had to laugh at the wonderfull "journalism" in the new of the world

apparently berni and his girlfriend were ambushed without warning.


unusual that, usually muggers phone up a week in advance to arrange the mugging with you and what you'll be carrying etc.

wow, a thread about a PS3 game which has an X Box 360 rival and the discussion is being civilised !!!

g11 would be ggreat if you could use accesories apart from either the low power scope or the zoom scope, the way it'ss et up it really belongs in with the sniper rifles as much as the assault rifles.

personnaly my current prefered weapon is the FM with an acog and supressor, makes alovely sniper gun with no worried about holding your breath, far better fire rate than any sniper rifle and you can snap fire from the hip

Quote from Forbin :This game is an absolute stutter-fest for me, even with a GTX480 (latest drivers too).

MW2 is butter smooth.

strange, my pc is getting on abit ( q6700 and 8800 gt) and black ops runs very smoothly.

Quote from aroX123 :Pirelli: Fast times not a priority in first test

what maybe interesting is not the actual times set but the order of the drivers / cars. some teams may find their design philosophies are less suited to the new tyres than other teams.

if you're going to have an "orgams" everytime you look at it, isn't it going to make racing a bit tiring ? also i hope your TV is easy to clean

what a great idea, all year vettel, webber, hamilton and button have to fight their way past other cars but because it's the final race alonso should be allowed to pass everyone


if alonso is "a proper racer" he should be able to "race", i.e. make a pass on some one through his skill and car, not just demand his way past. i would have preffered webber to vettel but im glad it wasn't alonso after the german gp .

Quote from Hotdogxx60 :There's one Holden. To give it to the fords.

lol

not into console driving games / sims myself so i can take an unbiased view so i'll have alook when it comes out.

one thing that has struck me is the fuss about the standard / premium cars and some people on more dedicated forums than this going into orbit about it. why didn't they just release the game / sim with just the premium content and then make the standard cars available as free downloadable content? that way no one would have been complaining about some cars being substandard and the standard cars would have been seen as a freebie extra if you wanted it.

being canadian he's probably used to the the US system where all the teams use the same chassis, the underfunded teams start races then park up straight away and debris "appears" on the circuit just when a driver is looking a sure fire winner

i had a few issues with it (pc version) on tuesday afternoon but by tuesday night the lag and the frame rate problems had disappeared, can't understand why the I7 rig would have problems with it, im running a q6600 and a 8800 gts and it's fine.

re rifles, the enfield (licencing problems? surely its an SA 80) is my favourite at the moment to the extent that i haven't bought anything else despite being almost at level 21

Quote from jagy :i have spend many many weeks creating thoose skins and now they are all gone? so unfair

apart from the subject matter of your skins, if they took you many weeks you really should leave skins to people who either have a bit of ability or aren't trying to do image work on an abacus

just spectated a grand am race, split filed, never seen so many dps, the whole field was in them in the split i watched with the other race about 2/3 mustangs. bit of an accident on the pace lap which ruined it a bit and interesting how many drivers through it off the track early in the race.

lotus is a real marmite car, you either love it or hate it, as toki says it's very sensative but if you can get used to it then it's probably still the most fun single seater in iracing

Quote from spanks :Some people have been complaining about the on board sound of the F1 car.

A while back I set my sample rate to 48000 as suggested by Grant Reeve I think. He said that it may give better sound, but could cause performance issues. It just uses a less compressed sound file. Think of mp3 bitrates, 128 vs 320 vs lossless.

I didn't notice a difference really, but I guess some people are claiming a huge difference in the f1 car (which I think sounds phenomenal). I have very good headphones and an amp fwiw.

Go to your app.ini file in your iracing folder and change the SampleRate to 48000.

The sounds are recorded at 96000, but most hardware does not play back at that samplerate.

part of the "problem" is that iracing try and duplicate the in helmet sounds for incar and people judge their incar sounds by what they hear on TV, if it was as loud as they think it should be inside your helmet with your earpieces in you'd never hear anyone speaking to you.

anyone else remeber the problem the group N sierra cosworths had when racing? occasionally when you went for the brakes the pedal would be rock solid, competely unmovable and you had no brakes, all drivers could do was take their foot off and try again but usually there wasn't time. the journalist / racer mark hales had a bad one of these moments.

original new release template file with williams template in it, purely for your information of course

also trading paints at the moment is downloading williams paints to a fw31 folder rather than the williamsfw31 folder so you'll need to copy / move the files

also sometimes you can't get enough grip to get to the speed where the downforce will push you through the water layer, bit of a catch 22 same as when you're tyres go cold / soft and you can't get the grip to push them hard enough to warm them up

Quote from Chrisuu01 :I'm thinking of buying the vette and radical for some fun in week 13.

just ddi a race in the radical, 34 starters (i was number 34 on grid), left front tyre down to 22% after the race thanks to suspension damage on t1 on lap 1 bloody awkward using paddles to change gear when you have to hold wheel a quarter turn to the left to keep it straight

finished 8th, 4th radical, never made a single overtaking move in race

and as someone said they're always told to try and let the car go off the track, if he'd have braked and they had worked he'd probably have ended up right on the racing line, rosberg was just unlucky to arrive before webber cleared the track. actually it would be interesting to know how much the lack of visability from spray caused rosberg to hit him.

part of the problem is that it's the rookie schedule, lets face it in an ideal world most people would be out of it inside 4 weeks, whats needed is a higher licence mx5 series as well

also it's possible that the car suffers from pad knock off, light braking moves the pads up to the face of the disc so the next press works straight away
