more teasers... well its nice to hear they're working on the corvette.

lol those look like fun

i just tried the Spec Racer Ford for the 1st time around Laguna Seca. I'm only using the default advanced setup atm, but this car is a blast to drive. I'm gonna probably destroy my SR by jumping into a race with so little practice. My best time sofar's a 1'43 w/ my 911 turbo wheel and gated shifter. I should probably be in the low 1'40's before I race...

Whats funny is that 1'43 I just did felt like a great white knuckle ride with all the crazy lift off oversteer and sliding and left food braking and healtoe downshifting. If this car is giving me so much joy. i cant imagine how crazy the lotus is going to be.

has anyone got the wheel to work with gran turismo 4 on the PlayStation 2? nvm just had to press button on dongle. wow, game feels so much better w/ this wheel heh. and now i remember why i was so dissapointed w/ gt4... back to pc

Quote from trebor901 :

the only 2 games i can recall that have realistic wheel turn animation is LFS and Project Torque (even though Project Torque is awful)

Even iRacing doesnt have realistic turn angle animation

iracing doesnt have driver steering animation at all rfactor doesnt have any more of a steering delay for me than LFS.

the radical seems to be fun at Daytona. I'm still getting used to the car and track, but it seems to fit here much better than at sebring. I seem to have an affinity for rovals. even in LFS KY nat is one of my favorite tracks.

the more popular and iRacing becomes and the more support they get, the quicker they'll branch out into europe.

hopefully we get stock production versions of the cars too. w/ out fancy paintjobs and sponsors

Zomg, Eero is doing the physics! nvm everything will be fine guys It should be a very fun game even for simheads like us. But as always, we'll wait for the demo

i neverasked for people to list me as a referrer, but its a bit sad to see some project torque people that flamed me recently subscribe to iracing and not list me. Finals are ova. now i might have some time to actually race.

Quote from Crommi :

One crash does not ruin your rating, don't worry about it. If it was caused by reckless driving, go ahead and file a protest too. Blame-game is pointless because clean racer will end up with low incidents/race average even if he ends up being victim couple times.

Unless a guy is blatantly crashing into you on the straightaway or driving in reverse in the rookie league, it seems unlikely that they'll get punished extra. I got wrecked by a rookie who avgs 14 incidences per race and he's already missed one promotion because his safety rating was too low.

Only reason he was in front of me was cus i spun out 1st lap

Guys who wreck and drive badly wont make it past rookie or at least wont make it past D I realized the guy was not a good driver and I just decided not to back down at that moment, even though i knew he'd be dumb and smash into me.

Learn to fully understand a sentence before bothering to reply to it.

If you're not aware of the fact that the boxing world has happily accepted in it's midst people convicted of murderer, rape, assult etc then it's not me that's ignorant. I'm not going to enter in to any further discussion over it either.

Yes, boxing is corrupt in many ways, but so are many other sports, and businesses. Plenty of people's lives were positively and negatively affected by boxing. You can choose to not support boxing if you want, I dont really care. If you aren't aware that the world isn't full of good, honest people, then, yes, you are ignorant. Learn to see the whole picture of things instead of just picking parts for an argument.

how do you know if you're in 3rd place?

that's how its been for as long as i can remember...

yeah the damage is excessive @ low impact sometimes. I remember sometimes i'll slightly brush against another car in the Solstice, and my whole front will loook like i was in a 30mph crash into a solid brick wall.

who has RJJ raped or murdered? are you serious? what kind of an ignorant over generalization is that?

i knew manny would win... but i didnt think it would be that fast.

Manny Is about to fight Hatton! In a few seconds! hmmm, what did AMD do to get banned?

for the rookie legends and solstice, you still gain SR as normal, right? I just got some from a rookie legends race and from a solstice race where I finished w/ 0 incidences.

nice! what do you think of the track?

i think I may have been using the older power supply. I'm not sure, but I plugged in one that was still wrapped, and the wheel stopped cutting out.

I think you're asking what was the source of the problem more specifically? i think the source was the power supply and not the outlet.

she has a nice bum. I dont see how this is threadworthy, but i guess we're all to blame for posting in this thread.

yeah everything's fine now

i hope things go well for you! i was thinking of building a pod myself. so I'll check this thread once in a while to see how things are going for you.

maybe he's ashamed?
