Quote from Bob Smith :

Much like getting your faced raped by your horny girlfriend, then.

Hehehehehe You wish!!!

Quote from Intrepid :

why do people have wheels on inside the car? Just seems dumb to me considering the wheel your ACTUALLY using is right on front of your face!!

I don't get this either!! I always have mine off, if its on it looks crap!

Quote from The Moose :

Good points. And as much as admire the guys work i cant see any of the major curcuits with the quality and detail of iRacing's coming to LFS or nKPro any time soon.

I would certainly be happy to see tracks of the quality of Eastern Creek in those two sims though. It's a pity that the LFS devs didnt take him up on the offer (iirc) If nKPro's 1.03 patch revives the sim then hopefully he could approach Kunos with a similar proposition. I'd love to drive that track in nKPro

How hard is it to code in some bumps and cracks into the tracks? This is not sarcasm this is a serious question. I don't have a clue about coding so don't know how time consuming it would be.
But since we are driving on fictional tracks why not add some more fictional bumps?
South City is great!! You need to lift in some of the cars to save your clutch and not spin out. This should be the way it is with all the tracks I think.

Quote from Scrabby :

lolz,
Ok every car manufacterer in the USA will have to mass produce cars with Spinnarz and Big boomboxes. A 9mm gun in front and a .50cal mounted machine gun on the roof are the options on the SUV's. Every civilian of the US of A will have to carry big golden (brushed fake) chainzz and wear gangster shoes with a bandana on top. If not you will be gangbanged and sent to prison with all the good business people.

I really hope your joking? Please say your joking

Mp3 Astra Your doing a fine job M8. Don't let the opinion of one racer get you down.

Quote from BigTime :

Yeah, I really wish I had those replays, but, when we made the switch to LOTA, we never got those replays.



I'm looking into it now but I see nor hear nothing wrong at this point... Let me know if anyone else has problems.

PM Boogle he has every replay going back years.

Looks great Bigtime. Any video with me in it is awesome Also RacerHero spinning was quite cool...lots of smoke and such

Can everyone see the trend in this thread?
4WH we all feel just the way you do ( As well as all the others who have posted here.) on occasion. I find for me volunteering and helping others helps me to feel better.
And I would bet a million bucks (If I had a million) that 95% of the people on this forum have felt the same as the rest of us from time to time. Trust me when I say if you seek some help or understanding from someone it will help you feel better.
It is much harder when you are a teenager. Your emotions are so strong and I know for myself no adult could understand what I was going through.
Well I can tell you there are some of us that do remember what it is like!! I think there are quite a few older adults that play this game that haven't forgotten how to be a kid Thats why we still play video games and haven't conformed to the (You need to grow up and be serious and have no fun club)

Well this old dude needs to go to bed I'm friggin tired.

But I will say this, it makes me happy to see people reach out and help and talk to someone when they need it.

Thanks Everyone for making my week!!!

Quote from Dizman :

A fair few people on these forums have been through some incredibly hard times but you don't see them using it as an excuse for being a little dickless internet homo.

Congrats to XFusion on their new drivers Messy I hope you get sorted and everything works out for you. ..But the post quoted above is a good bit of wisdom. I hope you take it to heart. There are always others who are vented on that have it worse than the person doing the venting.
Just a good thing to keep in mind.

Once again Congrats on the team guys!

Nice Nolan!!

Quote from Danas :

Well, I did try to take some decent pictures. I don't know if there in your level of detail but I think they came out nice.

There good M8 Keep shooting thats how you improve.

The main question is "Did you enjoy shooting them, and do you like the results?" If the answer is yes, then they are perfect pictures!!!

Quote from mrodgers :

ant = and

Just to let you know and help you out....


Get some pictures and post them up. Camera is just secondary, it's what you create from behind the lens that matters. I'm not the greatest either, but my $200 point and shoot superzoom makes far better images than my coworker's $1500 worth of Canon dSLR and lenses because of what and how I take the photos compared to him.

Need any help, feel free to ask here or even PM. You can PM me anytime. I'm not the greatest photographer out there, nor do I have the greatest of equipment, but I have a lot of "book" knowledge now. I just need to continue applying it to learn. Sometimes you can learn more and easier asking a lot like us than joining in a photography forum full of arrogant pro photographers.

So true!! I hate photo forums because they critique the pictures to death.
Who cares if the subject isn't on the exact 1/3 line!! Do you like the picture or not thats all I care about. Does it grab you by the balls and make you want to see more? This is a good picture to me even if the subject is dead centre.

Quote from Danas :

Well, i read all of the 29 pages of pictures ant what not. I must say im atracted to taking photo's, i just got a low quality 6.2 hp camera but havent taken any nice photo's yet. VERY VERY creative and high-quality photo's guys. Didnt expect to find a bunch of beutiful pictures of nature, animals ant etc in ant LFS forum

First thing to learn about digital photography is that number of "Mega Pixels" that the camera companies like to talk about so much is BULLSH&% mostly!!
After you get to 6MP there is almost no difference unless you are going for huge prints...and I mean HUGE I have printed great 20x30 prints from my Nikon D70 which is 6MP.
Its what you do with the camera that counts not how big your MP # is.

Hmmmmm sound familiar?

The single most important thing to do is shoot lots of pictures.

I know season 2 will be even better than season 1. This series is some of the most extreme and closest racing you can find in LFS!!
If you think the Oval tracks will be boring think again. Going bumper to bumper and door to door for 60-80 laps is a riot, and harder than hell I challenge all XRT drivers and top Teams in LFS to come out and take on this series.
You need to be fast but most of all you need to be consistent.

Hope to see all of you on the track

Quote from Crashgate3 :

I know I'm a bit spoiled with regards to online play from LFS, but can anyone point me in the direction of how to go about getting a good race (or even *a* race) online in rFactor. Every single server is either empty, passworded or bloody Meganes or F1.

I'm *really* liking the Historic GT mod, and would like to actually have other real people to race against. Also, it can't be too strict, I have neither the free time nor the patience for rigidly organised leagues where you *have* to be there at a certain time or else.

Nice MOD named "GRID" Auto updates and everything so all are on the same page!!!

Quote from agm_ultimatex :

Im currently using setups from setup grid. They work pretty well for the most part. Which track are ya referring to by lota? I usually apologize for one, and im sorry that I did not

You joined us on the Oval in the XRT, sideswiped me in the first corner then drove around the track honking your horn at other cars. Seemed like you were new so no one took major offence to it.
Hope to see you around

edit: If your just starting out you should try to take an Endurance set out first to get lots of consistant laps. Then when your up to speed go for a more agressive set up.

Some of you might need to go to jail

How about you too get over to iPricing and talk there
We don't need to hear about your little trists.

Quote from agm_ultimatex :

yeah did some races last night. I ended up getting some points, making a couple new PB's. Was quite fun

Hey M8

Ran into you last night "Quite literally" on Lota 2 . Another good bit of advice is, if you crash someone say "Sorry"
Makes the sting a bit less for the others on the track
Don't forget to ask for sets nicely, most people will give them out No Problem unless its a race set. A good base to start with is Race_S. I know I can hear the moaning from the peanut gallery

Don't worry about what people say about Race_S we race these sets each week on DMR and they ain't half bad
Good luck and have fun. Also come by our server for some fun RSRadicals.

Quote from Dooonster :

his money loss not mine lol

im forking out to get the 50mm next month i wanted it this month but because the guy told my GF that it was the same as mine she said no being the finance person.......

also i want a nice zoom lens but dont want to spend to much on it im looking at the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Dunno if anyone has used it but its cheap and recomended as a beginer zoom lens who are not to fussy

heres a few shots from latley

I'm pretty sure the Canon 50mm f1.8 is as good as the Nikon that I have. By far the cheapest and best lens they make. You can buy it new for $100.00, that is amazing.
I shot a wedding last year right after I bought it almost entirely with the 50mm

MrRogers the only way to get a nice bokeh with a smaller apeture is to get the background further away. No way to do it in this case without a wide apeture.

edit: found a great DIY site for photographers http://www.diyphotography.net/

Guess I'm an arse as well

Across the road from my house. Untouched other than crop and resize. Some great late evening sun just above the horizon in the field behind the camera.



I'm not sure if I shared the following yet here or not....



I've been trying to shoot this guy all summer. He flies over the house and lands down at the river (about 10 miles away). Every time the camera is in the house, except for the other day. They ended up a bit blurry. I've been wanting to jump in the car and try to beat him to the river to catch him land. Interesting how the color of the sky changes through the photos as he passes over. Shot in aperture priority. 1/55", 1/50", and 1/125". No wonder the last one is the only one semi-sharp.







And the last one, me and my youngest daughter. Just playing around coming home from a walk.

WOW love the Tree in B&W. Very nice!!

Here are a couple from fall up here. Northern Ontario doesn't get much in the way of colour either. Mostly yellow

Quote from PMD9409 :

NEVER!

Hmmm I guess I'll just resort to crashing you then

WOW!! Great going Kris

Top team for a Top driver. Now slow down a bit and let us catch up

LOL!! Nice.

I just showed my kids the "Can't eat another bite" skit last week
They were sufficiently grossed out. We now have another generation of skewed senses of humour on the way.
