my g/f's laptop number pad is turned on and she can't turn it off.

she has a toshiba laptop. it uses a "fn" key to activate special things like the number pad but she can't seem to turn the number pad off, so she's unable to type the letters u,i,o,j,k,l, etc....

can someone tell me/us/her how to turn it off please? i'm not with her but i've given her a link to this forum so she can read the answer.

thanks,

Steve

Quote from Lex77 :

The force applied to the wings in flex testing is 500N (roughly 50kg).

It's pretty simple though, as soon as Ferrari really gets accused of cheating, they'll just return the favor (and rightly so) and we'll have another "multiple-team-wing-upgrading-session", like the one we saw after the first (two?) race(s) of this season.
It's indeed the pott-kettle-black thing going on here.

By changing the used force in testing, to one that's a bit more realistic, they could probably narrow down the opportunities to "cheat legally", at least in this particular area.

A bit of a weird one here. Clearly WAY over budget, but it works.

can you upload the actual level so those of us with the full version can check it out?

speedfreak227

alright, i bought it and i paid the canadian price.

but now i'm stuck on level 9

gimme time, i'll figure it out

speedfreak227

it's strange how they worked their pricing. normally you click "buy" and you get charged an equivalent amount in your own currency. these guys give you the option to pay in differnet currencies.illepall

right now the japanese yen is about $3 cheaper than the USD price.

i'm thinking of buying it and i'll be paying in Yen if i do.

is there a website i can visit to learn what that means? some sort of english-web translator?

speedfreak227

i'd love to see them take a ferrari car and put it in a windtunnel for "active" testing.

Quote from Pegasus :

Quite often when I'm driving along the straights of circuits completely flat out I've noticed people driving the same car are faster than me and easily overtake.

Can someone explain why this is so? I've tried using different setups but I'm still slower.

one other thing to remember, the most important corner on the track is the one before the longest straight. it's better to enter it a little slower so that you can exit that corner with as much speed as possible.

the trap most new racers fall into is coming INTO a corner as fast as possible, which comprimises their exit speed. on almost every corner it's more advantageous to lose a little time coming in so that you have more speed coming out. especially if there's another corner very close after that first one. you need to be in the correct place to take that one.

speedfreak227

sell some crap you own. we've all got a few things that we can sell off.

Quote from -SE1Z- :

I go to regular trackdays in my own vehicle.

We are instructed to indicate to show the overtaking car which side to overtake...

e.g. i put my LEFT indicator on, they pass on the left.

THAT is what i wanted to hear. a rule that's applied on track. i thought that was the way it was done but just wasn't sure.

from now on i'm going with that. i'm pretty sure that's what i've seen in 24 hours of le mans.

Quote from richy :

its common sense to signal what YOURE going to do not what you think the other driver should do. you dont indicate on the roads to tell people where they should go? illepall

if you watch the 24 hours of le mans a lot of drivers actually pull to the right hand side of the mulsane (sp?) straight and signal left. i was just wondering if there is a standard.

i'm not lapped all that often but i was just wondering if there's a protocol.

speedfreak227

are karts allowed on the neurburgring norschlief?

if so, does anyone have a video or a link to a video?

i'd love to try it personally but i'd be scared to death of getting run over.:tombstone

Quote from Gunn :

Since so many people disagree on what a turn signal means during racing it is perhaps best never to use them at all. If someone needs to pass you then they can do that by themselves. Under a blue flag just hold your normal line through corners and stay to one side on a straight and they can find their way past without having to quess what you will do. There's no need for swerving to one side or using indicators, in fact many drivers would prefer if you didn't do anything at all, just slow a little on a straight section to let them pass easily.

i usually try to be predictable if i'm being lapped but sometimes when going through flat out kinks or corners like on the main aston straight the lappers will end up nailing me anyways. oh well. thanx for all your help everyone.

speedfreak227

ok, thank you. now can you tell me which key does left signal and which one does right signal?

as for F9-F12, i know about those. i meant CTRL F9-f12 as i've circled in the picture attachment

Ok, I tried and couldn't find where to select turn signals. Where are they?

and what do ctrl F9-F12 do?
