Quote from Luke.S :

Screw DX9 we need DX10

Skipping DX9 would be a good idea if DX10 wasn't only available on Vista.

Quote from zeugnimod :

A new car isn't a "small" update.

My thoughts exactly.

Quote from _--NZ--_[HUN] :

I think I found a bug in the Driver menu, see attachment. Version Y22.

It's an old bug. The driver is drawn some distance away from the camera which can sometimes cause some in-game objects to be drawn in front of it if they are closer to the camera.

Can i use that as an avatar ?

I have to admit I didn't make it, I snatched it from another forum.

Quote from AndroidXP :

But they are smaller than BMP and have no image quality loss like JPG. That's why I said an option would be ideal, so it could carter for all needs

Sure they are smaller, but it doesn't really help. You still need to convert them so you might as well keep the BMPs.
Maybe have an option for JPGs, so you can have small files if you don't need perfect quality.

Quote from frokki :

Or even better, a .png! (lossless compression)

PNGs would still be quite large and would need a conversion to JPG if you planned to use them on the web. PNGs are not very good at images with a lot of non-solid surfaces like screenshots from games.

Went there once (in 03). Didn't really see the point of it. Basically it was the same as gaming on the Internet at your home, except there were tons of other people who played loud obnoxious music all the time around you.
It's more fun to have a lan party with few of your friends..

I went ahead and bought this game too. So far I have quite enjoyed it, I quite like the combat system.

Why don't you go onto the cruise forum site to ask, i would give the link but not sure if allowed to post links to other sites on here. PM ME

I am pretty sure you are allowed to post links and if you want to give a link with pm, I am pretty sure you should pm him instead the other way around

C++/C and Java are the two most popular languages, so if you want to work in the coding business better start learning one of them, preferably both. C++ is a bit harder to learn, because it has more direct handling of the memory.If you just want to program as a hobby, it doesn't matter what language you choose that much.

I would probably recommend trying out C# too. Yes, you have to install that 200MB package to run .NET programs, but is quite nice language to program in.

Also if you choose C++, VB or C# get Visual Studio, it is the best tool for coding. You can get the Express versions for free from http://www.microsoft.com/express/.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Hm... Well, we can try it anyway.

Ok. Thanks

Asked around on #aoc irc channel. The I should be able to play with the early access client (downloading that right now), but it also seems that I wouldn't be able to play in Europe servers with your key

No need for DVDs, I should be able to download the client.

I am thinking of buying this game, but I am not sure yet.
A guest pass could help me decide

Quote from AndroidXP :

"No longer welcome" is a temporary ban. "Banned" is a lifetime one.

I thought Demo racers get "No longer welcome" and licensed users get "Banned". In the ban itself there is no difference.

IIRC Some real F1 driver said that they often drove qualifications without the TC because it was faster. It's more like a fail safe and provides stability and consistency.

Quote from Gekkibi :

Wait a second. That does look too familiar. Are you from Tampere or Pirkkala? Don't know for sure, but that picture freshes some memories (Probably a faulty ones, but never the less)...

It's in Jyväskylä

Here is mine

God anyone?

The demo servers are right in the mix in the list. The servers are not differentiated like that anymore. All servers are the same now. If your license meets the car/track/slot requirement of the server you can join.

1. I am for legalization of drugs
2. I love to excersize
3. I like to eat really really spicy/hot foods
4. I am addicted to reading several internet forums, but I rarely post
5. I always do stuff in the last possible moment, sometimes later

Quote from Reese :

I don't know if this is a known bug but..

It's an old "bug".

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

At Z, all previous versions should be locked from connecting the master server. Everybody should be on the same patch...It's really just demo driftorz who are still using old patches because they want the XRT...which IMO is cheating and shouldn't be allowed

Let them have their fun. It's a small minority anyway..
