Basicly the same here Mackie, treat everyone as a dumb inconsiderate twat who will do what you least expect them to.

Unlucky though Jak, to be quite honest I was the same as you, well not quite as bad to fall off but had alot of times when I was just going to fast or braking to hard.

The worst one I had was into a corner like the one you described, down a hill and a 90 right, while just touching the front brakes (and rear) went over a drain cover and I can quite happily say I was lucky not to have to change my pants when I got home. The grip came back after the drain cover but it certainly taught me how easy it is to just lose the front end.

Also roundabouts, 7am on a foggy cold greasy morning, some 4x4 up your arse so your i'm just going at a fast ish pace and the rear starts snaking around, it's just so easy on a moped, luckally I never crashed mine, but I have crashed one of my mates one a couple of years ago, basicly the same but the road was gravely and I slid off the side, hit a bank and landed on the road.

When you crash once you probarly wont crash in the same way again so it's a good lesson to learn early on.

Yeah, not that i've crashed on them, but drain covers are LETHAL.

Read them before you started the thread.. very very well written as usual Zafar / Raiko.

J.B. ... have any onboards you can share? Pleeease?

Don't spray with the can upside down. And for christ sake get a brain while you're at it.

Damn Straight!

It can go up a hill, although embarrassingly it slows down considerably.

I have one of those . Still trying to sell it though. I've got a car license now.

Quite a fun first bike. Automatic, there is no point in a geared 50 IMO, and I got it to go 59 mph down a hill . I'm riding a CBR 125 ATM.

If Harjun is telling the truth about his parents, then...

Harjun, tell your parents to read this: You, are all idiots.

You sound like the ultimate spoilt brat Harjun.

I actually sometimes think Harjun's license is just some nutter trying to be funny, like its all a big joke.

And you Jakg, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?? STOP WASTING YOUR TIME WITH HIM!!

Edit: As this post is relatively useless, if you want some advice, throw the laptop out of the window and get a proper damn life.

Definately darkest, nice and professional, the light ones look washed out.

Couldn't resist, did this a while ago, normal fast setup used...

Sounds normal to me. The motors are just getting hot that's all. But don't overdo it, maybe reduce ffb a bit.

Quote from JTbo :

I did decided to test annoying wing car that I never drive as I saw someone liking it a lot when driving one with motion simulator.

Can't really tell why, but it slides quite often if I touch loud pedal, it is like it would have minor acceleration and then insane slide acceleration, but hardly nothing between those two.

Also I found it incredible easy to catch in most situations (using 550 degrees with dfp).

Should it be like that or should set be adjust so that it does not do such things?

I had a test drive, and that setup is horrible. It bit me on lap 5 completely. However, my tips on driving the FO8 would be to just have confidence in the car, try sliding it on purpose to get a feel for it. I tend to mash the throttle and deal with the back end through steering inputs. However with this setup you need to have some throttle control too. Another tip would be to try and take smoother lines and maintain your speed throughout the corner.

But.. first thing would be to look on inferno for a better set.

P.S. I am by no means a very good driver, I'm just trying to help.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Why would overclocking it make it not overkill? I'm not really planning on overclocking. Maybe my CPU, If its not as quick as I'd like. But not my Graphics

Also, a Tagan 480W is £58.74, that's over budget. I've got a total max of £400, but I don't want to spend it all.

Overclocking that CPU is so easy to do, you can run it at 3 GHz, stock voltage and cooling. So that's almost twice the performance.

LMAO at this thread

Oh, I from what I've seen of it in the threads I've looked in, it was quite useful...

Maybe I've missed something...

Why don't Honda chuck the current car in the bin, and work on developing last years car instead?

We know that the Super Aguri is quicker...

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I don't understand you guys, don't you have any Nationality pride?

Just bitching and bitching about the poor guy, and he's nothing but BRILIANT!
ITV this, ITV that, you hate him because your comentators actually DO have some pride for the country in which they live? That's sad really...

Indeed, very odd. I think its just because we hate having the same opinion as James Allen... But in this case he's right. I think the guy is superb (LH not JA ).

Quote from sinbad :

I hope my post was not genuinely taken seriously, I hate when that happens. First the pogo sticks and now this.

Well you were being funny, but at the same time making a point. Yeah it is VERY annoying how they all worship Hamilton, but meh...

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Nah, I don't like him because of the way he handles himself in interviews, he comes across as a bit slimy. That and the fact that he's way too well-groomed, he looks a bit too pretty, almost feminine. I'm surprised with all the adverts he's doing that he hasn't tried to sell me cosmetics yet.

Lol. Interesting. I can understand that, and you have a point, but seriously...

Quote from thisnameistaken :

FWIW I don't like Hamilton much either, he seems like a bit of a cock.

??

I don't understand all this Hamilton hate. Jesus we need more sportsmen / women like Hamilton. Far too many Brits end up like Henman. Button is a Henman.

You don't like him because he is so competitive. But what's wrong with that? To beat top experienced drivers, you have to believe you can, and that normally has an influence on your attitude. However I have only rarely seen Hamilton show any arrogance / cockiness. In the British GP, he blamed everything about his poor result, on himself infront on everyone. I don't think you could find another driver out there who would take 100% of the blame like that.

You can't expect everyone to walk around all jolly and polite, when they are trying to be the best in the world for christ's sake.

Oh and one last thing, Hamilton hardly went berserk when it appeared his own team mate had deliberately robbed his chances at pole. Imagine if it was reversed, and Alonso was the victim? He would have gotten a shotgun out.

/rant over.

Edit: Oh yes, because ITV like him, you guys hate him. Hmmm how very sad...

Scawen (i think) did say though that he was going to work on them more, after patch V. You never know, if it wasn't for Dave, Scawen might have instead spent all his time enhancing and perfecting the engine, and tweaking the sounds, and by now we'd have awesome spectacular better than real-life sounds in surround sound!

/goes off to find Dave

Since people wanted some videos to compare, here are some:

Patch U sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68-3Ugw7cwM
Patch V sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXG2TJQgsoE
Patch W sounds (mine :P): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3140969976597379310

I know they still sound crap, but I have many ideas for Scawen to try out when he is ready.

P.S. You can find some updates to the BF1, FZR and FZ5 HERE. However don't expect a miracle. Also, the post below mine in that thread, the FZ5 sound, is actually quite good. I may ask him if I can develop that further.

P.P.S How about if people try making the sounds better themselves if they don't like them? Everyone has the same tools available to them as I did.

Haha rofl, they just showed the clip of James Allen going spastic when Button won last year.

Quote from Clownpaint :

Do you have to be able to read his mind to see him pointing at the pit crew and looking over to them, and getting frustrated at the fact that they are holding him back more than once?

I don't.

It's clear Alonso feels he is playing second fiddle to Hamilton. The last few races are his way of stating he still deserves to be #1. It's making for some great television.

That's a point, maybe Alonso's aim wasn't to ruin Hamilton's chances. IIRC most F1 drivers don't know much themselves about how much time they have left to leave the pits etc...

Alonso did look very worried indeed in the PC, and very relieved when they didn't ask him too many questions.

Tristan, are you saying that Schumacher is not a worthy champion either? Because Schumacher used to do things far more naughty than that.

Quote from deggis :

If he's not extensively promoting LFS/racesims in general, so how would what affect anything?

No, but the fact is, he got into RL motorsport through playing LFS. Maybe other teams will look for other top performing sim racers to test IRL.
