Quote from S14 DRIFT :Can't speak for myself obviously but apparently the "Fleshlights" as they are called are very good... :o

But then again, people that play WOW would need a fake one. They don't understand the concept of Women.

*awaits flaming*

I'm hopeless at woman and wow! I think its one of lerts' paradox.

Quote from ponczak :ok, but if we won't get new patch in this month, you'll eat your shoes. what do you think about this bet?
(no offence, just joking)

In reply to the link in your signature - you say no other sim has the same developer-customer relationship?

Yeah well find me another sim that is made completely from scratch by three people, devoting their lives to keeping us happy.

Maybe you lot should be a little more thankful for what they've made so far.

If Scawen is taking his time, it means he's doing a proper job. Not just some silly bodge 'here you go now shut up' job. He clearly doesn't care about all you whining, so doing it does nothing but annoy the sane minded people around here.

Quote from Gil07 :I haven't checked the replay, but using wallriding to gain an advantage is cheating in my book...

It is cheating but I was thinking on more of the large scale, the other 21 of his world records can't all be done using the same wall glitch - he's still a bloody fast racer!

I wouldn't go as far as calling him a damn cheater - he's almost got the most WR's out of everyone so I don't hesitate in saying he could probably beat my time if he had another go.

Thanks though!

She did two good things - quite big good things - she massively raised awareness for cancer (probably not in the way she wanted to) and she raised a lot of money to give her kids a good chance in life.

Void this topic, just done a lap 0.01 faster. This was followed by lots of 'COME ON' and 'YESS!!!!!'

I'm very sweaty.

Quote from DevilDare :If HLVC did not count that as Invalid, its abolutely legit/fine.

I always thought there was a bug on that part of South City though, where the HLVC doesn't register. I've not tried it properly but remembering from laps I've done on that combo you can hit the wall pretty hard without HLVC picking it up, whereas on the exit to turn 2 (the right hand part) if you even tap the wall very slightly it invalids the whole lap.

Edit: I giggled in my mind Gil.
Who's Line (WR) is it anyway?

Howdy,

I'm not really a hotlapper - but I've been driving this BF1/SO2R Combo for about a week now going pretty insane trying to beat the WR.

The other day I matched the WR, split for split - and thought i'd take a quick peek on the hotlap analyser to see where I could be faster. Turns out that the current WR includes a wall hit - on one of the last turns. Watching it back on the replay and looking at the way the car moves from the top down view its clear that it gives him an advantage, slowing him down and nudging the front end towards the turn in of the final corner.

http://www.lfsworld.net/rafa/? ... mcintyrej_SO2R_BF1_037350

Take a look - I thought that all wall hits automatically meant it was HLVC-Invalid anyway?

Just a bit peed that I spent so long trying to be fast and I can't beat a wall bounce.

Quote from brt900 :my kick was being discussed because of open wheel trophy and they said take ppd out of my name so i changed it to ddp and then they kicke dme for being smart

I can see why they kicked you.

Organising a league isn't a "simple" thing to do. Its very stressful trying to organise people and when a smart ass comes along and tries to take the p*ss most of the time the admins don't really have any sympathy left.

They wanted pdd out of your name so it was in league format, not just for fun.

Edit: That posterize thing is hideous.

I think if you judge a racing simulator on the opening sequence movie then I guess your statement is true - a nice intro movie would be good.

But in my opinion there are far more important things to be improved with the game play and graphical aspects of the game - I hope I'm correct in saying that the developers should feel the same way.

If you've got the money to buy a Supra as a 15 year old then I say go for it mate - sounds like you have a passion for them - just don't bin it!

Vinny, I've hope you learnt a lesson in life. If something is too good to be true - it is.

Instruments
Singing - 28 years
Guitar - 12 years
Drums - 17 years
Keyboards - 20 years
Also do a bit of harmonica and I'll have a go at anything

Hardware
Wireless Shure SM58
Wired Shure SM58
Marshall VS102R

I use Cakewalk 9 because I don't have a MIDI setup at home and the Piano Roll is really good for dragging and dropping notes.
CoolEdit Pro 2

Website
AlbanyDown.com of course

Misc
There is an Albany Down thread on here with all of our gigs posted, so not much point me posting any more here.

Bit of a thread bump but just listened to some of your stuff on your band's side - its pretty amazing live stuff man! Certainly better than a lot of live tripe I've heard from mainstream bands these days!

Oh and what are those Shure mic's like? I've been thinking about getting one for general guitar recording and then when I'm not using it for that just hooked up to my mic as a skype/communicating thing.

Your processor is already at a really good speed, with really good temperatures. Aside from the 'cool' factor (no pun intended), there isn't really a practical use for water in your system - I don't think.

I'm still behind the theory that the FXO is too fast. 12 laps into the 14 lap feature race one of the FXO's set a lap time .2 slower than the XRT World Record. None of the XRT's got near that pace even in the sprint race, on better tyres.

If your a newbie to DSLR's then I recommend you stick to your sports setting (the dial on the top of the camera, probably a strange shaped stick man running)

Also read the manual, when I first got my DSLR I had no clue what to do but a 20 minute read of the manual taught me all the technical stuff like changing lenses, what aperture is, how to focus properly.

Once you've learnt the basics just do a google search on sports photography tips, you'll get lots of pages teaching you how to do things like pre-focus (where you focus on a bit of the track manually, then when the car goes past it you take the shot - this way you don't need to mess around with the relatively slow focus of the lenses you have. (When I say slow, this is compared to the Canon Professional USM series - which are pretty close to instant in good lighting))

Hope that helps.

Quote from mr grady :amazing

jens drove a stormer, not enough brundle to listen to imo, LFS style wreck at the end, and a 1-2 for the ex BAR team (see an earlier post of mine for that one)

loved ross giving rubins some ear ache "slow down ffs!"

bladder stayed the distance, advert breaks? gone gone gone.......hooray!

more please from Brawn GP plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

No adverts was unreal, every time the commentators piped down I expected 'DUNNNNNNNNNNN DUNNNNNN DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' and some shampoo adverts to come up.

Quote from evilgeek :feh. after all the controversy and pentalties last year, all the big teams were very careful to follow the rules in the design of their new cars, but a bunch of the lesser teams were allowed to exploit a loop hole in the rules.

i'm sure that all the teams who don't have one will develop one soon (except red bull, who can't because of their rear suspension design), but it's still quite obvious that the FIA fixed this race in order to generate more interest. let's face it, the general public was bored by the ferrari vs mclaren rivalry, and the FIA wanted to spice things up.

Lets face it - your team lost one race and you need some retarded theory to keep yourself happy.

Its the first race of the season - you can't expect form like last year.

Quote from evilgeek :FIA MAKE ME SICK!!

unbelievable the defusers of brawn and co were not disallowed.
They're not illegal, do your homework.

unbelievable barrichello was not penalized for the T1 crash.
Not really - Driver error/Racing incident - I guess if you were in charge the whole year would again be plagued by silly penalties for anyone trying to race, instead of driving around a track in formation.

unbelievable bungling of the safety car after nakajima's crash (should have come out 2 laps sooner).
True, ish.

the only explanation is that FIA figured that by handing the race to Brawn they could generate more interest/coverage/money.
I take it your a Ferrari guy?

Cool.

'Grats Brawn! Button flawless all race - Damn me for changing my fuel on Race Manager to Ferrari!

If minor wall hits used to be removed from WR list, check out BF1 @ SO2R - there's a wall hit at the final corner of the lap, slows the car down considerably.

Weheeeeeeyyyyyy!

Finally Button has a decent set of wheels under him to show what he can really do.

When the team were told they had to dig deep for the Australian GP, They took it the wrong way.
