included is my replay

Thanks all

http://files.filefront.com//;7972621;;/

was alot of fun racing last night and thanks for all the help and set ups from everyone who raced

if any are making it states side id def be interested in throwin it on my car for a lil bit of publicity

i have a Syntax Olevia cost me about 1000USD with the extra warranty (all expensive electronics i get it just incase) anyways it has parts from a Panasonic LCD such as the screen and some stuff on the mobo ... i havnt had a problem yet with it and its been over a year ... i dont know about that brand however ...

i was thinking since im building a new room sorta of an apartment of getting 2 smaller like 17 or 19" lcd screens and running it 3 screen ... but im goin away so there goes that money

right a 1280 x 720 is a 720P is a HD resolution ... there is a new tv out that has 1080P but thats some BIG BUCKS

i have a 27" LCD HDTV ... resolution is 1280 x 720 and everything runs fine on my computer ... i also use it for xbox 360 my computer TV and DVD's ... cleared up having a tv and a monitor next to each other and wow what a difference with dvd's is HDTV ... i say get it its awsome ... ALSO you can have picture in picture and watch Formula 1 while on the comp and stuff its awsome

around by me its easy to find something to do ... but i live outside the best city in the world so there is ALOT of people and if you speak english your even better haha

everywhere i go i see now hiring part time and full time ... crap jobs but its money

ive been workin 20+ hours a week since im 14 im now workin 45+ a week ... buy what i want like my new cadi ... goin to montreal for formula 1 and greece for a nice 2 week vaca wit my friend ... where do you live exactlly? go look into say a wendy's or BK or something im sure they could use a good english speaking kid for the register

im lucky enough i play hockey and do quite well so i was able to teach clinics for 10 bucks an hour ref for 15 an hour and private lessons at 50 an hour as i got older

just on a side note my Cadi CTSVR team is doin well again in SCCA and so are the vettes in the le mans series if im not mistaking ... but so are some porches and stuff ...

every area has there good cars and there not so good cars ... if i had the money id be rollin in a ferrari or lambo or aston or a vette(inherited the 1999 Corvette Coupe from a family member) or a viper ... or the new saleen s7 twin turbo which is in the buggati range

the corvette is comfortable but im not in the corvette for comfort ... i sold my camaros for a cadi CTS for the comfort and luxury (plus girls dig it more haha) not to mention the cts was more or less designed in germany haha

i dont wanna drive a mini because its a death trap in my area and we have sum big roads not small roads ... if i was in the UK id prolly want a small nimble car not a fast edge of your seat kinda car

but hey every area has there ups and downs its just how it is lol

wow didnt know it was gonna turn into this haha

anyways where i live ( on long island) not many roads have tight twisty curves ... my cadi cts handles well but its under powerd for sure for me atleast

sure some places of the US are twisty and hilly and all that but most of it is just flat straight roads with a turn for a block once in awile haha

however the new corvette (hell even my 99 vette) handle AMAZINGLY

my friend lives by the water and at end of road is a nice shapped roadfor a high speed turn

drifting a camaro or corvette around it at 50+ is a blast

road in europe are much different then here in america

anyways id love to see real cars ... personally i like driving a car i have owned (one of my camaros or a vette) or a car i wish i could own ... its brings it that much more to simulation because we are trying here to get real life situations ... a real car would be much more realistic to me in a simulation ... fake cars in arcade like Burnout series ... but thats just me ... and on that note this game still is amazing with our without real cars :thumb:

vettes are readily available here in the states ... hell i got one siting in the garage next to my cadi cts haha ... bit just because it sells well and peformes well doesnt mean its a "skip" althou it does kinda stink when i see so many of em ... but hey new zo6 is kickin everyones tails haha

i belive you get to use a new one every month ? but i dont know to be honest

cool cool ... im done racing for the night thou so maybe if i dont go to bar tomorow night someone can see me sucking and not tryin to hit anyone haha

So why waste yours?

got a point with that one


i was just in the CORE server having a blast with the BF1 I EVEN CAME IN 2nd ... steady racing lil over a min on each lap and i didnt spin or push it hard and i made 2 good clean pass ... then everyone got much better somehow and i was in 6th or 7th rest of time haha ... but i was tryin to hold a line and CORE Carl was commin in fast and i braked about 1 second late and cause a bit of a mess ... i said sorry carl and he said np and life went on ... he came outta pits my next lap and was passin me then tearin ass around the track ... hes a much faster racer so i tried to keep up and use different lines fomr what i normall use was fun and i thank Carl for bein a good sport about my mess up

im down for that ... i used to play forza (not pure sim but best on a console) and hate when people bumped me and stuff for no reason and didnt even say sorry

maybe we can get like a VOIP like teamspeak or vent goin for a CRC server

dont mind a new person askin but what is crc

N00bs and new users refer to my DRIVING TIPS thread in the Beginner's Forum for useful advice on how to drive these mega speed machines!

good read

i was having fun doin 15 laps before on a server with like 15 people ... pullin over to the side and stuff but i ran a lil over a min lap for my PB not bad for 2 days of gamin on a real pure sim

Quote from rabidmaddog :

I'll help you solely because you can spell "newbie" correctly.
There's actually a very good LFS S2 manual available which gives a good explanation of how to implement the various setup parameters. There's one page which covers the basics of handling and setups in a nice little table format. I use it to adjust my real formula 1 car...oh wait..I was dreaming that part...

ive read bits and pieces of it and tried to apply them but i also used some knowledge of how i drive and applied it to the BF1 and i seem to be doin much better now that i changed the rear tires to the 80 degree tires so they warm up faster

well im a newbie to this game and ill slow down and pull over to a side when i see a blue flag pop up ... if im in the middle of an S turn slow down and then pass on the straight dont try and run me off the road ... ive raced many of games from arcade to simulation (mostly Forza and Xbox way to many hours in that game)

i have limited knowledge of the different set ups but im learning and i hate playing offline because an AI can always be beat ... humans adapt and learn making it more fun

so if anyone sees me online say Hey want some help if you see me spun out in the sand dont be like ... why did you not let me pass you on that s turn u made me crash ... i havnt been around long enough ( 2 days) but i do notice only a few people will help the newbies out but if you all dont pitch in and help its gonna get worse and less and less people

alot of new sports cars are comming onto the market with an auto matic and an option to use paddles

ferrari has had it for awhile now in there cars ... cousin has it in her Celicat GT S now ... prefere a real stick shift but hey its fun when your not in New York Traffic haha
