Your finger dexterity must be over 5000 to get those codes used before someone else uses them.

Quote from Racer Y :Oh... Here's a new conspiracy for you. I know you love these things.
There was a second shooter in Aurora, Colo.
It was a plan set in motion by Holden as attempt to get gun control restrictions started after the Fast and Furious Fiasco.

There are no new conspiracies for racer_nzxczzx. He knows them all.

Got the codes from that last day's special. 600 golds for nothing. Hoping for more today

Anyways, here are instructions how it goes
1. the codes are shown on the wot live stream here:
http://worldoftanks.eu/en/streams/gamescom
2. The codes come up in the beginning of the blue shows in this schedule:
http://worldoftanks.eu/news/33 ... escom-schedule-announced/
(so today friday the codes will appear somewhere at 12:30, 14:30 and 17:30 cest.
3. The codes are hard to miss if you watch the stream. To use the code, take a screenshot of it and crop the code out from the background using mspaint for example. Save the image as jpg and upload it to here for example to get the url:
http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/
4. Go to the url, put in your wot account email address and receive free gold.
5. Or just watch this thread and use the urls when they are posted:
http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/i ... g-the-gamescon-live-feed/
The codes expire rather fast so you need to use the url rather fast after it has been posted or you will miss it.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :WoWP beta, AFAIK.

I'm not sure but I don't think giving gold for free beta is worth anything. Could be that too I don't know.

Anyways, here's the new code, works only for the next 15 min or so:

Apparently there are some special bonus codes flying around. Basically if you watch the streams (now) there are some barcodes that appear which you can scan:
http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/i ... g-the-gamescon-live-feed/

I don't know for sure if the codes are for wowp or wot but I'd imagine they work for both as wg are planing to have one type of gold for both games.

Well for me with nkpro there were different patches that had different amounts of steering lag. Some patches were 0-lag for me while on other patches the lag came back. In some interview kunos said that nkpro has gone through many tire models (I think the actual number was like 3 or 4) which could explain it. Coding the tire model in different way could introduce steering lag as the calculations are done differently and maybe less efficiently. I dunno.

The amount of steering lag in that vid does look a bit bad but it also looks like it could be just the monitors and vsync.

Quote from Taavi(EST) :And gets put under enormous pressure. Plus they would have to announce a release date which they would have to keep to have any sort of success you are expecting.

So no IGN, Gamespot, or any other arbitrary game site better not try to hype this up. Most gamers won't like it anyway, since it won't have any career mode or "carrot on a stick" online rewards or achievements.

To top it off, true car simulators will never be mainstream. Period.

But lots of sim racers have learned about iracing through magazines for example. Imho everything helps for relatively small projects like AC. While sim racing will never be mainstream it still helps to get the word to the masses even if the latest nfs is more interesting to the average joe.

Just like with racing legends the same thing applies to S3. I will wait it.

Tbh it sounds like want to decide the type of engine based on style instead of engineering criteria. Form over function so to speak.

Of course the biggest thing you need to remember is where the engine comes and does it matter. Flat 6 litre v16 engine sounds totally awesome concept for example but to get one you need to make your own. Same with flat 8 cyl engine. Hard to get one of those anywhere. If you are prepared to accept more conventional solutions you can always pick a v8 with the specs you want from some engine builder or manufacturer. Add couple turbos on it and call it maggot speziale.

But of course if the engine itself needs to be the differentiating factor inside the car that produces the wow factor then a v8 is probably not what you want. I don't think are any major engineering restrictions to get desired amount of hp from any engine configuration. I think your only limitations are on the production side.

Flattening the exhaust pipes will just make them heavier because you want certain cross-section area and for elliptic shaped exhausts you need more steel. Basically if you flatten a circle the area inside the ellipse is smaller than the circle so you need bigger circle to begin with. Of course flattening the exhausts creates problems elsewhere as well. Routing them through the car can be a bit troublesome because their dimensions change depending what direction you turn them.

I think you need to set the output to be "hdmi" from the xbox settings instead of the other outputs...
