RAC rallycross (art fern bay) would be fun.

Fern Bay Black could be nice track, maybe as reverse. But not with fast and big cars. Maybe lx4, or even xrgt. Or mrt

Why was I disqualified? Anyways, went a bit over in the flips. Throws are the best.

Quote from frokki :

Somebody has to finish last again, I guess..

That's me. I'm in.

Nah, walls aren't much of sightseeing. I drive wide, but no wall contacts here

RA is the greatest! I've driven it only for few laps before, but now when I put some effort into it, it feels the best car in whole game. For now at least.

Man, this is addicting. Goodbye any serious work for tomorrow...

Why, oh why, do you guys drive so fast? I mean, what's the hurry?

You just don't want to drive with me, who likes to take the sightseeing routes

Quote from Bob Smith :

4? 4 what? I think I can safely say that isn't a winning answer.

4 after taxes. Anything after taxes is 4.

From what I've studied, Japan tried to surrender many times before the bombs, but was neglected. Bombs were used to scare Soviet's. The Cold War had already begun - about the time Berlin was captured.

Study the history, but not from school books. School books only contain what they wan't you to learn.

Quote from 510N3D :

Besides that, in a land without effectively birth control and with such a poor infrastructure its unavoidably that people gone die.

Krhm.. In a land which oppresses other countries, messes with internal affairs of independent nations, loathes social wellfare and rights of poor to benefit the rich elite, its unavoidable that people are going to die.

And no, I don't blame americans or USA as such. I blame the rich custards who get more and more power- and moneyhungry. Eventually the aristocrats will get overthrown by the oppressed masses. And after that, new aristocrats will rise among the masses. A constant loop.

Quote from 510N3D :

The most stupid post i have read so far. Btw, the USA was save, well they thought they are, just like you. See the result and think about it. The worst case can happen everywhere the terrorism do not care as long as many people die. Thats the point you dont get or was it just, uhm...irony or sarcasm? illepall

Well, Finland hasn't dropped bombs or invaded other cultures very much. The word "terrorism" is actually quite an abstract. Only madmen kill for the pure pleasure of killing, the people that get the "terrorist" label often kill for raising awareness on some agenda.

I remember reading from somewhere (heck, it might have been even in this forum, or - better yet - in this thread) that during ww2 the France resistance was called terrorists by the nazis - and similar examples are numerous. It's always a matter of perspective.

Killing people is never nice. In real world there are no good or bad people. In this real world there is only people. Gray people.

A bomb in Africa doesn't affect western world so much as a bomb in "our territory". That's sad fact. When tidal wave kills hundreds of thousand is Pacific, we only seem to care about the casualties of our nation. That is the real world. We born alone, we live alone, we die alone. We care only about things affecting us. That's the fact.

That doesn't mean that things couldn't be changed. It's just that the memory of the people is very short. That saddens.

End of rant, for now. Hope it makes any sense and no biggies if it doesn't. I'm more able to express my views head on than with keyboard.

Anyway, talking in a way you do about a subject like this is respectless in every way to those who got killed because they lived in the wrong country or simple where in the wrong time & place. Who cares about others as long as its not concerning you right?

But anyway, ignore me as usual and go ahead, to live in fantasy land must be so exciting.

This is tough one, gotta strecth my memory a bit.. What saddens me is that I actually have to leave Pit Stop out from the three-list, since the three others affected me more.

Indy500 - This was propably the first racing game which I played for hours and hours non-stop. Never finished the long races, because of crashing. Ten-lappers were easy and 30-lappers too. I played this with 8088, with really low frame rates. You wouldn't believe. It was really hard to make clean laps with full grid. Later I played it with better computers, but by then I already had a new favourite:

F1GP - The original Crammond one. I had it on 386 pc and my friend had it on his Amiga. We did some "hotlapping" where we kept a score on lap records. Huge fun. Wet weather was the thing, it just happened so rarely. But when it did.. wow.

CMR2.0 - I tried the demo and liked it, so I bought it and fell in love with it. First rally game I ever played more than once or twice. Played it with keyboard and quite quickly learned to master it. Only the tarmac in France was pain. Random weather was very nice. Oh, the joy of foggy RAC. However it was clear that those two to three minutes long stages were disappointing in their shortness. The hunger for full-length rallying became huge. I'm still waiting..


Edit:
Didn't forget Stunt Car Racer. Never made higher than Div 2, but spent lots of hours with it. And Stunts.. And SkidMarks.. And...

Pool 5

What can I say.. Started from 5th position The laglap was marvellous, finished the lap in second place. The real start on the other hand.. finished that second last.

Have you noticed that the "well-prepared" race setups never work the same way in practise session as in race? I didn't suffer any damage from the first corners ufr-pinball, but still the car felt really funny for few laps. After that the tires were flaming hot and I had little grip. So, I ended up skidding and running high 44's, which sucks.

Totally satisfied with my hotlap, but really bummed about the race.

Obviously not. I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Does beating myself with birch branches compensate this foul?

UFR - the fifth open wheeler.

Condolances and strength to family and friends.

Anarchy Online.

I tried Enemy Territory and liked it, but at one point it started freezing everytime I joined a game. Should propably re-install it.

Pool 5

I really hate bf1.

That's pretty much all I can say about this event
Started 10th and gained positions while others were spinning. Then I lost a concentration for a millionth of a second and spun. Then some more. It would have been quite nice race, if I hadn't had a brain fart when coming from T1 to the "tight" left before hairpin. I just missed the braking and onto wall I went. This was on lap 15 so I decided to pit then. Original plans were to get some more fuel on lap 18.

Made a terrible mistake when changed all my tires. They were perfectly fine, no wear and correct temp. Then I had those ice cold pieces of wax. More spinning and finally the final spin. I just was exhausted and decided to quit.

Rollo, I'm sorry I hitted you in the early laps. We were coming to the turny - and fast - part of the track, which I have used to drive very fast. Your slowing down and braking there caught me by surprise. I saw you slowing down, but didn't realize that you were braking that much.

One awful thing about these bf1's is the lack of brake lights, or atleast with my graphics setting those can't be seen :P

Well, what is the essence of LFS and could it be reproduced into such limited environment?

Quote from Gunn :

You would judge a person by the texture on they used the front of their virtual helmet in a race sim?

Nah, I'm just bored at work But sorry, I can't rephrase my train of though ts into words right now

Like someone in some other thread said: if I have time to look at graphical gimmicks, then I don't drive fast enough.

I'm with Soro here. Imagination is much more powerful than vision. Helmets bring equality: no-one is judged by their looks but instead of their driving.

Colors and textures of helmets and cars (=skins) don't actually show anything about the driver her/himself. Faces - even if virtual, but still visual - are in much more personal level than the color of helmet.

Black visor brings equality in sense that we're only judged by the edge of our skills or the sharpness of our tongue.

Don't drive so fast

[mumble]Haven't got time to hotlap...[/mumble]

I have no problems with uploading

With the driving on the other hand...

Nice, but shouldn't those be "Guru" cards instead of just "Blackwood"
