Eeeeh? I'm having the most fun than ever before, I'm enjoying the challenge. Gear changes don't feel slow either, but of course, those are only my opinions.
Here is my third, or second "proper" movie. Bloody decompressing almost made me loose my mind, but eventually all came together and here is the crappy Youtube version.
I would just like to comment on that and say that Chicane route is missing the barriers from that spot like Classic has. And that "hole" is only visible from cockpit view.
The first annual bike throwing championships were a success, dispite the fact some competitors really didn't get the idea of throwing their bike, instead of driving them.
Njaah, it's ok to spell it with a and o, because some keyboards don't have those characters. It's spelling it totally wrong ie. Riakkoen Kolvaenn etc. that makes us mis-spell British racing car drivers.
Well, compared to the land area we could built on the houses are small. But big houses are expensive to keep warm anyway, so it not might be that bad. Europeans live tight compared to Americans in any scale.
More about alcohol price, it's 170% over the European average I think, only Ireland is more expensive.
edit.
One thing you silly Brits should love is the true limitless broadband. Not the most fastest in the world, but I'd say 2/1 megs is available even on the most rural areas.
And btw, have you though where around Finland you were going to move Doorman?
Yes, it's funny you see because you people can't spell Räikkönen or Kovalainen and we can't spell Blotton, Humdton, or Cultard. What a coincidence I say!
Hard to say really. Haven't really seen the world and it's hard to see the trees from all the forest some time. If you don't mind the dark winter, and some cold temperatures every now and then, I guess it's not that bad. People are a bit different than Englishmen I'd say, cultural differences you always get when changing country. People don't really talk much, silence is a blessing and empty talk is for the empty headed. But of course, we've moved to the more central European direction and we are actually having small-talk nowdays. Although, the difference might be that when a finn asks "how are you doing?" it might actually mean, how you really are doing and if everything alright. I'm not really sure about it though.
What else. Well, cars are ridiculously expensive, houses are small, and people drink.
And btw, shouldn't it be "the worst thing" not "worse".
Well I guess I didn't pull of a Hamilton after all then. Celebrations after last race though, there is still Team title to fight for. Only 23 point between Slot cars and Pirateufrs, and the pirates won't surrender without a proper fight.
Eeeeh? First, automatic gearbox is always the slowest because you have no control what gear you are going to be. Secondly, automatic doesn't have blip that would be stabilizing the car under braking and therefore have advantage. Thirdly, auto clutch hasn't changed in any way since X10. It's still a robotic system that makes sure you can't stall and have clutch when changing up. Only way to heat your clutch is probably start with a too high gear and full revs.
Anyway, guide to the world of auto-clutch:
Make sure your gear rations are not too tall when starting. The automatic clutch doesn't drop it instantly, but allows slip and that will heat your clutch. Change up&down when you like, lifting slightly on upshift migh be recommended.
Well I actually came across this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide when I was checking if I got the translation correct, and it says like that. But I guess if it's in liquid form it's toxic.
I can relate to what you wrote. While the Club thread is a half joke (if you saw the small print in white in the first post) and a jab for the silly arcade crowd, I do hope there is reason for such threads in the future too. But I think here is too much praising and how awesome is teh patch around here. It's normal I know, but Scavierge should be kept on their toes to deliver more hardcore.
Y will be great, and I have never enjoyed failing at something like I did mis-shifting my gears and loosing the draft last night. But it has to be the beginning, I sure hope so too. Racing should be more dynamic, and not a laboratory of perfection lap after lap, clutch brings something, but there should be more in the future. Not that I can enjoy much of the improvement in the next 6 or so months though, but that doesn't matter does it. We need someone to give some seat time to Scawen in a proper racing car, maybe crash it slightly too. That should get him inspired. :P
Are AI trying to over correct wheel movement when they drive over kerbs? Or do they just have very flimsy hands with great strength but no resisting muscles? Because their steering and hands shake very violently and incredibly quickly to side to side when they drive over kerbs.
AS Cadet and the chicane braking on the second sector is a good place to demonstrate it, see the replay.
What you've described sounds like Tiptronic. The road cars we have in LFS are old and probably wouldn't have such fancy technology. And why on earth you would want such thing anyway? Manual is faster on track, and much more fun.
