Quote from shiny_red_cobra :Hey guys, just thought you might want to see what a Canadian winter looks like...

We just had one of the biggest snowfalls in the last decade here in Toronto, between 20 and 30 cm of snow on the ground.

Looks nice (if you are inside with a cup of coffee though). Photos are blue tinted, did you used some filter or modified them PS etc..? Or maybe simply white balance issue

Jason Becker - Air

A sad story;
Quote : " Many of you already know the tale of Jason Becker, the gifted young guitarist who developed ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in his early twenties. It is a disease which slowly disables every muscle in the body on the way toward total paralysis while the unaffected mind remains trapped inside a body that no longer responds.
Interview with him one year ago."

Quote from thisnameistaken :Hehe. OK, well here it is!
You might be a bit disappointed, but it does suit the song perfectly, and that's what being a good musician is all about.

Yes, I understood, the song is just not my style but solo part fits right. Right action in right time makes difference.

Now playing:
Dream Theater - As I am

Quote from thisnameistaken :Ever heard Joe Jack Talcum? His solo on Punk Rock Girl is probably the best guitar solo I've ever heard.

No did not hear his name before. I will check that song.
Sometimes, I found a song that contains superb guitar solo but never heard it name before,
it happens, there is plenty of good but unknown musician out there imo.

ChiliFan;
If you are a Satriani fan, than Im sure you will like other guitarist I mention before,
especially Vai, he is really good and funny guy though.
Petrucci is also very very good, he plays like a machine, he is
lead guitarist of the Dream Theatre.
Satriani-Vai-Malmsteen these three called "G3" had some concerts together. You may like.

Quote from ChiliFan :Dire Straits - It Never Rains

No-one better than Knopfler.

Sure he is. But have you listened the Marty Friedman,
Steve Vai, Satriani and Petrucci? They are also good guitarists

Quote from JTbo :You have an egg, you peel it and find that it is chocolate inside, sweet, you like it.

Next day you get new egg, you peel it but it is real egg, yuck, not sweet at all.

But isn't real egg still better for you than chocolate egg, even it may not be as sweet right away

Great analogy there.

Realism is will be the most distinguished specialty of this sim besides of other sims imo.
Thank you Scawen and his team for their efforts. Keep up good work.

Quote from The Very End :Your a singer, ok
If you want to have a challenge, try to sing the end of the song "aces high" from Iron Maiden You know what I mean if you play it hehe.

You are joking arent you? Aces HAAIII !!
I already said that he is a great voice. For me, there is no way to sing like him,
except if some heavy stuff fall on to my foot.

thisnameistaken;
I listened all three of them. As you pointed, its a good bassline.
I think you are a bass player. Beside of electric guitar, I am
trying to play bass also. At a very basic level, just to fill
the necessary parts of my home recordings.

Now play:

I took it this morning, from my window
I like Iron Maiden and also like to play "Wasting Love" but its damn impossible to sing (gets too high pitch for me), Dickinson's voice is so unique.

Sorry, but it was not shown when i started the thread.
Well, my point is finding out who has the fastest AI and asking them for knw files.
But it seems AI's never reach competitive level with lapping more at BL1 with XFG.
Instead of this, maybe giving them XFR and a very slow set makes sense.
AI lap times on BL1 - XFG

Hi,
AI's learn with every lap AFAIK.
After many laps, my AI PB is 1.37.52 at BL1 with XFG.
What is the fastest time for your AI's at BL1 with XFG?

* Corrupted dll/vxd files (video card driver files)?
* Corrupted LFS.exe file / missing file/files in LFS directory?
* HD bad sector/heavily fragmented disk?
* Malware?

I think one or more of those things messed up somehow.

Quote from Bandit77 :You know this situation: you're in lap 9 of maybe 10 and in 5th position and you might be able to even improve to 4th... but then there's this late-joiner. Yes, he's faster than you, but you're in a race and he is actualy not. Nevertheless he fights with the knife between his teeth, slowing you down in the best case, making you crash in the worst.

It is highly possible indeed but ghost car mode midrace joining is not a
good idea, cars passing through each other is could be annoying IMO.
Canceling midrace joining is there as an option.

Yes, physics is not good and car handling is quiet numb.

A's fault. Before the curve, B did have sufficient overlap.

Quote from bbman :halo, think logically: Yes, you got several cylinders compressing, but just as many decompressing! Physically, two equal forces in opposite direction cancel each other out...

Many myths are being told over and over again, because those who wrote the articles on wiki or anywhere else thought they knew when in reality, they didn't... I rather believe two people who are studying/have studied motor engineering than umpteenth internet pages written by laymans...

There is no decompression or technically "significant" decompression at the moment of engine braking.
Creating decompression is same thing the creating power for an engine.
To do that you have to press accelerator pedal.
So we can not say that there are equal forces acting.

Secondly, I tried to share my own experiences here to help those want to know
what happened actually. I might be miss a point or so, its always possible.
I did not mention my educational level & studies to validate my point, and this is not necessary.
Its good to be in criticizing attitude, it makes clear out the discussion points.
For this thread, I can not say anything else.

BlueFlame, I agree with you. Thread started as you said.
And perhaps, ended right here for me.
Have a good day to you all.
