I'm actually quite curious to know what they're going to reveal.

I'd like to see how people treat this day. Nothing hell-like to expect here, unless you count a seasonal snowstorm as an icy hell.

Gotta love the hype.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Well, even if the tech demo will be out this year, it's almost 100% that it comes with the Fiat 500 and Monza.

That content should be enough for most people anyway. I also haven't seen any signs of a tech demo release date though.

Looks good, but I think a more weathered look could do.
The buildings and such look like they were just built/installed, or with a crazy enhancement filter in photo processing.
Also, the asphalt looks a bit too "chunky" imo. reminds me of the moon's surface. I haven't seen it that coarse (large chunks) on a regular road.

I'll see if I can get some reference shots of the asphalt in my area.


This image of a parking space should do for now.

Want racing and guns? Here the answer!

I personally own a 10" ASUS Transformer TF300 with a Keyboard dock (seriously wished it ran something more laptop-ish, when using it with the dock) It strikes a good balance between a fun device, and price, If price really isn't a concern, you could as well go with the Transformer TF700 Infinity. but then, if you're looking into getting a 7", most certainly a Nexus 7. It's the same device on the inside as mine, practically.

I just tried the demo out, and it's pretty good, much better than their older games (18WoS, anyone?).

If you have a webcam and sufficient lighting, you can use this program to control the dashboard camera with your head. I have it set up as a "Fake TrackIR". And it requires some tweaking to work the way you want it to.

For reference, My FFB settings are as follows, this one gives a good overall feel (in my opinion):
Overall: 100%
Spring: 41%
Damper: 41%

Part of LFS's upcoming tire physics patch will fix this (announced in 2009).

Last time I checked, there were no properly working tools to increase smoke, without tripping the Anticheat.

looking at those parts makes me want to fix my old Wireless mouse.

As soon as I replace the USB PCB on my HTC Legend, I'll root it. I have the same issue. (the kit to repair costs $10, including all tools and shipment.)

Now, I'd buy it right off the bat if I didn't have to get Borderlands 2 in the fall + a new CPU.

Looks interesting, I've been a bit a follower of Brazilian stock car, mainly because I have family there, and my grandfather was a big car nut.

I've had some heavy G-force dreams, especially since my experience in an Audi R8 5.2 FSI in Florida not too long ago.

I'd recommend the Sharp Aquos Quattron, mine's a 42". works nicely, makes my Xbox games and cable footage look nice, it has optical audio output, 4 HDMI's a VGA, and a few other traditional connectors. the TV lags a little due to the extra processing for the "Fourth subpixel", yellow, but this feature can be disabled. a big improvement over the previous Westinghouse I had before.

but yes, it's all on personal preference.

seems like the host to me.

I do believe that LFS only uses 1 core of a CPU, and all the rendering and calculations lowers FPS drastically, when in a full grid.

I use my G25's pedals to cool my feet off on a hot day when I'm not using them, and using them to practice my clutch+throttle timing for real life, doing this for 4 years, no issues as far as I know.

Barefoot + stainless steel pedals = cold

risky way to put it that way, Phuba, that's why vouchers exist.

The CPU is a bit out of date imo for MW2 and MW3, and GTA IV. Dual-cores are getting into the lower end of the spectrum these days. LFS will run just fine though.

Here's a PassMark evaluation.

keep in mind, you could use a bit more RAM. 4 GB is the minimum for 64 bit to run well. If you want support for more than 3 GB, then run 64-bit, but it might use a bit more memory as a result. Do you know what type of memory the motherboard supports? (DDR, DDR2, DDR3)

Lots of Ferrari 458 Italias and Porsches (not pictured), a DeLorean DMC-12, a BMW Alpina B7, and F1 cars, saw all earlier this month, at the Montreal GP qualifications.

If I knew about this thread earlier, I would've posted..

here's a small list of what runs on my ASUS T91MT (with an Atom Single core), other than LFS.

Grand Prix II (or any DOS games for that matter, and I got my g25 to work with it, thanks to DOSBox)
Bananoid (another DOS game)
Re-Volt
Half-Life
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Half-Life: Opposing Force
Midtown Madness 1 and 2.

Anything that is emulated that runs on a modern smartphone should run on a netbook.

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

To be fair, in real life you do have bumps and holes in the grass, as opposed to LFS where it's just a plane.

true that, I've seen races that cars jumped off the grass parts.

All racing simulators I've seen and tried, make your car spin out the second it hits the grass. the BF1 has slicks, so it worsens its issue, it has no grip on grass. Even NASCAR simulators (NASCAR 2003 Season as a matter of fact) simulate this.

Try going fast on tarmac, hitting a tire on the grass in a real car, then come back and tell me your results.

It depends, really. To be honest, the Momo is a downgrade from a DFGT, the wheel is tiny, and feels like a toy in a way, but its fairly robust. I still have mine, but my FFB motor shorted out somehow, and it's in my garage in my G25's box. The G25 and G27 on the other hand, have the full set; a shifter, and clutch pedal, along with the wheel.

ever since I bought my G25, I have never regretted it since, the wheel is larger, and it feels more rigid and more realistic, since it's not entirely made by plastic.

Logitech G510. Refurbished, got it $30 cheaper than brand new, now I I gotta do now, is get used to the keys. (had an old Logitech wireless iTouch before this)
