Quote from skywatcher122 :You cant blame Animé popularity among foreign fans, but when I have some free time from work. i'll translate BM videos for everyone (need some team tho)

It's a given anime is wildly popular but I still would've thought there'd be enough of a fanbase for BM to spawn fansubs.

Anyway, your contribution would be incredibly appreciated!

I can't believe there aren't people out there doing Fansubs of Best Motoring.

Lots of fansub anime.

No fansub Best Motoring. C'mon really?

More thoughts...

Previously I complained about not liking how the cars felt mid corner. It was hard to adjust the radius of the turn. More or less the cars all washed into understeer mid corner.

Not anymore! Specifically while driving the KS2 I noticed it as more front end bite overall. If you bleed speed mid-corner the front end tightens toward apex predictably and linearily. I'm feeling like the car can be driven a lot aggressively now. Nice!

The Vintage is a lot of fun.

Somehow I feel that the FF1600 and FF1800 should drive in a similar way. That is, always on the verge of oversteer, completely throttle steerable. But the FF's aren't like that. They feel completely dead after fighting the KS-V around.

The tire skid sounds are more abrupt than before. More abrupt longitudinally than laterally.

There are LFSers on CR!?

Quote from Flame CZE :Yes, Mattesa, I feel the same. I cannot go throught the turn smoothly, I either go wide (even if I am slow enough) or I spin into the runoff. Maybe it's because I don't play nKP much. Although, it feels a bit odd for me.

It's something one can definitely get used to, but it's strikingly bothersome when coming straight off of another sim.

Feels good to be back in an NKP car.

But what happened to the FF1600? It plows like a plow. No grip on the front end at all. I think generally all the cars in NKP don't feel "bitey". Even the KS2 with it's tremendous grip, the first mm if steering input feels a bit numb.

So on the topic of understeer, does any else find it odd how the cars behave in a steady low speed turn? It feels very non-linear and very hard to adjust the radius of the turn, or even keep the radius of the turn by modulating the throttle. Very rubber-band like to go from understeer -> push wide, to less understeer -> tighten. There's no gradual increase / decrease radius with speed increase / decrease.

That is... compared to iRacing, LFS, and real life.

Quote from TexasLTU :Its funny, no? Just before friday I heard so much of "everyone, but Vettel plz plz". Now I see "omg Vettel you're so great". Hypocrites

We can give credit where it's due, but still hate the outcome.

Well... congrats to Vettel and RB.

This was a great season to follow!

Well, looks like this isn't going to turn out the way I want it to.

Picked up a new video card and finally got in a proper try (was set to buy a GTX 460 on sale but just before stepping into the store I found a 9800GT that was on an even bigger sale).

Initially had massive massive massive stuttering issues even though I was getting a solid 80 fps or so (apparently this is common). Played around with the settings semi-randomly and now it runs smoothly.

The MX5 is not slidey like the Solstice.

Quote from JJ72 :I don't think G suit will do, fighter pilots in heavily banked turns are fighting vertical Gs, but F1 drivers in corners face pure laterial G, the neck simply won't coupe with it. well before dedicated training and some freak of nature prove otherwise.

From watching the on-boards, the drivers only see the peak G loads for a split second.

As opposed to say... a Red Bull air race where the pilots might see 5+ Gs for several seconds. Even they dramatize the peak G "10.5 G !!!" but that is only for a split second too.

Ahhh, okay, thank you!

Okay.... for the first time ever I am totally effing lost.

How do I find the equivalent of what (used to be) the Rookie Solstice series? In other words, where do I go to race the Solstice or MX5 on tracks which I do not have to pay extra for? Someone hold my hand and guide my mouse please.

FFS...

Team: "Sebastien, how's the light level?"
Seb: "I can't see sh*t"

Team: "Lewis, how's the light level?"
Ham: "It's fine!"



How different would it have been if they had given in and stopped the race early?

Just tried re-seating the card and re-reconnect all wires to no avail. I'll be on the lookout for a new card. Thanks for the reco's. FWIW the broken card is a EVGA 8800, only 2.5 years old.

Dang... almost bought a G25 from them years ago. Decided not to bother with the shipping and bought it local. Since then G25 / 27 have appreciated.

TBH I'm shopping in the $150 range. And did you know NCIX has expanded into Toronto?

Why?

Why must my video card crap out on me at such an inopportune moment?

I'll probably sign in for the 3-month deal regardless.

(BTW does anyone know the solution to fixing a screen full of wavy pink lines shortly after start up? A condition that doesn't happen with the mother board video output, but does from the video card?)

Quote from Töki (HUN) :Got the 3months for $12 mail yesterday, but I renewed my sub 2 days before of course... Luckily the code still worked yesterday evening, even if was for inactive accounts only... :P Soo spent $24 and I'm subbed for 4 months now.

Saw this as well and I'm definitely going to go for the $12 deal. Going to wait until the last possible moment to re-sub though. I want to try the MX5 and waiting as long as possible will give me the best chance in case the release is delayed.
