Thirding this. I tried to play with a gamepad at first, and it was doable, but I wouldn't dare try it again. I'm sorry, it's simply just not as fun without a force feedback wheel IMO. I agree that cheap is better, but you're just cheating yourself if you don't get a wheel.
No pressure though.
I pretty much only shift-s if my vehicle is destroyed. I've never spun out before (
), but if I did I imagine I would just hold still until any traffic has passed and I know I can get back up to speed or at least out of the way before anyone else comes -- unless I spun out right by the edge of the grass, facing the grass; then I would probably get off the track until it's safe. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against shift-s. I can't help but smile when I get on the podium simply by being one of the few that made it an entire race without crashing out and hitting shift-s.
I'm not really that fast hehe

Happy (LFS) birthday to you too!

Press F9 and look at the bottom middle part of the screen IMO
Really weird, but fun.
Lol omg, that was awesome! I've driven away after rolling before, but never that... perfectly! I can hear you saying, "yeah, uh... I meant to do that!" Nice one.It'd be like wearing two different socks.
It usually doesn't make a difference unless they're drastically different specs.
EDIT: nice avatar btw ;-)

You got two for free, meaning you have three now? I'm in a similar boat; having three monitors and just a a double head graphics card. I can't afford a parahelion or whatever that's called or a TripleHead2Go, so I don't really know what else to do with all the extra junk. One of mine is an old LCD, and there was a link to a pretty nifty DIY large screen projector using an LCD panel and an overhead projector on this forum a few days ago, so I'd attempt that if I could score a projector.
The fresnel lense idea is a good one too. There are a couple good guides on here and the RSC forum about that. With CRTs that's probably your best bet for a cheap "3d" effect. You'll still probably need special equipment to hook up more than too monitors though

Good idea. Might look better against a black background?
Yeah, they can hardly lose money on tabs that have never been published, which is probably the bulk of what the tab sites provide

illepallKeep working on it Shaun. You should get the CMX viewer from the main liveforspeed site so you can see what it looks like while you work on it.
I don't know about you guys, but I'll sport this one next time I drive the XRG. You'll be wishing you were the one to start the fad.

The one I've had most trouble with lately is the uphill chicane in WE1R in the FOX. No matter what I try, 8 times out of 10 I end up spinning out towards the end of the exit where the track drops away a little unless I take it really slowly. I guess it could be a setup issue though.
On the contrary, ghost mode is great when you don't have a proper internet connection. Thanks for the advice though?
I know what you did last summer....
@Hyperactive: wow that second one was pretty wild =-o
LX4 @ KY1. Fast forward to the start of the 6th lap then about 10 seconds in I get too low and lose control and end up hitting the inside wall. It launches me into the air and I do about 13 and a half spiraling revolutions like a perfectly thrown (american) football. There were two other people in the room at the time and we were all just, ":jawdrop: .......... wtf? :wow: :ices_rofl"

There are some good texture mods out there that I would redownload if I had to reinstall. I also couldn't live without Keygetys' Ghost mod -- I play by myself a lot.
Oh, I read this back when I was doing the upper echelons of GT4 licenses/missions.. ugh... bad memories. Great guide though.
So who is going to be the new star? Kimi? He's such a fuddy duddy ^.^
I think Michael's new job at Ferrari is going to be some kind of coach, mainly to teach Kimi how to interact with other humans or something. I'll miss seeing him race.

Pole Position, Atari 2600. Played that for quite a while before I realized the "pieces of a picket fence" that I was dodging around the track were actually other cars? I still have it, but both of my Atari's have a different problem with them. I wish I had the ability to put the two together and have one working one 
Spy Hunter, NES. Not exactly a racing game, but definitely one of my favorite driving a car fast games. Top down view, blow up the "spies," drive into the back of a semi truck to upgrade your weapons/oil slicks/smoke screens. Great game, played the hell out of it.
Grand Turismo 2, PSX. My first racing "sim." Loved it, especially after I got a cheapo Mad Catz wheel. I loved how it was so... difficult. I could tell people, "it's not a game, it's a sim."
I played that game so much, it's ridiculous. I had a lot of fun with GT4 too, but that was short lived as I then found LFS.
Mario Kart also gets an honorable mention. Not only was it a mega-fun racing game, it was probably the best multiplayer console game I've ever played. That kept me up many many nights at friends' houses and stuff back in the day. *sigh*

I watched the qualification session and also have to agree that the "blocking" penalty is ridiculous. Alonso was well ahead of Massa, which was obvious from the on-board shots, and he was certainly not lagging and forcing Massa to slow because he was rushing to the start/finish so he could do his last hot lap. Renault's telemetry shows that Massa never got within 93 meters of him. illepall I don't know about conspiracy theories, but it's certainly a very poor ruling on the officials' part. After Massa's pole/win at Turkey he said he wanted to do anything he could to help M. Schumaker get his (final) championship -- What a shame if the team is resorting to "tactics" like this to get the win. Do they think Michael's driving can't do it? I don't; he's a fantastic driver and I'm going to be sorry to see him leave the car. I think it would be awesome if he does win the championship in his last year, but not if the team is doing silly crap like whining about "blocking" and such.
Stupid me forgot to rewind the tape for my recording of the GP2/F1/GT this morning, so I missed it all! :slap: From what I've seen of the highlights though looks like I missed an interesting race. Too bad for Alonso's motor I would have liked to see him claw his way to the front despite starting way back there; though I guess it was probably a combination between running the new spec and presumably not tested as thoroughly engine and pushing it as hard as he must have been to get up to... what was it, 3rd?
Congratulations to Mr. Kubica; maybe Scawen's already gotten the Patch V BF1 to him or something?

Fabulous work Yamakawa. Looking forward to seeing this expanded.
I think it sounds great with the two sounds mixed; maybe not how a car with only one measly engine would really sound, but it does sound pretty cool!
Just to confirm: Yamakawa's work is unrelated to the videos posted early in this thread, other than inspired by them, right? I wonder what happened to the original project o.O
