I think they have a policy never to comment on threads like this. Which is fair enough, I think, because otherwise it would be hard for them later on to draw a line between what to comment on and what to ignore.
I'm on holiday till the end of August, with no wheel. 
So an involuntary break from LFS for me.
So an involuntary break from LFS for me.Yep, I liked the old one too. I know many people liked all the inventory micromanagement, but to me that got too boring in the long run. But my biggest gripe was the weapons. It just didn't feel like I was firing a weapon when I pulled the trigger. 
I'm not complaining about the "realistic bullet path" thing, just the sound/feel of it.
If they can fix those two Clear Sky will be great.

Hear hear, he speakest the truth!
I was at a party yesterday too. End of the semester and all. Homebrewn beer is good, but gives horrible headaches.
No word for an hour.. I guess that's good news.
Nice episode! 
(as usual) I'm looking forward to the piece about iRacing too.
Some pieces of the interviews were a little hard to hear, though. (too low "angle of acceptance" on your mic perhaps?) Might want to see what you can do about that.

I don't think I've ever gone above 250 kilometers. I get tired after a few hours (my chair + desk arrangement isn't very good. )
)I'd like to know this too. I watched season 1 (which was great), but halfway through season 2 I gave up.. I just realised that this show could go on for ever, with more questions popping up all the time. Besides, the irrational behaviour of many of the characters bugged me to no end.
I think I'll have to go with a NA too. Probably a 1,6 liter 1991 model. In fact I was thinking that maybe tomorrow after my final exam I'll pop by a car dealer to take one for a spin. (i've seen they have one for sale). 
But insurance is not the only thing that costs money.. there's annual services, fuel +++. I think that in total I'd probably be looking at close to £3000 a year, which is a lot for a poor student like me. So for now it's only day dreaming. But when I finally do get a car, whenever that might be, it will be an MX-5.

But when I finally do get a car, whenever that might be, it will be an MX-5.This is exactly what I'm planning to do.
I've been dreaming about those cars for as long as I can remember, and my LFS experience with RWD cars just put more fuel on the fire. (I was hoping LFS would help fight my desire for a car, but it seems to work opposite. 
) However I'm only 21, so insurance would be pretty expensive. In Norway the insurance companies offer either "full coverage" (which covers everything, even if it's obviously your fault) and "partial coverage" (which covers stuff like fires and theft). The latter is of course much cheaper. In my case full coverage would cost about £1900 a year, while partial coverage is about half that. So if I get partial coverage and drive without error for 5-6 years the money I'd have saved would be about the same as the value of the car.. which is pretty silly.
I think it's all about finding the "sweet spot" in terms of car value vs insurance cost. But I think in general you'd be better off the sooner you start paying for your own insurance instead of using your parents' insurance. If you don't, you might be facing some ridiculously expensive insurance once you're 26 or whatever and want to buy a brand new car.
Sometimes if I plug in my wheel after starting LFS my wheel behaves erratically too, since it appears to loose calibration. All I need to do is turn it from lock to lock in game (after starting the race) and it will recalibrate itself.
Nice!
Was that a live for speed t-shirt by the way? Poor resolution, so I couldn't really tell..Generally for quali you can use more agressive cambers, too, since you don't have to worry about tyre wear. I find that this can be very effective: it gives you little rolling resistance on high speed straights (since basically only the inside of the tire is in contact with the ground). If you use this together with quite low pressures you get plenty of traction in the corners because the tires flex.
A side note: I find it much more difficult to tweak pressures/cambers on cars with wide tires, such as the FZ5. Too much camber and pressure --> outside doesn't get warm. Too high pressure, less camber --> middle gets too warm. Lower pressure and camber --> better (and this is what I use) but I get more friction.

And I agree with that.Welcome to S2! You won't look back.
While waiting for your wheel you might want to read up on the stickies and the manual.

I hope the workshops that customize bikes also take the structural integrity into account.. just putting on a bigger engine and stronger brakes won't be enough to ensure safe travel at those speeds.
I've always been very attracted to racing and cars in general. My first car will be an MX-5, of that I'm sure. But my student economy won't allow it. (well, technically I guess I could find a way, but I have absolutely no use for a car in my everyday life, so for now I manage to restrain myself). For now LFS provides my "speed fix".
That's weird.. I get absolutely no FPS drop when I use the bloom addon. (not the one which changes colours and that)
The fastest I've gone was 180 kp/h. But that was with my snowmobile, not a car. I lived at Svalbard (Spitzbergen) last spring, so of course owning a snowmobile was pretty much a mandatory thing. I bought an Arctic Cat Jaguar Z1 1100cc 123 HP four-stroke snowmobile. Even though it did make a quite significant dent in my economy (those things drop in value like a stone..) it was definitely worth it. A life time experience. I can tell you, it's quite an adrenaline rush to go full speed on the sea ice or in the long, flat valleys.. one little bump and you're dead.

Otherwise it just stands still and you can't shift.
Have the devs ever mentioned going over to DX9? Would that even be technically possible (that is, keeping today's content but just making it look nicer) Do you reckon DX8 would allow the features you mention in a satisfactory manner, such as dynamic weather and that?
I'm asking because I don't know the limitations of DX8 vs DX9/10.
What effect does this have compared to simply lowering the degrees of rotation?
