No one is upset with you haha, but that's what you would find in that statement isn't it? Lets try to find reasons for hatred!

In case you cannot read... I simply stated, it's amusing to watch you people that have these major issues with America do nothing but complain and watch news... ABOUT AMERICA. It's like you love to hate, might as well make it the states

Edit: Give me a reason why you came and posted this other than to just start shit on the forums?

Because all Americans are mindless drones that follow Bush.... Yes... excellent....

I hope you cry tonight over how evil all of us are

Edit: I love how so many people are bothered by the US, but wont do anything 'real' about the situation besides complain, moan and whine about what the US does. I guess it's just too easy to not do anything, and even easier to sit back on the sidelines and criticize everything that comes across the 'news' about America. GET A HOBBY! (Or try racing more...)

Quote :But releasing it can never be as fast as releasing a button...(or maybe I am just really crappy at it ).

Actually, that's fairly realistic. If you look at the response times that you can achieve with your hands, compared to your feet, your hands will almost always be faster. You can find this to be true in how fast you can react to a green light on a motorcycle when compared to how fast you can step on the gas in a car. Simply put, the impulses reach your hands and back to your brain that much faster, also it's more natural to use your hands to activate controls

Don't get me wrong though, ask anyone in Taikwondo (sp?) and they can become just as quick with their feet as with their hands. Just takes retraining your brain a bit.

I keep the boxes for my displays and some other larger, more fragile objects. That way if I every have to move, they go back into the original package that it was shipped in, all with form fitting styrofoam and all

Not sure if you participated in the test patches, but this was discussed quite a bit during testing. The final result seemed to have plenty of people pleased. I would suggest that what you're looking at is a very small sample of drivers on a single circuit, and that's it.

Quote :That will never happen. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

This is true. Everything is made from particles of matter, and depending on the outside influences on it's current state of being (gas being burnt), what happens is the heat changes the molecular structure into another form. This includes carbon buildup, exhaust fumes etc. Furthermore, energy can never 'cease to exist' either. It only changes forms. Humans are a great example. What we're made of didn't just come from nowhere. We are the leftovers of cosmic dust and other various elements.

(Not intentionally trying to run this post off topic, I just had a geek moment.)

Ancient cultures used to store urine for the ammonia content just to dye their clothes. I got no problem saving up cat crap if it'll run my car

You guys did see that episode of... Fifth Gear was it? Maybe it was Top Gear... where they took an old Merc diesel and filled it with used cooking oil (filtered of course). The thing ran.

There's many many choices on what we can put in a diesel car, just not many of them have been considered yet.

Thanks for bringing this up for the 8762359862987356987623598629356972634529736529783652937562936529365962359762359726359762359762359721635472308568973426th time. I'm sure the devs will get right on it

Well, XC, I'm in the states with you... and I'd like to question... how far away is this future you're asking about? Cause, I'm not waiting 50 years till I can pick Electric or BioDiesel

I still pick Diesel though for everyday use, considering electric still relies on (in the states) the bulk of it's supply from coal burning stations.

Quote :Starting grid would have to be reordered so that all of the cars in the faster class start before the cars in the slower class, regardless of finishing order. This will reduce the headache for the faster cars in T1

Regardless of how fast you are, it's still your responsibility to pass slower cars safely, not reorganize the game to get them out of your way.

Quote :Strict blue flag enforcement when a faster car is lapping traffic. It should actually be quite easy to pass though, as the GTR cars are much faster than the Mini-GTR cars and the drivers in the faster class should be experienced.

Strict enforcement according to who? There are many different opinions on how people should observe a blue flag rule.

Yes, I do want more cars in the CTRA system though. That'd be great

Thanks very much for restricting mid-race joins on CD3. Already a much cleaner atmosphere due to that. Shame the votes don't work, but I guess that's why people should race on CD4 some *HINT HINT HINT!!!*

Thanks for being flexible with your servers, CD people

Well, sadly, that's what happens on an overcrowded server with lack of authority watching every race. Frankly, if I see a name I know vote to kick someone, I will vote with them, especially if I know they don't just toss out kicks and bans over everything.

Sure it might suck sometimes, but it's the best we have to work with

I only hate hotlappers that bring their hotlapping style to pub servers, with no regard for anyone in their 'hotlap lane'. Please die.

Otherwise, hotlapping is great for improving sets, knowing your lines, brake points and exit speeds. I don't want to see this feature gone, but I'd love to see the hotlapper mentality gone from pub servers

I don't do drag races. In fact, I hate them. Though, in terms of 'realism', as this sim strives to accomplish, there should be some form of tire warm-up in drag races, as in real life.

+1, I hope you get your wish

CD4 wasn't showing in the server list earlier when I tried to find it. I had to manually type the server name in to join, then was spammed by the licence mod in the chat chan, and was unable to start a race. This a bug?

The CD3 server is nothing short of a total nightmare ANY time I join. It's pointless. Period. When you can't even complete a single lap without being full-throttle rear-ended or just plain crushed to death by brain-dead people in T1/T2, the fun is completely gone.

Thanks for your time CD people, I'll be back whenever you get CD4 straightened out. In the mean time, I SUGGEST (not order you, like you claim people do)that you implement some sort of reporting feature if you want to stay above board in all of this. Also extend bans past 12 hours. People do NOT improve in 12 hours...

And with that, I wish you all the best of luck and hope some of you start racing on CD4, instead of conforming and just racing with the constant cluster**** that is CD3

I'm with you Jay. If I hit a curb, I'm already prepared to go on 2 wheels, and I'm already preparing to get myself back on 4. Gotta remember, most of these curbs are hit at how much speed? That's a lot of spring compression

Sweet. Now to wait till the server is dead silent for me to go do some hotlapping! That way I don't have to dodge T1 wrecks
