I use a joystick as well, and am fairly comfortable with that but it would have been nice if they left the throttle blip option at least. It really wouldn't hurt, and people that don't want it can turn it off... that's what options are for.

But then again, I do wonder just how important that really is. I haven't even noticed that much of a difference without it... If i lock things up then i let off the brakes a bit and it's fine. Assuming that i could blip on downshift, would it even matter? Unless you are extremely consistent and very good at this, how would you even know?

Thank you, that's exactly what i need. If there even is an official link, they sure hid it well. Hopefully next time they'll include an alternate download link on the main page or one of the forum threads at least. Thanks again.

Well, was just wondering if there is any other way to download the patches, besides having to do so in-game. I couldn't find any links around the site or forums, and it keeps timing out since i'm stuck with 56k... so i don't see how i'm going to be able to get this. I'm assuming this time out is not something that can be adjusted on my end, correct?

I have the same problem as well, it seems to happen after loading a few different tracks, and restarting all the time gets annoying. I tried starting another game after that one time and got an out of video memory error, so maybe it has something to do with that, i don't know. That would make sense though, if switching to 16-bit works as that would require less video memory, right? I have a feeling it's LFS, since i've never seen anything like that before.
