i think with trains, but cannot be 100 percent, the wheel just slip to take curves, in the siutaion a diff would be more trouble than its worth and isnt really needed


edit:sorta double post bob :P

edit 2: lol fixed it

lol i was gonna get a 400d originally but i can get the 450d cheaper belive it or not and there are several features that make it better for what i want to do with it, as for going with nikon, maybe, but tbh i like the canons and they seem a bit more user freindly in that someone who knows naf all about cameras can use one (my dad). and also im already aquanted with the canon style as i have used a freinds canon 400d before

lol if i remember correctly you were on the server the day when so3 and fe1r came on one after the other and i also remember you were realy the only one doing any good at it lol, getting lap records on both tracks on the first races on each, grrrr, but i personally find it a bit much having a full field of gtrs breathing down you neck when you have an xfg with tyres hotter than lava lol but maybe thats cos im totally rubbish

Quote from TiJay :

Haha, why do I get the feeling the Norton bit was a dig at the program's useless-ness?

lol i think it may well be lol, although it did manage to do something which is unlike the real norton, what it should have done was accidently kill its self in the process lol thats more like the real norton

im not saying tracks like so3 cant be the base for some great races but it depends on who is racing and tbh i think its a bit risky but it does sort the men from the boys thats for sure lol

getaway was great, and some much better than anything like gta mainly because it was based in london lol. if i remember correctly i almost completed it but got very annoyed so used a cheat and then used it for messing around lol just like i did in gta vice city and san andreas lol

yh fe1 you can just scrap with a few peope but loads of peopel in all 3 classes causes a bit of mayhem tbh

and yes so3 is as bad as you think lol

Quote from J@tko :

Yah, you will.

However, I've lost count of the number of times Race 3 has been on Fern Bay Green Normal/Reversed in the last few weeks

At least a gd full server on Race 3 is almost guaranteed to provide some excellent racing, as well as friendly competitors

lol yh fe gren was the other one, i was on the server once when it went to so3 then fe1r lol. also sometimes i can find alot of laps round a short track tobe more boring that a few laps round a big one

as for abs on the xrg and not on the xfg, i personally think it would be a good thing as with the xrg braking distances are quite a bit longer sometimes and can cause acidents on severs running the cars but to do this the xfg would need a little work to keep it balanced

tbh with tracks on race 3 my biggest worry are those that are too small one example being so3, it can barly take a load of ufrs in a ufbr race let alone a race 3 race with mainly gtrs on it. but i do see what your saying about big tracks and the gfr's and i do find them a bit long sometimes but there are perfect for the gtrs so need to be there

im running a race frame i got given buy a forum member in oxford(sorry cant remember his name lol)

just been having a look through the thread, love the pics, hopefully i can contribute soon as in january im finally getting myself a dslr.

probably gonna get a canon 450d

one thing to be careful of is cooling, im not sure if the resorator will be up to it

Quote from Flame CZE :

I tried to compare real car to LFS one. Nice, almost the same.

tbh this is not a supprise, i think your find in the video it said eric had a model from volkswagen that he used as a base

although i voted smooth because it is the best way to keep momentum and therefore get quicker times i also believe you have to push the limits sometimes, i would say drive rough, but just push the boundries in some situations

ah yes but if people only stick with one or more cars it doesnt matter how many there are, in some ways it would be good in tbo but in some ways it would be good maybe even on its own

Most of the broken shifters are from users abusing the thing. I let my brother try and drive once, and he slammed the thing into the gears. Its not a real shifter, folks. There is a line beyond using which crosses into abuse. If you use it correctly, it will not break. The shifter has not broken on me in two years. Sure, it could have been made to suffer abuse, but it wasn't, and you must change your actions to reflect that.

very true, i must admit i have abused mine and it broke although took quite a while considering the amount of use

One more very important thing to remember IMO is: DON'T THINK ABOUT THE POINTS OR EVEN YOUR STATISTICS!! Really, that's death to good fun. Just enjoy the racing, whether it's at the back of the grid or for a podium place. Don't get too annoyed when you're stuck behind someone slower than you on a track where overtaking is difficult. Just try to race closely without (too much) contact, try to find weak spots in the other guy's laps, looking for possible overtaking oportunities etc... That's what racing is about. I know it's easier said than done but you won't get very far if you wind yourself up and get annoyed People tend to get too caught up in the whole stats thing on CTRA.

this is very true, i have very recently moved to race 3 after getting silver and am seeming to engoy racing so much more because im ot worried about points, and i know all i need to o to progress is just race, some races i get loads and some i get hardly any bu i dont really care lol im enjoying the racing

Quote from 5haz :

Bah Humbug!

Although it does make me laugh that a few people round here leave them up all year.

the was one guys who had a huge display and when asked why he didnt ever take them down his answer was ' buy the time i have taken them all down its about time to start putting them up again' lol

you cant beat proper milk bottles lol, the hard but not chew ones are the best but also on my list are:

rosey apples
rubarb and custard
sherbet lemons
army and navyes(i know ye olde things)
and them cream filled licurice things whatever you want to call them, ive just done a box of 100 of them in a couple of weeks lol(my nan runs a shop and gets em from the cash and carry lol)
fruit gums
black jacks
fruit salads
i could go on lol

well if i were dell there would be a utility you run and that screen could show things like cpu usage ram usage and system temps, whatever you want

Quote from BastianB :

thats what i want to hear
to 1. --> it was also avaible with 4 gb of ram but, i had to look at the prize cause i dont want to sell my car for a new comp ^^

to 2. --> im not sure you can even get some other system then vista at dell?!

to 3. --> i don´t know this card, there where better, but again the money

thanks for the comment

1:yh i see what your saying and tbh to get the best out of 4 gb you need to go to 64bit, im not atm lol

2: no you cant anyware to my knowledge microsoft stopped the big guys doing it months ago, and its just im not a fan of vista and if your not careful it eats(uses) too much ram

3: tbh neither do i its just i have had a few bad experiances with ati cards and dont trust them

but like i said, other than these few, tbh quite small things in the bigger picture, its a cracking machine

looks ok, but several things i dont like:

1: 3gb of ram(all the manafcturers seem to do it atm), to me this would not use the dual cvhannel to the max, i like to have all the sticks of ram identical(same make size etc) though this may be an unfounded belief

2: vista(all i need to say there)

3: ati card, i dont like them but hey thats personal preferance

but other than that looks good, the q6600 is a lovely cpu , nice size hdd and you cant go that wrong with dell. lfs should be first class and most games should run excellent on it

rally at the ring, could be a new event lol

i agree with all what becky and sam said and tbh i personally dont think it could work with out reajustment to license levels. really iall i wanted was to get people thinking lol but i wouldnt mind seeing it happen
