It loads somewhat slower then because it has to figure out whether it's .net or .com or whatever. I don't think there's an equivalent though. Doesn't take that long to type manually. I really like the search keyword btw.
Orion, seen these? - http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-developer-tools/
I don't know how good they are from personal experience but a mate of mine was raving on about them like they're the best thing since sliced bread.

Hope you make a speedy and complete recovery! 
Just a tip, Dan: from my experience, it's best to separate events by at least 2 or 3 weeks. If the season is longish, have a 4 week break in the middle or something. It works out much better.
Jakg, there's a built in content blocker.... just that you have to dig up a config file that will block most banners. Or you can do it manually site by site (which gets a bit annoying).
Scawen said though, that the engine simulation is in need of a makeover before we can get a significant improvement in sounds. Let's hope that that's in the not-too-distant future... so many things need to be updated.

It's far too repetetive. Think GTR1. And repetetive textures are really bad for immersion and hence concentration. E-Kar's textures are way better if you ask me.

Rumor has it that Hamilton caused his own drive problems by hitting the wrong button on the wheel. :doh:

Good man!

Did you take into account the points in Hungary being taken away?
I guess you could save £2 over your entire life doing that.
Colder fuel is more dense - hence providing better performance (AFAIK). Same reason why your car goes faster on a cold day or at lower altitude.
You'll struggle there mate. You'll only get about 300fps.
Dan, if you struggle with immersion in LFS, drive in cockpit view (custom if you need), with real dials, analogue speedo (makes it harder to see so you don't look at it in corners) and the HUD disabled. If you want to check your split times in a race, have a shift+F button on the wheel to hide/show the HUD.
And, hasn't Scawen mentioned somewhere that he would like to add track bumpiness to LFS, at some point?

Just to note: if McLaren had kept their points and points from the last rounds were added up, Ferrari would still have won the constructors' championship.
It would be ridiculous for the F1 championship title to be decided off track. 
Depends on which of their previous decisions the FIA decide to be consistent with.
How's "a country near Portugal" an insult? And, trying to tell Tristan hwo great Alonso is is not going to get you much further than trying to tell him that rFactor is an amazing simulator. He's entitled to his oppinion and he states it in a far from politically correct manner - he can do that because he doesn't really care who he offends in the process. If you're offended, tough.
Well done to Kimi. Really the best thing that could have happened. And Alonso and Hamilton both a point behind. Awesome.
I think the pitstop system needs the following improvements (which covers what sinbad has said and a bit more):
1. Ability to choose between fuel to x% and add x%
2. Ability to plan more than one pitstop - ie, a special strategy screen would be nice, where you can add planned pitstops (as many as you'd like - with a little add button to add another pitstop) and not only set the fuel load but select tyres to be changed, set camber changes (particularly handy for endurance where your team-mate might like a slightly different setup), set wing changes and everything. Basically everything from the F12 screen for as many pitstops ahead as you'd like.
3. A used tyre rack that can store up to 4 sets of tyres per car, to be used at a later stage. You should be able to select one of these tyre sets in your pit strategy.
The complication with this system comes with having team races such as MoE - a good system must be worked out and that's where the complication comes in.
As for having the option to not fix damage, I agree with Tristan - it should only be added once there is a better damage model and it's easier to end your race.

The only problem is your own attitude towards LFS. Most of the other people on this forum don't have a "problem". You've not even paid for the game so just walk away if you don't like how things happen - it's not going to change. As a matter of fact, considering the amount of things that have thrown LFS off course (need for Vista compatability for one), development has been coming along just fine. With any luck, there won't be much more of that to come.
Yes, last year's April patch was awesome - if you've forgotten the difference it made, just find a patch P/Q download from somewhere and see for yourself. Aston looks 95% just fine - with E-Kar's textures, it's a great track. Sure, it's not as exciting as Kyoto GP or Fern Bay or South City or, in the right car, Westhill. But if you expected a whole new track layout, you're in for disappointment again. And sure, AI will take some time but 2 months of physics coding WILL make a difference if it's targetted in the right places. In fact, while last year's April patch covered half the distance to decent tyre physics, most people can't appreciate that because they still have some way to go. If the rest of the distance is covered in this patch, that alone will make it not only awesome, but revolutionary.
Do I wish we had awesome physics, hardcore racing mode with most of the HUD stuff stripped, 64 car netcode, etc. etc. Yes. Am I patient enough to wait for it? Yes, because I have a meaningful life which takes over when I get bored of LFS. Furthermore, Scawen is free to do things the way he likes, and as long as he gets enough money from LFS, everything will be fine. One day, I'd also like to work on something I want to work on without feeling pressure or being rushed - it's the way society should be, and could be, if there were more people like Scawen (or at least more patient people) instead of more people that want everything, now.
