Quote from Fordman :

I won't bore you all with the details, but explain this to me.
My wife works for Local Government, and has had a pay freeze for the past 4yrs, due to national debt crisis, but yet, the Government are awarding themselves with a 11% pay increase on average
Do what?

Fordie

Well, since they got caught with the expenses scandal thing and must all be very wary of being watched, they feel poor.....and they make the rules. Simple fix then.
Whilst I do know that the actual people awarding the pay increase are independent, I am still unsure what they are independent of.

On the flip side though....
The amount they do get paid is minuscule in comparison to what they could be getting paid elsewhere....

House of commons is the thing that always makes me chuckle...would be far better to call it the House of you scratch my back and...

Totally agree with not buying a brand new car as there are always nearly new cars with low mileage at a fraction of the price.
Also if you are buying from a dealer, be sure to look at the price of a similar model in the private market and get haggling....often the price of their warranty is far more than the price of a warranty you could get from another company, so always look to take things out of their "special deal for you sir".

What's the point of this discussion? It's their server,so they screw it up how they want! There are other servers to chose,even if it's just for slowdriving.

This is some serious "discussionings" going down right here man..do not disturb the flow....:moped:

Ah...good luck then.

The guy who runs Rossa is Tony, his forum will have plenty of useful info and tips/rules/etc... http://www.fast-rc.co.uk/forum/index.php

Edit- I also had a look on the Guiness site...odd as I am sure Tony has been in contact with them many times...so I asked the question- http://www.fast-rc.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1190.0

Thanks Ant

No problem.....but what made you ask the question anyway...an interest or just a passing interest?

Also the "record" is a bit higher (only a bit) than on that link, I seem to remember some bickering about the term "official".......

Quote from ColeusRattus :

On a sidenote, the two new seasonal events have quite a nice payout, and they're pretty doable even for slowpokes like me.

Also, I really like that you see the driving line of the best friend in your list, that helps tremendously. So if anyone wants to add me, I'm ColeusRattus (d'uh) on PSN.

Might not be able to accept the request until tomorrow evening though.

Also with the daily log-in bonus thing you could double the credits for those events (and any event come to that)....I quite enjoyed the lap with the Hudson, my kind of pace.
I will add you (no one on my friend list has GT6), would be nice to have a ghost to chase.....but I am only playing with the joypad so do not be to hard on me eh?

Quote from OpE :

You sure its not the motors?
Its not like my wheel is not working. its just weaker
And when it gets heavy with the ffb it smells a bit.

I think in your case it is the motors at fault....the slots in the commutator are clogged up and/or the bushings need cleaning....if you keep using it like that it will blow the mosfets and then the shifter lights will display an error.
You can clean the motors by taking them apart (getting the back off is the worst part) or you could try blasting a spray into the openings directly at the commutator/brushes and around the bushings.

I too had a bit of smoke out of my G25 along time ago and in the end the mosfets blew, I took the motors apart and cleaned them, fixed the circuit board and all was new again. The next time I smelt that smell and felt a resistance change (in the wheel), I knew to clean out those motors again....and then again.......but now I am at the stage where the commutators and brushes are too worn...and the pinions are worn to the point the gears no longer mesh properly. Oh for some new motors and pinions it would live again but it served me well and was used for nearing half a million miles.

any 540 hobby motor will do they are 10 a penny on ebay

tamiya & kyosho 1/10 electric cars have them as stock

Are you sure about that?
Is the shaft the same size...will it handle the voltage...can you mount the sensor on the back of it...etc.

Quote from -NightFly- :

Just did a few hours of gta V, somehow it didn't felt as good as I expected at all...
after that I switched to gta IV, omg how much more fun it was, V felt like shit after driving in IV.
They absolutely trashed one of the main fun parts in gta: driving.

A step back from Rockstar, I am dissapoint!

I had the same opinion after a few hours...after many more hours it is quite fun....

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :

Still way to poor to have one online, bikes seem to be the way to go

Pick a track you like (that is not too easy) and learn it with car/bike/whatever, then host some races with custom off and catch up off...easy money.

Quote from jibber :

I get those little kids in almost every race. They try to crash you and make you spin out, etc. The fun lies in outdriving them and still win the race. I imagine them raging in front of their TV and have to smile all the time.

The fun lies in when it is 99 laps at the airport figure of 8...the crashers lasted around 30 minutes then got bored....race total time was 1 hour and 26 mins....3 racers until lap 96 (!) and 2 finished.

Quote from S.E.T.H :

no, it is correct

most of the WR holders are wheel drivers. not just that, mouse drivers have 2 throttle options: on and off, have 2 braking options: brake on, or no brake at all! whereas wheel users can adjust them in slow corners, going much faster and smoother. tyre usage is also huge advantage because with mouse no matter how smooth you try to drive, your soft tyres will be finished in couple of laps. even in an hotlap if your set is adjusted for hotlaps you will lose your tyres before you finish the lap.

Did you know that you could use a mouse to steer and pedals for throttle/brake and a button for clutch and it will tell you "W"...wheel...?
Did you know that there are many way to make it look like you are using a wheel?
Did you try changing your button rate at all (for throttle/brake (presuming you are using mouse))?

If you have only driven the mileage/cars/tracks that I can see from looking at your LFS data....then I would say you have a lot to learn young padawan....it is a great game...have fun.

Quote from MadCatX :

If someone enjoys playing LFS in force view mode - who are you to tell them they can't? You could use the same argument against people who drive with mouse for instance.....

I guess he steers with a mouse as he wants to see the steering wheel.

Quote from S.E.T.H :

......the best view is the cockpit view where you can see the wheel and front tires. with force mode you see the driver, wheel, and tyres. best view you could possibly get, yet its not a view.

Which makes a mockery of....

Quote from S.E.T.H :

....and unlike other types, its making all of the other cars look the same. so even this takes it to another level because its killing the realism.

I say ban the mouse before killing off alternative veiws.

Quote from mrodgers :

I'm an idiot when it comes to consoles. I'm on xBox, an old 4 GB unit. How do I know if I have any updates for GTA? I don't see anywhere where I can start Online play. I'm assuming that the update was the online play and contained other SP stuff from what I've read. I don't care about online, I don't have xBox Live and don't play online, but I thought there was updates to single player. How do I know? My xBox went through a lot of updates before I could even install GTA.

Updates are usually (as with GTA) automatic.
You will need more space than 4GB because you have to install GTA...think it was 6.7GB
The online option can be choosen via the pause menu or the character select thingo.

Quote from Bandit77 :

... no. Simply no.

Yes, LFS might have some realistic aspects but some stuff is just soooo off it really completely ruins it for me.

Anyway, I'm not going into details. I actually just want to ask what games you know of that are fun to drive with a controller like the G25.

I had much fun with a G25 and LFS...without a doubt the best simulation (that I tried,) of a car when I am sat on the sofa....

Well clearly you don't understand what I wrote

Incorrect. I understand what you wrote.

Quote from BlueFlame :

so why are you bothering to reply?

That I do not know.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I believe there's also some way to show up M when you're not using mouse for steering. Can't remember what it is though.

I think if there's any accusation of h4x it should be based on the quantity of the wr beating lap uploads at any one time. Speaking personally, if I set a WR I would upload it immediately, I wouldn't sit on it for days and then upload them in a big cluster like MARUS has.

I mean the 24th Feb 2013 is just one massive cluster of uploads. I just can't imagine anyone would sit on that amount of uploads...

I'm not accusing anyone, I'm just say to ME, that is what's fishy.

Please only bother to reply if you have the slightest understanding of what you are talking about.
