I "work" with audio mainly.
Little amounts of production when I can be bothered, but mostly mastering.
Basically it means I sit about in my pants listening to loud dance music. Which classes me as a bum really. Meh.
I need a proper job that pays proper money.

An offbeat sinewave with distortion, detuning, low pass filter and overdrive at 147BPM.
Bad thing about music production is that you have to triple check every single element of what you're making, and it gets bloody tiresome.

I didn't, my friend did for me.
He started playing (yes, I'll admit it) a cracked version, but enjoyed it so much that he done the honest thing and paid for it.
As we'd play online together all the time, it meant I had to have it too. Off I went to buy a steering wheel, bought LFS, then downloaded it.
Was never a demo-er

What about if we bin it?
Last time I went karting, I crashed.
Last time I went minimotoing, I crashed. And it was filmed.
The shame
I know more "famous" people then people who have famous names :S
Not proper famous people, mind. Just the sort of famous where certain people know who they are.
Closest I've ever come to actually meeting anyone properly famous was when I sat and had lunch with Rubens Barrichello when I was working at Volkswagon UK and he was driving for Jaguar. Both their HQ's were pretty much next to each other and you'd often see him in the food hall

About 35mphish, down one of the big hills near Brickhill (That's near Milton Keynes)
On a proper bike mind, I dread to think...

Some people still have old wheels.
Before I splashed out the amazing amount of cash (... £20... lol) for my wheel, I borrowed some horrible old thing that only had combined axis.
God, it was horrible.
Independent rear suspension isn't rare on RWD cars.
The 2nd gen RX7 (Which the XR's always remind me of) has independent rear suspension.
The rest of the world stopped using leaf springs or live axles a long time ago for RWD sports cars

I am indeed a BCF'er.
One of the "oldskool" though, and haven't really been on there for a long time...
I might be interested. Not that anyone knows who I am I loves me a bit of karting though.
But only if I have my bike license by the time it happens.
Which I should.

I disagreed on a GTR'd LX.
The closest thing to a GTR style Caterham is... erm... anyone?
I dunno, I don't think there is one. But it wouldn't fit in with what we associate a GTR car to be, and it'd have to undergo radical changes to be like one. Like a solid roof, for a start.
Just slapping a big engine and slicks onto an LX doesn't make a GTR car.
RB GTR would be sensational though.

The thing with forced setup usage is that everyone drives differently.
One person may fly around the track with one setup, but someone else using the same one might bin it into the gravel on every corner...

I'd love a hack around AS Nat on a GSXR1000.
Would be epic coming off the final chicane, twisting in the wrist and going down the pit straight on the back wheel

10 points. You win a paper hat.
I don't drive anything with a roof or a centre console. I ride a bike, where I'm central and have no dashboard in front of my face, which is how I like to drive on LFS. Having a bit empty area ahead and to the left confuses the bejeezus out of me and disorientates me quite a bit. Being slap bang in the centre of the car (But, the bonnet cam eliminates all the "Waaah, waaah, you can see the wheels!" moaning people are doing) helps because it's what I'm used to.
You people who actually drive will be used to cockpit view in one way or another, but I'd imagine there's a few more people like me who feel in more control and more at home with their view in the centre of the car.
I'd like the idea of forced cockpit if I could change my orientation around so I could get a bonnet-cam.
I've just changed the custom view in the FXR to a bonnet-cam, and it's cracking fun. I actually prefer it to the wheels.

Perhaps a new view should be added, say a "Bonnet view". Centre of the car, just in front of where the windscreen would be. For certain things, wheels view could be disabled.
A bonnet cam would give us wheels drivers the same sort of position we're used to, but we wouldn't be able to see where the wheels actually are (Unless it's an LX or single seater).
Just thought, forced cockpit in single seaters would stop me using the custom camera placement I use (TV style onboard front facing).
/me shuts PC down so the pub gets a visit...

Learning to race from a different view is easier said then done. Go write with your right hand then, lefty
Computer games-wise, I've been using the on-car view since way back on Ridge Racer, when it was just road and dials, and it's sort of stuck. Coupled with years of being on the road viewing it all from inside a lid, with nothing in front of my eyes except a bit of see-through plastic hasn't helped one bit. The cockpit view on LFS is good, and I can drive with it, but nowhere near the pace I can in wheels view, due to my prior experience on games and in the real world.
Are you right handed?
Go and write something with your left hand.
Same principles, hard to switch over.
Terrible comparison there from me, and I've still not left. Bloody forums.
To me, the wheels/custom view is really realistic, but I ride motorbikes, so I'm used to not having a "Technical Grey" dash in front of me.
Wheels view to me is almost the same as being inside my bash-hat, just without the lean.
Anyway, I'm off down the pub. At least it's sunny so I can sit outside and have a ciggie.
Edit: Roof-cam would be superb, for watching and for racing.

To an extent.
As I said before, only really with multiple monitors. Obscuring most of the view with the interior on one monitor is annoying.
IMO, of course
Note to self: steal 2 monitors from somewhere...
You say that, but I can see a lot of the more popular servers putting it on just because it's new.
People who think that blue flags mean "Get out of my way" make me chuckle.
Especially ones who think that, and who spam their blue flag bind.
The thing is, some of the quickest people I've seen about in my short(ish) time LFSing are the ones who think and do such things...
I just spam my STFU bind at them, even if it's not me they're spamming it at.

As am I.
I drive exclusively in the "custom" view (Although I haven't changed it, so it's still just a wheels view) and using the cockpit view disorientates me, as I have no feeling where the offside front is.
I'd use cockpit view if I had 3 monitors, as it'd replicate what I'd see in a real car, but with 1 monitor, it feels like I'm sitting in a car with horse-blinkers on.
Just finished two more colours for the iPod FXR's, and added shading to the original.
