It's real.

As much as I'm for following rules that's a little pedantic. He could remove it and it would make no difference whatsoever to the picture

Voted for Firemike, with [Audi TT] and ninjata just behind.

Quote from Intrepid :

I think he'll be pretty decent. His blog is one of the best, and in general his content is top notch. He'll suit the radio which can have a bit more detail, especially in FP

Didn't he used to do radio comms before he took over from Murray?

He's still better than Legard, if a bit shouty.

BBC have announced their lead radio commentator after Crofty left for Sky.









































It's James Allen - oh dear

we didnt ask him

I would otherwise you'll have HMRC all over you

Happy Birthday Falke!

Ithnan from Derby on text: "At this rate Steve Kean will be calling Sir Alex to offer his support."

Oh dear

Wenger

Hahaha I did that earlier

EDIT: For the obvious occurance that will happen sometime soon, 10,000th post!!!!

Quote from KiRmelius :

I think that's because shift light in LFS lights up not at specified rpm, but at the best time to upshift. So when turning hard, it's more difficult for engine to propel the vehicle forward, so you need to shift up later to stay fast.

Yep that's exactly right. The LFS redlight isn't a proper redlight - take the UFB as an example, the redline is at least ~500rpm lower

Quote from SennaSS :

you guys say knobody has got the tyre physics right yet for a sim!! I rekon you should take a trip to the F1 red bull factory or Mclarens simulator rooms!!! or even i zone based at silverstone

Oh yes because Scawen has a million pounds and we all have supercomputers to play it on. Surprisingly enough you can't do realtime calculations on a desktop computer to perfectly recreate tyre physics......

Quote from SennaSS :

it doesnt get any better than that afew million££ has been spent on precisly replicating what goes on out on track & guess what they dont get the number cruncher developer to try out the updates they get lewis or vettel Shocking that isnt it maybe bec its them who will notice the changes.

Yes because Lewis (or should I say LEW1S!11!1) can exactly relate a slight amount of extra understeer on cold tyres to line 4752 of the code which relates the change in camber of the tyre under load to a change in grip whereas a mathematician/physicist couldn't

Quote from SennaSS :

point is the tyre temp is the problem the grip ratio feels about right on lfs I just think they should redo the calculations on the way it heats up the tyre the way it does bec it is just plain awful and incorect

Errrrrm, I'd definitely agree that the temperature/grip ratio is wrong as the temperature increases but "re-doing" the calculations isn't just adding 10 gripz when the temperature goes above 70 degrees celcius.... And LFS tyre physics certainly aren't awful - they're much better than rFactor for a start.

Quote from JazzOn :

Whats awful is your complaining of things that have been reported years ago by racing drivers and knowledgeable people, hence why scawen (a single developer) is studying to remodel it to run on a desktop pc (without stealing the money from customers ).

Quote from SennaSS :

thats bec you had some brave sole get in this....so now they understand Lift and could then do the maths... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres ... 2,s:0&tx=70&ty=72

Erm, ok firstly the Wright Brothers flew 7 years previously, and secondly they didn't exactly use a computer simulation to build it.....

My point (which, yet again in this thread you have completely missed as you did with Joe and Tomba) is that you can create an incredibly realistic simulation of an aircraft before it's even built, using maths and physics. You're not just creating a model you don't know about, but you're using the results to refine your model of something you've never made. You don't need to know what the behaviour should be in the end because if you follow the physics, it'll happen anyway

Quote from SennaSS :

Still Im not ranting just saying you cant create somthing without knowing what its like to do in real life...

Yes you can. How do you think planes fly perfectly fine* on their first ever flight???!!!

* normally :P

Quote from SennaSS :

i fear it will not be right because even the developers dont know whats real are they racers in real life??

Strangely enough physics is physics. They're not trying to emulate behaviour, they're emulating physics.

But it is actually Gills's birthday - happy birthday!!

This. Quite frankly I'm amazed that people have nothing better to worry about

Quote from bunder9999 :

too little too late. i'm going shopping for a widescreen lcd tv so i can go and buy a ps3. i'm not even going to bother building a new lfs machine until things start picking up more.

Happy Birthday Guys!! See you on track in 2012

With the help of Timo "hyntty" Hynninen

Well that's debatable.

Quote from L@gger :

I dont think so weight affects cornering. Or that it affects by a part.

Centripetal force (i.e. Grip needed) = mv^2/r

You scored 28/101 (27.72%).

F1 only: 7/22 (31.82%).

Non-F1: 21/79 (26.58%).

That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...

Hahahaha

Quote from Mustangman759 :

its not about speed but about doing 1 stop strategies :P

But I don't get how I can be an entire second off pole. By my rough extrapolations the leaders must have chassis stats of about 50% and I don't understand how you can have that after one race

How are you guys all so fast

Merry Christmas all

I hope to be racing with you guys again in the New Year
