There were plenty of full servers when I started going online in mid-2008-ish, but it's now a rare thing to see more than 1 full public server since CTRA closed. It wasn't just people losing hope on the VWS postponement.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I posted it before, now go away.

Pity I couldn't find this video quickly enough to ninja you again.

Had to LOL hard at that little backfire in slowmotion, no better way to shout "low-budget" than that.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

They still haven't fixed it?

The devs only gave a monkey's about Tier 3 all this time, really.

Quote from PMD9409 :

That seem to only happen on certain servers, at least for me.

It's been happening a lot more often lately, but yeah, if you find a server with high ping (about 100+) then there's no chance, getting in the apache is going to make the game choppier.

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Nein, I ment the AH64 with the new updates. If you max out the trainingpoints for it, it's just ridiculously overpowered on Oman and DV. All the ground-units are green dots on your screen, same with all vechiles etc. I think it even can see ground-units thru the walls.

Ah, ok. But to be honest, the AH-64 has been an overpowered helicopter since the MIL-28's hellfires stopped working on vehicles.

I think I'll only be able to see which one's better when the bugs on both helicopters are sorted out, because when you have a heli that makes your game freeze if you look behind and then another heli whose hellfires only work on infantry, it's a bit hard to pick a favourite :/

Quote from Chupacabras84 :

Historix still influenced by terrible rFactor physic, you push the brake a bit more and the car spins, you add a bit too much gas and the car spins, you lift of the throttle as you go into the corner with changes in elevation and your car still spins.
And its doesnt mean it is realistic just because its nearly impossible to drive its only mean that in rFactor even slightest of slides are classified as unrecoverable conditions.

If you want cars from that era my advice would be, go for GT Legends.
IMHO GTL is superior to rFactor in almost every aspect and especially when it comes to physics.

You lose some grip in lfs, Its cool, you are going to drift.
You lose some grip in rFactor, OHHH!!! SHT! FCK!! SHT! FCK!!! FFFUUUCK!!!

So if you like cars from 60-80's go for GTL i think currently its the best sim with vintage cars and since Historix uses textures and models from GTL you wont notice any difference in how it look.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuCbEW1X5NM - your argument is invalid for rFactor.

I do agree with you on the losing grip thing in rFactor, but it's completely up to you to correct the slide, the FFB won't notice it for you as it happens with LFS.
You see, unlike in LFS, rFactor's FFB (even realfeel) won't simulate G-Forces (in most mods), and those G-Forces are what make you notice the opposite lock, it's not the grip and feel of the tyres that will tell you that the car is sliding or starting to lose control.

If you drive a real car, you'll see that while doing a corner, turning the wheel imposes no effort or force, it's only the small G-Forces pushing you and well, "letting you know" that the car is indeed going left or right; if you turned the wheel but the car went straight on, you could notice it with your eyes closed because you wouldn't be pulled to the left or right.

Although I do understand that in rFactor, it's hard to keep a F1 car in a straight line with all the bumps and the wheel pushing to both sides, doing everything except staying on the centre while going flat out on a straight. That's the only thing I hate in rFactor's FFB.

I go with the legendary "SLW 287R" for cruising and for racing I've recently changed to "<------>". Simples!

Quote from EliteAti :

20ºC is like Sahara in Finland.

which is why some of you finns come here for a swim in plain winter weather!!

Quote from Myffe :

Wait....what?

usual temperatures here are always around the 20's, now that it's the beginning of Autumn it's going to 20-17 and by Winter it will be about 10-15º...not much of a change at all, and to make things worse, there's usually a lot of humidity.

Quote from jrd.racer :

+1, shXt its HAWT down here.

It's all tickity-boo over here as well, here in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Nice, cold 20ºC and we still have crazy Norwegians and Finns going to the beach. There's no snow in the mountains yet!

Quote from The Very End :

Still it's better bumping a thread than creating an new one.
I'd say the least of two bad things.

but if he's going to bump a thread, he should at least say so, so he doesn't get as much grief as he is getting right now.

Quote from mill3num :

and when will it?

Have a look at the last post date next time before bumping a thread from a decade ago, sunshine.

Why do people açways choose to bump the threads that will get the most attention?

Quote from DemoMan :

he no play with user. i log in to user and make picture.

You put A LOT of effort into that edit. Wow, that must've taken some weeks, no, MONTHS to do.

(by the way Demo police, bugger off. Snitch. It's his edit that's important)

I know this thread has gone off-topic, but I'm still going for Renault! (how dare you keep it off the poll)

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Bird? I said chopper

But were you referring to the smaller helicopters in the latest map (Dragon Valley) or the other ones before?
(Sorry for being thick)

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

It's really hard with the new overpowered chopper. [/sarcasm]

Are you referring to the littlebird?
It's even harder now that the developers got the players to spend a month playing just to level up (from 20 to 21).

Quote from lukelfs :

Not sure if this has been said already, but it will be set in Los Angeles (Although it's a rumour that apparently is confirmed)

http://kotaku.com/5853279/gran ... -star-multiple-characters

Properly Los Angeles or just a revamped Los Santos?

Quote from TamelCoe :

This better be more like san andreas... GTA IV was bad.

Agree! (EVERY Rockstar game should be like San Andreas (minus the bugs), that game was gold)

Quote from TypeRacing :

It's silly. Aslo it's wierd that admins won't give a shit about those new accounts which are made right after S2 licenced account ban. I think it's wrong. If you are banned, then you should'nt able to post at all. But meh, you are even posting pictures...

there are cases like Shadowww (E. Reijans) whose S2 account got permabanned and now he's stopped being the idiot spammer he used to be.
I don't think Tomba/TamelCoe is going that way though, and who knows what went through his head for him to become an **** in the first place.

Quote from FRZN-95 :

By makin a Multi-Account.

so Tomba got permabanned?

R.I.P Marco Simoncelli, very sad week

Quote from PMD9409 :

Actually a ridiculous amount hate the chase.

Also, more media idiocy. Warning, you will get mad.

I was already fuming after the 3rd paragraph.
Of course, there always are the sensacionalist idiots in journalism who decide to make an unfortunate tragedy a reason why racing should end altogether. Of course, they pick on the large field, the dangerous 1.5 mile track and all the other aspects that made the LV race dangerous. Then they proceed to make up stuff on how racing would've been "shut down" to prevent more deaths, and then start talking about being more strict with safety, proving that they either don't know jack shit of what they're talking about or are just ignoring the numerous improvements done over the years, specially in every sport they (briefly) referred on that article. An article written by some thick bastard who goes on an all-out attack towards something without even getting his/her facts right.
(guess I should've paid more attention to PMD's warning before I went on a rant )

Quote from 5haz :

The fact that Wheldon is named as a NASCAR driver.

I don't really blame him, journalists not getting their facts right just winds people up.

That's a really long list, had no idea there were these many restriction ideas

Can a mod or dev sticky this, btw?

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Had an amnesia attack and posted for #25 again,

Between you and me it's just a question of who's the first one to sign up with the #25, really. Just happened to be two team members with the same favourite number! :doh:

It should just be called the Dallara Wheldon, enough of the stupid codenames for every single-seater.
