Here's a great story, a friend bought Vista Ultra, installed it and after a great deal of trouble(wouldn't recognise his mic for one) went on Windows Update and guess what? 70mb of updates, that's what! That's two days after its public release! For God's sake!

That's no better than simple full on wrecking. You'd be sinking to their level, plus sneakiness.

That's more like it. I'll give that a go myself. Thanks for pointing it out.

In your setup.cfg set these timings.
/rstmin=240
/rstend=240
This at least prevents restarts until 4 minutes into the race. By which time most restart junkies have given up. This also stops voting for restarts while some poor bugger is trying to finish.

Here's one. I would like to see a server option for a pitting window. I know pitting on the last lap has been effectively knocked on the head but infuriatingly, you can still pit on lap one. The way I see it pitstops have the function of hopefully, taking a driver out of his 'groove'. This is made redundant if they're going to pit on lap1. I'd make the window laps 4-6 on a ten lapper. That would make for some great pitlane action as well.
Obviously if you pit outside the window you'd be penalised in the usual way.

Until this evening I had the 'shorting out' hit when someone left the pits. I upped the sound lag slider from 05 to 010. Et voila! No more join lag or sound hit.

Quote from ajp71 :.... I have stopped doing this for people where I've taken them out in the first place because they just don't know the track/are braking ridiculously early, I think in this case a lot of people would prefer not to have the pointless pressure and risk of being repassed again.

This seems to be going away from righteous indignation about being hit in the ass and over to justifying hitting someone in the ass! As an experienced driver, which you obviously are, the onus is on you, with the greater skill, to avoid hitting anyone whether he's a n00b or simply a slower man.
Don't take this personally ajp71. This goes for us all. At the end of the day, if you hit someone in the rear, it's your fault!

Quote from frokki :

Being fast doesn't mean you can be an ****. Racing is a non-contact sport. You can't kick anybodys leg in foootball if he doesn't play as well as you do...:arge:

Had one of those on tonight and the same bloke last night. He took me out on the same corner, same situation two nights running. The first night I was mad but restricted myself to mumbling in my beard. The second night....Banned! The stupid thing is, he was very fast and could have taken me after the S's (WE1) It's the pig ignorance that gets up my nose.

Quote from mrodgers :Hey! Good for you Kev! Glad to hear you are still sticking with it. Man, I just have such a weak willpower to start the attempt to quit.

I should probably start reading this thread daily.

Maybe if you called cigarettes 'fags' it would help, When I was in California many moons ago, I got some strange looks when I said I was going to have a fag! Can't think why.

When I come to Finland I have to drive with the shifter on the 'wrong' side. It takes about 20 minutes to get used to it and a couple of days for it to feel natural. Don't be so negative.

Quote from thisnameistaken : I don't know what to do instead of smoking. I'm used to having those five minute breaks for a fag every hour or so and now I'm not doing it, so that's a bit weird.

But yeah, the revelation is that I literally don't want a fag, unlike yesterday where I came in here wanting a fag so badly that I bit peoples' faces off for suggesting there was anything wrong with smoking.

A good tip is to say to yourself "If I smoked, I'd have a cigarette right now" every time you feel the need. The intense craving fades, and you're back on track! Keep at it, you'll feel as smug as hell in a few years. I know most people buy their cigarettes off the black market, but £5 a packet! :eek:

Excellent work with just one observation. The background textures are now too sharp. I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong but eventually twigged it. I reverted to the old ones and the background is not 'in yer face'. Apart from some subliminal advertising, (500 servers and STCC) a top class job

I would like to see the sequence of repairs whilst making a pitstop changed from 'Minor damage-Major damage' to 'Major damage-Minor damage'. You've no idea how distressing it for my wife to hear a grown man scream at his monitor; 'For God's sake! Leave the scratches and fix the bloody suspension!':banghead:

Happy new year to all the clean drivers out there.

Push to talk may work for the people you're on TS with though. Have a thought for them.
It's not the FF he's talking about I guess, it's the whizzing gear noises right? I've often pondered taking mine apart and applying some nylon type grese. (If there is such a thing)
