Oh, I see. As we all know, cars are definitely different outside of the US. Indeed engine braking will completely stop your car coming up to an intersection with 2 cars stopped ahead, crossing traffic, cars stopped on the other side, and pedestrians and storefronts on the side of you. I had no idea engine braking will stop a car in sufficient time if you have NO hydrolic braking in UK/Europe.

Why have a braking system at all if you can just come to a complete stop with engine braking?

Much better to try to steer your way through all of that rather then using the handbrake to actually attempt to stop.

No, Go learn something. You force downgear to slow the car down.

Quote from March Hare :

There is such a thing as steering too, you know.
Ever heard of engine braking?

Damn you mcgas001, damn you!

lmfao!

Quote from mrodgers :

So, when the main pedal brakes go out, you would rather run straight into something rather than ease on the handbrake?

Id use the engine braking....

Quote from Inouva :

Do that too , for winamp , when the appl you made work with Winamp

You need to wait, Im working on things..

Quote from Ian.H :

You've gotta be shittin' me!? The handbrake is the _last_ think I'd think of using in an emergency when thinking about braking.

That pretty much says it all.

I would like to see a car collision packet added to insim, Dont think its been suggested in this thread. This is what i was thinking.

ye, so when i'm using it i will be able to show everyone my terrible music sense Lol.

OK, ill add that to my list!

Quote from samforey12345 :

I don't mean to have a button for everyone to press. Just if they'rerunning it, then they can report what they're listening too.

OK, So like i said in the previous post? A button to click that shows the song?

Quote from samforey12345 :

I have a small request, not sure if its possible though.. Can you make it so you can 'report to the server what song and artist you are listening too', like a report "/me is listening to [song] - [artist], and you would report with a report button somwhere on the screen. Also, isnt it possible too select all the songs in WMP and make it so you can browse your whole media player?

I cant send buttons to everyone on the server as its only a client side insim app. I could add a little button that when pressed says something like " Is listening to [Artist] - [SongName] ".

As for selecting songs, Im yet to find a way to do that..so atm only playlists.

Scawen: Have you checked to see if thats a bug in Vista? Ive been doing some research after the post in the progammer forum for the last hour or so. There seems to be some issues with other stuff related to chinese with Vista. Im not sure if its possible but have you tried contacting microsoft?

Quote from Falcon140 :

Could be CTRA's next big thing if they could implement it.

Post it in CTRA section, Sam is always happy to take suggestions

Quote from Falcon140 :

That's what I was thinking.

Beauty with insim, is that coding options like showing it or not showing it. Thats a very easy job to do, Same goes for car class's too.

Probley easiest done with insim tbh..

Quote from Scawen :

These days in England students seem to have nice new looking cars because they have huge loans and massive debts, but 18 years ago we used to buy a car for £200 with bad paint, scratches and dents on it and we had to go down to the scrap yard (so called "breakers" but they never seemed to break down the car in those days) regularly and lie under a car in dog poo trying to get parts off another similar banger.

Erm.. Im part of this group still?

1991 Vauxhall Nova - £300

Yes, but dont do it another way. just because your told its better. If you like one way, Do it. Also its a PHP script, If they want it that way they can change it themself.

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

Lol. I thoroughly enjoy these arguments if only because of the different views on horsepower from Europeans. I find it funny when someone calls a 1.8 liter engine BIG and DANGEROUS, when over here a 1.8 liter engine would be considered puny and worthless. My first and current car was 2.5L, and my brothers first car, which is a 1989 Nissan Stanza that looks like a piece of crap, sounds like a piece of crap, and drives like a piece of crap - is a 2.4L engine. We just have entirely different standards here.

Then again, our cars are also bigger and heavier...

Thats because the europeans can produce a lot more power in an engine then the US can . We have no need for 5.7 V8 Chevy rubbish..Get me a 2.5 V6 and ill race you

Quote from Dygear :

Plus with the added disagreement on how to handle packets, I've held off on it. I happen to be in an ambulance as I type this.

You shouldnt worry about the disagreement tbh. Do it how you want to do it, The people that moan wont use it, so ****' em

Theres a reason ive got a £300 Nova for my first car, and now it shines through. Its quite a high % of first drivers that crash there first car these days. Its majority of the time just because of expericence. Not because they are a bad driver.

An insurance company quoted me just under £1000 for insurance on that car, Thats a hell of a lot IMO but i cant do nothing as its a first car. As a lot of people have quoted in this thread, Dont get something stupid for a first car.....

Dygear - Hows the progress going now?
