(a)distance travelled = vt + .5at^2 = (0*10) + (.5*10*10*10) = 500 m
(b)can have several answers. You didn't state any time limit, so really the car could take 20 minutes to come to rest if the driver wants to, or a matter of seconds. You'd need to ask for a magnitude of "deacceleration" (which is still actually an acceleration ;-) ) to come to rest within so many seconds.
In case you're still confused, a rar file is very similar to a zip file(considering you know what zip is). It's just a different way to compact several files into one.
I went from 60 fps with VSync enabled and App. Controled AA and AF to 110 fps with VSync disabled plus changing to 4XAA and 8XAF. It looks tons better and smoother. With only the VSync change, it's like a 60-70 fps difference.
With my car I believe the gas light comes on with 1/8 tank left, and at 1/16 tank the light starts blinking. I've only seen it blink in one instance, but was still able to drive about 10 more miles to a gas station. I think Danowat will make it just fine.
From what I've seen people start voting for a restart after a minute or two anyways even before the autorestart takes over. I too would like a little longer break to rest the hands, but I can understand that others want to race. I just spectate for a race and enjoy watching any close battles.
I finish third, but shows me in fourth; finish first but shows me in second. Out of the 22 or so races I did today those two are the only ones it has done that too. There was a player lagging kind of bad at one time in that server, but can't say for sure if he was present during those particular races. I attached a picture for better clarification. Just a little bug or just lag?
Alright I just looked at the race details. The people placing "first" in those two races(albatorddgma and JuppDerWurm) both had DSQ. So that's got something to do with it I guess.
XRT is the most fun to use. Thanks to these STCC servers I finally learned to race with the XRT. It made me realize how boring the FXO really is. Driving the FXO makes winning a race easier, but I get much more joy seeing the fast XRT's whoop up on the FXOs :-P
If I want to pause the game offline I should be able to pause the game. Someone would have to show me some real proof that pausing during a hotlap can help make a lap time better. I believe someone really has to be "in the groove" to set a WR time. Changing your concentration the slightest bit to hit the pause key, and then making sure your wheel and gas or brake are in the exact position when you unpause as they were when you paused is near impossible. It's more likely to slow you down.
Pausing isn't possible online, and is possible offline. Just as it should be.
Looks like he could have swung a bit wider and missed contacting you. But then again, depending on which view you use you could have seen him in your mirrors and turned inside to let him pass since his speed was like 3 times yours. However, retaliation wrecking is certainly not tolerated and he should be banned for that. Cussing is also a bannable offence.
You also made a stupid move on the last lap trying to overtake second place. Shouldn't have tried to squeeze in there :-)
