I'm not a huge fan of the virtual wheel, but I usually just leave it on and ignore it. It really annoys me in iRacing, in cars like the Dallara and the FW31 that if the wheel is turned off it still stays there and doesn't turn, that annoys me more than anything.
20% with Mitt Romney, not a surprise. 75% with Obama and my best match is Jill Stein with 93%. Also 94% with the green party. Also, apart from bible bashing hicks, who doesn't believe in the theory of evolution? Are there seriously Presidential candidates that don't?
I read somewhere that they were considering an LFSworld type system, only with more structure for online racing I think. Let me try and dig out that article, it's in this thread somewhere.
Can you post your impressions of the FFB Vistaman? That was the best part of NKP for me (and LFS for that matter) and is my biggest disappointment about iRacing, even with the new linear option. How does it feel? I'm glad to hear the feel of the sim came naturally to a sim racer.
He is right that both of the parties are extremely right wing. Of the political parties in the UK, the Tories are clearly the most right wing of the mainstream, yet they are absolutely nowhere near as far right as even the Democrats. It's almost like it's an extreme reaction to Communism, to go the complete opposite direction.
The best thing about this olympics was the coverage here on the BBC. I had 24 different HD channels at all times, with every single bit of action on at least 1 of those channels. Plus, BBC1HD was full of olympics during the day, showing loads of different sports, then had a full nearly 2 hour review show at night with highlights of that particular day. Cannae beat it.
Worst thing is dressage. Who the **** says horse dancing is a sport? The horse could go out without a jockey (rider, dancer, weirdo) and the horse would still do it's shitty dancing to the music.
This is basically what I assumed the opening ceremony was going to be like. Thankfully the opening ceremony was great but this is pish, George Michael is a waste of space and he's been on for about 3 hours already.
The little BBC clips that were running before 9 o'clock were brilliant, they should have left it at that. At least there's a lot of beatles tunes getting mixed in.
You don't want people to think, you want people to blindly believe whatever bullshit you feed them without checking other sources first, you're a hypocrite.
We won 4-0 and dominated the game. if they don't go straight back up to the SPL in 3 straight years it will be a massive shock. The team as it is should be perfectly capable of beating any SPL team that they meet in the cup, never mind the 3rd division teams.
This is an unseeded Scottish 3rd Division club taking part in the 1st round of the Scottish League Cup on a Tuesday night. Most teams across the world can only hope for 40k people turning up for their biggest games. This is what I call support.
Well done you found the 1 example which he got absolutely slaughtered for. Lafferty is scum, a shit footballer and I hated every second he ever played for the Gers, and he rightly got serious abuse for that and never did it again. Shall I dig up the videos of Celtic being diving cheating bastards aswell then? Guaranteed you'll find more from they ****s than from Rangers.
He's not Scottish anyway, so he doesn't count. Right enough, neither are Celtic.
TVE, you have never seen or played a Scottish game of football. Maybe in the SPL you get the odd bit of acting, but guaranteed if someone starts acting up, 2 minutes later he will have something to actually complain about. The football I play every sunday (actually play twice on a sunday) definitely doesn't have any of this shit going on, we just have a proper game of football.
Ice Hockey is bullshit too, it's a fight where a game of hockey occasionally breaks out. If I wanted to watch a fight I would watch boxing or UFC, not some arseholes on ice throwing a couple of shit punches.
Talking about ranking stats differently, Scotland would be 6th in the medal table if they were seperate from GB. Not saying they should be, but quite interesting. They have got 10 of the 37 medals of team GB despite only making up 10% of the squad.
Drugs and doping are terrible for Athletics, but who doesn't want to see a Dope 100M final with the winner running it in 7 seconds.
It's ironic that people on a motorsport forum, fans of motorsport have a dim view of 'bending' the rules slightly. Motor racing is the most notorious sport for it out of them all.
TVE, when you've spent the last 4 years training, winning is everything. If you did the 4 years, turned up at the olympics and said "it's not important to win" I would laugh in your face, and then do whatever it takes to beat you. No-one remembers the guy who came last, even if he was morally superior, which he isn't. There's no rule against what the cyclist done, so where's the problem? It's not like he's bending the rules, there were none to be bent.
Only now do they give us Linear FFB (hidden in an ini file), it's brilliant, **** knows why it's not the default and it's taken what, 4 years?
On iR I was pretty much putting up with the driving so I could race against other people, but now with proper FFB the cars actually don't feel terrible to drive. Of course, cold tyres are still faster (still can't believe it's been like this for a year) but the FFB makes some difference.
