Wooo some oldies!

The patch email brought me here and I treated myself to a VR setup for Christmas (still using my ancient G25 though ) so I might be back

Saw this on FB just now and thought it'd be of interest:

ARE YOU READY FOR THE
ULTIMATE RACING CHALLENGE?
It doesn't matter whether you win by a pixel or a frame, winning is winning!

Welcome to the Overclockers UK Racing Championship. We've partnered with Intel, Microsoft, and XFX to bring you the chance for motorsport lovers, petrolheads and gamers to go head-to-head and battle it out to win the gold medal and take the no.1 spot on the podium.

The Championship blends the virtual with reality, with contenders laying down timed laps on Project CARS at the OcUK VR Room – with our VR racing rig powered by HTC Vive, Next Level Racing, and Thrustmaster.

Those top times will be then take part in our quarterly qualifiers at the prestigious Bedford Autodrome – sitting behind the wheel of various vehicles from Palmer Sports, including the Palmer Jaguar JP-LM and Formula 3000.

I've done this a few times, it's pretty good fun. I was amazed at the sheer number of these things there are about.

I haven't watched anything that genuinely nail-biting in a long, long time... :o

I remember someone posted in here (or possibly in the video thread) of a bunch of 'sick stanced y0' cars trying to turn out of a junction.

Most of them needed to reverse back and forth a couple of times just to make a 90 degree turn, and pretty much every single one made some lovely scraping noises as they came off the side road.

You guys playing this on PC?
I play on console...

Are you guys playing this with your hands? I use my feet, and have someone describe to me what's happening on the screen.

My stats have really dropped off since I started playing again.

I attribute it to not knowing the maps any more, and grinding through the new lines with awful crews.

I really hope Ed gets enough funds for his project.

Anyone still play this? I had a break of a few months, but I'm back playing a few battles a night regularly again.

Maybe they went on a voyage for 2 years at near-light speed?



Glad the family is well. My little lad is now 6, I still remember posting my 'holy crap, I'm going to be a dad' thread on here.

Half Life 3 confirmed

It took me a while.

Quote from Racer X NZ :

the above sounded like an auctioneer....

That was kind of the entire point.

I know it's not the game but this was too good not to post:

Also think about how you exit the corners. If the guy next to you gets a better line through the corner and exits 5mph faster than you, he'll carry that extra speed all the way down the next straight.

That is awful news. They've gone from a man who pretends to be unlikable to a man who actually is genuinely unlikable.

My garden. I did probably 95% of all this

Nice! And congrats on a pretty towering achievement

Is the LFS video you posted using TrackIR?

Any plans to add a 3D wake to the water surface, so you can drive (sail? pilot?) through/over it?

I raise you...
