Congrats Astra. Seems you got the job, which is nice

i did that on purpose. designer. look i can spell

lol, yea OK. Anyhow, why give them clues as to where they went wrong ? You may as well write them a spammers manual to go with the hints

Sounds like a corrupted driver file. Try uninstalling and re-installing the drivers.

Professional? You call that professional, being able to read a script perched on top of a desk? I would have hoped it was more about having a good knowledge of your subject matter in the area you worked wheras she as much as admitted she knows nothing about sim racing.

It's just a marketing ploy. If she weren't female and attractive I'd suggest she wouldn't be there, which is sexist is it not?

Agh, what am I complaining for, she's better looking than that other pair

Quote from horrgakx :

I also have been turned into a gibbering n00b with this set, I just can't coordinate everything because I've moved up from a simpler two-pedal layout with shifter on the wheel. I can't get my head round using everything at once!! Sounds funny, especially if you bear in mind that I've had a driving licence for 20 years and I hold a racing licence too.

This is exactly how I felt in the first couple of days (I've only had the wheel about a week now I suppose) It's strange that although I can drive my real car normally each day in the same configuration, as soon as I'm in "Sim" mode, I become a learner driver. I was also stomping on the clutch trying to brake as well. Another throw-back from the 2 pedal wheels I've used.

I agree with much that's been said already and although I love the wheel, I'm not overly friendly with the shifter in H gate configuration. If that gear shifter were in a car I was buying, well I wouldn't buy it for fear the gearbox was knackered Maybe some sort of stiffer spring would fix it a bit. Anybody come up with anything ? Hmm, I must do a search on this.

Congratulations James, well deserved young man. Got yourself a good team there. Maybe now we can have a driver from UKCT who can complete a whole season in the Baby-R league

The avatars are at least bug free though

Hehe, maybe next time No, that's not right, there won't be a next time, right guys ?

BTW, will some team make Butz an offer? He's feeling a bit left out. You must have him back by midnight though, coz he's ours

Yeah, once your duties with Santa Claus have been peformed for another Year Moose

Looks like we're gonna have to build some bigger cars

Sorry for the late reply, I must stay in more

I just want to thank you lot for the very warm welcome I have received and just to say I'm feeling right at home already. I've always shunned the team thing before but I know I've made the right choice with ZWR. Anyhow, once these guys go after you, you don't stand a chance of getting away

Yes, I've been ZWR'd

So what would a wing do for the FXO ? It's got too much grip at the rear end anyhow and with the new patch coming up the extra weight would probably further nobble it from 25mph to down to 20 top speed. I was thinking of getting my mum one of these new FXOs as a runaround for shopping in town but she would probably prefer a Sinclair C5 as it's faster

Irish. Up North type but the fastest Irishman on LFS I'll get my coat. Stop throwing stuff at me

Cheap tyres are the fastest because they are usually much thinner and made of plastic which causes a lot less road resistance.

Geez, I thought you guys new all this

You have obviously learned the error of your ways. Go in peace and sin no more

no no no no no - gadzooks, noooooo ! :thumbsdow

In my day, tuning mean't sharpening up the car to make it go faster eg. Maybe putting some better carbs on and fiddling about with timing to help "tune" the engine. It seems it means quite the reverse these days. Oh well

I got kicked from that server recently (not sure if I'm banned) for lag.

Fair enough, I hadn't checked the ping first and just dived in. Drove for about half a lap without seeing anybody when the admin began a torrent of abuse using as much bad language as his pathetic vocabulary would allow him. Was then booted

If he'd simply stated I was lagging I would have left anyhow as I certainly don't want to race on a laggy server but the way he dealt with it was certainly less than professional so I don't know where the server name came from.

I later checked my ping to that server and sure enough it was high (375) so I shouldn't have been there but given the attitude of the admin I never want to be there again. Lifetime ban please

Good ol' BNP , you gotta love 'em.

I'll tell ya in 13 minutes, nope 12, no hangon ...

All sorted
