I believe u get sector times online as well as hotlapping, im sure of this, so a adon tool would be a waist of time as its allready there,

You only get a split 1 and a combined split 2 time though. He wants to know the individual times i.e. the time from split 1 to 2 and 2 to end of lap.

You may get this info in practice mode but I'm not sure.

You get them while in hotlap mode I think.

Quote from BrainBT :

I would like to know wich addon uses to give detailed times of different sectors of a track.
For example in AS2 I would like to know second sector time not by seeing the difference between 1st sector and final lap time

F1PerfView and AFS both give that information.

I'm not going to password tonights practice session as I think the numbers may be limited. Anyone is welcome so long as they are clean and considerate. 20:00GMT tonight on GFC server.

Quote from MR_B :

Evening all.

Today in my daily lessons in Uni we were told we have been donated a chassis, engine, transmission and brakes/wheels for an XJ220.

We've been given the task of getting this old queen back on the road. We've compiled a list of parts we need (pretty much everything I havent mentioned) for Jaguar to have a hunt around and find. In the meantime from hearing from them we have to research and find any information or sources avaliable about the construction and location of spares of this beast.

So, is there anyone in this vast community who has been in contact with the XJ220 and is there any knowledge or documents you could pass on to us students.

Ta.

Wish I could help mate but it's a bit high end for me

Maybe you can do what Jaguar promised they'd do in the first place and give it a 12 cylinder engine instead of the 6R4 6 cylinder turbo it ended up with.

GFC has a few entrants from that side of the pond. Races are every two weeks on Sundays. 20:00GMT means that the race wil start some time in the afternoon for those in the States.

Quote from Jakg :

Google is the worlds biggest ad company in the world - they run "Google AdSense" you often see on sites, and the "sponsored results" on Google cost a LOT believe me!

Doesn't cost much if you get your optimization right. The closer your content is matched to the keywords you bid for the less you have to bid to win.

I got 300,000 impressions and over 200 clickthroughs for just £20. The first half of the period I hadn't optimized properly so it can be a lot cheaper. What you have to do is create a page for the keywords you intend to bid for. Make sure the words are in the url, page title, name, keywords and content and the bids you make can be far smaller.

Quote from andybarsblade :

not only that but also when you get your car insurance it not only covers you but your passengers and that these days means alot, usualy when you crash a bike the only thing damaged or hurt is you and your bike

Damn good point that - never thought of that b 4

Quote from sinbad :

Nice pic, but don't give the impression that this type of "into the skid" steering is the same as "deflect the wheels to one side and bike will lean the other way" countersteering

I purposely wasn't commenting on the pic

Mate just sent me this piccy from Supermoto at Lydden totally by concidence!

Quote from Postman Pat :

It says it can't find Blackwood. Instructions say:

"Create a "smx" folder inside your "lfs\data" folder and place the contents of this zip file in that folder."

But there's already an "smx" folder. The "contents of the Zip" is folder "SMX_PTH_S2U". I've tried putting that in the original "smx". And copying "Blackwood_3DH.smx" separately to the "smx". What am I doing wrong?

Didn't want to get into all this really, but I give up; I can't get within 4.5 sec of the (XRG) WR 1:32:750 with my G25 and H-shifter

That's right - place the contents of this file -
http://gentlefoot.com/LFS/SMX_PTH_S2P.zip

in the LFS/data/smx folder. It should work. There a numerous .pth and .smx files in the zip.

Seems I was beaten to it. Here is some advice I wrote previously. There are also some track guides on my site you might find useful even if you don't drive the combos.

I would love to read it, but I'm close to falling asleep

Clearly not interested in engines in the same way as me then. Obviously not for everyone. Strictly petrol heads only

Quote from geeman1 :

Probably the Civic has a high risk rating, because of all the ricers and teenagers driving and crashing them all the time. Your bike on the other hand is only the 600cc version which isn't favored by teenagers or street racers.

So more crashers in the type of vehicle = more expensive insurance.

It's not that civic. Its the one based on the Rover 400 floor plan usually driven by flat caps. It IS a cheap car to insure. I agree that 600cc sportsbikes tend to be riden more sensibly than 125 scooters etc.

My feeling is its simply the amount of injury/damage a car causes to third parties or third party property compared to a bike.

Quote from theirishnoob :

i always thought you dont really need to steer bikes , you lean into the turn and use the throttle to pull you back up...

There is absolutley nothing wrong with the statement you just made in my view. Ron Haslem once told me to use the throttle to stand the bike up so you're in good company there.

Quote from Bean0 :

I take it that both policies are the same (fully comp/TPFT).

Do you have the same amount of NCB on both policies ?
Is the declared value or mileage on the Civic's policy significantly higher ?

1 more year NCB on the bike. Both TPFT. Bike is £120 a year whereas car is about £480.

My gixer (suzuki gsx600r) – 170kg – 104bhp 0-60 in under 4 secs 0-100 in under 8 seconds now only costs ¼ of the insurance of my 88 bhp, 1100kg Honda Civic which takes about 15 seconds to get to 60 and barely reaches 100mph lol!

Discuss.

Very interesting and indepth article about the K-Series.

Quote from Ihab Abbas :

Hello,

I have a question for experts please:

Why when I am at the single player mode I can not make a qualify session pre the race, and got a message that telling me that AI cars cant practice or qualify because they don’t know how to drive throw the pit lane.

How can I resolve this problem please???

Best wishes

Because now in the latest patch qualifying sessions and practice session start from the pitlane whereas they used to start out on track

Want to help mate but am at work. Will have a look tonight if I have time. Feel sorry for you that all these miserable buggers don't reply to you.

Quote from cwomack :

What program is everyone using to see these online setups?

Live For Speed S2 is the name I think.

Sorry mate - couldn't resist. What do you mean?

Quote from Christofire :

If you're talking about obstacle avoidance then target-fixation is a far bigger problem than countersteering. If you look where you want to go, not at the obstacle, then you're far more likely to go there.

Very good point that. This is so true.

Highly tuned 4 pots can sound great too though mate. Yeah sure not like the V10s/V8s but I still think they will scream.

Remember the E30 M3? 4 Pot engine but take it down a narrow built up street at high revs and it sounds awesome.

I have nothing more to say.
