Quote from Stigpt :http://www.hdd.pt/download/118 ... n_Alonso_Onboard.avi.html

actually, if you look at this onboard - he was CELEBRATING the overtake and hit his fist in the button, not ripping a tear off.
Look at his right hand -its hilarious.

I totally agree with you
he just raise his fist and wasn't rip off something from his visior
at least it doesn't look like it and usually they move their hands from left to right or right to left to tear off strips from the visor.

Edit: and I have never seen someone doing it in such a short time

I agree with what James wrote.


In the end it's just a normal reaction if your people are being under cultural repression for so many years.
Here is another uncensored vid:

Quote from hyntty :
Which reminds me, Germans are now walking with their heads up high. Yesterdays Bild: "WE have the best cars. Mercedes p1, BMW p2 and williams with a german built engine p3. WE have the most succesful drivers..." It can't be that big of a thing can it? Our magazines don't write with that tone, do they?

I bet you also have such yellow (brainless) press in Finland
Bild is in Germany like The Sun in the UK
BIG generalised Headlines for the masses.
No one with a brain would take these papers really serious.

btw
we have the best cars

Quote from buedi :Just looked over to BHMS and saw the Announcement of Nitro Stunt Racing S1. I checked the Trailer and the Site and try to download the Demo now.
Looks like some Arcade Racer like Trackmania with some basic Physics added. Sounds interesting for some Arcade Racer...

Hmm... me wonders if the Stage System gets popular in the Independent Developer Scene?

I thought it was a new game but it isn't

It was released in april last year by frogster:
(check amazon and get it for like 12 to 13 euros )

It's a funny arcade game that you can play from time to time nothing more and def. not a sim

btw:
The developer on the "new site" said to the "new version":
Quote :The German version has slightly different tracks.
We have modified a bit the Jump it up and the Hot rusk tracks so they are more playable on the EN/FR version.
All the rest of the content is exactly the same (appart from all the bugs we've corrected )

Quote from Horseman : But let’s face it, the developers behind the project give pretty much 100% guarantee that the quality will be outstanding.

Oh great then it must be like this.
rFactor, GTR, GTR2, WTCC RACE 07 whatever was the best sim out there bla bla (lol)
If I wouldn't have heard such statements from almost every dev or company that come out with something new then maybe the concerns would be a little fewer.
But just because the devs say it's outstanding it doesn't mean it is like this.
I can't really remember a programm the could hold the promises the devs made before it was released.
But you are right we have to wait and see but I'm not surprised if it is not as good as they say.

btw:
where do the 9 euros per month come from?
They say on their website it will be like 16$ to 19$ per month over 3 years which is almost ~11 to ~13 Euros.

We all know that LFS is the exception rather than the rule but this is just crazy.

LFS costs me ~36 Euros in 5 years (including demo times + new cars + new tracks + online play + lfs world etc.)

for iRacing it would cost:
just an Example
5 new cars = $15 * 5 = 75$
5 new tracks = 20 * 5 = 100$ (~20$ per track)
5 years of online playing (if you pay for a complete year) = 13$ * 12 * 5 = 780$

All together for 5 years: 955$ = ~658 Euros

ROFL

I would say better spent that amount of money for real life track days or buy LFS another 18 times.

Their marketing analysts must live on the other side of the moon if they really think people will/can pay it or they are not really convinced by their own product and expect only a few people to pay for it.

I wrote something like that in the MoE board because there this discussion makes more sense imo:

Every shift+p is benefical for a team in the same way.

"get stuck n the gravel and don't use it - your race is over !!! ",
"engine damage and not use it - your race is over (well or better completly senseless)
"DC and not drive on - your race is over"
(there will never be a proof if someone does it on purpose or if it happend randomly - all you can do is speculate about it.)

Anyway all has the same result - "the race is not over" for no one
So why should there other or different penalties for the same thing.

If that would be treated diff. then the MoE admins also have to check in what part of the track and gravel a driver was when he shift+P to drive on etc. etc. etc.

Ayway without the MoE shift+p rule we would have 4 cars finishing a 24 hours race and hey this is a game to have fun with others and your team and not reality - because in reality their are no drivers that magically dissapear from the track and wake up at home all alone .

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :Hello, I am wondering is there a possibility that I can have XP Home and Vista Ultimate running on the same computer using two hard drives? I'm not sure exactly about boot managers and things like that, and I would be grateful if someone could help me

Yes you can:

just install them (first XP then vista) on the HDD of your choice.
You will later have the boot loader from vista and can choose what Os you want to load. Only makes problems when you want to get rid of vista i.e then you have to perform some action (canbe googled) to not also destroy the XP installation.


If you don't want a boot loader and two complete indipendent OS installations you can unplug 1 HDD and install 1 OS on the other HDD and vice versa with the next HDD. Depends on your board sometimes it also works without unplugging the HDDs.

Depending on your Motherboard (SATA/SATA II/ Raid boards usually have that) you can then hit F8 or F11 or what your board manual tells you to open an "onboard boot-loader" and choose from which HDD /DVD/CD etc. you want to boot.
No need to go into the BIOS each time.

Quote from Gekkibi :Don't start to mock me but I had to ask: Why do you need "clans" in a racing simulator? Sure, there are different teams in F1 IRL, for example, but still... I just don't get it, enlight me.

I think the majority here would say it's called "Teams" not "clans"

I you want to do leagues like http://www.mastersofendurance.eu/
where you have to drive 6, 12 or 24 hours you def. need a Team.
Then when you got someone from your Team telling you when to pit over Teamspeak or that you have to push a bit harder or that you have to let someone driving another faster class of car pass etc. then it makes the feeling of driving in a league more realistic.

And like S}{adow said not everyone can do (good looking) skins on his own or build (good and fast) setups etc.

and here is a whole thread about it with some good explanations:

Quote :There is also the option to buy a license for someone else. This is done via a so called 'Voucher', which is a special code that can be entered on our website, to upgrade an account to S2 licensed. So when buying a license for someone else, you buy a voucher, which is a code that the other person can use to upgrade his account here on the Live for Speed website.

Quote from Jakg :Erm, I have downloaded a perfectly legal copy of XP Pro free, with a legal serial key. Rare as hell to find stuff like this, but it does happen...

(Also got legal Vista Business and Server 2003 keys this way, all legal, direct from M$)

I know there are the MSDN subscriptions, MSDN AA etc. but I doubt that the guy who started this thread meant something like this or has ever heard of it.

This is funny whenever someone is asking how to use a crack for LFS or use it etc. people freak out

but when someone is asking how to use a cracked/hacked OS (or if he should download it) no one realy seems to care about it.

Or where in the world can you download a licensed version of the OS Windows XP ???

Quote from Dajmin :
And as mentioned elsewhere I'm also the lead singer of Albany Down, once voted the UK's hottest independent band. We now have a bassist (for the time being) so I'm not playing an instrument any more. We gig, you want to come and see us. Morbo demands attendance!

Bit OT but
nice sound and website you got
btw the start of the new song JEALOUSY sounds like I have heard it before - then I remembered the bass from the Killing Joke song Eighties

Quote from daanroof :ok, thanks a lot
but i checked out the record thing he wrote and i dont understand how to assign the shift paddle's to shift up and down so if someone could explain it here that would be nice.

assign or record the left shift paddle in the recorder software to downshift and the right paddle to upshift - save the sheme - then open LFS and you can assign the left and right paddle shifters to the buttons for up and downshift.

or use this sheme (unzip it !) and put it into:
C:\Programme\Microsoft Hardware\Game Controllers\Schemes (or wherever you installed the MS software) and then assign the buttons in LFS -> Options -> Controls

Quote from daanroof :anyone knows where i can find XP drivers for the MS FF wheel?
I tried google but i cant find it, I only find drivers for 98, is there even drivers for XP? can i use the 98 drivers even though im using XP?

There are no XP drivers available for this wheel, MS stopped the support after Win98.

But it depends on what wheel you have for the USB version of the wheel you can still use the 4.0 drivers under XP:
http://www.technikteam.de/software/download.php?id=500
(use the "Download now" button or google for
SideWinder Game Controller Software Version 4.0 )

If you then want to use the recorder function of the drivers you have to do this:

That's what I read:

" Virgin has ordered 15 of the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft which can be used for the 16-hour non-stop stretch between London and Perth (Australia)."

So I don't think they can do (will try) it with an A340

Must be a special UK thing.

In Germany Amazon delivery times are usually great (for me).

The last time I ordered some DVDs with normal postage (no special expensive fast delivery) it was like this: Ordered it ~15:20 on Wednesday - and got the package the next day at 11:00 o'clock.
And the other stuff takes usually only 2 days for me.
