I agree that Remco has history of picking what suits him when it comes to blaming though.

It's my specialty

What a great match that was :O

Quote from Flame CZE :

At least the last caution could be avoided.

Rony was 1 lap ahead of you and Sigitas was 3 laps behind. You had literally nobody to race with at the time and honestly, with less than 4 laps to go, there was next to no chance of getting any positions. Yet you had a contact with car 73 in turn 3 and instead of keeping your line, you steered into him.

I wouldn't mind that much if it hadn't ruined a green flag finish and a battle for the win. I was really disappointed it didn't happen.

And "I'm not the only one" is not an excuse for such behaviour.

Martin here pretty much speaks for me.

It wasn't one mistake that made me do that last post, it was you constantly making those mistakes. YOU should be the one who should have sorted out YOUR hardware. You can't blame your mistakes on something you could've easily prevented. And if your hardware really was that bad and really couldn't do anything about it, you shouldn't have raced.

If you lose control and plow in the rear of the field under caution twice, it isn't called "everyone makes mistakes"/"shit happens".

Quote from chanoman315 :

Or what can be done:
Good drivers, Teams, fast guys etc, can work with Scawen to provide a base setup for each combo, that can be fast and reliable in some situations (Qualy, quick races) like some games come up with.

This, I would be happy to help too

whatif the new westhill gets released before? Would it still be WE1r, or is it possible we could drive another config?

And is BL11(r) also a possibility? IMO it's better than bl1(r)

lap 15 > causes caution
lap 22 > doesn't slow down while caution is deployed and plows into that crash
lap 95 > Plows into the rear of the grid in caution
lap 101 > jumpstarts
lap 105 > Causes another wreck/spin
lap 110 > plows again into the rear of the grid while in caution
lap 242 > loses control under caution

and then the last caution mister velikov caused. I mean, this isn't just inexperience in play here.

oh, get a room already XD

Quote from ACCAkut :

Your lads don't do that well either. If Robben hadn't faked that foul you'd may not be in the Cup now

actually nothing would've changed. Because the foul he faked didn't get called.

Quote from MousemanLV :

And when Thilo pronounced my surname, I felt hurt...Like if someone kicked me in the face!

that would be fun if he saw you hit sigitas in pit. He would've needed to pronounce both of them XD

I tried to keep my rants off this thread this race, but what I saw here was even stupider than Gavin Free talking about science.

That last crash which gave us the anti-climactic ending I thought very simple about the lapped down cars (who were also battling for position) fought hard and something simply went wrong. But this wasn't the case at all. And I think everyone is allowed to hear my opinion about it.

Dear #7 M.Velikov,

You are a couple of laps down, with nobody in the same lap battling for position with you. What in Celestia's name were you thinking, when you went and mixed in battling with drivers who were battling each other for position.

First: You tried to jump the start and was aside #8 before it was green. You screwed over his start. And think of it. What would you have gained if you did have a good start because of it. NOTHING. You would only mix in with higher battles where you had nothing to gain.

Then: Battle between #73 and #76. #73 gets and aero wash and slides up. Ok shit happens. He tried to stay with #76 in the last couple of laps. But what do you do Velikov? Instead of backing off because he is not your fight, no-one was at this point, you steer into him again!

If that wasn't enough: He lost the draft with Murphy, OK shit happens. What do you decide to do? Try an outside overtake on #73.

If you really think that wasn't a bad enough idea: T3, Your team mate and #68 (for position) caught up to #73 and tried to overtake. What do you do, you just wreck #73.That was the saddest action I've ever seen anyone in sim-racing do. You were 3 laps down on him. 4 Laps down on the leaders and you **** up all their races without a reason. I'd rather had lost from Martin than win because of your stupid actions.

Quote from Dennis93 :

You must be in the higher end of Mexico then, if you can afford that.

or he deals drugs

Although the Netherlands played like turd before the 0-1 from mexico, in the end they deserved to win. At least 2 penalties should've been given before, so I understand why they made that dive of robben a penalty.

Quote from Fastwalker :

Uhh, that's a Croatian flag?

no it's perry

Quote from MousemanLV :

I feel so blessed that the race commentator and the mighty camera guy had eyes on me as I crashed due to Remco's epic set whilst going trough the last turn as I somehow managed to get my formula sideways and I simply didn't have a chance to save it as it had a mind of its own

that's why you shouldn't use a set from somebody who likes initial D :P

Quote from FalconBridge :

This only happened on my end.

I almost never timeout. All well, better luck next year.

you at least won something :P

IMO everyone who has bought LFS can state an opinion. Doesn't matte rif he/she isn't playing anymore. It only helps them getting back if their opinion is getting heard and considered

Quote from Scawen :

All right... I don't want to argue with you, as I am working on some good things. We don't need to argue. I will have one last go to explain my viewpoint. I really hope you will read carefully what I say, with an open mind. I have had an open mind, remember I bought Windows 7, used it for some weeks before being forced to revert.

My real point is that MS could very simply have included all those D3DX9_xx.dll files as standard. They aren't big... in fact they are infinitessimally tiny compared with the massive bloatware that Windows is. So there isn't any valid reason why they didn't include those DLL files.

So my reasoning is they are trying to make it harder for people to run older software, to give developers like me an incentive to NOT use DX9, therefore forcing our customers to upgrade. I think it's a dirty trick.

My reasoning is supported by the fact that they removed the ability to use debug version of DX9 on an update of Windows 7 (removing abilities deliberately) which forces any developers who upgraded to Windows 7, to give up DX9. Once again, so that our customers are forced to hand over their money to MS.

It's not me being a fanboy. That is quite ridiculous. I'm 42 years old, have been a programmer for 31 years and I'm no fanboy to anyone or anything. I have been a supporter of Windows all these years. But this new strategy is bullying and I don't support it.

Now that I looked at the actual advantages of the new dx version I get it. I thought that an almost 43 year old complaining about new stuff was the same as my grand pa saying "back in the day everything was better". But ye, now that I look at the windows prices, MS being a money stealer again. I just noticed hawken also runs dx9. which is fairly new.

my apolagies

Quote from Scawen :

Here you go, seeing as you think I am making this stuff up:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179113

You are the deluded one, who believes unfailingly in the actions of a desperate corporation which seeks growth at any cost, even including the deliberate disabling of features that would allow backward compatibility, as they have deluded themselves that will somehow help their sales.

Actually MS are making a mistake. The way to secure a long term future is not to deliberately disable features. Secure the loyalty of your customers by helping them and just trying to improve things. MS have have lost their way, become desperate and are now clutching at straws.

That is only if you have a problem. "If you install and then run an application or game that requires DirectX 9, you might receive an error message such as "The program can't start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." "

this is just to fix that problem some people have.

Quote from Scawen :

Why don't you read and see the problems that come up instead of being an idiot as usual? According to Microsoft's own website, you have to install things to run DX9. That is NOT helpful.

please link me.

Scawen asked about if win 8 users needed to do anything to run dx9. answer: no. I have 8.1 64 bit though. Microsoft didn't make it harder in any way. Thats just Scawen's xp fanboyism that makes him believe that. I am going to reinstall my laptop anyway soon, so can try to do it with 8.0 as well.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

You must be a very fast drifter then.

not really, he's still recovering

Quote from Eclipsed :

No,it will end much earlier,since you're not taking part!

you are forgetting matt

Quote from Fordman :

there is nothing in there that says "at their descreassion they might drop the price for the beta version"

Everything in the world gets on sale or gets cheaper over time. There are tons of early access games on sale this time. They don't have to say it can get cheaper or get on sale over time. I also didn't expect them to do that because everyone with more than half a brain knows this. If you really thought this wasn't going to happen, you deserve to pay "too much".

OMG, I just laughed my ass off. Fordman seriously asked 50% back

EDIT: he DEMANDS it HAHA

Quote from no_one :

What happens in a green and white chequered? Do we hold position for the last lap or do we race to the end?
