Quote from J.B. :

According to this 9362 x 6622 jpg I've got the first high nose was the 1990 Tyrell and the last low nose was in 1992. Or if you're looking at the actual front tip of the nose cone then it was in 1995.

No no, there you're mistaken, best example are the Williams cars from 1991 to 1994 (FW 14-FW16) each was an evoltution from the other and each had a low nose.

FW14 (1991)

FW16 (1994)

Just to give you the example of the Williams' .

In 1995, those cars still used low noses:
Ferrari 412T2
Jordan 195 Peugeot
Tyrrell 23 Yamaha
Simtek S951 Ford
Pacific Pr02 Ford

Looks like Estoril or something to me, but I don't remember what order the calender was for 1990, because until after September the 10th, I wasn't born

Yeah that's the Tyrrell 019 from the 90's season. That's actually the first high nose car.

Quote from Leprekaun :

Well, if you want to know when the first high nosed or "shark nose" car came out, I believe it was the '91 Benetton. I could be wrong tho

No Tyrrell did introduce the high nose in '90 (I remember a Tyrrell 018 from '89 with a high nose though. Maybe they used it for testing purposes) . The last low nose F1 car was indeed the Ferrari from 1996 (though they changed in mid season to a high nose). Though the low nose they used was a bit higher then normal low noses. Indeed one could say that the 1995 season was the last that saw low nosed F1 cars.

Yeah it could be a bit bumpier here and there. That's also why I'm playing the 1979 F1 mod on R-Factor now and then, it literally bumps your eyes out of the head.

Oh, and Lang: You would've had 4th if you had just left me alone. Liigman was slower than both you and me in the end. If you had avoided the battle with me you would've easily passed him and finished 4th.

I don't think that anyone is going to let someone pass without a battle. Loosing a position ain't an option and I will always battle someone who's trying to overtake me. I also don't really think I could have overtaken Liigman. Fact is I lost that position due to this totally unecessary incident, damaged my suspension in it and couldn't keep the others behind me.

Nice show. Though it reminded me how bitter this race was for me. I already smelled my 2nd 4th place in a row when I ran into this FXO that rejoined into traffic.
But nethertheless I enjoyed watching this one.

Hey that's a cool idea and program.

Great homepage, does really help one.

As one of the GFC drivers I can confirm that racing is great in there. Tough on the front, but fun nevertheless. If you ever thought of racing a single seater race, then try the GFC, it's great.

Nee is gut, daran liegt's nicht. Welche Firewall hast du denn?

Hast du schon nachgeschaut ob du überhaupt nochmal frischalten kannst in diesem Monat. Glaube es sind max 2 Freischaltungen pro Monat oder so?

Yeah that would have been total DR invasion on that server (if you had joined)

Hello, I'm happy to have joined DR. As James said we know each other and I think this is a great team and we're surely gonna have fun.

I don't think LFS is dying (quite the controrary, but that's a subjectiv impression).
Things may become a little bit slow between major patches, but that effect was always there and perfectly normal.

And it also depends when you are online, I see you're american, maybe on the hours where you are online things may be a little quiet.

Works for me too

Different lightning (don't remember the name or author)

My top 5:

1. LFS
2. FSX
3. Transport Tycoon
4. Hearts of Iron 2
5. Silent Hunter 3 + 4

Oh right we're in racing games/sims here. Mmm that makes it quite difficult, not the 1st place but the rest of it

1. LFS
2. RBR
3. Microprose GP series
4. GTR2 (because of the real tracks, although the physics kill the experience)
5. TDU (it's fun for 5 or 10 minutes)

If you buy through Internet you can find it for 197,47 Euro in Germany (without shipping costs, but they shouldn't exceed +/- 20€)

Great work. Gonna try it out right away.

Thanks for making such a great tool

Yeah without anything on it looks like all objects are "flickering" and with everything on you get a very smooth look. I can't even drive anymore without some AA etc... as it makes me nervous to look at alle the flickering.

Well good luck Strobe.
He surely is a nice addition to Dynamic, he has many talents

The FXO is too light for such a car (that Scawen said himself) and the tyres are to wide (but they can't be changed in a physics compatible patch) for such a car. So this car is getting more "realistic" performances.
For the weight: I used to have a similar car to the FXO (Opel Vectra A 2.0l) it's empty weight was 1250kg (FXO 1140 without penalties). Even if you say it's a Coupe so it's rather an Astra Coupe: the Astra Coupe also weighs more (almost 1200kg).
If making the sim more realistic means that sometimes some cars have to be slown down I'm totaly comfortable with that.

At the beginning (in my first leagues) I used to push it to the limit nevertheless on which position I was. I even drove on the edge when I had over 10/20/etc seconds of advance.

Today I became more tactical, I just drive fast enough to fullfill my goals, when I'm in front I tray to control the race but not to do any crazy fast laptimes. I guess I'm getting old .

Well doesn't matter either way, as long as I can fullfill my goals

P.S. But I think the question should'nt be: "Does your psycological state change from race situation?" , it should be "Does you psycological state change your track behaviour?"

Is there any plans to program an hp right now? Would be kind of useful for PR and for keeping in touch with team members.

Quote from RIP2004 :

Well it differs a lot between different cars.

I drove a usual Opel Vectra A (Vauxhall) with about 90 HP before. And it was a bit less grippier, but I still had the impression of a bit better grip than in LFS.

...

I used to have a Vectra A (built 1990) it was tuned (not much just barely) 2.0l engine 4 cylindre 150 hp and with a sport kit (susp and exahaust etc) and I must admit it was the best gripping car that I used to have. Right now I'm driving a 2005 Seat Leon FR with 180 hp, 1.8l Turbo engine and though it's faster then the old Vectra I don't get this "gripping" sensation I had on the Opel. The Leon is reallly LFS like in some sort (it's more or less what I feel with the XFG although the car isn't as powerfull) and the old Vectra is more or less what the "old", unhandicapped FXO was, something like an Uebercar.
