Ferrari's green alternative to run their car's on alcohol proved to be too big of a temptation for some.

You should get a better brain to mouth filter, cause whats coming out of it now is pure crap

Why is it anymore possible that McLaren, or an employee of McLaren, recieved a 800 page document about Ferrari than it is that Ferrari have made false allegations for a personal gain. Maybe McLaren did receive the document, maybe not. Maybe Ferrari are using dirty underhand tactics, maybe not.

To be honest I think asking a forum where the majority of the posters are male why women don't tend to race might not give the real reason's. To be honest though, apart from sexist racers, I don't think anyone has any objection's to women racing along side men. The main reason though that I would expect for there not to be many women in racing would simply be that women don't want to race. There could be many reasons for not wanting to race though such as not being interested, the sport is male dominated etc.

Whatever the outcome is it is the outcome. There seems to be speculation and allegations everywhere concerning this. At one time it was suggested Honda and other teams might be involved too. If it is true then it is a shame that McLaren has resorted to such underhand tactics, I just hope that whatever the outcome it does not effects the drivers championship or throw a shadow over the season.

Recently practicing mrt at south city I noticed that sometimes glancing blows would throw you into the air but not often at all. What I noticed more was that the contact would ruin the suspension completely. Which is realistic for when the car hits the wall, no so much when, for example, you move a little to wide entering a corner and rub the wall. Maybe I am wrong as I don't know quite how strong SS suspension is but F1 cars can get away with tapping walls.
As for the collision detection and collision physics; Assuming no lag, car to car contact is reasonable IMO. The problems occur when there is lag or you hit a wall or the red and white barriers.

Thinking about it while i type this post, is it the collision detection needs work or is the damage model. If you were to hit a wall in reality hard enough to flip your car in lfs, your car would be ruined, or in the case of SS would only have 3 wheels. So you would not have a wheel at weird angles with impossibly broken suspension or a wheel to ride up the wall simply because it would of fallen off. Both damage and collision detection need work but is it a case that some of the problem listed as collision detection could be the damage.

On the note of favorite sims and fanboy's. All sims are fake, they all use canned effects as it is simply a computer program. The only way to get no canned effect is to go and drive your car sat in the garage. People go on their personal experience of their lives to judge what they are doing now and future events. Everyone's perception of what happens is different, in a real car and in a sim. Which means people will take what they perceive in a sim and compare it to their experience of real life driving. Just because one sim feels more real to one person - does that make it anymore realistic? Ofcourse not, realism is your own personal perception. The one factor that is true, not only for lfs but all sims and even some non sim racing games, is that we like racing and are here for good racing and fun. Hopefully that all made sense.

I have made the motul pitwork 350z but I am pretty sure I have seen some xanavi ones about too. Have a search around

Still begs the question why make a personal XFR skins lol

Anyway, nice skin, needs some sponsors though, maybe a title sponsor and some smaller ones.

Told you I'm no chicken.

Here it is then.

Quote from 88Nightrider :

my wheel is allso doing this
-12 degrees off center

If your wheel is plugged in when you turn your computer on, during boot up there are time where you can move the wheel without it registering and so becomes off centre. I don't know if this is what happened but possibility.

ZOMG! It actually loaded.

Might finally have a look round RSC

Skin is a bit blurry in places but nothing major and amazing courage to take that skin on.

I wonder if Honda knew of lfs and thought this will make it hard for them to skin

Quote from Gil07 :

Photoshop. Don't know why they came out like this...

Did you by any chance make the selection of the black, then for the yellow got selection contract XX pixels. As this causes thr problem of jaged lines.

Nice skin though

Definatly more healthy now going to a pub or similar but even though I am not a smoker I never minded going into smokey pubs.

It is a good thing though and I am all for the ban.

oooo Tristan is watching, lets annoy him with some dorifto moves.

As said the button for sequential shifting the g25 register as different button presses so you need to set the gear up and gear down to the sequential shifter. The really easy way to change between h shifter, paddles and sequential is to write a script for each. Then you can bind the scrpit changes to your F# keys making changing between gear changing methods a simple button press. You have got me on msn so just catch me and I will give you my scripts to use or to look at

Video was well made and the music fitted. As for seeing the crashes that is up to the individual who makes the video but the best tribute I have seen was one where it showed a few crashes but just named alot of the drivers who died.
I don't think it is a fixation for most to see the people die it is more people remembering those who have died in motorsport. I personally don't like to see the crashes which is why i liked the video where is listed the names. It a memorial to those who died doing what they loved.

Well you could right a script which makes the change over quickly.

I know from using my wheel if I press 'S' which was shift up when I was using keyboard it will shift up. So you could try setting your paddles in lfs to shift up and shift down. Then setting shift up and shift down to a letter also and then using logitech profiler set the sequential stick shifter to those letters. This may not work as I have no tried it but it might and worth a try.

Or offer incentives to manufacturers of armour-piercing munitions.

Made me laugh

Really though it is pointless. Limit the speed to 100 mph car manufacturers would just make car's get to 100 in even more ridiculously quick times as no need for any 'top end' speed. Didn't read the full article but it seemed quite a balanced one, which is unusual, as it does point out cars are hevier due to safety and sports cars try to be as light as possible.

Edit: I really can't spell when i type quickly.

No thanks, you can do it yourself

Good to have him aboard Another brave soilder to fight in the anti PR battle known as james rowe lol.

Looks really good After you modelled all the interior shame you can't see any

What troy said Do the same with your lap too. I have never used f1 perview only analyse for speed (afs). Just open the WR .raf file and your .raf and compare where you are different.

Using AFS what I have found useful for improving my times is to look at the track and see the line that the WR holder takes compared to mine then adjusting mine to that line. After that it is a case of going as fast as you can sticking to your line. Again look in afs and see where you are slower and see if you can possible go 1mph faster through the corner.

Last time I knew it had little + and - on the wheel

It is usually pull for up, push for down but IIRC there was someone in a gt championship a few years back who used it the other way round. I guess you find which you are comfortable with and stick with it .
