Quote from BigPeBe :My dad knew from work the racing driver Esa Schroderus, from Team F40 (2x Ferrari Challenge Champion, used to drive Super Saloon etc.).
But I think my dad hasn't seen him for years.

When I was a kid, we used to get free VIP tickets for racing weekends from him. I still can remember the mighty Super Saloon-monsters.

Yes, I'm SO famous.

Yes, I'm quoting myself (again).

Two things I just remembered.

My dad and my little sister were on local newspaper, don't remember why.

Good friend of mine got to the local newspaper, after he smashed his unlicensed car, without drivers license, to a tree.

For me that spoiler looks like exactly same as the WRC ones have. But on that pic/car it just looks horrible.

Nice, I remember that Doom 2 was the first FPS game I've ever played, I was a little boy then...
Doom 2 was very similar to this, IIRC this 1 was called as "Doom 95" when I played it, my cousin had it on his PC.
These were very frightening games for a little boy back in a day, me and my mates tried to play the Doom 2 campaign, but I think that we never finished it actually.

Sooo... I see what you lerts did here, instead of just writing useless spam, you wrote useless spam and disguised it as an interesting thread.

Well I'll reply still, it's me car of course.

Quote from flymike91 :I drive an auto in RL that I use for the tight, twisty roads in the mountains and for autocross events. I would hate to be bothered with manual shifting at times like those. I have driven a manual in the same situation and it didn't suit me to be steering, braking, clutching and shifting on such tight turns.

Quite a pain to read that.

sorry

Are you sure you didn't do any over revving while shifting down?

On braking situations it is very common that people shift down a bit too early and it results in over revving.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :White?

Well it's white already, but it probably will grow few inches in height.

Quote from mcintyrej :Why would he get 1.6 when Source is much better graphically and has a lot more players online.

What about the Call Of Duty series Lerts? Or possibly Far Cry 2 if your PC can handle it.

It is true that Source is a lot better looking and modern than 1.6, but 1.6 still just owns the Source. Source is so much more boring in comparison.

Usually on LAN's with my friends we don't even bother with the Source, 1.6 is a lot more of an entertainment, we only played Source when it was new and felt like it.

I would recommend 1.6 over Source, they both look old by now, but as an entertaining multiplay-FPS the 1.6 is way much better I think.

It's been snowing about for a week now. Because of "snowstorm" we just had blackout for an hour or so. But that's really nothing new it happens few times every fall / start of a winter.

Quote from Feffe85 :if u take ur drivers test using a auto boxed car, u wont be allowed to drive stick. and i dont think ur allowed to race with a manual car either if ur not even allowed to drive stick on the road.. if u get my point?

When I got to the driving school, anyone even didn't tell me I would have a choice to learn with automatic gearbox, I think in Finland it is only possible if you are somehow disabled and it prevents you from using manual.

I get your point, but a typical driver who never drives with manual, is probably not going to ever even consider about racing.

Automatic just isn't for racing.

Ok, no problem then.

Yes, the OP clearly confesses his just being a troll, somewhere around 7-10 pages.

But I still had a laugh with the pictures.

Quote from wheel4hummer :Why not make a hybrid car.

No.

Don't mention hybrid and car in same sentence, if you're not talking about turbos.

+Why to have automatic gearbox in LFS? Automatic gearbox is slower and way more stupid than using proper manual.

If you can't get proper bass sound out of LFS, there is something wrong with you, not with the LFS.
I myself have to adjust the subwoofer output almost to zero to not to kill my ears while driving LFS. If I keep the settings like in many other games, my whole friggin room will shake while motor-braking with XRT.

Working 5.1 system would be good tho.

And no, no voice chat. I already hate to hear people doing stupid sounds on other games whit VOIP. If you want to voice chat with your friends use Team Speak or Ventrilo or similar.
Also suggested before.

My old rig was
AMD 64 3000+ (754)
ATi X800 Pro
2Gb DDR400 mem

I used that resolution, all settings max, 8x AA and 8x AF with superb FPS. So yes, you should have no problems at all.

All I'm hoping for that it is going to be like XP, but with DX10 support / support for new games.

I'm just glad that it seems that there is never going to be a day that I have to install Vista on my PC, I have tried it out in few PCs and it just feels rubbish all the way.
Lets just hope the 7 will be proper OS.

Quote from JVL :15 years old

Note the typo.

-EDIT- Crap didn't see the second page, so my post was useless.

-EDITEDIT- This topic is just asking for a height, but I see people are also telling their weight.
I'm still not 100% sure about my height, but I just checked my weight so I'm 172 cm / 77 Kg. After a good meal that is probably around 80 kg.

Maybe somewhere around 172cm.

Yeah I'm a bit of a short one but it doesn't bother me.

-EDIT-

Quote from Kaoru :

So why the xrg/xfg have the autoclutch / ignition cut (always talking about simulation)? @.@

They really doesn't. The sim does.

Let me quote myself:
Quote :Yea and the reason why cars like XRG and XFG don't recommend that in your case, are because you are probably using just regular +/- (sequential) style shifter and no clutch, so the game has to "imitate" the drivers actions during shifting (lift off throttle, engage clutch, push gear in, disengage clutch), so the only job that is left for you is tell when to change gear and to what gear.

So tell me, if the sim wouldn't do these actions for you, who/what would?

Get yourself a H-pattern gearstick and a clutch and put all these gear "assists" off, now you have to do it all by yourself.

And the fact that some cars have sequential or H-pattern, it doesn't affect for the being of the clutch pedal.
Some cars just operate clutch automatically, usually with sequential boxes. Most race cars still need the driver to use clutch while he wants to get his car moving, but when you are on the move and want to change gear, many race cars operate the clutch automatically, in some cars you have to lift off by yourself and in some cars don't, they usually have ignition cut or something similar to prevent going ballistic with the revs.

Most cars have H-pattern gearbox and I myself don't know any regular H-pattern car with auto-clutch.

Automatic gearboxes are different thing, they usually don't have clutch pedal, but they also suck.

-EDIT- Just tested this in LFS, I myself normally use H-pattern with clutch, so I wasn't 100% sure how the sequential mode works in LFS with regular cars.
It doesn't anymore automatically lift off from the throttle while changing gear (like it did in older patches), so changing gear up without lifting off results in sudden raise in revs, like it would do in real life.
If you use this "flat shifting" method, the clutch starts to over-heat. If you do enough laps you will eventually destroy the clutch with this style, wich is quite realistic.
So I don't see the problem here?
