How could they get rid of Midfield Raceway?! That was one of the best made up tracks on any racing game. Ever.

I enjoyed midfield as well. I've already had gt5 preordered for a while, and I just ordered a PS3 160gb yesterday because it came w/ a free extra controller.

Quote from Inouva :

Damn, looks soooo real the replays, for a moment though was real,

The rain effect in both videos are stunning, no other game ( Pc or console ) Have such beautiful rain effect on the windshield+outside camera, hope we can see some night+rain race

I dont know if GT5 gona be a "real Simulator" (In term of physics ), but damn if i have the money i buy the ps3 and gt5

the rain in F1 2010 and splashes in DiRT 2 look pretty cool too

WTFF
Intro song sucks awfully
What on earth are they thinking?
Edit: Hope it's fake but I doubt it

Japan is big into the whole androgynous pop music so it's not a huge surprise.

LFS club in gran turismo 5

i still need to get a 1080p monitor and a ps3

Quote from GX390 :

Parts like what?

Thanks

you could grab a gts 250 or an ati 4850 for real cheap. but your cpu is pretty slow :/

its going to be the same price whether he buys it now or later, supposedly. I havent had a real race in lfs in... i dont know how long, feels like at least a year or 2.
I'm still waiting on that big patch

get some cheap used parts from a reputable UK forum like bit-tech or something.

Quote from aaltomar :

iRacing will probably get an updated tyre model before LFS does. Dave seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about it.

Here's a video of the version in development:
http://www.virtualr.net/iracing-com-new-tire-model-video/

In an earlier video Dave was asked how the new model compares with the old one and what grade would he give them respectively. Current model 5, new model 10 (with a wink).

Pretty promising, probably along the same lines Scawen is developing the LFS tyre model. Here's a longer interview about the new tyre model: http://www.virtualr.net/iracin ... re-model-video-interview/

yeah i was watching that a few days ago and thinking that it would be interesting to listen in on a conversation between dave and scawen.

The new patch is out!

graphics are better now with the new directx features. i noticed new lighting effects and the reflections seem better along with performance. there's an ingame benchmark, and replays can be saved.

Buuut... the car feels dull driving is so dull in the game, but the graphics are so nice.

I just got a special 3 month re-activation code for iracing I am gonn wait till the end of the month to use it, though. anyone else who took a break from iracing might want to check it out. I am extremely interested in the new tire model that will be coming in 2011. The way the development team is sharing information on their ever evolving product sorta makes gt5 pale in comparison. Of course iRacing is on the pc. The new build has new graphical improvements, but i want more Dx10/11 goodies.

the clubsport pedals are awesome. i assume the gt3 rs has similar on wheel settings, so you can have 5 different profiles with different steering lock, ffb strength, damper and drift mode, linearity etc, settings.

u guys think the graphics engine will be updated? its taken so long... all time wiating for physics to be done, what are the others doing that work on graphics and textures?

Berserk anime trailers are on youtube.

My last purchase that was kinda expensive.

Maybe the working girls are moving from craigslist and backpage to LFS chat now? its a brilliant move, since the police gave up on seeing S3 long ago an wouldnt think to check here.

Quote from Jertje :

I was a big ATI fan when they produced proper cards like the 9700 and 9800 Pro. These days it's nVidia all the way though. Times change

AMD just came out with the 6870 and 6850 and they perform great for the price. 6850 beats the Nvidia 460 and costs either the same or less on most websites.

I am obsessed w/ martial arts, kickboxing (k-1) and mma. hence my name

Yes, iRacing takes paypal

when the new messiah is born, we will reset our calenders to 0. then 2009 years from that date, we will have S3. It was a misunderstanding.
