Quote from dougie-lampkin :S1 can be demo only if the engines are removed

Having said that, if/when S3 comes out, making S1 the new demo mightn't be a bad idea. The S1 users who've payed for S1 content would still get S1 content

Try to remember that s1 drivers paid so that they can have more than demo drivers. To thin down s1 would be to take away some of what they paid for. It would be like sky cutting down your channels but charging you the same fee. I say leave s1 as it is and improve demo a little. The only other option would be to not let anyone else buy s1 and give the existing s1 drivers an upgrade to s2. You just can't sell something and then take it back or even a part of it.

funny thing, tonight I was sent a setup that allows the xrg to do over 100 in reverse, I wasn't that impressed. I was also told you cold make the FBM do nearly 250mph with tweek, however, it will get you banned. Well let these idiots get banned, the sooner it happens is the better for the rest of us.

Are all us demo drivers going to be tared with the same brush? I have no intent on cheating, cracking, hacking or any other exploits. I simply come here for a game which I can't really afford.

And shadowww, even if you did mistype those profanities, don't you think you need to grow up a little? Even if it is mistyped, my children still understand it.. tell me, do you kiss your mother with that foul mouth of yours? Another thing, its people like you who also give demo drivers a bad name!

What a great idea. Make S1 the new demo!

Oh spiderbait, my ears burn.... you must be talking about me? I scrape the penny's together just so I can put food on the table, would love s2 but will settle for s1 if and when it becomes an option. There is no point in getting rid of it, some people have already paid for it and I don't think they would be amused if they had paid a subscription to something that's not going to be about for much longer.

Quote from Greenseed :i sujest you FORMAT right away.

That is a very bad thing to tell someone to do, I would try other things first. A virus would be the last thing I would think it is.

Have you considered moving your computer to another part of your house? It could be some other equipment in close range is causing this problem. It is also worth making sure your router is unplugged as phone lines often carry interference. Another thought is to unplug everything else in your home as you may be getting it from the mains. Try changing the power cable on your pc. Unplug your fans one at a time. Try different speakers. Pull the battery from your mobile phone. Check all the lightbulbs in your house are well fitted. Ask your neighbors if they are running any equipment, particularly radio equipment. I know when my neighbor uses her old kenwood chef it causes my speakers to crackle a little. When the spotty kid over the road starts his moped I get TVI. Don't always assume its your hardware. I would say its best to remove all other possible problems just to be sure. Another thought is, when did you last dust the inside of your computer case? There are thousands of reasons you could be suffering this problem, pinpointing the issue is going to be the hardest thing to do, even something as simple as an alarm keyfob can cause these problems. If you have crossed every idea you can think of... plug in another sound card, it could just be your intergrated sound card is turning its toes up. I reciently (about two days ago) installed a new sound card because I was getting strange noises from my speakers, the problem is now fixed!!!

As the problem is the sound of music, I actualy think you should investigate into what equipment is being used in your area and look at processes running in the background on your system. Could you have one of those annoying local bedroom DJ's? Or someone with a home studio? Pirate radio?

Sick as it may sound, all I can say is... Yay for Euthanasia Day! Yeah, I forget about the characters being the same! I'm glad you see things my way, cheese and crap are entertaining and top quality comedy! Maybe if its not supposed to be cheese or crap it gets more entertaining and comical? Well done Silvester, you entertained me again with your cheese, it makes me think of demolition man where Wesley Snipes was almost as cheesy as Silvester.

After reading this thread I had a bit of inspiration that could help FiXeR_nl with his request. A few years ago I purchased a joystick with auto fire. On the back of this joystick was a dial to set the speed of the auto fire. I have today dug out this joystick and plugged it in. I have tried to see the auto fire at the throttle and tune it to hold an accurate speed. It does work to some extent, the acceleration either climbs very slowly or drops very slowly. It will not hold a consistant speed, however I think its the closest your going to find to what you want. The only advice I can offer is.... go and have a good look around the joysticks and joypads avalible and see if any of them have a simalar system where you can set the autofire speed.

Another bit of advice, get that wall brick you have been talking about and chew on it for a while.

You kind of contradict your self there. What you consider cheap and what I consider cheap must be two different things, I remember it costing me about 500 per season and that would be without racing fees, that was just the (cheaper option) bangers. Now on to the rally, that racked me up in the thousands and I only ever had one car! Having done karting myself I have to ask, are you so rich you didn't notice the cost difference between a touring car and a kart? Really, get real! Uh-hu Where did you try these? On your ps2?

"I would disagree." And "mixture of money trouble" And "At the moment I'm saving all the pennies to hill-climb/sprint the Locust 7 next year"

The orignal post by danowat contained: "To fund this, I am going to have to flog my bike, and various other bits"

Are we getting there now???

I used to race a little... if you consider banger racing at ringwood as racing, or mashing up a sierra at sunseeker rally as taking part. Did try a few karting comps too, in reality it hurts the pocket more than its worth and thats why I have only tried a few times. If money grew on trees I would with great pleasure spend the rest of my life making a mess on the tracks. I guess I found scaletrix to be cheaper, add a cat and it actualy becomes entertaining, split the track, solder some connections and make a jump! Now you turn it into an art. Big grin Really, if you want to race, dig deep or find some very friendly joy riders! Shrug

Pull my mouse far away so that the signal cuts out, its kind of like having cruise control. Swig on a bottle of wine as it saves washing a glass, push the cat off my lap, re-light my Rollie and manage to flick ash slickly over my keyboard. If I have time I pop of the room to look for cheap flights on teletext, hang out the washing, polish the car, vacuum the living room and cook dinner..... I know you don't believe me! I do it all just after I pop into the phone box and put on my superman outfit.

Yeah, the truth is... I just watch the screen like every other lfs addict here!

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :I think some people just assume because a movie is old and crap it must be a classic and therefore any newer version will be rubbish. When infact the original Death Race is a cheesy movie, with crap sped up chases and stunts, and the new version might actually make the concept watchable for more than 5 minutes. The best part of the old Death Race is the tyre sounds are taken from tarmac roads, but they are on dirt paths.

Death race 2000 was laughable, and in no way was there anything classic about it, unless your talking about the classic Silvester Stallone. The new release Death Race is supposed to be based on the original movie, I personally think "inspired by" would be a better way to put it as the new release is nothing like the old movie. What happened to euthanasia day at the hospital? that bit was great!

Quote from danowat :Shoot em up was stoooopid with a capital STOOOO.

On the subject of stoooopid films, Doomsday, what a load of crapola.

I will agree, Doomsday was a big bit stupid, it was laughably stupid. In fact, if I could, I would get a refund on the couple of hours of my life that it consumed, however, it comically entertaining because the plot was amazingly rubbish.

Without bad film's the good ones would not impress us.... so.... YaY for bad films too.

Quote :Kids today, calling 286's old lolz!
In a moment some old guy is gonna come along and start talking about punch cards and machines the size of warehouses and make me feel young again [please].

Lets talk about punch cards or maybe not.

As for the 2600 and Pong system, I thought of these more as consoles, as much as they are computers so is a calculator or digital wrist watch. Tanks on the 2600 was amazing, I forgot about the glory of these old antique's. Oh I wish I could of had earlier PC's, however, I was younger and in no position to buy a computer then, I was just lucky to be working for wang when they went to the wall. Call me what you want for this, I will admit that when the offices got cleared out I became a skip raider! who wouldn't? It proved to be very beneficial as I gained 2 computer, a laser printer the size of a small car, a number of old toner cartridges and a laser(about 1ft long and 2inch in diameter). Anyone remember those massive laser printers? I had to remove windows to get it into my home!

Christ, what was there before the personal computer? anyone remember the GEM desktop? or even better yet, the old BBC? that was my first computer! kiss goodbye to DVD's and CD's, in those days people would of been asking "what the hell is an os?" and "What's a rom do?" My first PC was a 286, half the world wouldn't have a clue what a 286 is. I had it before the recession of the early 90's and got it because (thank god) wang went into chapter 11 and IBM lost its primary competition!

Quote from MAGGOT : It's like trying to take Death Race, or Shoot 'Em Up seriously.

I watched Death Race a few nights ago, It was a very tall story but I still enjoyed it. There is nothing wrong with a film being way over the top, its supposed to entertain and if your entertained the film has done what its supposed to do. I think documentaries are meant to be taken seriously, try one of those if serious is what you want! I can recommend the discovery channel!
