That will be the main improvement in Y21.

It's already working in my version and producing good a frame rate increase when there are a lot of cars on the screen.

Fantastic news and another step towards falling parts

The thing is that even if some people can be succesful to some extent in making the change from VB6 to C++, what we are discussing here is if its the best thing to do.

Facts are that unmanaged memory and cryptic syntax (to name a few) arent the best things to deal with when coming from a permissive language like VB6.

Following my previous comparison, is it possible to race a F3000 coming from karts? Sure. Chances are you're gonna end up against a wall, though.

Thanks to all that replied

I think I am going to go with C++ as it seem to be industry standardized and I can use my Programming teher;s website for the C++ course Im taking next year.

Thanks again
Bobby

Good luck jumping from a 4 stroke kart to a F3000 with no TC. Beware of unmanaged memory walls and tail-happy pointers.

You may want to reconsider .NET after the 3rd or 4th serious headache, specially considering you're coming from Vb6

For example Bob Dylan...

Spot on. Perfect example of artist that is all about lyrics.

With this I dont mean in any way that instrumentals arent good, and there you have, again, Sigur Ròs or Mogwai. IMO is a the combination of both what create superb listenings: Tool / Pearl Jam / NIN, etc

Quote from Mille Sabords :

Any comments?

Nice idea overall, but it doesnt take into account that there are some seriously fast dickheads out there.

Well in fact I find it very logical when you know how .NET works, but thats not the point of the thread The guy asked what to learn next and IMO VB .NET is the best shot if you have no other programming experience.

Or the next logical step, which would be VB .NET

Magnus has a tendency to write his own opinions as if they were the ultimate truth so I wouldnt take that article too seriously.

tbh, if he doesnt want to race in CTRA its his loss.

When you arrive with some friends at the Hostel in Stockholm at 2 AM and see a note in the front door 'You got mail'.

"OMG at this time all the internet cafes are closed what are we gonna do?"

Then we realized there was an envelope with the key in it in the open mail box...

So yeah we were all geeks in that trip LOL

Hehe I already liked the original version in german even though I didnt understand sh**, reminded me of sorta Kraftwerk.

Good work!

To add to whats been said here, I'd like to point out that the weather up there is depressing. Coming from Spain, I lived for a year in Dublin, and I've made several trips to Scotland, England and northern Europe.

I have to say that long periods with such a bad weather can darken anyone's mind, just get some days off and go somewhere sunny, I bet you'll feel better.

If you liked Juno, I suggest Little Miss Sunshine

Congrats guys, more ammo for next MoE

Not really, zeug. I cba to look for youtube vids at work, but:

Led Zeppelin - No Quarter

Tool - No Quarter

Now, this is one of the rare times when the song is an all time master piece and the cover is even better.

Now this thread can be locked

I still have mixed feelings about it, at first sight it doesnt have any mind blowing piece, but then again the first time I listened to The Fragile I didnt like it and now I love every single second of it so what gives

I somehow doubt support for medieval south japanese is gonna pwn including real cars or tracks.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Rockstar have said they doubt they will even make a version for the PC, and they are not even thinking about it yet. So you could be waiting years for it, rather than months.

Source please

Whats wrong in gender playing its part in those tests? If they can make a profit out of putting a woman in a F1 car, they will do it for sure, it always works like that.

I have to admit I always keep an eye on DTM to see how the girls are doing, dont really know why but Im always hoping for them to do well.

That sucked big time, Im not a Lorenzo fan by any means but the show him and Pedrosa (with Rossi and Casey) are giving this year is truly awesome, even more if you're spanish since the whole country is divided between Dani and him

About the crash, those slide-grip-highsides are always the worst, Im amazed most times they just walk away cursing by not being able to keep riding, and Im not too sure about his decission of riding with the broken ankle being the right one, but in the end its the doctor's decission, not his.

Would hate to see his season ruined by selfdestructing himself, we need every Lorenzo there is on track!

Im not keen on opening it right here at the office, could please someone post a link to download the show, if available?

TIA

Quote from amp88 :

I've been an F1 fan for over 10 years now and I've seen enough performances for the camera/crowd to recognise them. Most of the spanish 'fans' have only heard the twisted Spanish commentators' and Alonso's opinions about F1 for the last few years at most. Alonso, their hero, goes out and puts a car on 2nd on the grid and the crowd goes wild. Immediately everyone who knows anything about F1 should be saying to themself "He's light and playing to the crowd". We'll find out tomorrow, if I'm wrong then I'l happily admit it and bow at Alonso's feet, hailing him as God.

So you've been sitting in front of the TV watching F1 for 10 years and that gives you bullet proof knowledge of each and every one crowd in every Grand Prix, thus enabling you to make scientific statements like you did a few posts above.

Turns out you're being the ignorant one, though.

Probably spanish fans shouldnt be happy because Alonso got 2nd, instead they should be sitting alone in a dark corner of Scotland along with other F1 experts like you.

Dont forget to save & post replay here!

Very nice grid

Congrats to the Finnish Automobile Club for the title!

Question authority.
Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.Think for yourself.Question authority.
