Just the one vid of me have always tried to do more but never get past filming it on the webcam and then giving up. Lots of fails in there too, intro is out of time until the drums kick in properly.

Good racing tonight, logged on for a couple of races and managed to get some good banter and some brilliant racing! Can't wait till I come home tomorrow - straight back on there!

Mine runs fine, although I get really low FPS even with everything on low and 800x600, and i have no force feedback.

Anybody else think its the most depressing day of the year? If your single - that is.

Its the great day when all the couples get together and rub their love in the faces of everyone else.

Who's with me?

Force feedback probably doesn't make you physically be able to go faster, but it makes it a lot easier to go faster. Its also much better for things like drifting or controlling slides, if you have a good wheel like the G25 you can almost let go of the wheel and the car will countersteer for you.

My quick tip: If you want to race at high speeds on an oval track very close to other cars, use your mirrors!

Go to My Computer, Find the drive, open it, go into all of your Program Files, My Documents..etc See how big they are - then delete things you don't use.

There aren't any tools in existance that will just give you extra space.

What a pathetic family.

I hope their house burns down and they have to move somewhere thats no where near a racetrack.

What the hell do the expect if they bought a house next to a track!

I never see G25 problem threads, I've had one for a year and its as good as it was when I first got it.

The Forumla Force EX isn't very good - its okay for a beginner but something like a DFP would be much better.

Quote from theirishnoob :wait wait then wait some more...


it is kinda worth buying... but the only problem is one year is great, then a year later boring with no releases then the year after some updates and maybe a new car that you dont like, then the cycle repeats

Playing one game for a year means its a bloody good game. Most games on xbox people buy and put down after a few weeks. LFS is great fun.

Quote from BAMBO :Well I know that today's racing cars are extremely safe and the death percentage per year has dropped a lot although I will agree that you can still die . I understand that your average Joe won't afford an F1 team but for the price of a 401, a pair of Razor headphones, a Logitech G25, etc. added up might cost as much as competing for a year in a modest league which I believe would be more rewarding then a simulation could ever be.

Maybe but there is still no argument in the subject. The idea of a simulation is to provide a realistic experience for something that can't be done every day. Flight simulators let a random person fly a plane - for however much the game costs. Same with driving sims, Rfactor lets you drive F1 cars, GP2 cars, Rally cars and pretty much everything else out there on almost whatever track you can think of. You'd be spending millions, probably billions to do that in real life.

And who says you need to buy a set of those razer headphones? I use a £30 set of Steelseries gaming headphones and they're better than almost anything else I've heard gaming wise.

Your also forgetting the minimum cost of sim gear. You can buy a used DFP for £50, LFS for £24 and use the inbuilt speakers on your monitor to still get a pretty realistic sim experience. You can't even get to the other end of the country on a train for that much, never mind race in a series.

I've not heard of being able to emulate PS2 games yet but my initial thoughts on the DX10 idea are that it won't do anything. Only DX10 coded apps can really benefit from a DX10 enabled OS, and since a PS2 game on an emulator probably wasn't coded for DX10, it won't make any difference.

Let us know if you get it going though, GT4 could be awesome with a G25!

Quote from pb32000 :Err you could always buy GTA4 for the PC?

Read closer, GT4!

Quote from BAMBO :why not just do the real thing?

Because its a lot harder to kill yourself infront of a screen than it is in a race car. And also - you can't just "go and do the real thing" if you want to drive in F1 car or race Nascar.

Well here's an interesting twist, My Grandad rang up (he's big into astrology and physics) and said that its Sirius. He's a member of a specialist star watching thing and apparently its not Venus.

Quote from mcintyrej :Pretty much, not very high in the sky. I've just signed up and posted on an astronomy forum about this, see what the experts think of it.

Edit:

The internet wizards say its Venus! Oh well, goodbye doomsday.

Quote from sinbad :Venus methinks.

Quote from Shotglass :thought it was too bright to be venus but the low early night position must have it lit unsually strong

Quote from lerts :its mars noticed myself long ago

Sorry lerts, the internets are against you.
