Wow. Wasn't expecting that this morning!

Not sure what they expect to see from him though. Worst car on the grid, and he has no experience driving it. How can he do any better than last? And what will that prove?

So what if vettel dominated, the rest of the race was close.

Webber and Alonzo could have gone either way if Webber didn't pit early.

And the battle in the mid field was right down to the wire. I can remember cars ever finishing this close together to be honest. They can't make the field any more even than it is now.

If anything I'd probably want them to change back to the old point system.

Look at the reverse angle in this video:

That tyre wall sticking out would have made it very hard for maldonado to leave room - I doubt you could get two cars through there.

Maldonado should have defended the apex earlier, Hamilton probably shouldn't have tried the pass there.

Same with the massa move. Even at full lock hamilton went too wide after the apex for two cars to fit:

In both cases for hamilton to make the pass, the other guy had to let him get in front before the corner...wasn't going to happen!

Thats twice in two races Kobayashi has had an early puncture and finished 10th isn't it?

And people talk about Perez getting Massa's seat!?

I can't believe Kobayashi is not at the top of everyone's most wanted list.

Quote from Keling :

Tyre heating and cooling

As the tyre model is completely different, both in the contact patch (frictional effects) and also the way the tyre reacts to loads (deflection depending on air pressure and sidewall stiffness) the old tyre heating system no longer worked properly. So we have been trying new things, with some success, but at this time there are still noticeable issues that need to be sorted out. We found it impossible to simply use the old heating model with some adjusted figures as we had hoped. Some more real updates are needed to get the heating and cooling of tyres right.

Sounds to me like Scawen is simply trying to get the old(current) tyre heating system to work with the new tyre model, in which case no there wont be any changes to the way the tyres heat up and cool down!

They should include Lynce's Revolution Pack as a official addon

I second that. The reflections alone from the 2010 Pack are a massive improvement over the normal ones.

Was just messing around with the bloom mod abit :|

That's nice dude. Mine is looking similar:

THey look awesome dude!

I'll throw them on tonight

Quote from legoflamb :

mdmx, you are right about realistic FOV, but I think you have one screen FOV backwards. If the FOV is really small, then the sense of speed is not very good. To get a sense of speed, the FOV needs to be as high as possible (for one monitor) so that the peripheral vision can see more of what is going by on the sides ie. trees, fence, wind turbines etc. Therefore, if the FOV is small, then less can be seen in peripheral vision, making sense of speed diminish.

I think he is referring to the phenomenon of the car feeling very slow when you have the FOV set at a realistic setting. The reality is that when you are driving in a real car, things do not pass by very quickly at all. It is the g-forces that make you feel the speed, and that is something that is difficult to simulate.

In order to compensate you have to reduce the FOV to give you a sense of speed.

I have quite a large FOV with my setup (27" monitor with 2x24" on the sides). I can set this up so that the FOV is completely realistic but for me there is no sense of speed at all, so I have to reduce the FOV down again.

Quote from bunder9999 :

when you click multiplayer, there is an option marked "window while connecting", it always resets itself every patch.

does it still act funny with it off?

That was it, thanks

Enjoying the new layouts on NDR!

One bug for me though. The Multiplayer Host screen switches to windowed mode when I click on Multiplayer from the main menu, and the clickable host names are not lining up correctly.

For example when you click on a host to join it, it actually opens up the server below the one you clicked on.

Clicking the maximise window button does nothing, as does f4.

I use SoftTH and a res of 5760x1080 so that may have something to do with it. It has only appeared with this patch though.

Well I did it!

1:13:82. In the end the difference was made up hitting the apex on the last corner better, and I think I was short shifting a lot of the time!

Great thanks for that.

Looks like you are sliding it a lot more than I do.

Need to stay in 4th for turn 6 as well which I haven't been doing...

This is my FBM Blackwood setup.

My current PB is 1:14:07, and I am starting to think that maybe this setup can't go any faster.

Could I please ask people to try this setup and see if you can break 1:14.

If so could you please post the replay so I can see how you did it!

Thanks in advance!

Jumped on there last night for some hot lapping (AU time)

I love the pit lane exit cones

And having the racing line off is a lot more fun.

Looking forward to racing people with similar equipment.

I'm not your mate, buddy !

I'm not your buddy, guy!

The secondary shouldn't matter cause it doesn't do any processing. I just use my onboard geforce 9300.

My bloom is unchanged as well so I don' think it is that. But maybe try switching off the AllowAntialias under [Global].

Also try an earlier version of Softth like 2.01.

Otherwise I reckon it has to be the resolution.

Just try setting them all to the same to see what happens.

Hey mate,

It would be great if you can keep it running, even if people aren't racing there, just for the server records.

Even if I cant get a race I might start hot lapping there, just so I am confident that my PBs and rank are done against people with the same equipment

I'll check my config tonight dude and see if anything sticks out.

Are you trying to run 1600x1200 in the middle and 1024x768 on the sides?

Do all 3 screens work when you disable bloom?

Quote from =Wolf=[NO] :

Sorry for bump, but has anyone been able to get bloom work with softth?

The latest alpha test version of softth only use one file(d2d9.dll), is there any way of combining the two awsome mods?

Yep its working for me dude.

The enbseries.ini file has a proxy section at the top which lets you load another dll:

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=0
InitProxyFunctions=0
ProxyLibrary=

Just enable it by changing the 0 to a 1, and then rename your softth dll and list it under proxy library. Something like this:

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=1
InitProxyFunctions=0
ProxyLibrary=d3d9_softth.dll

Since I am running SoftTH I can't alt tab to start the program (it crashes, different story).

Can i just pick one of the dds files and replace the original with the one i like?

Ferrari modifies car label after Ford complaint

Is this what lawyers do when they get bored?

dude this shiz is awesome! well done!

too bad we can't do this with every car, cause the fz5 needs them badly

I'd think twice about the case.

I have the SG05 and its a POS.

The built quality is poor with sharp edges and the case not fitting together well. It rattles like a mofo from the hard drives and there is very little space to fit things in.

There is no sound insulation at all as the walls are just a piece of aluminium with ventilation holes cut in them.

The cube form factor also isn't as practical as you'd think. The case is still wide and high. I got totally fed up with the noise from mine and bought a p180 - total opposite of a small pc. Much happier tho!

I also built a slimline HTPC based on the ML02 and I am very happy with that. It is almost silent and the slim form very practical for a home theatre unit: http://www.digitek.net.au/2009/10/silverstone-ml02-htpc/
