What if something happens while you are turned away and panning elsewhere?

Then you'll miss it, but the image you have created in your head will still only fill a total of 360 degrees.

lerts, you're thinking of it like each thing we "see in our minds eye" is a tangible photographic print. Zoom far in to the sky, take an infinite number of pictures while spinning in a circle, line them up side by side and yes, they will stretch further than we can see but:

Quote from tristancliffe :

Your 'mind's eye' isn't seeing more than 360° through 360° though

We, lucky as we are to have imagination, can simply combine all those images that supposedly cover more than one sphere and squish them into our tiny little 360° reality by way of overlapping each image or memory with the next.

Quote from lerts :

i insist the key of my idea is not what you see but the construction in your mind of what you see as you pan

So basically you're trying to tell us that humans are capable of imagination?

You're looking at it.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Things I love:

1. Physics (every other driving game just feels wrong after LFS)

That about sums it up, all the other positive aspects are secondary for me.

While we're wishing, I'd like a talking pony please. What? They don't exist? Well I still want one and someone better give it to me right now....

Quote from Gil07 :

There are no flags, no engine damage, no dirt on tires, no pitstops, i don't know... )

Not too worried about dirt on the tires, for now, but no pitstops or flags? That just seems ridiculous. No endurance races or caution laps for near $200 a year?

im looking at that wheel right now... is there anything cheaper thats still as good?

The g25 is generally accepted as the best wheel for the money, but you may also want to consider a Momo:

Most likely you won't be happy with the results, but yeah, try the demo to see...

I bought it because it has Lime Rock, pure and simple. It was my dad's home track when I was growing up. Despite the games many flaws, and my affinity towards LFS, I still enjoy ripping around there once in a while. The new Mid-Ohio in the 'Vette isn't too bad either.

whoops... thanks

Quote from Spangler_CZE :

The steering wheels on the XRG, XFG and XRT could be a bit more better, anyway great improvements, looking forward to the finall version!

Does anyone happen to know the filename for this new wheel? I can't find it in dds...

Niels, I have to say... I just took your Corvette out to Mid-Ohio for the first time and it was the best feeling rFactor experience to date. The whole "lose the rear more than 10 degrees and you're spinning out at any speed" thing is nearly gone!

Quote from Stigpt :

In rF, whenever I enter a corner too fast (which is about 99% of the time ) I simply slide off the track, helicopter fashion. The most retarded thing is that this happens at ALL SPEEDS.

Next time that happens, steer the opposite direction you would naturally to correct the slide. You'll be surprised that the car will straighten itself out... completely backwards and against all logic but it works for some reason...

That being said, the recently released Mid-Ohio feels better than any track I've tried. The mid-corner elevation changes can really be felt, and all of a sudden the rTrainer feels good!

It was doing ok for a while... now it's stopped completely.

MarioX: that leads to this: http://www.justin.tv/giac2007

I guess thats the only one that works... (except the Dutch RTL for the lucky ones who has it working)

That's funny I was just coming to post that link... for all those in the states that can't get ANYTHING to work!

She does have a nice (read: not awful) voice. The song has decent melody as well but it doesn't strike me as anything I haven't heard before...

No, no no no no, no. To me that sounded like "liiiisteeeen to my dull voooiiiice, generrriiiiic and dull lyriiics, tryiiiing to get a record deal, posh spiiiice knows how I feeeeel".

That too.

Thanks for all the links everyone.

Anyone have a link to an online broadcast?
I'm switching my cable and don't have Speed Channel right now...

One thing I've always wondered since Y...
Why are the colors for the FBM lcd display so earth tone? The other single seaters you can find a nice bright red, amber, blue, etc. The colors available on the FBM dash are all browns and purples and colors you wouldn't expect a display to be. Is gray the only viable option?

For those that could part with that much money without even blinking, sure it would be fun to have.

For the rest of us, this seems like a better deal:

I'm totally using that skin with the cat on the roof.

It's like how really bad horror movies end up being quite funny...

That made my day.

Edit: The 7 and the K kind of look like they have a different cat. You have to turn your head....
