What is the price you want to pay?

Get a 8800 GTS, more bang (and memory) for the buck. They run about $300-400 USD, easily. I got mine on Newegg.com. The money invested in a decent card now will pay off for future games. That is of course if you have an 'ok' system to begin with.

BF2 PR Mod FTW!!! Already know a few LFS'ers that play it, good fun.

I forgot about ET, I'll see if I can give it a try, but I get annoyed by the Quake style gameplay in those kinds of games.

I played the mod, was fun. But so jacked up lol.....

Been watching a few movies recently, and noticed that Don Cheadle has a striking resemblance to Hamilton's father.... lol!

Yes Hamiltonmania is rubbing off on me

I smell a tv/movie documentary in store..........

I went back and tried NFS Porsche Unleashed, and as far as I can remember, that was the best version of NFS EA ever released... realism wise. But I stopped playing it ever since I found LFS and GPL. But playing NFS:PU again... it wasn't 'that' great handling wise, I mean a boxster could take turns insanely fast, it did still feel kinda arcadey. But it did have oversteer and it was possible to lose control if you pushed it. But it was always still too easy and grippy. I am sure the new NFS will feel the same way... but EA is always developing their games to cater to a much larger market of younger gamers, thus they make their games easier and user-friendly so nobody gets frustrated and gives the game a bad word.

It's been a long while since NFS has ever felt "good"... but recently EA have already made several attempts at making a "SIMULATION" out of their games, and they've failed miserably.

I too noticed the difficulty to see the walls of the chicane in sunset lighting. Should just be overcast and daylight used in SO1. Or just get someone to make a texture pack that paints the corners of those walls bright red lol

You guys aren't #low racing anymore?

Again, this isn't an official race, so do not worry about MoE skins, racenumbers, etc. Results of the testrace are purely to see the balancing with the two classes... so reference with normal team information/skins is not needed. We will just need to know who is driving what class via something in their nickname, to help us as we watch.

EDIT: Blah posted at same time.

If there is spaces left I would like to enter also.

GT2 FXR
[DR] Greboth.

Edit: If we are taking part in this race do we need the MoE skins or does it not matter for the test race?

Skins should not matter. This is only a test race. Though we should probably have people try to use a nickname according to what class of car they are in, just so it makes it easier while under observation.

Example:

GT1 F.Lastname
GT2 F.Lastname

Skins don't really matter at this point (your choice). For actual races in the season, they will.

Can get National B in a few days, I did.

The real accomplishments are with National A Though, they play too much, so there is no way in hell I am going to drain my life as much as they have :o

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I actually liked it, the people who got banned from abusing it, made the forums much smarter and easier to deal with.

I highly doubt that. These forums are never going to be smart and clean until mods take out the heavy whips on those who obviously junk this place up. But I think everything is quite laid back here, so I don't see that happening anytime soon. Should have a bit more action taken to prevent such users of making the forum their 'life'... it has always been out of hand to be honest. I rarely want to post or visit here anymore, compared to how often I used to.

EDIT: Exactly AndroidXP

Please reset the stats. I had a real lack of interest after seeing that the original CTRA points were kept intact... and there was no way I could catch them. Not that the points really matter... but I think it would for others.

Was fun to try and keep in the Top 10 in the Single Seaters with my limited time of playing, but seeing the overall license points comparison... I just gave up. I know this isn't regarding license level, but oh well. Reset --something--.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Guess what, it was near the bottom of the list, I voted for both versions of it. You understand my complaint about the order the skins were in, not seeing that one in the top 10 of either car amazed me.

Yeah, and there are some top 10 skins that amaze me in ways I can only say... wtf????

There are many non-top-10 winners who's skins definitely deserve to be in LFS. What a shame.

What the hell!!!?!?!?!? Where did that one come from.... I never saw that one to vote for EVER. Never saw any of Linsen's skin... dammit!! I surely wouldve voted for that

I wouldn't worry about the LX4/LX6 duplicates, the devs will surely pick only ONE of those for whatever car it fits best.

But still as I said, I hope the devs do this, because there are so many similar color schemes, it just dissapoints me to see a whole lot nicer skins that didn't make the cut into their respective Top 10. Those of which would really give a good variety of skins for the LX, and better choices for the devs.

WOW I am really surprised to see the skins I liked in there, but also surprised some skins that I know a lot of people liked did not make it in the Top 10 for each. I mean.... a lot of them are just way too similar with colors... wish there was more of a variety Well choose the best and make it a variety then

Too bad "Dragon Exhaust" car has KATT Pipe

In most cases, you will never find the font you are looking for, trust me. A unique logo such as this will almost always have a handmade typeface by the designer, or one that is bought for a high price from some good font foundries. If you can find whatever this is, good hunting

Seems like a pretty easy set of characters to make yourself imo, or to find something similar.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

maybe use ad-blocker to block the Thanks button because it's annoying and stupid.

Never thought of that one, thanks for mentioning .

I'll stick to my +1 replies still at the moment. Because I'd much rather leave a comment along with my +1...... at least the person will know what I agree/approve of whatever is posted.

It isn't necessarily a "thank you" situation either with these posts... but more or less about agreement or disagreement on a subject. How will you know how many people DISAGREE on a particular subject when all you see is a fulfillment of thank yous?. Kind of biased with shortcomings if you ask me.

The list gets to be pretty big I agree.

I'd rather see something of this nature with a collapse button beside the thanks button. By default it should all stay collapsed, and then the user can click the button to see the users that thanked the post.

Can it be moved to the LEFT side next to quote? Being on the right next to the most-used buttons (quick reply and other common quote buttons), it just is annoying.

BTW, there is a better thumb you can replace in the vB Button Graphics pack... one you have now looks kinda crude. Or well, use the one FEL posted: . Or a +1

I just mention the placement because as you scroll down and want to quote a post or quickly press quick-reply, it is RIGHT next to where your mouse pointer is near the scroll button typically.

That thanks button sure is a stupid addon..... What's the point?

Terrible button too.

Someone actually made a skin already for GTR2. I happened to come across it when searching the net...

Norbi is doing quite well for his first PSC even in my opinion. And rough 1-2 secs slower isn't so bad.

Looking good with those who want to participate .

Any teams that are hoping to have a GT1 position next season, be sure and try the GT1 car to get a feel for GT2 traffic. Last season's competitors can practice in GT1, but if you want to show your fast pace in a GT2 car, please do .

See you there.

Been watching Norbi's onboard footage of when he was in the other Seat cup cars before this. He pwnt them all he told me .

Good Luck Norbi! And sweet ride in that nice looking team car

Yeah had this happen to me one time. Except my car ended up halfway into the ground and was stuck there. Just another bug that we don't see fixed from Eric
