You should always use the right paddle for the right action.
Kidding aside, yes, you are right.
1. Turn off autoshifting! :slap:
2. Assign shift up to the right paddle on your wheel.
3. Assign shift down to the left paddle on your wheel.
4. Use the right paddle to shift up.
5. Use the right paddle to shift down.
6. If you want to go into reverse, just keep downshifting.
If you're any good, you won't ever need to use reverse.

10-20 lap races don't seem particularly "realistic." Although, there may be a slim chance no one will fall asleep with races so short. Very slim.
Any relation to Conan?
Nice job, Andy. Welcome to the club.

New track tools for all of the games from this dev (GP-Bikes, Kart Racing Pro, World Racing Series).

Online racing is the focus of LFS. Try that instead.
I did the 16HR race at FE4R in the FZR.
FE4 isn't a bad track, regardless of the car. FE4R by comparison is a bloody nightmare in any car.
Yep, I think some distinction must be made.
Way I see it, there are two definitions to the words "hard" or "difficult" when it comes to car & track combos.
1. Attempting to go fast easily results in a loss of control. The combo may be hard to learn yet easy to master, but in many cases it will be hard to master too.
2. It's easy to keep from losing control and at least get around without incident, but you'll be damned if you ever get close to the WR (i.e. easy to learn, hard to master).
Might as well put "Oxymoron" on the side.
I checked the seasonal weather averages for Edinburgh. Average high is around 65F in July and August. Even at 5 or 10F degrees warmer than that, there is still plenty of airflow to keep you cool enough to not sweat, so long as you're not wearing winter gear.
I don't think it gets warm enough in Scotland for sweatiness to be an issue.
I fell in love instantly, but also had more than my fair share of mishaps, mostly from being stupid or a little too aggressive. To date, over 7 years of riding, I've crashed a motorcycle 14 times between the street and track. Motorcycles are very unforgiving of lapses in judgement. I've gotten road rash from not being properly geared up and also broke my collar bone in a particularly bad racing incident. Wearing proper gear mitigates these risks to some extent.
As for conditions, riding in the rain isn't as hard as you might think. I've ridden hard on a soaked racetrack on sparsely treaded race tires and only got into trouble when I got a little too aggressive. Being smooth is key any time you're on the bike, but particularly in the wet. On the street, you just have to watch out for surfaces that are particularly slippery in wet conditions (e.g. metal, leaves, paint).

You'd be surprised.
My state is the most densely populated in the US, with some notoriously poor drivers. When I started riding at age 18 on my little 250, my dad gave me some advice:
"The cars are out there to kill you. Ride accordingly."
This holds true anywhere, too, not just New Jersey.

"McDonald's required franchises to serve coffee at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C). At that temperature, the coffee would cause a third-degree burn in two to seven seconds."
EDIT: Beaten. :P
Eric's right. Your bitching is not at all constructive.
Why all the whining about a FWD shitbox?
Maybe the sky is falling, but not for lack of updates. It's competition. Competition in the sim racing market has increased since S2's release. GTR2 was not competition for LFS, but iRacing is.

ScaViEr = Scawen (Roberts), Victor (Van Vlaardingen), Eric (Bailey)
Scawen = coder
Victor = support/music/web stuff?
Eric = content (cars, tracks, textures)
I think there was a running joke some years ago that Eric didn't exist. I seem to recall Scawen describing him as shy, perhaps even reclusive. There is a group photo floating around the interwebs from around the time S1 was released, although it may have been around the time S2 was released. Figure at least 5 years ago.

From the California penal code with regards to the use of deadly force in the home:
"...resident held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury..."
AFAIK, this is a stipulation to the use of deadly force in a lot of states in the US, mine included, if not all of them.
In other words, if a guy comes in, totally unarmed, and you're a big guy fully capable of defending yourself, you can't use deadly force (e.g. firearms). If you're old and frail, you can pretty much feel free to open fire. If the intruder has a gun, it doesn't matter who you are.
This also means the resident cannot fire upon a fleeing intruder, because the intruder is no longer a threat. One cannot reasonably fear someone who is attempting to flee.

C2D E8400, 6GB RAM, GTX480, Win7 64-bit
Even with everything turned off/down, including shadows, it still runs like crap. The recent patches did nothing to fix it for me.
Basically looks like this:

This game is an absolute stutter-fest for me, even with a GTX480 (latest drivers too).
MW2 is butter smooth.
