Quote from Scawen :What is it with these words, where the capital letter is the second character?

rFactor

Very confusing, the capital letter should be the first letter of the name!

You're making a fundamental mistake here. You're confusing computer 'stylee' with English. Now do you see why you're confused? Don't worry though, it's an easy mistake to make.

Am I mistaken or did someone make a Dunlop texture for the tyre bridge. Damned if I can find it if they did. If they did, could some kind soul please point me in the right direction?

I would be pleased if I could tell one set from another! I find one set for all tracks (almost) and they are made mostly by you Bob,(excellent Easyrace) or TeamPotheads- Stoney. Saves a lot of head scratching.

Quote from ColeusRattus :It seems you have yet to taste Austrian Beer! Murauer Bier all the way

So many beers, so little time.

Quote from ColeusRattus : But Finnish women seem to be a little sturdier than Austrian ones, as this Foto (made at a students-pub in Turku, if I can trust my favourite ex-girlfriend) proves:

Now there's a man with STYLE!

This thread with get moved to 'Off topic' if we're not careful.

On the subject of Blue flags, I was on a server last night and fell foul of a front runner. I had info on luckily but was right on the entry point of a chicane. Nowhere to pull over to and BANG! Hit up the rear. At the end of the race I was rollocked for not leaping sideways out of the way of my Lord and Master. Hey ho.

The trouble with English beer is.......it tastes awful! Actually Finnish beer is the best. Lapin Kulta or Karhu.

lol. I used to drink Swan lager but you don't seem to be able to get it here anymore. That of course is/was the REAL imported Australian beer. Fosters is brewed in England now and could be any old shite! Besides, it was on offer and it got the job done
Flags etc.

Actually I find it hard to criticise S2 in general and I get a little irritated by the 'we want this and we want that' brigade. But...
I would love to see the introduction of marshalling flags as blue or yellow 'flags' which could be sized and positioned as you require. Having a text message flash up is a little arcadey as is having Stop & Go and Drive through in your face all the time. As I see it, you get a S&G when you leave the pit, if you don't remember to do the S&G you're DQed; easy.
Oh yes, the flags should be 'unhideable'. I like to run with all the information off only toggling it on occasionally to check laps etc. and as it is now 'Blue flag' message is hidden unless I hit my shift+f button

That what I want for Christmas.


P.S. 6 cans of Fosters went into the production of this post :drink:

Quote from poirqc :Hi, yesterday, i was hosting a game on aston historic with the XFG and XRG and everyone got disconnected near the end of the race. I wanted to appologized for wasting the great fight the top3 were having. I think i found what was making those huge lag spikes(and disconnect).

So thanx again to all those who joined, and don't worry about lag spike, it should be ok the next time you join.

Looks like I got out in time! You had a good bunch on there last night, unfortunately I just HAD to sleep. It was 3am here!

Quote from Garibaldi :Hi,
Does the above message mean I've been banned or what? I lost connection mid race having (as far as I know) caused no problems. Now I cannot get into that server but other servers are ok.
Cheers!

Perhaps they don't like Garibaldis. Try changing your name to Digestive.

Quote from AndroidXP :3rd place goes to, tristancliffe

2nd place goes to, tristancliffe

1st place goes to, tristancliffe - our lucky winner of this competition, closely followed by himself and himself.

That 3rd place was a bit pathetic! Must try harder next time.

When you start to make a skin do you ever think 'what the hell colour shall this one be?' Me too. This is the result.
Looks quite good on the track though. RAC_colourchart,jpg

Quote from al heeley :Well I have to say the worst set of races I come across are FO8 races, where people want all the power but can't control it well. 10 restarts per 10 lap race leaves me bored. F1 would be much worse than FO8 races, I reckon.

Jeez! I gotta admire your persistance. !0 restarts? If it runs to 3 restarts I'm outta there!

Quote from Nard :........... The only thing I hate about that is how they put so much pressure on you. I usually hold for those laps then just drive myself off the track like a noob.

lol, I can so relate to that.

This does work for LX4/6. Although when making the skins do the LX6 first because of the grills in the sides of the hood. Also, whatever you put on the back of an LX6 won't be seen on an LX4 because of the spare wheel.

EDIT: Just got there before me.

Quote from Hoellsen :Ask the author, which you should do anyways, if you edit their work.

I'm pretty certain he means edit the screenshot, not edit the skins.

I, and you all, have read countless threads like this one and they seem to boil down to the same thing: unattended publics suck!
If you go on servers such as dSRC or DMR and probably looooads of others you'll get nothing but good racing. So only join servers that have admins in attendance and have voting disallowed. This would prevent malicious banning and kicking. Also wreckers would be dealt with without a lot of kerfuffle. I suggest admins should be marked out with an (A) suffix, just look at the player list to see. Yes I do see that idiots will stick an (A) on their name, but nothing's perfect. The people we're trying to sort out probably don't read this forum so maybe they won't........ Who am I kidding!

Something to kick around anyway.
