Great games....

That dont get much publicity/notice they deserve. Im talking about games you guys enjoy but many others may not know about. For instance Lfs is not as popular as say NFS but in terms of gameplay, it is much better, and the racing, especially online, is great. Also games/simulators that have great physics and gameplay, that really dont get recognised in the way they should. What games do you enjoy, or have great physics/gameplay that you think didnt get the credit or notice that they deserved.

great news, however i cant see it being as special next year as it was back then, nice to see a few manufacturers getting back to business. Hopefully a few more manufacturers will follow suit, like toyota or honda or maybe even alfa romeo, that would really make for some interesting racing, shame most of the cars are hatch backs, saloons definatly provided better racing

Quote from trebor901 :They need to do something otherwise WRC is gonna die like F1 has.

What are you talking about f1 has been more exciting the past few year since the turn of the decade, the racing and points tallies are a lot closer, just hope the new regs dont ruin the racing, the first motorsport to "die" as you put it was the btcc in which only 2 manufacturing companies are competing the rest being privatly owned teams.

Rallying is on the brink of "dying" because of the subaru and suzuki teams pulling out (mitsubishi and peugot a few years ago aswell) this is why the new regs are being put into place, so more teams can run more cars as they will be cheaper to buy and run.

the pilot needs a round of applaus at least, how common is it that planes hit flocks of birds and crash as a result though :S.

Could have been much worse, thankfully it wasnt

Quote from bbman :Someone once said it's the diff locking up - whatever that means...

probably the diff locking, which means the drive shaft will also lock causing the engine to stall, if the wheels are locked, this is with the clutch not engaged

Quote from SamH :Hmm.. maybe it's an over-reaction on my part after misunderstanding the context of kirmy's post, after reading a bunch more spam in this thread - and then adding my own

apology accepted

quick question for scawen though, just wondering what "optimisation" you made to have a funny effect with the graphics cards?

just a question about braking, have all cars had something done to their braking, because before the patch when i fully applied the brakes in the FXR and locked up the engine didnt lose revs and stall almost, or did it happen, i cant remember, but in the new patch i noticed it immediatly, new features of braking ?

Quote from Furiously-Fast :Even for me being a PS3 fanboy, that was kinda harsh to Xbox players.

Here is my opinion: Yes, the Ps3 is good. Short, simple and sweet.

ye it just got annoying how it broke every couple of months, i cant see how the xbox is better than the ps3

never ever touch a 360, even if they are dirt cheap, they have more problems than is worth bothering with, the ps3 is quieter, more reliable, has a blue ray player, has better graphics (supposedly), and you dont even have to fork out for batteries on the pad

i was conned into buying a 360, the promise of hd gaming at almost half the price of a ps3, however, since the day i bought it, it scratched my games, it was so noisy i had to turn the volume up on my tv, eventually it wouldnt read any of my games, even the ones in pristine condition
(which was most of them), after it was replaced with a brand new syste, it only took 4 months to rrod. I then bought my ps3 and never looked back

ps3 for me definatly

well i have just been to the everton v middlesboro match, and to be quite honest neither of the teams particularly impressed me, i thought Tim cahill was dirty and was gettin frustrated to easily to make any impact on the game, and nobody could really seem to get hold of the ball and do anything. Despite this the match was a pretty good game for neutrals like me

Quote from The Moose :Good call! Have you got tonights lottery numbers pls


Should have been at least 4-1, how many easy goals did we miss? If we can start converting a lot more of the chances we are creating then we would genuinely have a shot at the title.
Carry on missing easy opportunities and we'll have a few more results like the league game against Tottenham and blow it.

I really admire Robbie Keane, he was fantastic for Spurs..but he need to justify his price tag by scoring more goals for us. He's missed an awful lot of sitters this season.

lets hope so boys, any predictions for where the reds will finish this season

Quote from Willem Moolenaar :I had something similar. Also on Conedodger server with AS National. I came on the server and one of the [CD] guys was angry at somebody for pushing him off the track. They settled it with words, after which another [CD] guy said "no ban?" As if he regularly banned people.

Next race i accidentally nudged him just the slightest and he was backwards forwards on the track. Within a few seconds I was banned for a day (no vote).

This happens ALL the time on servers. I've gotten used to it. If one of the "clanned" drivers hit you, you're lucky to get a sorry, but even looking at them can get you banned.

In my opinion this is really hurting the online community and making LFS look bad.

Again, I'm not complaining. It just happens and I've gotten used to it. But it's certainly not fair.

the conedodging guys have been doing this alot lately, must be some kind of monthly thing, but hopefully they will soon realise what they are doing to their servers and stop doing it, i too have been banned for tapping someone after a race (and i mean tapping, on the grass secton just after start-finish on as3)

hopefully they will see the light soon
