Quote from tristancliffe :Use V-Power for a month or two and compare your cost per mile (the bottom line) with 'cheap' fuels. Then you won't ever use cheap fuels again if you can possibly avoid it.

It's different fuel in the US though, isn't it? I heard the formulation is different in Europe. Here the octane ratings are 87, 89 and 93 with most cars designed for 87. Shell isn't really any more expensive than normal and their grades are the same as all the others.

It isn't anywhere near a 2009 car, and it's being driven by a very skilled professional racing driver. To drive on city streets in the wet in an F1 car is extremely tricky.

If it is possible to gain an advantage from ABS, it needs to be fixed. Z5 should become the official patch so everyone's running the same cars.

Is ABS an advantage while driving online?

Quote from JasonJ :It's in the new test patch Z5 now. See the test patch forums.
Patch TEST Forum

How can patch Z5 be online compatible when it has added ABS for some cars?

Quote from The Very End :Holy shit, if it had been the normal %number I would die by drinking that. Think of a box (24) of beers with 8.x% alcholol O_o

24?

I felt full after one of those. It's like a meal.

It's what you do about it that counts, though.

Quote from Mazz4200 :Well, according to that quote, he's only quick and fast when the car with the most powerful engine does the driving for him.

Bullshit.

He's simply acknowledging the fact that a driver always wants more, better, and faster, and most drivers see any rule changes which take away anything which makes them faster to be a detriment. Surely you remember Kubica echoing this sentiment a few months ago.

And anyway, anyone who thinks that an F1 engine "can do the driving" for someone is a moron. It still requires an extremely impressive skill level to drag a car like the 2008 Renault to victory twice. Regardless of what you think of Alonso's character, his driving this year was superb.

Your onboard graphics chip is simple not able to handle the load LFS is throwing at it. You need to reduce your settings.

What resolution are you running at? AA and AF? Reduce the quality settings in the ATI control panel and in LFS itself. Dynamic LOD Reduction is an important setting. It dynamically reduces the level of detail when your FPS drops in order to keep a more constant FPS. Maybe reduce the texture detail and the mipmapping. Play around with the settings in LFS to find the right balance between image quality and performance.

Buy a wheel.

It's possible to drive quickly with a mouse, but most people find it easier to be quicker with a wheel. And it's more fun.

Buy a wheel.

Quote from Crashgate3 :I've never quite got this thing I've noticed some people have in the US of saying that left-handed people can't use manual gearbox cars as it means shifting with the 'wrong' hand [...] Half the world drive like that every day..

Wait, what?

Webber isn't Schumi.

It seems like this is going to be a make-or-break year for Mark. If he beats Sebastien, great, if not he goes home.

Quote from STROBE :I hope not - I find it more of a distraction than anything else. Maybe if it was optional then it would be a good addition.

One line of text in the chat box is a distraction?

Seriously?

You know you can block messages, right?
Any Plans For a LFSLapper-type Feature?

I think that's what it's called - as one goes through each split divider, in the chat box is shown your split time and how much it varies from your pb. It's green if you're under, red if you're over. I really like this feature and miss it when driving on CTRA. Are there any plans to add a feature like this to the X-system?

The fortune of F1's unluckiest driver continues.

Shame for him, as this means he's going to miss a good portion of if not most of the winter testing. He won't be able to develop the car or rack up seat time in it, so invariably he'll be at a disadvantage at the start of the season. This is not something he needs when he's going up against the quickest teammate he's ever had and when he really needs to step up and prove himself if he wants to stay in F1.

I really like him as an F1 driver. He's honest, he speaks his mind, but he's also a team player who doesn't thrash his team when things are going badly. And he's a really down-to-earth guy. Hopefully he can turn this around and have a strong season.
