Boothy, once again being extremely clear of his point. Care to explain your experience any further?

Quote from boothy :No. It's the fastest UK circuit, and you're trying to convince me that a puncture is caused by a chicane...?

Well, actually yes. We hear Tim Harvey harping on about this every year; if you hit the chicanes too hard in the opening laps, you're more likely to get a puncture [later on]. But it's not a direct cause for a puncture.

Well, they do have Mike Gascoyne so I think we may see them do something special; at least maybe being the top of the new teams.

It's a Proton, with a Ford Engine. That's about it.
LFSW - Usage Sorting

Currently at LFSW, when you first click on the 'Usage' column header in the 'racers and hosts online' window, it sorts it in ascending order. You then have to click again to make it show descending order. Now, it's not a gigatic world-shattering problem, but I find it hard to believe that people's priorities lie in joining the most empty servers possible. I use it several times per day just to check what's going on in LFS, and it would make my life about 1% easier than it is already.

These are just two games; you can't make a statement saying their graphics are getting worse just from those 8 screenshots. For one, GTA4 is gigantic so they had to compromise on graphics in order to fit in all those cars, people and buildings. And in any case, I think GTA4 does, in general, look better than Flat Out 2.

And overall, of course games look better these days. There is no argument!

You have to do team-bonding excercises first. And also you have to write what your hand tells you to write. It's far above us lowly LFS'ers, we need the creme of the British public to do this properly.

Rubbish!

So many things wrong with what he did I can't even begin to explain. Camera trickery is the only answer. [As most people suspected beforehand]

E: Or he really did fix the lottery, which would be absolutely hilarious.

Ignore this post. I didn't see the pic properly.

BUT, have you tried restarting?

Quote from carey :Wasn't that Christian Horner (the team principal)?

Yes, that's him. My memory is shocking sometimes. And it's the team principal, not chief engineer! [Edit, which is what you wrote]

No way anyone can get past those KERS cars at this track. I've forgotten his name, but the chief engineer of Red Bull says there is "Bob Hope or no hope" of passing a KERS car if you don't have KERS on your car at this circuit. If McLaren take a decent grid slot, they will undoubtedly win the race.

To be fair, Bean0 was a significant competitor in the STCC, which was watched by several thousand people. I think that makes him 'worthwhile', as you say. Anyway, it's good to find out more about the familiar faces who don't always get their time in the spotlight.

Quote from tristancliffe :Indeed! Shame the FIA are keeping the artificial double compound rule for next year.

People complain there isn't enough passing on the track, and too much in the pitlane. Then they complain when the passing opportunities in the pitlane are decreased.....

I for one am very happy refuelling is being banned, as it added nothing to the 'show' or the excitement (unless you like seeing cars/mechanics/drivers on fire), and discouraged drivers from having a go on track.

It added a dimension of strategy to F1. And can you really say you'd rather have no passing than passing in in the pitlane due to strategy decisions? I can't say that. Some people might say this rule change could suck any excitement there is left in F1, out. I'm not going that far yet because I won't put-down this idea until I've seen it in action. It's just one of the possibilities.

LOL! Looks like I didn't find the most obvious mistake in the entire magazine

It will probably have the obvious negative effect on race excitement, however.

Fastest guy gets pole, fastest guy gets fastest laps when on identical fuel loads to everyone else, fastest guy wins.

It's not quite that simple because, like amp says, there will be the added skill required to look after the tyres while the fuel is heavy. But they'll have all that figured out by round 2 so I'm not optimistic for any increase in race excitement.

So the red lights came on at the end because everyone had crashed and the race had to be stopped?

That problem is Internet connection related. Your ping might be good, but you may be losing packets anyway. Are you using a wireless connection?

Thing I like most:

This forum isn't at all like the TF2 forum on Steam.

It's unbelievable.

I never post and rarely visit because it is full of the most unpleasant people.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the thread you've posted in. I suggest making a new thread or doing a proper search.
