Quote from Velociround :

This is in-game really, you can do absolutely the same thing when playing . It even seems like there's no air already because you can turn the plane wherever you want to without any resistance, it's called "drift" (or "draft", I don't remember now) on the tutorial

They called it a drift. Very inappropriate term for an aircraft maneuver. High-alpha (high-angle of attack) sounds way better.

I think these planes are Star Wars crafts disguised in the modern jet fighter bodywork...

Quote from Luke.S :

That is actually a real move. It is called the cobra and IIRC the SU-37 is the only plane which can do it.

How about the extremely small radius "u-turn" executed in less than 1 sec that generates around 100 instantaneous g's in the Maneuvers Trailer? The plane didn't even lose much speed... Search that in youtube... its uber-unrealistic.

Quote from Speed Soro :

Everybody agree that LFS is the best handling, the best feeling, the more easy one-click-to-race, and so on, but nobody is playing it.

If 'nobody' is playing LFS, can you please explain this?

Research before you state something... and cite your source... otherwise you'd sound like a fool.

Try using the ACU pattern. I think the color looks less sick.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Ace mod 1.02 was released and it seems like it's great, still downloading.

Another underrated game I spent years on (as a mod and alter as retail) Red Orchestra

I got it... AWESOME STUFF

Operation Flashpoint 2, anyone (not released though.)? Seems overhyped. I saw the leaked gameplay footages and they look like Call of Duty clones instead of an OFP game. Guess I'll stick with ArmA.

ArmA (Armed Assault) + 1.15 patch + A.C.E. mod.
ArmA 2's coming out soon though

Quote from el pibe :

there is a message that appears and it says '' Couldn't initialize the graphics ''.

Happens to me once in a while, but I manage to fix the problem by simply restarting the computer. You've just wasted your time reinstalling.

Quote from gezmoor :

CF whilst stiffer and stronger (tensile) than a lot of metals is actually quite brittle. This means it will tend to shatter/snap rather than bend.

Just what I needed! thanks XD

Hi,

I need some info about carbon fiber use on Formula 1 cars. I know that they are lighter, stronger, and stiffer than steel. What I want to know is... during a crash, do they just simply break away into small pieces instead of bending?

Quote from Gills4life :

I reckon it would be possible to drive a real car with a pad and I am sure we have the technology to do it. It has probably already been done.

Top Gear did it XD

Its not a gamepad... but its an R/C remote

Quote from JJ72 :

the renault did a good job distracting the viewers with an even uglier livery. heh

The "TOTAL" sticker on the front wing reminds me of the Peugeot 206 WRC car for some reason... maybe because it's red.

William's FW-31




I miss their 06' livery

Quote from shortay1325 :

Alright, also i have been trying to find a estimated date when S3 is coming out, All those things in that Suggest list thing, are those things coming out later on in S2 or S3?

Nobody has a clue about "those things". Only the devs know.

Quote from Mattesa :

What are you getting upset about anyway? Are they wrong for criticizing GT5 letting a F1 car get air like that?

BTW, can the F1 in LFS jump with reasonable downforce settings? Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite.

Yes.. but it makes a hard landing, which damages the suspensions. In that GT5P video, it landed as nothing has happened. Its got a friggin soft suspension as well... reminds me of a dirt BUGGY O_O

Quote from bunder9999 :

i've tried lauching cars around in gt4 before... i think they also have a binding box above the cars... and/or some sort of mechanism that prevents the car from going upside down.

Cars still can't go upside down in GT5P, which to me is a major dissapointment. In my opinion, its a huge handicap because cars with a high CoG should tip and roll over like the XF when turning at extremely high speed. I think it will be great for its rally stages... because it will force players to be more careful on the jumps (like in RBR)... but oh well I guess GT isn't going to be a full fledged driving sim.

Quote from Ikaponthus :

First of all, you're misunderstanding wildly.

Secondly, I think if any air did get under an F1 car it probably would fly (haven't watched the youtube video btw). It's wings would act like aeroplane wings. Have you ever seen those Le Mans cars flip when they get a bit of air under them?

You have to watch it. Let me make it clear... the car DIDN'T fly. As I said, it jumped and landed softly like a buggy... It just seemed so wrong. Its an F1, for christ's sake... not an offroad vehicle.

Hey, at least LFS uses a reasonable barrier (a wooden fence). GP5P uses a piece of cloth :S

Quote from zeugnimod :

2:30 is even better. From outside view.

OMFG... You're right :O

Add: I won't call GT realistic... if you can't drive that damn F1 off the cliff, since theres nothing but a strip of cloth (?) to prevent cars from going off the track. Sometimes, theres an invisible forcefield blocking your car :S weird.

I won't say GT5P is realistic until they fix this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D21sPwj5nI (1:27 - 1:33)

Modern F1 + mountain course + jump. wtf.

I entered a 200ms server today and didn't even experience jumping cars. Ping has nothing to do with lag. A guy on another thread proved this. (finding thread)

The Ramones... Anti-Flag's pretty good too... but still not as good as Ramones.

I recommend a 7600GT, if you're only going to stick with LFS only, or a 8600GT, if you're going to play new games with fancy post-processing effects.

How much are you willing to spend for an upgrade?

Here's a tech trailer of VBS2 (Virtual Battlespace 2) the military version of ArmA.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJRpegpzO9o

ArmA is basically a civillian version of VBS2, so it doesn't contain all of the features in that video. Comparing ArmA with other mainstream games, its bloody realistic. It does get sort of frustrating, since it is recommended that you know a bit of military tactics. ArmA II is coming out in early 2009 though... so you could just wait and buy that instead. Now.. talking about its multiplayer... It has around 50 to 100 servers in the list from what I remember (been playing single player these days) with a large percentage of the players being ex-military.

Oh, and you MUST patch the game to at least version 1.05 (although the latest is 1.15 BETA). Version 1.00 is almost unplayable due to the insane amount of bugs... but its possible that Steam offers the version 1.08. A.C.E. mod is a must as well

Why don't you PM (private message) me instead? That will be much more convenient, since I never check my email
