Quote from blackbird04217 :

It shouldn't ask the user to turn the wheel 90* because looking at my wheel it was at perfect 90* and registered 887. After I moved the number to 900, as it should be, it worked a helluva lot better.

I have to agree on that. The first time I tried the 1.1 beta I had a hard time getting the wheel properly set up. I have no clue why it asks the user to turn the wheel 90°, that's retarded IMO. Other than that I can't really think of any other complaints I had. Haven't tried the RC, though.

Pity I don't like openwheelers more.

The OP didn't mention the age of this product

Quote from Thorvertonian :

On your shortcut to the game, add -window to the target so it reads...
"D:\Games\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -window
Or whatever you path to the game is!

That should work

Quote from anttt69 :

ive been trying to get this to run in windowed mode.

-window does not work?

any ideas?

Agalloch - Limbs. Wonderful

Quote from JazzOn :

(...) but anyways, you'll never run out of unlocks - you have 3 every week.

That's not entirely true. As I recall it you get 1 unlock every Friday up to a maximum of 3. So if he's completely out of unlocks now he'll get 1 the day after tomorrow.

As for whether or not he needs to unlock again after a reinstall (overwrite) I can't say. Come to think of it, I've never had to reinstall LFS.

Pfrt, chase view and auto-shift... what an arcade noob




Just kidding

I don't believe any Windows doesn't have that option. You just have to know where to look for it.

Like Blackeye said it's in the Folder options window that you access through the Tools menu. If you don't see a toolbar try pressing the 'ALT' key.

Alright, so I want to get a mouse gesture extension for Chrome but there seem to be quite a few around. Anyone here who has one installed and/or can recommend me one? I just need mouse gestures, no fancy stuff.

Have you got the "view hidden files" option ticked? Just guessing here as I don't have the game

Quote from DarkTimes :

I said to an American friend earlier to imagine Air Force 1 coming down, as that's the level of devastation the country is experiencing. Terrible, tragic and sorrowful.

This is not quite the same, as like w126 pointed out it wasn't the "reigning" president that was killed in the plane crash.

Quote from w126 :

The current government having the leading role in ruling the country is almost not affected by this. The prime minister and 'full' ministers were not on the plane.

Have you tried this (first post)?

Quote from Amynue :

132 VIPs, including the most important - president.

I understand they were all very important people but still... ~3000 vs. 132? I also understand that for you this is a lot worse than 9/11 as it's much closer to where you live. I'm just sayin'... most Americans will probably not agree with your statement

Quote from Amynue :

And 9/11 wasn't an accident.

That doesn't make it any less tragic. If anything it makes it more tragic.

Quote from Amynue :

That's even worse than 9/11

Don't you think you may be slightly exaggerating here? ~3000 people killed vs. 132 people killed...

@AndRand, that's why I thought this was a bit "fishy" as well but it's no good speculating about this kind of stuff. It may very well have been "just" a plane crash and if there was more to it we probably will never know for sure

Quote from MadCatX :

BTW, why don't you just try all of these things yourself rather than asking us if they are present or not and discuss your findings with us?

Because he doesn't have a clutch pedal

Quote from Osco :

sure this was an accident? :hide:

That was my first thought You can't be sure of anything these days.

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

(...) in my first team DeadMenRacing, I met many of the people that proved to be the finest elements of what this Simulator delivers, Fun respectful and fierce racing, with the moments of "doh" thrown in for all. (...)

Just picking out this part of your post because it confirms what I stated right above you and I have a feeling most people are not going to read all of your post

I know I'm repeating myself here - and that hardly anyone will pay attention to this - but...


Dead Men Racing. Public server with admins online daily, busiest between 7pm and ~10pm GMT. Racing is as clean as you're likely to find, all mature and fair and very friendly people. Combo's change weekly with a 1hr race on Thursday nights. Even though I don't race LFS myself anymore I still think dMr is one of the best places to race if you're looking for fair and fun pickup racing and don't care about some ranking or licensing system. dMr is proof that it is possible to run a fairly popular public server successfully and keep crashers and the like out for many years. Of course, you won't see the numbers of drivers there that you see on IHR, for example, but the racing is infinitely cleaner and more fun.

Quote from pandera :

well, of course it is not every time, but it is at least as often to get hit as not to get hit if you are not in the first 2 rows and when you are at some random server that you just decide to try out because there are some 9 or 10 connections... and I do not have that much time to waste 50% of it... that's exaclly why CTRA was so popular
I didn't try to go public for quite a while, I simply prefer to race with my friends instead

Dead Men Racing. Racing is as clean as it's like to get, all very friendly and helpful people and a different combo every week with a 1 hour race on Thursday evenings.

Quote from Krammeh :

I actually have a copy of the CTRA database as i was given it by SamH way back when. I was planning on releasing a similar system and give the ability for people to 'continue their CTRA career'.

I figured it would no longer work due to the large amount of race servers that are running ario or whatever that mod is called.

You all think its something that I should work on? Could probably get a BETA version up within a couple of weeks.

Let me know your thoughts.

I wouldn't bother if I were you. It will probably cost you a lot of time and effort to get it working and I reckon it will never be anywhere near as successful as the original CTRA was

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

My suggestion steer well clear of S1 and buy S2.

Seeing as he asked the question 2 weeks ago and he still hasn't bought a license I think he isn't convinced yet

Quote from Chrisuu's sig :

The picture in my avatar was made by me if u want it you can contact me.

...or... they can just rightclick your avatar and save it to their computer? It doesn't surprise me that it was made by you, by the way, as there's a spelling mistake in it

Quote from Scawen :

well I guess that means there must be a whole lot of sims out there that have overtaken LFS in nearly every way.

Correct Why all these people are waiting for a track and a few cars I don't know, LFS will never catch up with the competition

Need the funds, and the bike hasn't been used for over a year.

Aww, that's too bad. That's a great bike. I reckon it shouldn't take you long to sell it at that price!

Hmm, funnily enough this issue (political correctness and people going out of their way to not be offensive) was brought up on another forum I'm on just recently. Two interesting posts from that thread:

Quote :

Am I the only one fed up by the BS known as political correctness? Funny, I was just thinking about this the other day at work when I was calling myself a retard for something stupid I did, and a few people (jokingly, because they're as un-PC as me) said "No no no...you're just mentally challenged!" Seriously, is "mentally challenged" really any better than retarded? If someone's looking at you and calling you "mentally challenged", you know in your head they're saying you're an f-ing retard.

I happened to come across two articles today:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl1101
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel ... y-lacks-diversity-578862/

Seriously? I'm sick of the whole having to include minorities in everything too. Screw that. I'd be curious to see, but I bet most of Vanity Fair's readers are white women (and creepy white men). If some magazine focused towards black people or asians, or whatever wanted to make some "up and coming" list full of just black people, does it really matter?

I'm not arguing that people shouldn't be racially sensitive or anything like that - I'm aware of bad things in history and all that, things that will never go away. But seriously, there's such a thing as over sensitivity, and being overly correct (read - fake). And I hate when you know people are just exploiting things for political gain.

Quote :

Out of all the things that piss me off about modern society (and believe me, there are a lot), political correctness is near the top. I like to think of it as "pussification". People are so damn worried about being offensive that it's ridiculous. Simple descriptive terms have become derogatory. No one is crippled anymore, and even the handicapped are disappearing, replaced by all of those "disabled" people. Hell, I can assure you that if I eat too much spicy food, I'll be "disabled" the next morning for a while. I'm not gonna get a damn license plate that lets me park closer to the store though. Old people are now elderly, or even worse, senior citizens (yeah it's widely used but I still don't ****ing like it). Somehow an age-indicative word has become a derogatory term. Mentally softening the blow is not going to make you live longer. Or bathroom. I use the ****ing bathroom. I don't use the restroom or lavatory, and I sure as hell don't "utilize the facilities". No matter how you try to disguise it, you're still gonna go take a big nasty shit, and everyone knows. There's no reason to be a prudish tool about it. People used to be insane or crazy, now they're psychologically unstable or mentally imbalanced. That doesn't sound very dangerous does it? Maybe they'll be allowed d to use metal utensils in the cafeteria.

The race thing...God damn... I give a big resounding **** YOU to the minorities who are whiny little bitches and think that the country owes them something just because of their color or race. One thing that irritates me to no end is that minorities can talk all the shit that they want about white people, but when a white person says something derogatory towards minorities, they get chastised for it. The minorities (it's the blacks and latinos that especially piss me off) that fit into a negative stereotype SHOULD be allowed to be called out if they deserve it. Sure, whitey runs the world and is always trying to keep minorities down as they say, but visiting the inner city makes me think that whitey is not trying hard enough. Just from a comedic perspective, these people are hilarious. Say anything about them though, and OH NOES you're a racist. I love the all-white-chick magazine cover. It's a great cock punch to political correctness. On a semi-related note, I love the newer McDonald's commercials that cater to the ghetto. I'm sure the PC fat white guys who do McDonald's' ads have no idea that they are inadvertently mocking. Yeah...I'm lovin' it. One more thing I feel like adding: as Selpp said, it would be possible to make a list of up-and-coming black stars, but then I bet black people would get upset because it makes it look like they don't deserve to be among the white chicks, or that an all-black list is segregation. It just never ends and you really can't please the people who are moronic enough to think this way.

Play rFactor The Bathurst track for that is pretty good. Definitely a blast in night races.
