I'm down under, and haven't played in a looong time. For a few reasons...

One being the age old new content blah blah.

Another being that there are(were?) no good aussie servers to just jump on and race. Yes there were all the Aus league and team servers but these were passworded the majority of the time. And I personally do not want to join a league, rather be able to jump on a server and have a friendly race with familiar faces every now and then.

Any ideas at all? Tried racing again last night and on both CTRA and CD I got dropped after 6-10minutes of racing. It just so happened I was watching the net meter on CD when I dropped and it didn't spike or anything was all plain green/blue the whole time.

This is really getting to me, I can't even finish a damn race.

Hi All,

I have recently been attempting to race on Conedodgers server and the CTRA servers without much luck.

Las night I ran my first 1:44.xx on AS3 so thought I would try get my license on the CD server. Join in all good 5-6 laps through the race, already pitted and running in 4th of 10 with people in front yet to pit. I was pretty pumped and feeling like it was my best race online ever. Then BAM 'connection to host lost' or some such error and sitting in the menus. No warning or anything.

Now, this has happened every time I try to race on CD. sometimes I get through 2-3 laps sometimes 8-9 but have yet to finish a race on there.

Same with CTRA, if I actually manage to stay on long enough to get onto the track something really weird happens on the CTRA servers. I exited the pits in the Single Seater server, it was running KY Ring, and when I got to the same corner everytime it kicked me back to the pits saying I was inactive for too long... BUT I WAS RACING. bah.

Now, I'm pretty sure it's not my connection. I have an 8mb ADSL pipe running into my house and have not had a single issue with it. The connection graph on the bottom left of the screen is always good, just get random disconnects and stuff.

Any ideas?

I've worshipped the original shell from the first movie in person
It's stored up near Cooper Peady at the Opal mines

As for the nuclear waste... meh.

Poker.

Ok, I finished this up and its now posted over here.

My attempt at the LX4 competition and also my first skin...

PREVIEW

SKIN

I've tried using cockpit view and just can't do it

I use front wheels only and have ever since my first drive of LFS... I have real trouble driving from the cockpit in any game now.

Ok, UPDATE.

Found a colour scheme I like. Added some logos and Race number... thoughts now?

Got the base layout down I think. Would like some suggestions as for colours. The ones I have now are just temporary.

If your just painting plastic you may want to look into some "Vinyl Dye"

In my past experiences you end up with a much better finish on plastic and it lasts a lot longer. No peeling or anything either as it actually bonds with the plastic

What? :P

Just kidding around champ.

Woot.

Buy S2 now, there is no telling when S3 will be, a long way yet I reckon. Patch Y is still a long way off.

If you buy S2 then your friends will have to as well if you want to use all the unlocked content.

So far the pricing has been £12 for each increment, ie: S1 = £12, S2 = £12.
To buy S2 now you're looking at £24.
One would assume the pricing would stay the same for S3 but who knows.

and yes, Demo Racers do not get an avatar on the forums.

Wahey, psycho colours and a Bob Marley look-a-like? a smokers dream avatar...

6/10 cos, not everybody smokes

Haha geez that youtube video bought back some memories.

It's sad that I remember the tracks from CMR2. I had just got my first wheel, some ThrustMaster cruddy thing and remember playing that and NFS:Porsche Challenge. Still the best NFS

I'm guessing Eve :P I'm going on 25Mill skill points in that Social Life destroying game. Which alliance?

I love it! Thanks Devs

Try some AKG's,trust me, you won't be disappointed. May be slightly out of your price range though.

Pedantic? Yeah probably :P But who cares, this is the interwebs after all.

Very nice, looks a bit weird because I think the white reflection plane might not quite be big enough?

It sort of cuts out abruptly at the furthest car.

Looks awesome overall though.

Hey, that's Microsoft's official reply

Yeah, the AI currently don't know how to use thepits at all. I like racing against them ocasionally but can't wait till they are a bit more of a challenge
