Well, I do think having infinite amount of time to get that lucky lap is not fair. Pre-qualifying should be just pre-qualifying, it takes more skill and a bit of tactics to get that one fast lap in just few tries when you need it.

But that's how it is now, so in the mean time I'll take my time because I has it.


Oh yes, and what's the logic with identical times with that timing system. Yesterday I got identical time with M.Vukicevic and I was put ahead of him even though he had done his lap before me. Is it now fixed because I'm behind him?

:chairfall

Can't believe some people actually bought that car list being real. Someone has just copy pasted the list of every car, I mean it has about 50 different GAZs, Ladas and so many almost identical cars. Has 9 MRT variations for example. It's so ridiculous I can't believe there are idiots thinking that would be the list Sony had wanted if it would be even possible to have that many cars.

Too bad for the KIA fans too, people who like beige have never been so much disappointed.

Quote from Bob Smith :Yes, this is using my car editor that I started work on ~2 years ago. I've still not updated the program itself in ages, so patches newer than X10 aren't supported (and I won't be adding that anytime soon, either). I'll need to update the licence checking part before I can release though, as my both parts of my two stage system have been circumvented since then, and such functionality needs to work and work well in order to be approved for release, by, err, me.

Yes, you've been teasing people with your uber-tweak for ages now!


Quote :*lots off stuff I don't quote to extend my post*

Ooh, interesting stuff I must say. For some reason I was the most impressed about the battery position having it's own value, but it does make sense. Is there a value for battery weight too? Truck batteries mmmm...Too bad you can't make 12 litre turbocharged diesel engines to work properly.

I wish there would be a special mod-license for the talented people like you to buy, well not you of course, because you don't have the time, but for people who have it. Slap on a hefty price, let's say 200 pounds and most kiddies stay away messing around making Civics.

Quote from Bob Smith :The last slide in this PDF presentation list a set of values for the CoT at a short oval, so I've used these as the numbers for the maximum downforce setup. This changes adds a couple of seconds per lap, I can only just nudge 200mph at one point on the circuit now.

I'm thinking of giving this a final bit of polish and give it a release, I'd like to get feedback on this car.

How much is the car modified from whatever LFS model you used as a starting point? Suspension, wheel base, track width, weight distribution? How close is it to a stock car if put shortly.

I like the Xbox approach to the motion tracking over the Playstation because they've just copied their concept from Nintendo. It feels they've actually gone more ambitious and come up with something new at Microsoft. Only flaw is they lack buttons, but nothing stops them adding separate button controllers though, but I guess the whole idea is the full body control. Nothing stops the games using both the normal controller and the camera tracking system either.

Not saying I don't think this motion craze as a bit off a gimmick, I don't see much wrong with the 360 controller as it's one of the best there has ever been, it just fits. But I guess the 'casual gamers', which seems to be one of the main themes with pink and girly stuff at this years E3, all have trouble with controllers because they got too many moving parts.

Nintendo hit a gold vain, now the rest follow.

And the name is still probably just a project codename I think.

Plus the drive seems awfully smooth in the cockpit, but the steering moving like it should would just look ridiculous. Think about how fast and sharply it would move lock to lock when using the pad. It's like LFS with keyboard.

Quote from AstroBoy :Robby pro skater dydak made that video for me, he is legendary in my eyes. Though seriously the dock and the explosion, did anyone else see him crack a smirk when it went off? Pure brilliance i think, one of the only things subarus done right in awhile.
Get sponsorship from DC and make epic videos, winning moves right there

Well considering he is a co-founder and working at DC-shoes I doubt the sponsorship deal has been that hard to land (source).

I like the videos as cool cinematic pieces, they are awesome as movies and adverts. But I wouldn't rate him that high on the god-like driver list. I mean, takes skill but as risk of not walking away the accident is small, it takes no real courage.

Quote from Rolly-uk :yep, if they can just iron out all the bugs ( and i bet there's a lot in arma2) then we might have a decent game... and don't forget that codemasters are releasing there version aswell- operation flashpoint 2

But isn't that just a shooter with Flashpoint name on it? I mean, Bohemia Interactive made the original which means Arma is Flashpoint.

I'm looking forward to Arma II, but as anyone, I'm pessimistic it actually being playable.

I watched the press conference live yesterday (or was it today, well anyway) and I was a bit stunned, it did seem to work quite well when they showed it at work. It's basically a camera that will detect your movement in three dimensions, I don't know how, but it seemed to work.

I don't know if I like this movement involvement stuff, but it's sure interesting.

Quote from lukelfs :
@Dajmin, They could easily make it so you can plug in a Mouse and Keyboard to allow you to use the editor in a easier way

But then people would just draw dicks on their cars. With that handicapped system people just don't bother because it's so much harder.

Quote from EliteAti :www.polepositiondriver.com for screenshots

I think he means GT5 screenshots, nobody would be that stupid not to look at the links on the opening post would they? Those Forza 3 shots are definitely real considering NFS Shit showed even more detailed in-game action on the 360, so it's not like that is not possible. A welcomed face lift I think, Forza 2 had awful jagged edges on the cars.

But back to consocefagwars. I think GT5 needs to deliver something amazing to justify such a long development time and wait. As investor I'd be furious if it didn't top Forza 3 with miles and sell billions, cure cancer and feed the hungry children of the world. Turn 10 have released two hit racing games by the end of this year, while we don't even know if GT5 will have damage.

Hah, you've used to have them cheap then. Sounds about right what we have always paid. And don't worry, to actually play Arma II you probably need some sort of uber computer not on the market yet anyway, so while you build the extra room for it, the price will drop.

Well, if your skin works on both cars and it can be just renamed mention it on your post (would be stupid to post the same thing twice).

Quote from lukelfs :I dont think its a new wheel? (correct me if im wrong) , i think its just gonna work 900 deg and h-shifter with fm3 , which would be nice, but i have a G25 soo it kinda sucks..

Ooh, thought there was no other than MS wheels for the 360. Well, there shouldn't be a reason they could not make G25 work on it, it's just a bunch of buttons and servos like any other controller. But I guess MS and Logitech don't do well.

Yeah, can't wait. I'm a bit worried they've might have moved too much to direction of the NFS crowd, but the message on the page tries to convince the playability should still be there. I hope it still is, let's wait and see.

GT5 has to really deliver to justify the development time and effort. Although, don't have a PS3 so, don't care much.

e: What, a new wheel? Well **** you MS, I already got a G25.

Have you been building a stock car for your own use in LFS? You bastard.

Post your high resolution (2048x2048) skins for the season here in this thread.

We can then collect them and make a skin pack to share for the racers/video makers/picture takers/random stalkers.

Starting with cars 13 and 32, team Lucky Pirates.

Bad times weight the value of a company far better than great profits during easy times. It's well deserved that badly run companies die away.

Quote from Calvinaquino :It required you to rename the dll???

Yes.

I got the car go so fast I couldn't see it. I dunno what that minus gear is, but add some slide with it and the car goes...fast. You might want to work on brakes next, add skid marks and you got a rally game!

Quote from The Very End :Canot see them
Is it some trick joke, like there are 4 separate ninja pictures in the picture, or a picture in the picture that have 4 ninjas in it?

It's surprising you are still alive and have not been killed by wondering in to a room full of ninjas.

Quote from amp88 :I'm starting to wonder if people only read the first and last sentence of a large block of text. Your brain, ears, eyes and other senses can only cope with so much input. If you use a car with a manual transmission then some of that capacity is automatically taken up by deciding when to change gears. It may only be a small portion, but if it's enough to cause you to miss someone running out infront of you or to miss a red light and cause an accident then it's enough.

Yes, I read it. But I ignored it because if it's subliminal it shoudln't matter at all in any way or the other. I still think that if someone needs to focus on their gears so much they can't focus on the traffic, they should not drive.

We all know learning to drive a car can be a bit difficult, first you learn the clutch then you notice there are other people on the road. But as you said, it comes subliminal. Driving a car with manual doesn't automatically make you drive with one hand. I always keep both on the wheel, and considering how little time gear changes actually take, I'm not worried that I needed to swerve an accident when my hand is on the knob. Statistically speaking that is.

I consider the huge A-pillars in modern cars more of a risk for pedestrians than gear-boxes, one lady with a shopping trolley completely disappeared behind one yesterday.

Personally I don't like automatics because they don't have engine braking.
Quote :I feel more in touch with the car (pardon the pun) because I'm not constantly moving to change gears. I can keep both my hands fixed on the steering wheel almost all the time, so I can feel exactly what's going on with the steering. You get a hell of a lot more feedback through the wheel than you do through a gearstick. How individual people interpret the feedback they get from the car and their hands/feet/bum is up to them, but for me the automatic provides more contact with the car.

Yes, the feeling trough your knob is an old clishé. It's more to do with being in control what your car does, and not letting the car deside, it's silly I know but it's about control not feeling. I agree that steering gives you more feel, especially if it's not equipped with a bad power steering system.

I think you feel you are being assaulted because you drive an automatic. Don't worry, you can still be a sensible driver on the road or a cock like the next guy, people on the internets hardly know anything.
