Quote from ATC Quicksilver :and amazing to see Kimi smile so much, what has happened to him!

Probably afraid of Luca's evil grin and trying to act cheerful

In terms of design, I think there are some interesting bits they've come up with.

The nose design on the Ferrari strikes me as being quite fluid. Of course, the car ends up looking like a retarded fish from Finding Nemo, I don't care though. Just the things they come up always appear as something to admire with aero technology --- not looks.

But anyone saying that these cars look ugly, how can they look beautiful to begin with? They are all a common shape, you can't do much else than come up with other little flips and curves, that's about it

I am not convinced that you'd see the sides of the car in LFS. It is said to be like two widescreen monitors, but even with 3 widescreen monitors in LFS you don't get a full 180 degree wraparound. So the only real gain would be slightly more peripheral gain on the side which only adds to the experience a little bit, and doesn't make you any faster or better of a racer.

To be honest, I think it is better suited to flight sims, since most of those have views which are very restrictive towards the front and it blocks much of your view that is important for flight. However, it being so slim and narrow of a view, I'd think that you'd want more vertical area to view your game.

To have a true effect of being 'surrounded' by the game you'd need to have a dome effect. For racing games I guess having mostly a horizontal viewing space is all that you need, but I honestly don't see the gain of having the view on the sides since most of the focus is directly in the middle when driving a car.

Yeah I read about this last night... was pretty amazed that finally more seamless displays are being made.

And this one is pure sex . But it's by Alienware, and price will make me ignore this.

1) Why would anyone use a combined axis setup? What do they gain by using it, even before Patch-Y? Practically all consumer wheels have the option to split the axes.

2) Scawen has stated that even the roadcars have racecar attributes to them. But furthermore, to explore what capabilities the car really has, and to see if any potential issues the physics might have. At the moment, without such a wide array of settings, you would'nt be able to find the issues people have seen with say... full front arb in the fwd car, or locked differential for any of the cars. I think in the future, things will become limited, and patch by patch we have seen this with a few options being limited further. I of course would still like to see a completely stock set of roadcars with only minor available adjustments on them.

3) There is no brake fade, so don't bother saying they have upgraded brakes.
Quote from Syfoon :The rest of the world stopped using leaf springs or live axles a long time ago for RWD sports cars

Don't bother mentioning that to JeffR, when he owns(owned?) a new Corvette Z06 which uses leaf springs .

Both this one and the FZ50 are ugly IMO.

Big fat duck nosed so-called 'sportscar'..... with diecast styling.

Last year they had to skip some stages if I remember correctly... for fear of some rebels looting the rest areas or something.

A shame it has to be cancelled due to these threats

Training needs work since Patch Y. I am sure it will be updated for the final release or upcoming patches.

What ever you put there, at least make it subtle. Maybe something like 'BMW Power', I dunno. Or some kind of tagline.

I may be picky about it, but the empty white space on the engine cowl just bugs me Put something there!

Quote from schwantz34 :i dont like it

I don't like the fact that you constantly post in these skin threads even after you say that you'll stop spamming them. Useless posts. Lets see some skins, not chatter. Thank you!

BTW, I like it Teaz-R

Quote from beefyman666 :Another Formula BMW replica, this time it's Valle Makela's #5 car.

Again, no name/flag. Edit only the number and add your own name/flag. Edit nothing else.

2048, not uploaded to LFSWorld.

Enjoy.

Sweet!!! My colors, and I'll use it when online .

Is it the underscore that causes this? It seems I only notice it mostly on usernames that have an underscore somewhere in the middle of the name. I'd much rather have it just display the name from start to finish with as many characters (8?) as it can display.

But how many sound systems need 3 light systems, a FF pad for your keyboard, and dual fans? lol. Buy speakers for sound enjoyment, not an entertainment disco.

It is just fancy stuff that techy consumers want to buy for "wow coooool!!!" factor, and further extend their bad debt. Would get pretty old fast in my opinion (the lights and the fans). Secondly I don't want a blue speaker set

$400 for a 2.1 set at only 160watts combined? Sad price, 80watt subwoofer is weak, and I'd much rather just buy a decent set of 5.1 speakers. Not to mention that these are USB, which is a big no-no for audio devices. If you're just in it for the fan, wait for something SPECIFICALLY just a fan from some company. I am sure it will pop up soon.

Logitech Z5500's (which I own) costed me $300 about 2 years ago, and they are probably even cheaper now. 500 watts combined 188 watt sub.

Sometimes I lag out of a server, and die Everyone wonders where I went, then suddenly I have Captain-Planet-like powers and come back online/alive.

There are other times when someone messages me on MSN while I am racing (WGooden), and I am like YO YO!!!! I can't focus on the road!!! My eyes go blank, and I start seeing all these weird icons and flashing windows.... and when I recover from this state of confusion and anger, I am in a wall with a crashed car .

I think it will start soon, probably Q1 of this year. But who knows

The site is passworded as are most shows like this in their initial stage. That is purely for press-only access.

Shame though that there is no information to be found anywhere else on the net

CSS has to be, by far, the best FPS game for having a quick go whenever you want, get pissed off here and there, start 'pwning!', have a funny nickname, act completely stupid on most maps.... and all with a very high level of adrenaline pumping through your veins when you've got a huge gun fight on your hands (me ).

I've been bored of most AWP enabled servers, and only play on a few local ones over here. Quite frankly, I am a big fan of Assault, and it has always been underrated as being home of tons of camping noobs... however the server I play one (vagueserver) has kickass players on it, and they have good rules, and admins always on having a good time. CSS on any other server is just lame.

DOD Source is fun too, friend and I play it. Best server is one called Blitzkreig Whores... and there are some really good chicks on there that kick some serious butt! That server is the same way, always good times there too.

Lately I have been bored of TF2 already. Custom Maps are all I play, but it's far too repetitive now for my liking. (Not much skill required to kill someone really). So I just whore it up with engineer and build an unstoppable turret
