Alonso's out of it now. If it happens to Alonso could it happen to Massa?

Quote from Jertje :

This was actually an argument somewhere in the iRacing forums. No kidding.

What little faith I had in people just went out the window

I don't get it at all, attacking a marathon.

I also don't get my thought process on hearing about it, it went from

Oh God there's been a terrorist attack

to

Oh God the media's going to go into a feeding frenzy over this. (and the global media did)

That's the thing I don't understand, the media's way of covering the bombings. Is the BBC really that untrusted in the US? I cited the BBC as a source for the bombings to somebody and got shot down for rumor mongering and conspiracy theories. When they were quoting from the very same BBC page that I was.

Nationwide's a joke, why exactly are Cup guys in top equipment alowed to run week in, week out?

Yeah it brings sponsor money, but....

I now have a new problem. I got a capsule into a decent low stable orbit.

Problem? No engine. No fuel.

Should I send a disposable plane up to go nudge that capsule down or leave it up there floating?

Quote from Funnybear :

Been putting a few more hours into Simcity, and it is getting very infuriating. I've ditched Ind for just purely Com and Res, but I still can't get the traffic sorted and I've run out of power and room and I've a never ending need to upgrade sewage and water (which keeps running out) and I don't have the room, and I can't upgrade my City hall to get mass transit because I can't get the people, and I don't have the room and even if I start a neighbouring city I can't garantee it's going to support this one properly and I don't have any room and I can't get enough tourists in because there is no room for an airport and I DON'T HAVE ANY ROOM!

It is very pretty though.

You're lucky.
I got a major industrial cluster that pretty much keeps my city afloat (13% taxes ftw?), Com/Res intermixed everywhere else. Hospital and clinics covering the city, got police and fire covering the city too.

Yet I'm struggling. Maybe it's the fact I built my police station on a radioactive area (the ****....HOW is an area randomly radioactive and why didn't it tell em before the meteor shower?!), or maybe it's the fact that I can't seem to get a grasp on education (I got 3 schools maxed out fully, but nobody wants to go to high school >.<), or maybe it's EA sucking the fun out of it.

It's oddly compelling though, I'll admit that. I just wish I hadn't built my power plant over the only oil deposit in the city.

Oh and I GOT NO ROOM FOR BUILDING! Sims are whining at me to lower taxes, I can't because my city will go bankrupt, I can't demolish industry to zone res as that's the heart of my economy, I can't get rid of the sewage plant I put down....

I think I've lost this city.

Quote from shorty22 :

skin and some setups

So, darace, is setup sharing and skinning now illegal?

If it is then Victor's started skin threads for every car, there's setup sharing built right into LFS

Quote from logitekg25 :

heres what i did.

im not sure if you are old enough for a real car, but i used to be an lfs junkie also...

got a car, joined the appropiate forum, found the cheap but worthwhile things you can do to it. worked on it day in and day out. got a job, paid for more expensive things, drove to all my friends houses more often, made more friends, designated drove everywhere every time without fail, and got even more friends, and everyone loves my recently fixed up car!

now i dont have time for lfs.

Do I expect a Logicar saga now?

That's actually a very logical thing to do. Who are you and what'd you do with the real Logitek?

Given that the NRA is sponsoring the Texas race, there's going to be some high caliber action with drivers keeping a grip on the points with their sights set on barelling through the pack. Supposedly they're going to advertise the race in magazines, but somebody's going to clip another driver and cause a wreck, it's liable to be the guy starting shotgun on the field. Actually, no, it's liable to be a revolving group of S&P guys trying to fire their teams up and going both barrels to get into the race and show what they're made of and be in range of the point cutoff.

I'm done punning now

But it does have proprely modelled turboprops (FSX's turboprop modelling is....strange, being nice. Broken, according to the big payware people), so that's a plus, AND a free demo, and stuff FSX don't have.

Six discs of XPlane here. Now anyone wanna point me to good addons? (Or, can I get, say, a fully working FMC that can fly a route in XPlane like I can in FSX payware?)

Once again JGR engines are failing....

Sucks to be in JGR right now

sleep talk recorder

Used this some times now, and after I had the filters set up properly I really managed to capture some of my sleep talking...

(In a foreign language though it seemed...)

Great tool also for proving your gf is snoring....

All I got to say to that is...

Remember back in 1997 NASCAR did away with the cameras then brought them back in 1998

No, the disc version I got is the first Flatout, bought it new. Flatout 2 is UC on Steam (I think), anyone up for some MP fun?

Quote from Amynue :

FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction wasn't Flatout. It was a pile of shit made by the worst racing game developer in the world - Team6.

Flatout 2....4.99 on Steam

Flatout 3...24.99 (or 29.99)

Anyone want to explain that one? I may just buy FO2 for the sheer fun of it. If I do, who is up for some multiplayer fun? Shamelss plug here but GassyMexican's FO2 vids are great, he's done the stunts and somehow managed to fail and be hilarious at it.

EDIT: Found my Flatout 1 discs too, I used to be abe to ace the high jump when I played it

Flatout 2 was the bomb, playing that online with people.....fun,, FUN!

Flatout 3...Meh. Didn't do anything for me, I'd rather see Flatout 4 be like 2 in terms of fun

iRacing? Steam?

I'm going to sit back and await the 'ZOMG THIS SUCKS' flood of posts in the Steam Discussion hub IF it gets Greenlit. (Don't Valve have some kind of rule about how you have to buy any DLC through Steam though? I remember that being the reason why the later EA titles got pulled, surely iR would fall foul of that rule IF it is still in place?), I've tried it, not my cup of tea, but I'm not going to sit there and whine and moan on the discussion hubs (which IMO should never have replaced the User Forums).

I will laugh if iR gets onto Steam and the discussion hubs are filled with people complaining about iR, maybe that's just my warped sense of humor, but...

Quote from Mustangman759 :

Yea because the drivers are willingly going to not go for the win and thats what the fans want to see! Great solution (facepalm)
I guess cornys is referring to edward's flip, however that was pretty well maintained, plus he was caused by carl's blocking. As we saw weeks later you can flip over at any track when carl forced brad to flip. Thats the old car, however if it happens like in nw where the rear gets lifted it can happen again.

No if the cars are more spread out (be it different power levels or tire wear or whatever) then simply by the laws of physics, any crash is going to be smaller than having everyone in one giant pack. That's just simple logic and science for you.

He hit the top of the wall, why not either move the fence forward to the front of the SAFER barrier, or raise the wall height more?

EDIT: Okay, what the F?

Apparently, now the cars are so safe drivers can survive anything? Some people on the replacement SPEED forums are just stupid with their mindsets.

Quote from Rappa Z :

I agree with TFalke, essentially. Yes, it's a shame that people got hurt, but the catch fence did it's job by ensuring that no one died.

I guess they'll reinforce the openings in the fence and then they fan will be completely safe again.

That's a stupid line of thinking though for if the fence did its job, then nothing would have gone into the stands.

I thought of Geoff Bodine's 2000 Truck crash when I saw the Busch wreck, and the fence there got torn down, as it did in 87 at Dega.

IMO, they need to spread the cars out more, rather than having one giant pack.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

- Lack of mouse steering option is puzzling. Keyboard controls are there, so it's not because 'too arcade', and nKP has supported mouse steering for a long time now.
- What's with the automatic clutch??
- Please for the love of Pete add a 'lock UI' option for mousers (when mouse support is added). Currently it's *extremely* easy to accidentally open the menu, click something or drag something during normal steering and shifting operations.

Mouse steering is being worked on, it didn't make it into the preview (according to Kunos), but it will be in for v1.0

Did you start it via Asetto Corsa launcher or via bmwe30m3's method?

Apparently, if you crack it, it's designed to not work with a wheel, if you launch it with the launcher and new session, it works normally.

Quote from bmwe30m3 :

I thought the same, and I downloaded and installed it.
Screw you guys, i'm going home.

Okay, the system isn't very smart, even I managed to crack it.
Hint: go to the game folder, click on ACS.exe instead of assetocorsa.exe

Obligitary :bananadea here.

I like it so far, it's feeling good

I got told this earlier in a debate on FB:

If this was any racing sim, Kyle and CE would both get lifetime bans by the admins of those sims for dirty racing. Yet it happens in a real car, on a real (short) track, no punishment. Sometimes, reality doesn't work the way you think it does. That finish happened in reality, would it happpen in a sim without people whining and bitching and arguing over it?
