Something I'd like to see would be, that when a race finishes and everyone has crossed the line, after a few seconds the game reverts automatically to either practise or qualifying. As it is, there's a lot of mooching around until someone decides to start a vote. It would be nice for there to be a definitive 'end' to a race.

Quote from TagForce :

The problem is not so much that he did it... It is how he did it...

What I find to be the most disappointing is WHY he did it. He goes on to show what a great driver he is by finishing 5th! (I still don't like the arrogant, cheating git! . I'd kick him off my server straight away)

Quote from tristancliffe :

.....As I've said I don't have the telemetry so I can't say where he braked, or his speeds....

But the stewards did. With the might and majesty of Ferrari and Schumacher to contend with, it seems unlikely they would have dished out the punishment they did without some pretty damning evidence. Even the Ferrari spokesman, Luca somebody, didn't seem to be as outraged as he should have been if it was a 'mistake'

I'll get me coat.

I have nothing to add to this thread, but I would like to say what a well argued discussion this is. A pleasure to read a thread that hasn't degenerated into a slanging match.

Carry on.

An' tumbleweed, don't forget tumbleweed. An' empty crisps packets an' an'....

Quote from bo-kristiansen :

I dont get it...
I havent changed any text on that one.

Odd. My apologies for the slur on your very capable English.

Quote from bo-kristiansen :

but nice that you notice things like that.

Is it? Maybe if I watched the road with as much concentration I'd drive a bit better!

Quote from bo-kristiansen :

I WAS thinking of adding a "i" to the "to let" sign though.

Don't we all!

Just to nip back to Bo's contribution.........Marvelous! My only disappointment is that the overhead road sign in SO, has reverted to 'City Center'. It didn't occur to me to back up my 'City Centre' one. (CTY_Logos2.dds) For the pedants among you.

The wonderful thing is they were taking the p*ss out of the whole sorry Eurovision mess! Everyone voted for them! SUOMI! SUOMI! SUOMI! :banana::banana::banana:

That'll get you through fine.

You're a very naughty boy. Take no notice of him, you'll end up with a smack in the mouth.

I'd say you've got it working perfectly. That's what happens, you knock the leve......It's no good, I can't go on.

It's amazing how often the old 'forced cockpit view' debate comes up. I run a GTL server with forced cockpit view and it's invariably full. I can recall maybe half a dozen times when someone has joined, said 'Oh no, cockpit view!', and left. This also applies to netKar Pro where you have no choice, cockpit or nothing! The same goes for driving aids, on Dead Men Racing (GTL) it's set to 'Professional' that is with NO aids at all. Only auto clutch allowed. Never hear a gripe though.

...too many. :tired:

If they were the only cigarettes you could buy in the UK NOBODY would smoke! I mean, who'd buy a cigarette called Cecil?

Grumpy old man hat on.
How many more threads are there to be about 'which bloody wheel should I buy?' There must be eighty of them! Read the forum for Pete's sake!
Grumpy old man hat off.

Quote from danowat :

Driving force pro, if you are feeling flush add a Frex kit and a Momo 11 wheel to it, then when the pedals go TU, get some others.

Dan,

As above but put a Sparco LN285 on it. It's ready drilled.

Downloading now!

Before FREX pedals I used a squash ball under the brake pedal. It fooled me!

Quote from mrbogeyman :

Anyway, as for the FREX stuff, I have also looked at it, but from what I recall the MOMO doesn't seem to be supported for the wheel upgrade

How can you NOT get one?

Cheap as chips now. I'm sick as a parrot, I got mine over a year ago when they were £100+ But it's still going strong.

I've got a real Sparco 285mm suede finish on mine. All I can say is if you're going to do a Frex conversion, which in my book is a 'must', get a 285mm wheel. You can get them from Demon Tweaks. I've recently gone over to 900° and it is FANTASTIC!
Fordie, I hope you were converted to cockpit view. Join the real sim drivers.

Quote from Scawen :

I had to implement this when someone wrote a program to check if several people were online. His program imitated the game, and sent several "user online" queries in extremely close succession, each requiring a text reply from the master server. And those bursts were repeated at regular intervals. He and his friends started using this program to see who was online and with just those few people, the master server was already being battered to some extent, giving out large rapid bursts of information every few seconds.

The master server is very important so I don't want it to be abused by "mates checking" sort of programs, or "list of games checkers" either. So I've had to set the time delay down a bit. You are allowed around 8 requests per minute, and that seems enough. It also stops people doing constant list of games refreshes, which can be quite pointless but the sort of thing you can do unconsciously while wating for something, which loads not only the master but also the hosts.

Anyway that's a different subject from allowing one admin to join a full host, which I have now noted as a request.

Therein lies the difference between LFS and GTL/GTR

This has got to be one of the best singles ads ever printed. It appeared in The Otago Daily Times. South Island NZ.

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE

Seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking girl who LOVES to play.
I love long walks in the woods, riding in your Ute, hunting, camping and Duck shooting, cosy nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call (03) 475-6420 and ask for Daisy.

Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Otago branch of the RSPCA about an 8-week old black Labrador retriever. Men are so easy.

I don't like to leave the house too much before 10-10.30am. Let all the office guys get off the street. Really hate it if I have to wotk past 1pm. I work for myself installing and selling garage doors and operators. So I can tell the boss to get stuffed!
