Would you like some good criticism or prefer none at all?

1) The beginning is quite awful. I don't want to go round a track so fast. Also the "welcome to watch" thing is a bit unneeded, just a plain title would have sufficed. Then the transition from the intro to the grid is a bit tacky. First you're going super fast and now super slow. It kills the immersion completely.

2) In the grid the first camera angle is daft. No one can spin their head like that, especially with a helmet on. Then again, I've always thought that owls should be allowed to take a driving test.

3) The camera going across the track and suddenly changing to something else... not good.

4) Your camera transitions are quite poor.

5) Camera angle of the start is so unrealistic it hurts my pockets.

6) The lag is horrid. All cars jitter, majority of them bounce in addition.

7) First corner camera angle is even worse.

8) Sounds aren't that good.

9) Camera changes on the incident at 1:15 make no sense whatsoever.

10) The replay thing is quite daft. You would think you could do better with a ****ing computer and all.

11) Unrealistic crashes don't appeal to a simracing community.

That's the first minute and a half. I cba to watch more. If you were to correct all of the above you would have a semi-decent replay of a race. I wouldn't call it a movie yet but hey, it would be a start.

How awesome is it to get advice from people who have never been in your position

A few tips however from someone who actually has a military rank:

1) If you decide to nuke North Korea, mind the south border.
2) Don't piss off the one superior who decides upon your promotion (Been there done that.)
3) Do some work to get a good position. There are good jobs for good men, and then there are jobs for men.
4) Take note of all the luxury you're used to and how army taught you to appreciate it.

I thought you couldn't do races for more than two teams? I never understood why but it was boothy himself who iirc decided that

Quote from J@tko : Apparently.

Isn't it? After all the day when you are born is your birthday. A year passes by and it's again your birthday...

It's funny how people get confused with numbers. The birthday logic you lot advocate does exist though: For example, why the **** did we celebrate the millennium on the night of dec 31st 1999? If you count to 10 you don't start from 0. You start from 1. Therefore 2000 is the last year of the 1990's, and millennium should have been on the night of dec 31 2000. Or the decade 2000: If the century 1900 ended in 1999, the decade 2000 would start at the beginning of the year 2000 (still follow me?). If the end of the decade 2000 is the end of the year 2010 you would have 11 years in the decade!!

So you see, it's not really as clear as everyone seems to think.

I'm sure Thilo will find all this very interesting as he is a man of science (though a chemist, so he'll more likely be laughing his arse off in the meth fumes)

Quote from PMD9409 :This makes me feel old, but thankfully I feel smart because of Timo.

Well that's not much, after all my pot plants feel smart because of me. That's because I give them names. They're all named after sausage brands though.

C# is like a hooker: Learning is a small price compared to the results you get. The downside is the procurer*.

C++ is like a fleshlight: Designed to work in a non-sophisticated environment.

Python is like an ex highschool prom queen: It's amazing fun to play with. Sure it's daft as hell, you can't actually do anything smart with it and it's memory use, oh dear...

*This joke probably doesn't work.

You're quite right about that IMO. If only there was someone with first hand experience...

Quote from hyntty :
- Failed the army, 12 months and mustered out as a private

Yep, regardless of country, privates tend to be lazy sobs. Though in my defence none of the people in my "division" got promoted anyway because the überlieutenant (there isn't a word for the rank in English, or a corresponding rank in British or American armies. It's one higher than a first lieutenant but below captain) hated us all.

You see, I was a driver for the Artillery NCO school. Basically the NCO-candidates who rightfully always did everything while me, the other driver, the three corporals and an officer cadet sat on our arses (mostly playing cards).

Some awesome 6 months that lasted. I actually enjoyed the last bit of my service
Oh FFS Victor! [MTV3 / MNK]

Firstly my sincerest apologies for the extremely uninformative title but that was the first thing that crossed my mind.

Anyway, I got this email from MTV3 that redirected me to this news article. The most interested people can look it up with google translate.

Quote :
MNK muuttuu 31.12. MTV Oy ei jatka MNK:n palveluntarjoajana. Tuotteista ja ylläpidosta vastaa muutoksen jälkeen Dodreams Oy. Muutoksen yhteydessä palvelu saa uuden nimen: 5laps.com - "5 laps is all it takes to tell how you race".

5laps.com on palkintoja ja mainetta keränneeseen Live for Speed -ajosimulaattoriin perustuva helppokäyttöinen pelipalvelu. Luvassa on virtuaaliajamisen huippukisoja entistäkin monipuolisemmilla rata ja auto -yhdistelmillä. Tule ottamaan muista mittaa ja kisaamaan upeista palkinnoista. 5laps laajentaa verkossa käytävät kisat Suomen lisäksi myös muualle Eurooppaan. Nyt formulan rattiin pääsee ajamaan halutessaan myös televisiosta tutulla kansainvälisellä fiiliksellä.

Toivotamme sinut tervetulleeksi mukaan myös kaudelle 2011!

In short, MTV3 will no longer continue with the MNK shite. Instead it'll be run by a different company who are going to make it available for the whole of Europe from the beginning of next year.

So what do you reckon? Good or bad? Will all the mainstream wannabebawbags come crashing in traditional lfs servers like happened with MNK or will they just stick with the new-born 5laps competitions? Or will we see no change to anything?

Quote from Kalev EST :I got the rank of Junior Sergeant in the Estonian Defence Forces.

Care to shed some light on that? I looked up Estonian military ranks and all the NCO's make no sense what so ever...

Anyway, 2010 eh?

+ Started uni.
+ Got out of teh army.
+ Bought a car.
+ Got a roof over my head.
+ Somehow managed to get a perfect score in my programming exam(s)

- Spent a bit too much.
- Managed to fail the easiest math course there is
- Failed the army, 12 months and mustered out as a private
- Insulted people. This should be among the plusses now that I think about it.

Quote from JackDaMaster :Surely on restarts and on lap 1 it would be more benficial to run the standard chicane instead of that 'thing' :P

^^ That. If it was AS6 the right way round I'd understand the chicane (though arguably making the turn easier wouldn't always be considered good) but reversed you have probably managed to make a dangerous place worse.

What happened here was two yanks went to get engineering help from an aussie and predictably ended up with something that's completely the wrong way up...

Quote from E.Reiljans :trivial

Well, taken into account Scawen was driven (by the devil probably ) to make a lousy installer a while back for no good reason, it would only be logical to go with the Microsoft way.

Realistically speaking this limited access for programs thing is probably the smartest way anyway. Plus it makes people think they can safely go watch titties on the interweb.

You know what they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't eat it as well.

Like this? Apologies for the mess in the preview pic, I forgot how to press ctrl+s... fp

Here's a simple way you could do it with pyinsim


import pyinsim
import threading

def blue_flag():
insim.send(pyinsim.ISP_BTN,
ReqI=255,
ClickID=61,
BStyle=pyinsim.ISB_DARK | 6,
T=165,
L=168,
W=30,
H=10,
Text="BLUE FLAG!!!")
threading.Timer(7.0, clear_buttons).start()

def yellow_flag():
insim.send(pyinsim.ISP_BTN,
ReqI=255,
ClickID=61,
BStyle=pyinsim.ISB_DARK | 1,
T=165,
L=168,
W=30,
H=10,
Text="YELLOW FLAG!!!")
threading.Timer(7.0, clear_buttons).start()

def clear_buttons():
insim.send(pyinsim.ISP_BFN, ClickID=61)

def flag_detection(insim, flg):
if flg.Flag == 1: ## BLUE
blue_flag()
elif flg.Flag == 2: ## YELLOW
yellow_flag()


insim = pyinsim.insim('127.0.0.1', 29999, Admin='', Flags=pyinsim.ISF_LOCAL)

insim.bind(pyinsim.ISP_FLG, flag_detection)

pyinsim.run()
