Have you tried contacting the RS Labs website yet? Maybe they can send you a replacement?

Quote from hyntty :

Based on first hand experience I doubt facebook tracks my surfing. If it does it doesn't work very well.

Oh but it does, rest assured Whether you think it works well or not is irrelevant

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying FB is teh evil for tracking (or trying to do so) people's internet behaviour. Plenty of websites do that, and if you're somewhat pc-savvy you can easily prevent such things. I'm just saying, don't crucify Google for doing the same thing. At least Google is very transparent about the whole subject, or a lot more transparent than Facebook ever was anyway.

Quote from Matrixi :

Ghostery for firefox can easily block any facebook trackings anyway.

A simple regular deletion of cookies will do the job as well so yeah, it's not really complicated. Unless you're the average Joe who doesn't know the first thing about computers, let alone what a "cookie" is. And they make out the majority of internet users

Quote from Matrixi :

G+ still feels quite empty at the moment.

Yep. Haven't been able to convince anyone to join yet. Here's an interesting article explaining why the majority of FB users will probably never make the switch. They're the average Joe I just mentioned, and they're happy with FB and so see no need to try new things

Quote from flymike91 :

They keep a record of everything you do on the internet (...)

Yep, just like Facebook does. Doesn't matter if you have a FB account or not, the moment you go anywhere near FB or any of the sites that have a "FB Like" button on them, they track every move you make on the internet, so that when you eventually do sign up, they'll already have tons of info to connect to your profile and adjust the ads you see to your interests.

If I have to choose a company that keeps track of my comings and goings on the internet, I'll go with Google I'm not touching FB with a 10ft pole.

I would care for my friend, not for some views in Youtube. What a tard he was.

The guy filming wasn't the owner of the dog.

Did you at least get a response from iRacing? An explanation why they didn't think the driver in question should not be penalised?

Quote from mcintyrej :

I wouldn't have thought the word "Maniac" would at all be a suprise to the reviewing admins watching the replay.

I'd get a run going 15-20mph faster than this guy out of a turn and he'd swerve me across the whole track onto the grass and then swerve back over onto the line for the corner - when I finally did pass him it was coming out of the last turn after he out braked himself - he even drove sideways into my car to try and ram me into the wall.

I hope this isn't going to be a new trend. Up until now most of the racing in iRacing has always been fairly clean - more so than most pickup racing in other sims - which probably has a lot to do with the nature of their pricing model and rating system, keeping the "kids" and less serious simracers out. However, with all their promotions of late one might wonder if there maybe is an influx of those kind of racers giving iRacing a try and bringing their bad behaviour with them. Just looking at this thread for the past couple of weeks it's very apparent that a good number of people who've held off on trying iRacing have now finally took the plunge with the Father's Day promotion. While this is no doubt a good thing to see I hope it doesn't degrade the overall racing standard in iRacing.

The vid posted a couple posts back of the "GPC Incidents" is downright appalling and such driving standards really have no place in a sim like iRacing, I find. And the guy you described seems to be just as bad, if not worse.

Quote from Imadethistodownloadlfs :

I've been trying to setup my G25 for 2 days, and still haven't done so. Just seems like a good thing to do.

What do you mean? In this post you say that you finally got it working?

Honestly, it really isn't that difficult. I don't want to offend you or anything but if you're really having that much trouble with setting up a steering wheel you either have very limited - if any - experience with setting up game controls for any game, or well... you're just a bit thick

I agree that it would be nice if LFS could somehow change the rotation settings in the profiler depending on which car you choose. So eg. 720° for the roadcars, 540° for the GTR's etc... That way you don't have to change it in the profiler every time if you want to have the soft stops.

Yes I know you don't have to change it blah blah blah, but you do if you want to have the soft stops. I also know it's been suggested plenty of times before, just sayin' it would be nice.

He can't follow you onto S1/S2 servers like bunder said, so... Use teh powah of teh S2 license to get rid of that git

So I downloaded AIMP2 and I'm quite liking it, but I just can't seem to get it to sound as good as my Winamp I've been fiddling around with the equalizer for a while now and no matter what I do it just doesn't sound as "warm" as my Winamp, if that makes any sense AIMP2 makes the songs sound a lot more bland and I can't find how to fix it.

EDIT: okay, finally got it to sound more or less "right". Defintely liking some of the features I have a feeling I may be permanently uninstalling Winamp in the near future. Never thought it'd happen

Try AIMP2, it's free and just as good as WinAmp, which imo has gotten way too bloated with crap.

That doesn't look too bad. But does it have a proper media library like Winamp? 'Cause that's something I can't do without anymore. It doesn't say so in the feature list so I'm guessing it doesn't have one?

EDIT: d'oh, my bad, didn't scroll down enough

I've been becoming increasingly annoyed with Winamp in the past few weeks / months myself, but for reasons not even remotely related to the OP's problem. But I can't bring myself to switch to another music player, I've just become too accustomed to Winamp; it's been my music player since day 1

And it did nothing to reduce emissions, all the cars taken off the road would produce less than the amount taken to manufacture and run all these new 'cleaner' cars.

Not to mention the cost and emissions that will result from all the scrappage cars being destroyed.

Quote from senn :

THat pisses me off, how about giving them to families who need a car but can't afford to buy one?

+1

It's such an insane waste of mostly good cars, the mind boggles...

Surely they can spare just one for me?

Quote from Miodo :

(...) my question is: why don't you recruit some programmers and physic engineers (...)

That's been suggested time and time again, and Scawen has stated time and time again that that is simply not going to happen

Quote from Miodo :

ps: sorry about my english, i hope all of you can read this message as is, with a lot of excitement and expecting big good things for Scavier, and of course, Live For Speed!

Your english is better than that of most native english speakers on this forum

That's actually a pretty neat idea. I'll try to remember to check out the server next time I fire up LFS.

Quote from SparkyDave :

If anyone is thinking of buying rfactor to try the much talked about "historicX" mod supposed to have nice FF and realistic cars/handling, as I did, its worth mentioning that you need to buy 2 games in order to load and play this mod (Rfactor & GTX)

Well, I suppose that's true if you want to do it the legal way

It's GTL(egends) you need to have, btw, don't know what GTX is?

Anyway, there are versions of the HistorX mod floating around that don't require you to have a GTL disc. Personally I think the check for the GTL disc in the HistorX mod is kinda dumb. I mean, it's nice of the HistorX team to want to "pay hommage" or just acknowledge Simbin's work and all but still... Fortunately I have a copy of GTL but there's a lot of people who don't (anymore) and to force them to buy it now, however cheap it may be, just to play an rFactor mod, I don't know, just doesn't sit right with me I would understand if you actually needed stuff that's on the GTL disc, but you don't; it doesn't install anything. You just have to prove you have it in order to install the HistorX mod

Quote from gizzy890 :

buy rfactor much more fun

Hmm, I'm not sure. While the actual driving and racing is definitely a lot more thrilling in the right mods, it's nearly impossible to find public pickup racing in rFactor I find.

I don't know about Driver 2 or 3, but in the first game you couldn't run over pedestrians either. Which is good, it's not Carmageddon after all And I don't need to get out of the car either

I don't get it. You could race online with your S1 license, could you not? Then why wouldn't you be able to race with your S2 license? It's not like it puts a greater strain on your connection or anything

Being from the US you really just have to find a good server. Seeing as most servers are based in Europe the connection for US players isn't always very good on some of them.

How the quality of your DSL connection relates to the patch or the devs having lost interest, I don't know, but you don't want to go there, trust me.
