Yep, a little break, then straight on with race 2

Soldat is ace!

I THINK you would squeeze the standard & sprint events in, but you'd be out of luck for the endurance event.
Calendar is HERE, in case you haven't seen it.

I only just got in from work, nice 12 hour shift
So i won't get chance to practice tonight unfortunately

I'll be on too hopefully. I only managed to get in 15 mins last night.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I would just like to point out, Lee Martin, SAVED Fergies career, because Fergie was gonna get the boot, if he didn't bring home the FA cup silverware in 1990, and Lee Martin is poor, I tackled him and Skinned him about 8 times in a 5 min football game.

Erm.... Wasn't that Mark Robins, He scored THAT goal, against Forest. Thats who saved Fergies career.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's not a different league you mong, when it was created, everyone from Div1 who wasn't relegated moved into it, you don't know the truth, other than the NAME of something. So a quail Egg is different from a Chicken egg? no, you can still eat it, and no it is still the same shape.

You bloody hypocrite, you rant on about racism & name calling, then call someone a Mong......

Quote from BlueFlame :

8-0! THAT IS WHAT PASSION DOES, IT WINS.
Chelsea can't get a win like that, even WITH all the good players and money.

Hmmm, If Chelsea played that game against that same performance, they could easily score 8

While we're on the subject of wallpaper, does anyone know where you can find any decent 3840x1280 wallpapers?

I'm getting a little bored with the 3 or 4 that i have, and i'm certainly not creative enough to make any of my own.

Appologies for the mini hi-jack

Hmm, i can't find it either....

Quote from tristancliffe :

And I just read the thread title!

Mod! Change it (please)!

Lol, yeah. I must have read that before i read the thread

It wouldn't be something to fight for, like the drivers and teams championships, but it would make an interesting stat at the end

Ah reet, Tristans first post made me think it was a track day :doh:

Quote from harjun :

No pointoverclocking AMD, they don't overclock very well, and put out too much heat, and you probably won't be able to, unless you've built your Own PC...

No point, just buy another processor...

Lol


It wasn't so long ago that AMD was THE overclockers chip of choice
AMD 1700+ DLT3C anyone?.....

I was at a Lancer Register day at Cadwell Park a couple of years ago with my mate, who at the time had a Honda Civic 1.3. My mate had an instructor in the car to give him some pointers for a few laps to help him be a little faster. On one lap, my mate in his Civic came over the brow of the hill coming onto 'The Mountain', then just behind him, a guy in an Integra Type R came over the brow and nearly smashed into the Civic. Apparently this guy got banned from the track for a period because he was driving dangerously.

Anyway, point of the story, would this guy in the video thats driving the Lancer like a n00b have gotten any kind of punishment for driving like that? seeing as it was a track day.

Gratz guys

Yep, my Grandma & Grandad are the same, they are putting theirs up at the moment. Rish knows all about my Grandparents love for Xmas

When questioned about early decorations, my Grandads response was "Well, the weather in November and December is notorious for being very poor, so i thought we'd get a head start".
Honest to god, word for word

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

No, but you can have my DX9 card... (6800GT) lol.

Hmm, a 6800GT, better than a kick in the teeth

If your computer is 6 years old, when S3 comes out, i guarantee you that you wont have it any more.

Buy S2, if you are at all serious about sim racing, you wont regret it.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Also, where did you hear that i like bloom? I don't like bloom at all, ruins the games. In fact, i do not like any of those bloom games.

I didn't hear that you liked Bloom anywhere, hence my question.

Quote from LFSn00b :

• Well, LFS doesnt look real at all

I'm not sure what you consider real then, i honestly don't know how you can say that
I know everyones entitled to an opinion, do you think all the games with Bloom'o'matic switched on look more real?

Yeah, it certainly seems like something he could achieve.

Perhaps if enough of us think it hard enough, we could send him some subliminal message and get him to crack on with it...... Or maybe he will just stumble upon this thread

Quote from Jakg :

I remember an English PS2 magazine saying the PS3 would have "better than real life graphics", at the time i thought they were taking the piss, but now with the amount of Bloom they use i think they might of done it!

I think LFS looks quite good...

Honestly, you look at that picture and struggle to find areas that could be improved.

LFS looks fantastic!, i can't see why people moan that the graphics are poor

EDIT: The only 'Effect' that i'd like to see added would be motion blur to the wheels & tyres only, there's something distracting about a flickering texture on the inside of the tyre when in a single seater.

I personally think the graphics are great as is, with the addition of the high-res packs that the community has produced, plus a healthy dose of AA, it's spot on.
LFS looks so much more real than the competition (competition, yeah right ), everything is dull and dirty like in real life.

Now, if you'll excuse me, i must go and find out why everything outside has suddenly developed this weird.... glow........

Quote from J.B. :

USB mouse (wireless) and printer (off) were connected, maybe that accounts for a part. Switching the switch on the back of the PSU makes the measurement go to 0 W.

Yeak, AFAIK anything plugged in via USB can draw power even after shutting down your pc, unless you hit the switch on the back.
I think this go's for anything plugged into your mobo to be honest, and the mobo itself, as the power supply is obviously supplying power to it even after shut down.

EDIT: And if i'd properly read Shotty's post then i'd have seen he posted pretty much the same. Oh well, it's backs his opinions up huh?

Well, i feel slightly let down by the whole affair. I got in a shed load of sweets ready for the little shites, and two calls is all i got, one from my next door neighbours all dressed up, and one from some other goons.

On the plus side, i have discovered that a combination of a sour raspberry and a sour pineapple starbursts (Opel Fruits for for the old skool) is really quite tasty. All i have left are some Cadburys chocolate eclairs, and some little marshmallow guitars......


EDIT: Oh, erm... Pinch, Punch, First of the Month
