Quote from AlienT. :

Hmm just checking how much iRacing has set me back in the last 5 years. I was a bit shocked. I have listed this cost breakdown below this rambling about taking fanboyism to extremes. I must be up there with the other numpties that like throwing there cash at anything. I must surely be a fan boy extraordinary. 100% content most of which I couldn't name, let alone have ever driven hehe

In perspective though looking at the final iRacing cost >$1400 and although probably got about £6k in the sim cockpit build, put together over a few years I may add
things change and I did my real licence test and decided to do real racing.

My other mad obsession last year went like. Buy a modified WRX and took it to a track day. I confess i didn't like this car too much until I tracked it. Instant opinion change of Subaru after I tracked it, although after 2 laps only I wrecked the standard brakes. So had some rather large discs front and rear fitted along with some 6 pot callipers. New roll bars, new adjustable suspension, new wheels, I kept the tyres as tyres with less grip are more fun Also the Subaru was tune by Andy Forrest.

Then decided not to race the Subaru because I was advised that a 15k rebuild would be necessary to be competitive in that class.

So I bought cheap XR2 and ran it though a team last year. Even at this rock bottom level of motorport I was easy £1000 average a weekend meeting on for me

So in another moment of madness i bought another Car, A Radical SR3 with idea to race this until I found out a budget of around £40k would be need to be anywhere competitive in the British Championships.

Now my WRX is in bits awaiting a roll cage, My SR3 has been a ****ing nightmare and I rolled my XR2 at Knockhill and it is basically a right off, although I should be able to salvage the engine.

Anyway Because of all this I think LFS owes me around £30,000 as it was this sim that started it.....ya bastards.........Surely to **** no-one spends this sort of crap on Call of Duty! This Will be the likey cost of S3 in the year 2678

And I've now fogotten why I started writing this thread, oh yes it was to remind Dustin when he gets back the the cost of iRacing is quite simply relative. And from my experience the best value sanctioned motorsport around.

My dad was proud of me for blasting every dime I had saved on a pile of shite Wife Lorraine has a slightly different view.

I have got 2 vouchers for steam for Total war: Shogun 2 that i am not gonna use. Anybody interested in buying them (valid till 31 december)?

Quote from PMD9409 :

Psssssssssssssst. You know "The Moose"? You know... the guy you are talking to in this thread. Click in his signature "My iRacing". Name look familiar?

Are there people who dont know THE MOOSE. Some say he .... all we know is he IS RADICAL ENOUGH

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fkQOHEkLBk&feature=feedu

netkar pro with F1, And does not seem to be the singapore demo stuff. Did he port the Ferrari Academy one?

I doubt iracing is 'making money' Think they are just on a loan from our good friend mr Henry. There overhead cost counts against them.

They must be wrong its the same version beta B still on the website and the trailer is 2 weeks old?

There is a download via this torrent

http://thepiratebay.org/torren ... iRacing_-_PSRTV_Broadcast

AFAIK it will not appear in the PSR TV archive it not being an official iRacing series.

Wanted a challenge

Actually he has... teamredline has LFS vids on their youtube pages.

For those who don't know him. He is the fastest and most known simracer, wins pretty much everything he races and iRacing placed him in a real car.

Radicalsonline.com sat down with Greger Huttu and asked him about past present and future. His early simracing adventures, his current adventure in a reasonanly priced car and his future 2011 endeavours in the new iRacing world series.

Quote from HighRoad :

You could do the same thing for Linux...how to make lfs run better and faster. Just a suggestion.

Lol no linux expert here, But if you are or know somebody who is. We do except articles ... if they fit our standards. be my guest

You should ask questions in the support thread for the application, but if i remember correctly there are x and y coordinates to define in the config file.

Noted

We at the RadicalsOnline thought it would be a nice idea to list some of the best addons to enhance the LFS experience.
Therefor we wrote a news article about it on our news site.

Let us know if we miss some big addon. There is at least a part II in the works.

Quote from sil3ntwar :

I just purchased an Xbox 360 controller thinking it would help me. But the steering is so twitchy its damn near impossible. Back to keyboard and mouse i think. At least the controller is fantastic for GP-Bikes and SBK X.

Yes mate what did you expect you had better spent on a wheel.

Link to an interview with Stefano KUNOS Casillo.
In case people might miss the main link in the off topic listing. And maybe for future reference since I think this thread might live a bit longer.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Nice However, if I remember correctly, the AIs don't actually learn yet, right?

Yes they do afaik with the *.knw files. I thought they adapted the line on tiretemps etc. At least at some point they did.

A really interesting interview with NetKar Pro developer Stefano "Kunos" Casillo. He talks about what makes him tick. We cover past, present and future.

So this must be the old people reminiscing about how good it was in the old days thread
