Sweet, what a speed, 850 kb/s...never had anything load that fast!
Not seen the video yet, but isn't it a bit early for Xmas presents? Or is this a bribe?

And where did this 14 o'clock came from anyway? There has been no consistency in release times, other than it's usually Friday.
@JTbo Well, it is not free if you have to be pedantic about it, we still have to get loans and students are poor as hell because it's made illegal to do work. But it's still far less expensive. And because the education of future generations is for good for everybody, it's good everyone shares the cost. Besides, they will eventually be paying their education by doing work and paying their taxes.

Ah yes, sure. My tiny brains just connects FFB with with FFB wheels. Wouldn't be buying vibrating seat myself though.
Well that's nothing but a flamebait.
It is free for the students. So anyone smart enough who is bothered, can have education and it doesn't matter if your parents are not that wealthy. Obviously extra money helps, but that is normal in life. But in US the level of education you can have is largely bound to money your parents have made.
Well, I wish I actually could complain going to school. Got to wait to next autumn to start my university studies. I really wanted to start studying economics when I actually remembered stuff from school, but the stupid compulsory service starting in January keeps me away from school for over a year now. And only because I was born with a penis.
Is it possible to send cars if I only have silver account at the moment? I think I have a spare MR2 lying around.
But education is one of the most expensive things over there I think? And what is given out for free is rubbish. One of the things you get here, is very high quality free education.
Technically I don't speak English, and I'm referred as Kimi in teamspeak, but here you go.
Track part:
"This is Scawen Roberts, programmer of Live for Speed. This short video is about my test day in real Formula BMW, which we've resently added in our racing simulation. The car I drove is owned by Fortec Motorsport, where we vent the day before to test to get my seat fitted. I had to sit on a black plastic bag like a bin liner (??) and they poured chemicals in to the bag which then expanded around me, making a foam seat. There's my son Leo. On the right you see James Marshall, who is running V1 Championship which will be launched next year and shown TV. V1 will be looking for a racing driver trough series of tests, including LFS. My test day was held at Brunghinton (??) proving ground, this was my in a single seater. It's a tight squeeze getting in to the car. Here I am about to pull away for the first time. It took a few laps to get used to the track, and realize I could take the main left bend at full speed because of the downforce. I was trying to go fast as possible, to make most of my day. As you can see, I pass my limits on couple of corners. The long straight was quite a relief after the sequence of mainly right turns. And coming up you see my first crash. Luckily the front wing is being re-attached so I could continue (not sure about this part, lots of noises there). And that was one of two high speed spins. It really was an exciting day and a great experience. I was very worn out by the end of the day, mainly in the arms after about 100 laps."
The LFS part:
"And here is the Formula BMW in LFS. Eric was able to get the best possible reference for the interior of the car by taking photos of the real thing. I got inspired to update the gear box simulation, to drive fast as possible with a sequential gearbox you don't use the clutch and must lift off the throttle for moment to change up. Engines now have more inertia, realistic redlines, clutches can overheat and engines can be stalled. Eric has updated the Blackwood track, there are some changes to the chicane after the hairpin and the section after the main straight to make it more interesting for the less powered cars. He is also worked a lot on the graphics of South city. It's physically safer as well, the curbs are protected by barriers like you would see at Monaco. The AI drivers can now drive out of the pitlane for qualifying or practice and come back in at the end of the race. Their racing line is now calculated in a much better way, they can drive much faster and more consistently than in the old version. They adjust their driving to deal with the condition of their tires and changing weight due the fuel usage. Thanks for watching, i hope you enjoyed the video."
If you meant if French, or if someone has done this already, I'm going to kill something! :P
edit. Off to kill something that is then!
Easy solution is to talk about LFS, not Live for Speed.
Cool. Although the first video link doesn't work.
Didn't actually pay attention to the rear, it is a bit awful indeed. But I don't much care about those cars, they have always been a bit silly. But the Alfa you mentioned...purrr
Hah, so you think the President circus actually effects the economy? And it's not just a fluke in the statistics? Or, the current President and his party making things look better in their last year?
And it is looking like a bad your for business in the US for the next year, investors are not that confident. But you are right, we are having some inflation problems over here. ECB kept it's interest at 4,0% against what people thought today. But some inflation is always normal when you are experiencing economical growth, because the amount of money on the move will increase.

There in the England it's 1:10 at the moment...I think.
Yeah. Oval, tell me about it!
Yes, but why? You can't have a discussion about the subject what the thread is about. In this case the new car. Besides, why this should be a happy happy thread, so the devs don't get upset? I'm sure they are up to read different opinions and follow the discussion if they like to, long as it doesn't get that nasty. It's not like they can't read other threads on the forums if the threads would be separated is it?
Don't see a reason for that. Is it just me who still think this is rather nice play with not much whoring and flaming?
Now we are getting really off-topic though. These threads usually end up locked, but usually not before the patch is released.
What flamewar? All I've seen has been discussion with varying amounts of sense. Arguments are not flaming, you can not have a discussion without them.

Considering the economical prospects of UK compared to your comrades over seas, I'd be happy for the amount of taxes you pay.
If 2007 was thought as a bad year in US, just wait for 08. The US dollar has been rubbish for years, and people have been spending money that doesn't exist. The dollar doesn't have the credibility it used to have. I think some OPEC members recently demanded get rid of using dollar, and that says enough for me.
The sad thing is that downfall in the US will affect rest of the world, so screw you and thanks!
Now now, I was referring to what the devises used to steer an automobile for the last 100 years normally has been.
So basically you are saying that it doesn't matter what kind of controller you have, it's always too unrealistic to have. So the chances are, you shouldn't play, or....let the more unrealistic options be equally fast than the more realistic?
Imo, a circular thing (even a plate) is always closer to a wheel used to steer a car than a devise which has its look from a small critter. It has the same principal, which is a circle rotating around the axle. Of course, if you use a more twisted logic, you could think the mouse as a devise used to control the driver's hand or the player. With a wheel you put yourself in the position of the driver automatically.

Start packing then. But as the host I choose the cars, and no way can be so rude I would take the honors being the crash test dummy.
No, you come here big man. Polar bears love you long time.
Yes it does. And it's not just about smoothing out sharp edges. For five star rating you must have empty crumple zone for the pedestrian head between the bonnet and the hard engine bits under it. That basically means you need to mount the engine lower or have the bonnet higher, which will obviously look silly. There is lots of other thing, like safer bumbers to protect knees and legs. I'm not sure if there is any legislation for what is illegal, but I think sharp edged boxy cars are thing of the past. Not to mention how bad aerodynamics boxes on wheels have.
edit. Better said what it's all about in the post above this. ^
