It's been discussed many times before and we all would want it. Who wouldn't want a fully working damage model?

Did you use the search function before posting this?

EDIT: Answering my own question... Wreckers

Quote from Albieg :And here comes another one... Mr Kerry, would you please name a player involved in the match fixing scandal? I repeat that again: keep that out of the World Cup and wait for the outcome of the investigation. Half of Italy is waiting to see the guilty managers punished.

I wasn't questioning the integrity of the players involved at the World Cup, just the state of the country's game as a whole.

How deep do you know it has gone? You don't. I doubt that even the prosecutors know. For all we know all the Italian team may have been involved. It's just not possible to know all the facts.

I congratulate Italy on winning it, I just would have preferred any other county, bar Portugal

I would imagine Materazzi must have said something pretty bad for Zidane to have reacted that way. I would think in such a high pressure situation if you had been verbally abused, you would have reacted in a far more violent way. I hope this doesn't end up tarnishing what has been a fantastic career.

On the actual winners of the World Cup, I'm disappointed. A country who's top league is under investigation for match fixing and played some of the most boring football I've seen in my life ends up winning.

At least it wasn't Portugal though. I for one am beginning to get fed up with the state of Premiership, European and International football. I'd rather watch my local team playing honest.

It wouldn't surprise me if Williams kicked Webber. To me he seems like a guy who quite likes himself, although I think he has done a lot of good stuff outside of motorsports that he should be applauded for.

I would imagine in a really quick car he would be quite decent, but really he is just an average driver who drives with some consistency. I can't imagine him driving for Red Bull and I would like to think Renault would go for Heikki Kovalainen.

Any other ideas for a likely destination?

I use a 9-3 grip on the wheel, to me it seems the most natural and it was the position that I adopted the first time I touched a wheel. Apparently I will have to change this by the time I actually decide to start driving for real, it's just too blooming expensive right now...students these days

Back on topic, fair play to the guy, it's often a good thing to change the scenery when things aren't going great.

I'll be watching with interest how he does.

I think you'll struggle, the turnout for the LFS Demo league has been low I think, so for people to do a 24 hour race....

Italiya Sport FOX, sort of an amalgam of the '89 Joest and '90 Richard Lloyd 962's that ran the livery.

Ooh I like that skin, may I use it?

My non vMax skin count is up to two, this one shows my feminine side

Quote from Nck 1991 :Whats the server name ?

It's not available to Demo Racers, if I remember correctly.

Quote from duke_toaster :The tests only gauge a driver's speed, which doesn't matter. What does matter is
  • Not wrecking
  • Obeying blue flags i.e. Letting through next corner possible
  • Being civilised generally
  • etc. etc.

I totally agree.

Whatever anyone says I believe the general quality of drivers in regards to the points above have fallen. There are still friends/names that play the game who you can trust, but too often now you feel like a race is in the lap of the gods.

The only option available is to make a set of rules appear before each race with a time lag, making sure they read them. Then server admins must start to get tough and ban, instead of trying to be politically correct. Warn, Remind, Ban.

I also love the banger racing, and I do flip the cars back over. However I think it's a stupid rule to be honest and would rather it didn't exist. Guys it's still a race and if you get flipped thats hard luck. It comes with the territory in my opinion.

It seems like a decent setup, I will post on the vMax forums to try and gather some vMax interest.

Well done Bawbag, I hope you enjoyed your time as a single driver!

I prefer a lighter force feedback because if the FF is high I tend to jerk the wheel in a reaction and therefore spin the car. I suppose it's personal preference but if it's "breaking" your thumbs then maybe you should lower the setting?

My personal favourite is the first one, made me chuckle as it sums him up.

Quote from Rare White Ape :I'll be putting it up later today. I have a few fixes that need fixing on it and I'm busy this morning so give it a few hours.

Here's what it looked like midway through the build. I used a screenshot from GT4 as a template for the swoopy design on the side. And I had a crazy amount of layers going on there

EDIT: Finished'd!

Fantastic skin! Saved into my skins folder as the only non vMax skin I have.

That good!

Quote from MZWiZard :Yes it was VCS indeed. You were logging on and off and the last time it said in red "JOOS -main", which means you run a modified version of some kind and we will NOT allow such things on our server!

Absolute rubbish, see Bawbags' post above.

He pretty much says what I would.

I'd personally rather the old style qualifying be bought back, even if it has to be shortened a tad. It gave the poorer teams chance to go out on track early and give sponsors much needed TV airtime. They get none now!

Quote from P1lot :Is there a way to tell your mileage over time? That would be cool.
Only thought if this a short while ago, and as you can see there's not many points to my manual graph
Would be interesting to see the change in rate over time

Quote from jtr99 :Chris, I don't know you from Adam, but I have to say that this kind of crack goes very well with a picture of Graham Hill. Whenever reading your posts I now get an image of Graham Hill sitting back with a cigar and a brandy and typing nasty comments.

Hmm, I like it...
