This post is one of the black posts in SCCC history. With much pain in my heart I have to announce that two Cabbies will be leaving SCCC and will go their own way from now on. Deutschland2007 (also known as Dominik) and myself, GianniC, are leaving SCCC. The reason for doing so is that a lot of the Cabbies are inactive in LFS, which makes teamevents and league racing rather lonely and boring. We attempted to bring in a new wind into SCCC by taking in some new members and by signing up for GTAL, however after the initial activity bump this had not much effect on the entire team. For this also my excuses to AtomAnt and Rookie41.
I can say a lot more about how great SCCC is, for nearly 6 years (!!) I have been a Cabbie and I shared a lot of personal ups and downs with my fellow Cabbies. From strangers in an online game, they've all become good and very close friends. Going to the Cabbie forum after a hectic troubled real life day could bring a smile upon my face. I wish I could say more, however tears are in my eyes. Sorry Cabbies for letting you down.
At the end of the day LFS is and stays a game, in which one wishes to have fun. I believe that I can have more fun in LFS by doing more active (league) races. Chatting and talking can (and will) always be done by other means. That is why I decided, after a sleepless night, to leave SCCC.
Thank you Sprinter, Houba, Popeye, 2BL, Reman, Lake, Colt, Chen, Y-NoT, Tukko, Peckers, Prophet, Ketshoo, Kshyhohaoijzjazo, Mauni, Rookie41, Zeugnimod and last but not least AtomAnt for the GREAT time in SCCC and for everything else. It was an honor. I still hope that one day you all will be back into LFS racing with me and that we can do our famous real life meeting on Corsica!
I support FE. At least I know how that track looks (there's sand and palmtrees, right?), while AS GP is totally unknown to me after more than 8 years of LFS playing (I know, the track is less old, but I can't be bothered to look up the exact introduction date - still morning for me, glah!)
SCCC is going to race with the XRR in GTAL, simply because our skin looks cool on it Anyway, we are no Core Aliens and we will not be as fast as Core in that XRR. Seeing the results of the MoE and such I'd say that XRR 24%+10kg is the best option for us amateurs in GTAL and it might make some other teams pick the XRR as well instead of the"no brainer FZR choise" (cause that's one of the minor objectives of the rebalancing, isn't it ?!).
Just got and installed Windows 7 pro full client.
Everything is going perfectly, a nice upgrade of Vista. One problem though: since I have installed Windows 7 my LCD screen (Samsung) is making a beeping noise which doesn't go away. First I thought it was because of a bad resolution, fixed all that but the beeping continues. I then installed the latest nvidia drivers for windows 7, but the beeping continues. Rebooted twice in the meantime, yet the beeping continues. When I switch power off from my screen the beeping ends.
Did my screen go broke by accident right on the moment my Windows 7 was done installing ? Any other theories or advice ?
