Not sure if you have seen it, but 18th March at Donington Park is the official media Launch day for the BTCC and the best thing, it's free to enter from 12:30pm with the cars taking to the track around 13:00pm

If he was in the US, that would Electrocute the f&^%er but that is to good for him. Lethal Injection, again to good for him. He needs to be made to suffer like the families of the victims, but guess what, under the Human Rights Act, out of Brussels's this won't happen

Apparently he has a right to live, and be treated fair....

I understand that if you are based in Germany, there is a problem with you viewing these movies due to a copyright issue, although this doesn't occur in any other country.


There is no copyright issue, because if you read the copyright ACT, it is only if you "make money from it" and nobody that is making a movie about a game they enjoy, is not making money.


There is plenty of sites, if you Google it, that can protect your location. I am not sure if I can mention the direct links here, so I won't. Never been banned since the day I joined, don't fancy starting now, but if you don't want to anybody to see your "a$$" you would want to "hide my" so try looking up the bold bits.

Just in case people missed the other video's, like me...here is the links from my Live For Speed Movie YouTube Channel

If that was me, I would give him a Spectrum with loads of games on tape......and no tape drive....then see how mentally challenged he gets

Hope you don't mind Jen's but in case people don't want to download the full 299mb version because of internet speed or bandwidth I have posted your video on my LFS Movie Chanel on Youtube.

This is what I consider one of the BEST promotional LFS video's around, although he used commercial music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAvj0iY1Zig

You have the talent to really push LFS in to the public domain, and I hope you contact the DEVS with your talents and get this recognized !!!. It's what is needed for LFS as a whole.

Yours is not only on par, it has reached a new level of "making me want to race" and this is what its all about, making somebody that doesn't have LFS stand up and think, WOW, I need to try this Sim as well as just enjoying what you do, which you clearly do.

Sorry for the speal, but I am not one just to say "yeah nice Vid" if it is something special, and yours is

Well that's it from me, I am going to enjoy watching this over and over, and like I said, looking forward to your other installments

1st Impressions is :eye-poppi:bowdown::jawdrop:

This video is truly one of the BEST that has come out of late, its as simple as that. Truly a fantastic job you have done there

Couple of pointers to hopefully enhance this:

a) Include other cars, XFR/UFR as there is lots of shots of single seaters

b) Try not to include collisions ( crashes ) as LFS doesn't have a a crash model and this could put potential people off ( I will explain more in a moment ) you know, car parts flying everywhere, some people want to see this....

Apart from the above, this is really a true top notch movie for LFS, a real promotional tool and this should be used to promote LFS in the Public Domain.

The only problem you will have is you either, have to write the music yourself, or get a commissioned piece from Vic, but OMG, this has Joecool Talents written all over it ( and he was the master of LFS Video's ) before he turned to the Dark side ( the MAC LOL )

But Jens, hats off to you, this is truly fabulous and looking forward to more of you work

Fordie

PS - Now watching again.......I am loving it

Quote from heson :

Studies show that headsets does not limit the distraction at all. The important thing is to prioritize so that the conversation is never prio 1. Driving with one hand might make gear shifts clumsy, but it does not make you lose attention of the road any more than talking with a headset. Talking to someone in the car is different as you can signal to the other party to stfu when the traffic situation needs it.

Texting on the other hand is hard to do without looking elsewere than the road ahead.

Although I agree with you on headsets, there is no mention of headsets in use in the news article, therefore he was using his mobile, with "one hand on the wheel".

Its illegal people, when are people going to remember this. I see it all the time on the M25, people in 4x4 or executive cars on the phone, and I think, you knob !!, but thats my personal opinion

Fordie

Oh and one more....

Can Arsene opt for a 3-0 defeat and forfeit the game?????

#FifaExpert PMSL

That was on Twitter

Quote from Rappa Z :

I forgot there was an Arsenal game today. So did the team.

Let the unraveling begin.

Headlines for the papers....Gunner's Out Gunned, or the following: LOL

Arsen Half time team talk...Well that was bloody aweful LOL

When Sterling is on a Hatrick, you know your in trouble LOL

That aside, BTCC looks very good this year!

There is not excuse, who you are to be on the phone whilst driving. I spend hours on the road with my job, and if my Bluetooth has ran out of charge ( my wife moans like hell ) I don't answer my phone, its as simple as that.

Although a possible star in the making, he deserve's what he gets due to complete negligence

I got Rfactor free with my G27 wheel purchase and I have finally installed it, just to see what it is about.

I have downloaded the RealFeal plugin as recommended but I was wondering from anybody with experience, what is the mod's to have?

I did a little goggling, and I have got the V8 Aussie Mod ( very impressive ) and the FRR Clio Cup ( yet to test )

Mostly interested in closed wheel mods.

Cheers

Fordie

Not sure Bose, but for the G27 lights, you will have to "look down" hence taking your eyes off the road, ok for a split second, but for a nice to have, its more like a "bling" effect to see your LEDS light up.

Not taking it away from you Bose, I appreciate your hard work, but for me, and me personally, this is not a "must have" but a nice to have.

Mine works with RF and GT Legends..Do I look at them no, do I wait for the red light to come on to shift gear, no, its people watching me that notice it more, and they say, WOW your steering wheel lights up.

Then I let them have a go....and I ask, did you watch the lights on the steering wheel, they say no, how would I watch the road

Fordie

But...if you "use" your outgage for any other app, i.e LFS Sounds or CSR, these will still not work.

I spent time with Bose and still could not get mine to work, but I come to the conclusion, would I rather hear nice engine sounds or look down to LED's lighting up..its your choice

Fordie

I will quote KiDCoDEa when somebody asked..the following:

What's the difference between NFS and LFS ( Yes somebody actually asked it)

Reply was.....There is more calculations in LFS Tyre Physics than there is in the whole game of NFS....Classic

So the answer to your question......its very complexed

Fordie

Just to give you a comparison, I currently have the following:

Nivida G120 ( two monitors attached )
Onboard Intel HD 2550 ( Third monitor attached )
Using SoftTH

Full GFX ( except for AA, as SOFTTH doesn't like this ) I am getting around 40fps, which drops to 32fps with full online grid.

This is running 3 x 1600x900 resolution

I know 32 doesn't sound a lot, but it seems pretty smooth enough for my old eyes LOL

Fordie

Just a heads up, as it is a bug but not. If you use SoftTH and the LFS Patch, and you go to windowed mode when connecting ( I know who does this now ) LFS crashes back to desktop.

Also, the new patch doesn't work with the DX9.dll file for SoftTH. You still have to use the 1.08 version of SoftTH.

Just a heads up

Quote from Crashgate3 :

There's absolutely no reason you'd end up there though, even accidentally;

I did....I was looking for a Veterinary Practice but I made a wrong turn.......All I said was TURBO DON'T FAIL ME NOW

Fordie

if you do "venture" in to Manchester, I would advise you AVOID...Mosside. Even the Paramedics go with Police backup up there.

London, seriously, there is the London Eye, a big Ferris Wheel, the House of Parliament where they are paid to much money to do nothing, Madam Plastic Works, you get the idea, London Zoo, where the animals are under fed and look ill, Tower of London where you can see the crown jewels, not a nice sight considering she is 80 odd, and Tower Bridge....oh great, its a bridge that like the king...raises once in a while

Unless you hit the "real" country side, there is nothing to see in cities, unless you like Shopping and the hustle and bustle.

Visit Norfolk and go on the Norfolk Broads on a boat and more up next to a pub..now your talking LOL

There is my round up of the UK

Has anybody tested this with SOFTTH and Triple Monitors yet?

Hi Chaps,

Sorry I am working away this week, currently in a dodgy hotel in Wolverhampton, then I move down to Guildford tomorrow and until Friday, back for the weekend.

Thanks for the heads up regarding events, but aren't they S2. We are playing around with S1 H7, so this is just a come along if you can meeting.

No Dawes, mine is OLD MEN RACING...we are not dead yet

Quote from felplacerad :

Working great. Where is everyone?

We all came looking for you but could not find you. We all set in the meeting room, until we decided to go back to mine. I think I found out the reason for my laggy connection, somebody was streaming video via the ipad
