@ Chriskart

Excellent post mate, hope it continues to work out for you.

Seems like you have the talent, ambition and the support to push it hard.

Orra best

Quote from Mustafur :

Kubica, Webber and Trulli are the ones to me that have improved the most since the removal of TC, Fisi would be right up there too.

The People that i think have fallen back have been Coulthard and Massa.

And Piquet has been the biggest disapointment of the season by far.

I think Button has come on quite well with the TC removal, unlike David "Dodgem Car" Coulthard who has cost me many points in the F1 Manager game. Hamilton is also not the same driver he was last year.
Big to Fisi and his consistency in the FI, he's done brilliantly, but top marks to Kubica, he's been a revelation.

Car racers, hardest men in the world?

As someone quite famous once said, along mountaineers and matadors, then yes

I love my Mythos.

Comfy, practical and with a good balance of properties to allow both delicate smearing and severe edging.

Can be used for technically sick stuff in Font or all day battles in the Alps.

Maybe in Xmas 2009? after the Arctic and Antarctic language support... just kidding offcourse ..

Don't be ridiculous.....I heard from some bloke in the pub that Urdu and the Click language of the San Bushmen are next for development

So Eskimos have 147 different words for "snow" (urban myth, I know :tilt. I wonder how many they have for "noob" lol

No offence Devs, luvin the Y18 patch

Quote from RocksGt :

Team name Drink Team
Subleague position 3 / 54

Your personal broker fee 10%

Nice league position

Helluva brokers fee

Cheers for the info!

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Anywhoo, i think the broker fees increase the more successful you are and i think how good your teams components are ?

I'm sitting squarely in mid-field and being charged 6% atm

Aye, I was kind of wondering if the leaders were up to 10% or higher? Not that I expect to get that high......I think I've peaked too early as usual

Any clues as to when the new patch will be out?

Test patches scare me, you wouln't believe the things I can break doing just the simplest changes :slap:

Could do with the more friendly FPS adjustment rapidly tho.....

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Bah, stop being such a grumpy old git

To be honest 2.5 mill aint gonna make that much of a difference, and that question would be next to impossible to answer for our younger viewers.

Utter tripe.

10 min on google/wikipedia and it's a gimme. No-one should be getting any of these bonus questions wrong

And 2.5M does make a difference, especially when you have a brokers fee of 8% (10th in sub-league)

As an aside, what % fees are the top boys running?

Sometimes I really despair...............

Quote from Bean0 :

Yes, that gauge shows FPS

I was sure you were at the wind up there!

Hope it disappears when the new interior patch comes out....

I just hate FB full stop. Can be relatively competitive on the rest of the tracks but I just don't 'get' FB at all.

I say bin it altogether (:grumpy or make the chicanes proper chicanes that need to be taken in 2nd or 3rd gear.

Quote from henrypuspurs :

Ive been driving on the demo servers and Ive hit a bit of a wall. I used to do drifting in the turbo demo car but now thats not avaliable anymore Ive turned to the FBM. The thing is Ive hit a wall in my laptimes, on the Blackwood normal circuit I am mostly in the 1:20's and Ive only once done a sub 1:20 (1:19:73 to be exact) but I notice theres quite a few drivers doing 1:14's. Hasnt stopped me doing alright in races (quite a few high finishes and a win just because I didnt crash or spin once) but its getting frustrating relying on other ppls mistakes to get me up the pack.

Im using a joypad so steering isnt that precise and throttle and brake are either on or off (plus it pulls left all the time coz I cant figure out how to give the controller a deadzone).

Im thinking its a mixture of setup and driving thats holding me back Im just hoping someone had a similar experience and figured out what they were doing wrong. The gap is over 5 seconds to the good racers I just wanna bring that down a bit, any advice at all would help.

PM me and we could hook up on our private server for some tuition if you like?

Be warned tho, I aint that fast. Mid 14's my best.

ps - in the options/controller tab there is an option to have or to remove deadzones.

Be careful with the wireframe when saving different layers.

Edit - where is the best place to find decals?

Quote from Woz :

Set wheel to 720, lfs to 720 and wheel comp to 1. Wheel turn will be 1:1 in all cars then

Have fun.

True, but then you lose the soft FFB stops. I think the new logitech profiler allows you to adjust settings from in game, so no need to jump in and out of the profiler if changing from 720 - 540 etc.

Much of a much I suppose.

Quote from petercollins :

Anything I should know?

It's not true that you can actually see the great wall of china from outer space

Erm, back OT, what controller were you using previously?

Massive Respect

Hardcore sim racing indeed, lol

ps - and you won the race.......this boy is tough stuff

Quote from Gekkibi :

It doesn't matter if I have throttle or not, I have problems doing the middlemost turn in chicane. If I cut even tiny amount, I will be spinned.

Maybe I should tweak my setup. However, don't have a clue what should I change there. Probably I should try ride-height...
(or learn how to drive)

Take a big cut on the middle part of the chicane (so your left tyres are on the striped kerb not the concrete part!) and keep 75% throttle, then full gas straight away over the final part of the chicane then all the way down the straight to the R-hander.

Quote from fragile_dog :

didn't watch (working) didn't bet (no money ) but Comply or Die has to be the best name for a horse ever.

Aye

I'm a surveyor in the construction industry, and the tip came from our Health & Safety officer

Quote from MR_B :

So? How much did you win!?

I personally didn't watch it. Whipping horses doesn't float my boat.

£10 stake at 10/1 odds, £110 back

I bet on quite a few sporting events, F1, the big horse races, footy, golf etc. Makes watching it that wee bit more exciting

Made £3k profit on the football alone one year (1999). In 2006 the F1 made me over £500.

Highly selective and prudent betting is the only way I've found to make a wee profit.

I don't even like watching the nags

What a crackin' race

Inspired by a work colleague on Friday night (after a few shandies..) to go stick £10 on Comply or Die FTW

How did everyone else do?

Quote from Hyperactive :

Well, for me it wasn't so bad. Button 21st, Barrichello 11th, Force india engines did quite well, Honda chassis not so much. Elf fuel was nice though. 393 points, quite exactly what the excel sheet calculated for it

2 bets right I think :/

Getting rid of Vettel was good choise though

I had an ok day, not great tho at 399pts. Let down by poorly performing STR chassis which I had only just upgraded, bah!

How does the Elf fuel work? Do you get the pick of the best results from the teams listed or a full combination of the lot?

Did pretty well on the bets tho, if only the Ferrari duo had finished the other way around I would have had a tricast.....

3 weeks till the next race (Barcelona), can't wait

ps - nice one Team Turbo, no. 5 overall for the weekends results

Quote from Dygear :

Bonus question 2
What beverage will the winning drivers get on podium after the Bahrain Grand Prix?
Bahrain GP - Characteristics

Ach, come on

I know it's all a bit of fun, but no need to spill the entire tin of beans

I've got about 8.5M credits in th bank just now, not sure whether to spend a little now or hope for some good results so I can get shot of that Force India chassis.

Decisions descisions
