Great art critics her, I like. In addition, this was a painting the former General State Attorney of Ukraine, Pshonka, had done of himself. Quite a piece of art

Quote from amp88 :So true. At other times in the past when there have been fuel restrictions the racing has always been shit. That's a given.

it's always been part of endurance racing, and IMO it makes racing more thrilling. More tactical thinking and variation on track, not just in the pits.

My guess would be overaged tires and too much toe in on that tire. I've see the same on a bus carrying children to a kindergarten once

the MX-5 is a great choice, if done right it could be a good competitor to the stock E30.

About mods in general, I don't really know how the AC engine "does car physics" ie. if its similar to RFactor and its tables of data. My guess (from the patch changelogs, which often contain "physical" changes to car suspensions) would be that its different. So if a modder gets the suspension pickup points, the CoG and engine power and torque curves right, the car will behave right.

btw, there are so many great mods in development already (GTs Trail Mountain, Rudskögen Motorpark etc.), if all those get made properly I see a bright future for AC.

A friend of mine said lots of RFactor modders disappointed with RFactor 2 changed over to AC.

btw, Kegetys updated his Joux Plane mod: http://www.kegetys.fi/joux-plane-for-assetto-corsa-update/


edit: the team of this mod DRM (Turbo Capri and more) is apparently looking for a new sim after RFactor

I think that if you're harsh with a car for an hour surely you don't get the Zenvo results.

I agree on the bad weather thing and omitting of those astonishing numbers, but I'm pretty sure other supercars get threated just as harsh and survive. One hour of hard driving? A track-oriented super car like this should be able to do that without parts failing , especially on a wet track

A compound charged LS7 ... haven't seen anyone manage this setup in tuner car, so I'm not that surprised Zenvo has its problems But I'd expect better durability if you dare to send your car to Top Gear And in that weather load on engine and transmission couldn't be that high anyway.

Quote from Mustafur :Volvo Sounds like a 4cyl, honestly don't think it was running at full power though.

well its running a race version of the Yamaha V8, flat-plane crank which makes it more or less a double inline-4. Merc and Nissan probably use the same configuration, but Mercedes probably did more "sound engineering" to give its car a rather unique howl.

On the Olympics, I have to say I'm a little proud seeing the current result tables Waiting for the bob sled rounds, guess we can get a few Golds there aswell. The 500m iceskating was crazy, podium full of dutchmen.

Quote from Rappa Z :From what I've heard all the skiing/snowboarding events are having pretty poor scores because the snow is poor. During the day it's been up to 10 degrees Celsius, so the snow turns to slush and a lot of people fall.

Saw the Women Final, they all smashed into the crest of the last landing ramp, a Korean(?) girl had to be transported away on a vacuum mattress.

Quote from Anthoop :Yes.
There used to be a time when Top Gear was an informative programme on the telly for car nerds....now it is just entertainment for the masses....car nerds still persevere but end up with the same feeling...

Well there are lots of good (and free) other shows and sources, Fifth Gear and /DRIVE to name two.
Pretty sure Top Gear doesn't even try to compete with them. It found its role as entertainment involving cars

The Alfa/quadjetskibikespinecrusher part was cool, liked the Bond music theme they maintained through it.

The British Army segment ... unsure what to think about it. Lots of info on the machinery, bit of comedy, but for military stuff it was too positive. Not once did they voice even a little criticism on the whole operation, but maybe thats just me.

P1 was cool because I expected a pure track test, and certainly not one of foreign terrain.

Three years now, only had to bend the plate that holds the shift-buttons from time to time when 2nd gear started to "jump out". But over the last weeks I ran into some problems, I tended to overshoot under braking, somehow I struggled a lot more than usually. I than noticed that my throttle axis spiked a lot while and after heel-toeing, meaning while I used brake and throttle at the same time. Throttle stayed at ~10% even when fully depressed until I used the brakes again.

I traced it back to a broken cable, the black one that connects both potis. Soldered in a new cable, now I can blame my driving errors on myself again

...damn it I can't find that gif of the cosmonaut guy from Armageddon..

And the Russian delegations walking in to a (remixed) song from Tatu ... am I the only one who finds this a little ironic?

Have any of you guys played on the Celle map? I haven't played DayZ but I'd like to know how they portrait my former hometown Fallingbostel in it

No slowdowns on my side, in general the sim runs an average of 10-15 fps more in a normal cargame grid, and a lot smoother. I'm pretty prone to recognizing stuttering (60hz TVs vs 100hz, 24 fps cinema to 48 etc.), and I see less

Quote from Racer Y :
Engineering as a term in particular. For you to do what you do, did you have to take a state or province certified exam to aquire a license to do what you do?
When a Doctor finishes med school or an attorney finishes law school, it doesn't automatically make them a doctor or lawyer. They have to take a certification exam. If a person wants to put Engineer in their title, shouldn't they as well?

Ehm, I don't know how they do it in Yippyyahow Texas, but here to be allowed to call yourself an Engineer you have to have at least a bachelor degree in engineering There is no state certified test at the end, but the whole course of studies are.



Quote from Racer Y :Sure I "engineer" but I base things on tried and true methods of construction. I don't have to resort to complex formulas (very often) to determine if something is going to be structurally sound. For the most part, I just have to know what can be done utilizing established techniques. As much engineering as I do, I'm not one.

Quote :An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems. Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.[1][2] The word engineer is derived from the Latin roots ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness").[3][4]

Software engineers are absolutely engineers, IMO "real" engineering and software engineering can't be separated in todays world. The little PCL and C++ I learned is laughable compared to real IT tho
