er RiGun...he said £451.80, _NOT_ £4518.00...over here he would be lucky to get change left after a good night out with that much!

Here, in Argentina, with 451.80 Pounds you would have...
2,869.93 Argentineans Pesos


And the average wage is about 1.500 Argentineans pesos or something like that, well I think that this has nothing to do with this thread so I should stop posting non-sense stuff

Change? can anyone spare some change?

EDIT: People from the UK should come here as tourists, it would be really cheap!

Yey! Now It's time to update your rig and get a nice cockpit :P unless you already have one.

Thanks Jakg and exelent work pdanev!

Didn't do any proper edit for quite a while, but inspired by an official porsche picture I decided to spend some time on this. The zoom/motion blur thing was a pain in the ..., even so it's not exactly like it should be, but this is how far my patience lasted. I also spent some time on getting rid of the rather ugly default reflections on the car. The rest is nothing extraordinary. Enjoy.

I can't get the full size image and I want it for my desktop It's an awesome image, could you fix the url so I can get the 1280px?

I guess it is a proyector with a bended screen, right?

me loves pink and floyd :P

i'd love to have a homming turret on my roof and shoot everything that moves! oh yeah guns :drool:

I believe that it could be done, the ms sidewinder's pedals are nothing but two potentiometers.

I used to play a lot of Quake 3: Arena and loved to use the railgun and drive mad my opponents from the distance, so I started using railgun as my nick but I didn't like it enough so I shortened it a little bit and ended with RiGun, that was like 7 years ago, damn't i'm getting old

LOL those videos are quite bizarre and funny

One day I was riding my bike doing some slaloms and going pretty near parked cars, then the catastrophe, some seeds where spilled all over around a grain truck and when I tried to do the slalom my bike wouldn't turn and I ended under the truck with my bike, there was a LOT of people watching and also there were my friends. I've done a lot of stupid things on a bike, ohh the old good times.

I got over 65.000 km and I'm running since march 2006 =/

Where the hell is Biggie BTW? This should be right up his alley.

I believe that in the last hours of competition he will appear and do a totally extreme record that will amaze us to the level that we will be blind or not.

Quote from Bawbag :

Funny how when I send out setups to people but they run much slower times the setup is "bogus".

Anyway, i've changed a couple of things since I sent it to you Kev, para steer has been turned right down and more rear brakes.

Think of it what you want, but i'm just sick of people demanding online that I waste my run to send them a setup, instead they can come here.

I wouldn't say the set was magical or has any secret to it, it does what I want it to do, so don't complain when you dislike it.

I tried your set and I found it weird, but when I went back to my set I realized it's flaws and changed some things, now I can do better times a lot easier, but still I don't understand how do you go that fast

Quote from XtremDriver :

If you are 1 km away from the cone, it will be hard (impossible ?) to hit it even with a big lag ...
If you are 0.1 cm close to it, a tiny lag can easily put it down even if on your computer you didn't hit it

If you can't understand this, I am sorry

Post a SPR of you doing that 0.1 cm cone dodging, it will also be nice to see how do you steer and use the throttle and brake.

Well, I belive that if the same person is the best in all the competitions he's got the right to the prices, I know that it would be nice to the ones in second and third place to have a better chance, but it's not fair for the winner of the 1st week.

Is it me or xtreme driver is cheating again, look at the replay and you can clearly see that he goes over some cones, some weird stuff going on here.

Well, he must be cheating, he's using a mouse now, why now if he used a wheel before? some kind of input scripting?

EDIT: I watched some other replays and looks like it happens with other ppl, oh well, i guess he's the master of the mouse driving then........

yep the current best time is cutting the whole last sector

The layout is a little bit to understand at first, but then when you learn it is really nice.

The only problem is that I keep hitting thos damn cones! the are driving me crazy XD

Patch X sure is fun, huh?

Lol, priceless screenshot

Quote from Victor :

we did

I was just racing in it and it was a lot of fun! I love you guys

one upon a time, thousands of years ago, i watched Initial D and wanted to drift, as I don't have a car I downloaded a racing simulator called LFS and the light at the end of the tunnel stroke me down and then god appeared and said "my children, do you have a cigarette?" and then I was useless in drifting but quite good at racing, so I understood that god was nothing else but a cart board figure that my brother left behind the window.

Insanity overtakes me.

FWD, maximum steer lock to the track side, full acceleration, release gas pedal about half way, and return the steer to it's center, when you get back into the track be careful when you have 2 tires in the asphalt you could spin if you don't control your throttle.

AWD, same as FWD but a lot easier

RWD, well this is the tricky one, lift of the throttle about half way, and gentrly steer into the track, as you return to the asphalt be very careful, RWD cars tend to loose control when you touch the asphalt with one of the rear wheels.

at least that's what works for me.

Flat shifting gives you A LOT of advantage when racing closely, if you are in a straight line and flatshift while your opponent doesn't you'll gain speed faster, I've been in a lot of situations that i'm side by side with another car and when I change gears the other cars starts to fall behind, so it's really a lot of difference.

Quote from geeman1 :

Scawen told about it in the spanish invasion thread

Here

If you watch closely you can see Columbus and La Pinta, La Niña and Santa Maria, so I guess that in the next patch well have speed boat racing! awesome!

If the AI and the collision system are improved it would be a really nice update, in Argentina our ISPs are horrible and you can have LOTS of packet loss with your neighbor so you see warping cars and sometimes you end being an flying saucer if you don't be really careful.
