IMO the "purest" MMORPG ever is Progress Quest, and it's free. I have a level 23 Talking Pony Robot Monk and a level 18 Double Hobbit Hunter Strangler.

Dammit, im now addicted to this game, cant stop playing it.
In one night I now have a level 12 double wookie b*star*d lunatic with level 5 hastiness. Must stop...so much still to do...must sleep...

Quote from BurnOut69 :

Back on topic, the only thing I know is that I happened to find the 'older news' link in the main site, and in the pre-S2 era they indeed used to post progress reports and a lot of stuff regarding what they were cooking.

Guess they dont feel like doing it anymore

Im sure when they have something juicy to share with us, they will.
In the meantime, want to know what Scawens up to at the moment?
Check this.

.... what do you want me to do buy 5000 s2's? ....

Just the one would be nice
You gave the game away when you got all defensive.
Talk about off topic.

Id love all of the above in LFS

I see your point but "game" is likely to be a highly contested word, "simulation" is probably much easier to target, I dont know for sure but thats what I would expect.
And as other people here have alluded to, its much better to make your site relevant to the key words you choose. If your going to go much further with it then you need to go the whole hog and invest hours into it, research and testing, thats not much fun.
Producing relevant content that people are going to want to link to is more fun and what the search engines would prefer you to do

Quote from Daviddabest :

Thanks for the headsup when tickets were still free

You started this thread a year ago, surely you knew about it?
I apologise, Ill make sure to post when the tickets come up for next years event.

Quote from ajp71 :

I think that a World Series Renault would be very similar to the FO8. The FO8 really is a doddle to drive one you've got the hang of throttle control. I think a small sports racer (Radical SR8 like) would be a better addition.

I agree! Id love to see any Radical in LFS. We probably have enough single seaters for the moment.

Anyone going this year? Its next weekend.
Tickets were free again but I think its too late to get them now.
We got loads We will possibly have some spare if anyone is interested.

I want to race in the FIA GT Championship.
Failing that Id race yachts :boat: Americas cup baby

In case you were wondering what it is heres another one -

Its a 1933 Bently "Barnato Hassan Special"

Heres the pic, Ive got loads more so Im gonna stick them on the net somewhere

Quote from george_tsiros :

:beady:

omfg mantis9, that pic looks ****ing awesome, as if giger designed a race car:headbang:! please please send the bigger picture!!!:hyper:

Glad you like it
Ill dig out the photos, there on a disk somewhere.

Seriously good pictures, thanks for sharing!
mmmmm Aston mmmmm so nice...

Gah! adverts

(but great work getting up again )

I agree with alot of what has been said here. I think the concensus is JS is good when used properly, and its very easy to use it badly. Some general advice could be; only use it when its needed.
Im not sure how useful this conclusion is for you Vic, some ideas will sound great to you, but is it really needed? I think the JS / AJAX sites that excel are the ones that are virtually seemless. As soon as people have to start waiting for something to load, nostalgia about the good old days of plain old html gushes from every exit.
I say leave the luddites to thier slates, go forward with vision and purpose, it is in keeping with the spirit of LFS


Oh and Orion, I love your vision of the future, something to look forward to

Quote from deggis :

Almost off topic question: is TC allowed in Le Mans series? Probably only in LMP1/2 class cars?

erm

pass, Ill try and find out

yeah, why not! My mate sidepants is going as well, plus a third non LFS person, but we wont speak to him. He is a sim racer, but he prefers GTR illepall

we got tickets today, should be a space in the car if you need a lift

I crashed Vykos so I could make friends

And I agree with you Albieg, I should have said, I was born in Liverpool, so I know the power of football. I know how passionate it can make you, if I didnt feel that passionate about it, it wouldnt bother me how these people play. But I do care, and thats what makes it so frustrating.
If only we had more like Damiano Tommasi, he sounds like a Saint amongst sinners.

I dont know about you guys, but we were taught in the school yard that "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"

You ask if I could keep calm in that situation? I have no doubt I could, say what you want about my mother, my father whomever, I dont care. Only if I valued your opinion would it bother me. When someone calls names like that, they are doing it with the express purpose of getting you angry, its much more satisfying to not fall for the bait (the same way you should deal with trolls, ignore them).

I cant watch football anymore, its an absolute joke, supposed "adults" acting like little kids. Its sickening the way "proffesional" footballers act, and the amount of money they get payed. Ive totally given up on the game.

Quote from Greboth :

That looks like birmingham wheels (i think, i always mix the karting places up)
Anyone know if it is the karting place in birmingham?

Birmingham Wheels is outdoor, there are no "good" indoor karting places in Birmingham, there was one, the Raceway near Walsall, but it got burnt down not long after moving to a bigger venue.

I cant see it dude, tried typing the name in to the "join specific server" bit and got a "could not connect" error

In case anyone else has my DFP problem, bust power supply, a kind sole on RSC just informed me that you can use a generic adaptor from Maplin or such-like. Just check the voltages n stuff
Ill report on how it goes.

Ive heard bad things about the RGT, thats its cheaply constructed. My old Thrustmaster was quite sturdy, but was an average wheel really.
I found this page on the thrustmaster site odd -

http://www.thrustmaster.com/eng/dsp_fam.php?fam=4

Is this true? -

"FGT 2-in-1 FORCE FEEDBACK - The only FORCE FEEDBACK wheel compatible with PC and Playstation® 2"

Another link for the DFP -

Absolute bargain when they get more stock.
