SSSSSH.... don't tell TODD yet... we've just got him to take off his leathers!!!!!

Quote from geeman1 :

I don't get what is the point of using hamachi here.

none really unless you use a dodgy copy of a game

you don't need hamachi to run a source server at home. Hamachi is used a lot to create servers and spoof they are being played on LAN........

Hamachi is a great tool though...

Quote from Mille Sabords :

Wrong again! that is LFS oval cruise server

ROFL!!!!! rumbled

Quote from whitey6272 :

Its the racing equivalent of WoW

like ZOMFFFGGG!!

WHAT WHAT WHAT>.. you kidding me? All I have to do is get a heavy weight for the accelerator pedal and then go away for 30 minutes while my car goes forward

Quote from Doorman :

I've got my leather helmet and goggles out of the attic! They still fit.

something tells me you're not joking either!!!!!

Doorman is now known as Biggles

I've been with Eclipse for about 6 years now and it's always been superb.....

the support has always been great too.....

Quote from Origamiboy :

I paid for the year subscription last July, and am happy with the way iRacing is progressing. However when I paid for iRacing in the middle of last year the exchange rate was just over 2 dollars to the pound. At the moment it is $1.47 to the pound.

Thats quite a hefty mark-up on an $170 subscription! Just over £30, to be exact... Whether I will be able to justify spending that much extra cash compared to last year on a new subscription is anyones guess....

Yeah, I was thinking that too.... massive hike!

One thing I do like about iRacing is that everyone that takes part is contributing to the cost of running game servers and websites for leagues etc.... Something that a lot of people forget costs money for in other games like LFS, rFactor etc!

Quote from JeffR :

Note that the credit card is being used for a "rolling subscription", which will automatically start billing you unless you take action to cancel the subscription. There was a complaint about this on the RAS newsgroup.

If that's the only complaint then that's not bad

Quote from AlienT. :

If you reach 5.00 I will personally fly over to the states with a bottle of champagne for you. You'll need to show me a screenshot though

can't we just pay for his flight to meet us in the dam?

maybe www.speedtv.com or http://www.veetle.com

Quote from UncleBenny :

Finally got my 4.0 so I can race the modifieds online, things seem pretty clean there so far. Ran out of gas with like 20 to go though. Didn't realize the setup I downloaded didn't have the right amount of fuel and I've never refueled during a race before, I was all the way up to 3rd at that point too. If I end up going with the full year subscription I'll probably spend alot of time in this division, so much fun to drive.

I'd like to try the Impala SS though I think I have a long way to go in Oval racing first. The Chevy Silverado is hard enough for me!

Quote from The Very End :

I am going to laugh my ass off of all the sad people who will soon realise this is just a maintaince and not a patch

patent that one if it works! You'll make millions

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

The announcement says 'planned maintenance', which makes it sound like they're just tinkering. Although I have joked about it being something, I won't believe anything from any of you guys until I see it with my own eyes!

Victor is far too 1337 to tinker!!!!! Didn't you know that Victor is so far ahead of the rest, he's now 1338!

Quote from The Moose :

( I heard Andy was really disappointed when he found out what the "Whats going on at da Ring?" thread was really about )

Didn't SamH close that already?

Quote from AlienT. :

Edit: Anyone racing the 20:00 GMT Radicals at Lime Rock?

too busy with the Mazda mate - woohoo.....

Quote from The Moose :

There are a lot of true things in that post, but the fact is there are many times you cannot legislate for people ramming you up the arse. I've been in incidents (and seen many incidents) where the only way to avoid being rammed would have been to drive off the track. You have to expect better judgement of braking distances and speeds from people behind you. I'm still firmly of the belief that its 99% of the time the fault of the person behind. (if you start braking 50 meters earlier than normal then you deserve everything you get mind you )
There are plenty of idiots out there still, even on higher licensed servers. It's good that you've managed to avoid being taken out, but plenty of good, spatially aware drivers are still getting taken out, through absolutely no fault of their own.

Anyway, i wouldn't take much notice of what Don says anyway. He's one of the most obnoxious c**** I've ever come across in sim racing.

100% agree Moosey! I've been taken out quite a few times by people that blatantly have not practiced and gone straight in to a race! However, I don't give a shit. At the moment just love practicing in the Mazda on VIR... insane! Sad that I'm still 5 seconds off Huttu's time

best wishes with the project and new outfit

your webpage looks really great... clean and easy to find everything...

Quote from Rappa Z :

Really, that's crap. Didn't think I'd have to wait weeks now for a license that I would've finished the requirements for in the next two hours.

Remember though that once you have a class D license you can then drive class C cars as long as your SR is above 4.0.

So it's not all doom and gloom! Remember that when you get a license upgrade your SR drops by 1.0 anyway... so if you did jump up by two licenses that would be a drop of SR of 2.0 so wouldn't be right

Get your upgrade, spend a week doing TT and a few races to get your SR up and bingo

Quote from Rappa Z :

Hate to ask another question, but if I reach a 4.0 and do two more races will I be able to skip D license and go straight the C license?

simple, NO

Quote from Crommi :

StableX: About setups, I'm using http://www.iracersresource.com/ because it's fast and easy for both uploading and browsing for other people's setups. It's still fairly new site so go ahead and contribute

I would do but I prefer to build up our owhn database of setups for a variety of racing games

go for something like Day of Defeat Source if you like shooting games. Its a great game for the $$$

Quote from obsolum :

Although it looks fabulous I'm not really planning on playing it any time soon as it seems to require a lot of time and dedication, and I don't have that at the moment. Maybe in a year's time when things have settled down again and I have enough room to setup my computer properly...

I've got a Saitek joystick with rudder and throttle axis in a box somewhere. Haven't unpacked it again yet since I moved house a little over a year ago. I sure would like to have a go with this sim, though

Cool mate... I am going to try it some point soon but I agree, I know its going to take a good few months just to understand the cockpit properly...

Seems the DVD version is almost there and coming very soon:
