Quote from DieKolkrabe :Why two more in Toronto however? Ideally give Winnipeg a team back, and one in Nova Scotia

the only reasons i can think of are the ones i mentioned earlier... all the corporate elite around toronto usually snag up all the seats before anyone else can buy them, plus they're overpriced like everything else in toronto.

plus toronto is the biggest city in ontario, and that includes ottawa. thing with the ottawa area though, is that montreal is also close by, so they have some choice that doesn't require buying a passport and spending 2 hours at the border on top of the 3-4 hour drive each way.

in all honesty, i think the only two viable places in ontario for a new team would be toronto or hamilton.

don't get me wrong, it would be nice to get the jets and the nordiques back, but they would have to either remove dead southern teams or expand, and expansions require massive scheduling changes to accommodate, even moreso than moving a team or two.

Quote from Scawen :They are still unmovable. They are not perfect - you can still get some unrealistic collisions with them, for example if you drive into their end you will probably get a strange intersection. But if you just hit them in the side, you will just bounce off them like a wall beside a track, and if you ram them they just stop you, you don't just pass through or get flung in the air.

woooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo.

now if only the autocross areas were bigger. thanks for the update, and stuff, maybe i'll consider getting back into layout building.

(i think my fig-8 layout was pretty sweet, if it weren't for the barriers)

the rideau canal isn't frozen in the summer, so you can't exactly go skating...

now that i think about it, parliament might be open by the time you get here, if you're interested in foreign politics or monarchies.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :Franchise, IF he stays and isn't traded

IMO Toronto could do with trading the right people.

they already shot themselves in the foot though, they had a great defence and they got rid of it. i mean, bring back ian white and kaberle.

Quote from EliteAti :@Bunder, do you think there is going to be relocation after this season? I heard Bettman wants to bring the Jets back.

the problem with adding/moving only one team is scheduling and division brackets... but i suppose if they did add/move a single team, i'm not sure where they would put it...

thing is, it's almost impossible to get leafs tickets (but who would want to pay up the ass to see them lose?), and in order to see a buffalo game, you need a passport and you have to drive forever to get to the stadium. it would be really nice if we could get a team of our own, we already have an AHL team (and a very successful AHL team at that). that's the only reason i can think of for why we won't get our own team, besides some cockamamie excuse bettman can come up with to sidestep the media.

aside from those qualms, they did mention the possibility of bringing another team to either winnepeg or quebec city, but i know for a fact that they won't be as financially viable as hamilton could be. but in all honesty, i think he'd rather give the team to an american city, regardless of how backwards that may seem.

edit: and gustavsson sucks. he's just as bad as toskala. j.s.giguere was supposed to be another toronto saviour, but they killed their defence by trading it all away.

Quote from EliteAti :Probably Phoenix, it would be somewhat ironic if they won the cup since their arena is almost always empty then they play there.

i still don't understand how bettman can choose a useless backwater city for a hockey team, and will completely ignore hamilton for a team because we had one in the 1920's... they did it with pittsburgh in the 90's too. even if we don't have the nhl-grade stadium, we had a moneybags who was willing to foot the bill, but still no.

Quote from Flame CZE :I have a feeling that there will be only those 7 layouts in LFS. Why did they make the videos of those 7 only then? And Victor told me that there will probably not be reversed configs.

that makes no sense to me... why would lfs put tracks in with no reverse configuration? if they do, it would be the first(?)

Quote from bunder9999 :i used to use "old location bar" but it doesn't have an update for ff4, and i don't want to trash my profile fudging the compatibility stuff.

Quote from Bean0 :Use this to keep using older extensions

just a bump, "old location bar" isn't compatible with firefox4, even with the compatibility protection turned off... some of it's functional, but not enough to warrant me to keep using it. ah well.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Very interesting reading, thanks.

that's what i don't get about how the sensationalist media is portraying the incident.

you get radiation from everything, you can't escape it on this planet or any other... hell, you can even absorb radiation from smoking.

Quote from Intrepid :It's just a video knocked up by the guys at Rockingham. I am pretty sure they have the simulator set up down there somewhere as well. It's hardly a big deal, and i am not sure how this is an example of the devs rubbing the wounds. That's nonsense.

I revised my comment with two from another thread, which still contains my final stance on the topic. Long story short, LFS's VWS and Rockingham have been displayed around the world in several instances while the gamers get the shaft. I hope they have some back-door arrangement where they're getting trucks of money.

Quote from boothy :Not exactly as server admins are Limad4 by by default

yeah, bean0 mentioned that to me on irc, i'm too lazy to use the lfs admin password though.

Quote from Bean0 :Firstly, although it is considered 'bad form' to copy the naming scheme of another server or team, there is nothing in any official rules/terms/etc preventing it.

Secondly, your actions against the owner of the server are tantamount to hacking.
You make yourself a Limad in the default Airio config for no apparent reason, this is a backdoor although not actually hidden. Unless people look through every line of the various config files they may not even be aware of this.

You then abused this admin position by banning users from servers that you should have had absolutely no control over.

Quote :# ================= LIMITED ADMIN RIGHTS - LIMADS ================= #

# In this section you can define people with limited admin rights,
# including the commands they can use and actions they may take at
# different levels.

# In FREE version you may use the following levels: < 0 = everyone,
# 0 = lowest limad, 2 = mid limad, 4 = virtual admin, > 5 = no one.
# FULL version supports finer limad tuning by adding: 1 = low limad,
# 3 = high limad, 5 = more than admin, requires admin pass as well.

# --------------------- Limad Names and Levels -------------------- #

# Usernames (registered) of limited admins aka limads. These names
# are checked upon connecting and exact case insensitive match is
# required. Default rights: Level 0 - can use prohibited names (good
# for team members), Level 1 - can kick, Level 2 - can ban anyone
# connected, Level 3 - can ban and unban anyone, Level 4 - can do
# almost anything, Level 5 - can also manipulate with stats.


#Limad2=EQ Worry
# Just an example, feel free to remove me. :-)

Limad4=bunder9999

# FULL: Custom descriptions of limad levels based on rights - string
# Always seven comma-separated textual items are required, starting
# with normal drivers without any additional options.
LimadDesc=User, Limad0, Limad1, Limad2, Limad3, Limad4, Limad5


This is the limad section of the Airio config. Note that by default, you need to add yourself as a limad in order to do anything useful. If the user can't be bothered to read the file when they edit it, then it's their own damn fault.

The original purpose of leaving the line in there was for EQ to debug problems that could occur.

I still don't think EQ did anything wrong.

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :I'm guessing blender is the only "free" one?

Oh yeah my mum is an architect :P and she uses ArchiCAD and VectorWorks? Would they be worth shoving onto my laptop??

stick with blender, i'm assuming what rfactor needs is the MDL file output, so you'll need something that can write that. if blender is too confusing, you might want to consider gmax... it's a stripped down version of 3dsmax. it's not perfect, but if you're familiar with 3ds, it should be relatively easy. (or you can give autodesk the $4000 middle finger they deserve)
