treat the car like a vicious dog - make a sudden move and it'll bite you...

It came up once or twice already, but no biggie - it's not as if the game was is or will be leaving its mark in the sim genre imo...

Last time I tried it half a year ago, I got lift-off oversteer in the Cayman - and as it turned out, it was the only way to corner with that thing... Driving was quite painful - I basically got a slideshow of me driving and my rig is no slouch...

To top it all off, I really can't take a self-proclaimed sim seriously that has dedicated physics-files for racing, drifting and off-roading...

Air has never been good in transporting data and never will be, but like for so many other things marketing went into overdrive and lazy bastards people generally are chose comfort over quality...

Quote from 91mason91 :

My Graphics card is very up to date and i can run high fps on crysis maxed out thank you very much

Thing is fanboy, i didnt buy my G25 when it first came out for a reason - the price, so the plan was i was gonna wait till either the price dropped or someone put it on ebay for like 130 quid.

Right, so you easily justify spending double the money on another part that has half the lifespan (if even that), good logic!

But calling me fanboy is hilariously entertaining, thank you for that...

Quote from niels1 :

date of posting, date of Q.

At least 5 hours between them for the second (merged) thread...

How about just visiting www.911wheel.de?

Quote from 91mason91 :

Tbh the fannyteck wheel is too over priced. I mean the G25 that i got was a stretch for a gaming wheel.. infact, its more expensive than my phone :S

It costs the same as what the G25 started with, and I expect the G27 (if it's even true) to be around the same mark, so I don't see your point...

Come back when you buy a new graphics card...

Quote from Becky Rose :

The point I was making is that the BBC is for all intents and purposes a public sector company, whereas the German system collects licence fees but as I understand it distribute the funds to various private sector companies for making public service broadcasts. It's a very different system. Lots of countries have mechanisms in place for state television services, but the BBC is quite unique in the way that it is structured because it is not a private sector company at all.

I don't have a deeper understanding of the german system, but looking at the legal notes of their websites, I can't find a private sector company among them...

And now I'll throw in the ORF for good measure, also not a private sector company... It might have private sector subsidiaries, but the main organisation that does the TV is publicly (read: governmentally) owned...

Yeah, very competitive already... If you can do that time consistently over 20 minutes, you're already at a winning pace...

Quote from AndRand :

I was always wondering how LFS simulates cooling from the outside becasue I always had the feeleing that tires once hot cant be cooled down driving competetive - I would have to go 5s a lap slower to get them cooled down for3 laps at least. So I have a feeling that cooling down with speed should work better.

There is a cooling from the outside as well, you can see this very well if you set the wind to orcan-like, but I agree the temperature model is grossly flawed - there should be much more fluctuation than there is currently, not just faster cooling...

Quote from unseen :

..apart from maybe gtr2, that had live track/marbles for ages :P

Scripted != live

... but ok, it came closest...
