Quote from robt :

I have a similar feeling, when I was on keys brake/throttle was obviously on or off, but I could run much more braking force at blackwood and kyoto than at south city or fern bay even with an identical setup. Kyoto has always seemed generally grippier to me for some reason. I'd like to think that there was something modelled to make the tracks different.

Obviously tracks like Kyoto have a very smooth surface (no bumps) so you can run much harder and lower set resulting in better brake performance.
That doesn't mean that LFS doesn't model different friction coefficients though

Button had the first pitcrew for the last 2 years...

Anyway, big thankyou to Pirelli (and FIA) for making the tires the way they are so that multiple strategies are possible again.
Awesome race by Webber, I think he found his motivation again after this race.
My heart hurts when I look at the Williams performance, at least both cars finished this time.

You should stay away from the stuff I choose... I went for Renault.

Maybe I overlooked it but my guess is that the AI won't be able to drive the open configs?

Guess I won't be using the williams chassis again anytime soon... :worried:

Rear brakes needed to be replaced

Yes would be nice if we had a 'April Progress Report' in the next few years.....

LFS is still fun for me, just join a league with cars you have avoided so far and you'll enjoy it

Anyone noticed that Ferrari pulled the "Alonso is faster than you, do you understand?" card right after Button "passed" Massa? I know it's allowed now, but it is the first race of the seasson ffs...

Quote from Senninha25 :

They still have many parts to make before that car is complete, so they're just recycling last year's car's parts.

HRT is a big joke anyway. I expected them to bring the "some parts a still in customs, so we can't drive/race" BS again.

Dean,

the control panel (http://www.500control.co.uk/) is still not working for my account

Good they were caught, child porn is absolutely horrible.

But it get's me wondering, why they made such an obvious net page? Guess they were not the most clever one.. and as you say, how can such a page last for so long before someone notices it?

And this is where it gets weird... apparently the US broke up that ring in 2009... http://www.accessnorthga.com/detail.php?n=225037

It's kind of sad the chipmakers nowadays still make these kind of poor chips. With shared memory and stuff. :fp:

Well, not every notebook is supposed to be a gaming one. And it's more than sufficient for the normal use.

As my notebook has a Intel GMA X4500HD (which is the same according to google) I can tell you it's not one for gaming. LFS, while not very gpu hungry is still on the edge of being playable (around 28 fps (lowest) on south city in single player, with lowered settings).

I don't care about it, since it's my "workbook" and is used for matlab and the occasional CAD programm, but it's definatly not a decent gaming gfx.
(Could be down to the driver, but Toshiba doesn't seem to care about updating their branded one)

Franky?... PM, answer?

Dean, I sent you a PM a while ago and am still waiting for an answer from your side.

I might be wrong here but usually there is no difference in terms of hard disk between internal usage and external. For instance my external USB drive is a sata drive stuck to a USB connector...

No idea if the same applies for eSata, but i think it should.

EDIT:
obviously you need to an external drive with a notebook size type (should be 2.5-inch)

I'd say boot up the windows install disc and see if you can select the esata drive.

edit:
why not replace the faulty harddrive inside the laptop?

is rain part of the demo?

This is a first time in many years that there are some "bigger" / longer issues. Up until so far 500 Servers and Dean have always provided us rock solid servers and great support.
