I don't like the player hacker, mostly because the naked "head" model looks utterly gash. Reminds me of my Quake 3 days, when everyone wound the details down to minimum to make everything super-clear and gaudy.

Be nice if it was a clientside choice to force lids. Be nicer if it wasn't needed.

Tempted to have a go at clutchless shifting in my MX now... I drag it out of gear without using the clutch when the car is off load... but never had the guts to bang it into gear without the clutch. Guess I need to grow some balls.

A track I know, but haven't attempted much with the RAC... Perhaps i'll get better than last this time

Shouldn't be a drama getting to the track this time either

Not sure if i'll be able to make this one either! My girlfriend is staying over, and i'm not sure she'll put up with me gawping at a screen for 2 hours... I'll ask nicely

Not that it'll really change the points much, but I enjoy racing with you lot

...I'm still trying to get a waterfall one, except every time I go to one it's always to bright outside to get any shots.

Break out an ND filter

I'm a Canon SLR type person, recently upgraded my 300D to a 30D, partly for the increased FPS, and partly for AI servo. Godsend for motorsports shots. I wander up my local track and wave it about on occasion. Good fun

That's awesome nice editing work. The first corner with the whole 32 still impresses me. Proper!

I thought at the moment, LFS treats all gearboxes like a H-Shifter? i.e. that's how they're simulated (gear->neutral->gear)?

Either way, I think i'm faster at shifting with the H-shifter, as it's using the manual clutch (which I can kick faster than the auto-clutch, at least in the road cars). However, braking/downshifting is usually slower, cause you're lacking a 3rd foot.

They look great.

Could you knock up a wooden spoon for the unlucky soul who comes dead laast ?

Oi! That's my place you're mocking mate!

Careful Riders... That's not the way a new team member should be representing the team.

Scary track... I'm well of the pace (which never ceases to scare me...), but i'm still sticking to keeping rubber side down rather than actually being anywhere near the points.

Reckon this one will be good blue flag practice for me!

The UF1 was immediately called the "Ultra Fast 1000" in discussions amongst the team in the good old S1 days, once we first heard of it's imminent arrival.

Points deducted for damage after a race perhaps?

I'll give it a whirl my grip level normally depends on how many other people are racing with me... at the first round of the RSSC I was in a full on deathgrip during the first few corners proper stuff.

Quote from teaz-R :

I'd say let the qualifying sort that out for you

That's me screwed

But seriously, means 2x qualifying sessions?

Quote from danowat :

...Good luck all for tonight

I'll need it

Been away for the weekend, only got back yesterday and too knackered to practice last night! I'll be on doing just that as soon as I get in from work!

I'll be concentrating on keeping it clean and getting to the end rather than getting past people, not that getting past people was going to happen that much anyway

Looking forward to this one! GL all

Quote from Bladerunner :

...Only way around it is to unplug the G25, which I don't want to do because I need it for some other game I play...

Or, Device Mangler -> right click on the wheel device and disable it while you play...

W...what the hell...? Inertia drift ?!

Note, not a fan of initial D, only saw the first bit of "stage one" and this made me chuckle...

Quite. They had some nice average speed (SPECS?) cameras on the motorway where some roadworks are... Great! 3 lanes of traffic staring at their speedos for a whole mile! Safetastic mate!

I'll give it a go, someone's gotta keep the back of the pack warm, and I need the blue flag practice

RAC please!

Control Panel -> Game Controlers -> G25 Properties -> Settings -> Untick "Combined axis"

Then recalibrate the controls in LFS and you should be onto a winner.

I like it! Tune works well with it. One critism is the grip-rolling bit. Cars look a bit odd in LFS when they griproll, and the plain bottom of the car looks a bit "odd".

Other than that... kick bottom!

Got a MOMO here (red one)... got replaced by the G25.

Same, queued, then the host vanished...

Going to be another crazy test server this eve?

Damn the castle combe monkeys for putting your race so sodding late in the day. Wish i'd been lurking for it.

Sounds like there will be more where that came from, so if you're around the combe again, shout!

Congrats Tristan, treat yourself to some proper non-OAP rubber.
