I wish he'd go back into team ownership personally. Thinking about it he could afford to buy out Paul's ride and crew with the spare cash he has floating around. I wouldn't mind that.
Oh ya, and bring back the Menard V6s at Indy pl0x.
John Menard FINALLY has a win. Anyone actually know if they're badged as Menard engines or RCR ones? I always was a fan of the Menard V6s, fast, loud, and not very reliable (least for Smoke)
IRL wouldn't go there period, simply as the speeds are too high now. Yea back in the 80s they ddin't care, but now they won't go anywhere where the cars go quicker than the main stretch at Indy.
^ But it has been on free to air TV for....let's see....the past 30 or 40 years. Remember the BBC only started full season coverage in 1978 with Murray.
IMO it's a major, major step backwards. I can see Sky....er, Murdoch wanting to shut down video streaming sites even more now.
Regardless of if it's a soundbite or not. Still a very, very dumb idea to be honest. It pretty much craps on the British history. Do you see any other athletes actually wanting the same thing, or is it Lewis being pretty silly again?
Either I'm missing something, or the FF1800 in my install is bugged, whenever I shift up from neutral to frist, bang it stalls, I can go backwards, just not forwards.
ideas?
EDIT: Duh, I forgot to use the clutch. Wow I'm smart.
Now for an actual Q. Anyone know of any good skinpacks for the cars?
I wound up strapping on a 1000L fuel tank, 4 liquid engines and 6 SRBs. Made it into a pretty screwy 'orbit', but the main thing is...it hung in said orbit until the fuel ran out. Success! I shall call it...Wheatley
I usually just go with one. Great, more SAS modules means more power...which means more modules which....you know the rest, finish it for me
I can't go TOO overboard on power else it runs at a slideshow, I managed to get 100 SRBs on and it ran at....about 0.01 FPS, then rocketed (no pun) up to 100 when they exploded en masse. Only got to 10k too.
Yeah I can't get over 150 km/s...What am I doing wrong? You guys are throwing about 1km/s, I'm only getting 1/10th of that...do I just need a LOT more powah? I've been using Sunday Punch's mods (like the 4 liquid engines and nuke engines...those just love to go kaboom however....)
If I go for more power though the rocket goes out of control, if I go for control I can't get above 8k.
Stupid idea IMO. F1 doesn't need, either from a safety or an asthetic point of view, closed cockpits. As said how would drivers get out in case of fire, or a rollover. Or being nose first into a tyre barrier, unless the FIA mandates ejector seat-type technology for the canopy, which itself would cause issues.
I noticed in that vid that the canopy itself shattered, surely that's an added danger as well as deflecting the wheel? If a wheel got deflected into the stands and hit (or worse) a fan, there'd be a huge backlash. I can't help but feel F1's going the wrong way about this.
