Ok, recieved GPL today. Now let the fun begin..

Not if the joke that is the 360 force feedback wheel is anything to go by.. The original SWFF wheel was great though, had one myself before the g25..
Looks like he did more than mount the pedals the other way up. He has swapped the position of the clutch and accelerator as well, including making new metal pedal bases. Amazing stuff.
My Specs:
AMD Athon 64 X2 3800+
2GB DDR2 RAM (4x512)
400 GB HDD (2x SATA)
Sound Blaster X-Fi (used for audio production mainly)
Radeon X1950 Pro 256mb
Logitech G25
Runs LFS at 1440x900 with full settings and full AA/AF at approx 150fps average. Am curious as to how it will handle newer games though, especially Bioshock..

I'm just curious as to whether my PC will run it at a decent lick. If it does I'll probably buy it. The likes of system shock and deus ex couldn't be evaluated properly by a 20min demo, so I doubt this can either.
Hi all, once again thanks for all the great advice in this thread. I have scoured Sheffield for a retail copy of the game but it is nowhere to be found, so I have bought it online this morning.
From what you have said I can't wait to give it a go..

Unfortunately the days of PC exclusive games are all but over. Thanks to piracy, the comparatively low PC user base compared to consoles, and the cost of producing games these days all big titles are going multi-platform.

Ok, heres another one. This time i've outdone myself with the shoddyness of the drawing...
In the UFR you have to drive smoothly in order to save the tyres, and as smoothness usually equals speed I have found it useful for practicing in.
Well, the default key for the pit speed limiter is L, if thats what you mean?
Indeed. Also Marathon is a far better name for a chocolate bar than Snickers...
I'm no skin maker, but have a couple of ideas on what the skin could contain.
As the side of the car is what someone following the drifter sees most of the time, it should contain a slogan, like:-
''Those who can, RACE. Those who can't, drift''
Also, I think there should be a large arrow covering the bonnet and roof of the car, pointing from the rear to the front, pointing directly forwards. Next to the arrow it should say something like:_
''This way round''.
Just a few ideas. BTW I have nothing against drifters, its just not my cup of tea. Different strokes and all that.

Lol! I do like Twix, but they give me raging toothache. Nothing else does however. Just Twix. The mid boggles.
The dipping issue here isn't really about absorbtion. It comes down to the fact that warm, melted chocolate is always more appealing than its cold, set counterpart. Thats why it is always tempting to dip your head in a chocolate fondue, for example.
What the Wispa does is allow you the pleasure of melted chocolate, whilst having the structural integrity that it won't all disappear into your drink.

Unfortunately not sure how to do this, but the Redline Racing Servers operate an InSim app that works exactly how you described. Perhaps it is worth contacting one of their admins?

)I hear ya, I hate it when its too hot as well. Unfortunately I like to play a round of golf now and again, but cannot stand playing in the rain.
I'll take ANYTHING other than rain. Wind, overcast, cloud, fog, sun, mild frost even. Just not solid rain for 6 sodding weeks! (or snow, though I'm not ruling that out yet :razz

Therein lies the genius behind the Wispa. A normal dairy milk or galaxy, is of course 'as absorbent as a lego brick'. But that is where the bubbles in a wispa come in!
I bet you never thought there was such a thing as a Wispa fanboy?!
Its all about the 'texture'. Plus I seem to remember that the thicker chocolate on the outside made them suitable for dipping into hot drinks, a feat the Aero could never achieve..
I don't know what frustrates me more, the fact that the UK has somehow skipped a season, or the fact that I am now more aware that the sun is more than just a mythical object in some countries..

Good point that I overlooked. I still have my PC set up as a dual boot, gaming on XP and dvd's/browsing etc in Vista. I think I'll need to wait at least until Vista SP 1 before I can get rid of XP completely.
Personally, if I had a budget that large I would be looking at a Core 2 Duo processor rather than an AMD. They are around the same price, offer better performance and are easily overclockable.
So I suppose my answer would have to be 'none of the above'.

Wish that things were like they used to be (chocolate wise..)?
Well, it seems like your prayers have been answered. After high public demand, the long awaited and anticipated return of the Wispa bar is upon us!

After having things his own way for years, it seems Mr Aero is now quaking in his boots...
