Its coming upto 1.5 weeks till the entries close
Get yours in for the chance to win the $10us!

Wow christmas came early
Can't wait to download it!

Awesome job Devs

So far we have had 2 really impressive entries,

This is a great opportunity for someone to win some money
Its quick and easy to enter the competition

$10us might not sound like much but you could put it towards a S2 license.

Its my favourite car game of all time, the track choices do offer quite a bit of variety and apart from one or two cars not included in the game I find there is more than ample car choice.

First time I played it my mate showed me the XRT and I was in love

Love at first sight??? Possibly, Love it forever? Most Definitely

I'd say I prefer the LX4 for drifting than the LX4

Great specs you have there,
The only thing i'd change is the ram eventually,
The DDR2 800mhz ram can be a bit slow compared to the rest of your system.

I have had a 3870 video card before too and they are great value, if you were ever considering going crossfire it might be better off to buy a 4850 video card.

Great setup mate
I'd love to see some pictures if you had some

I've found the standard settings for the raceabout really fun to drift. I've been doing a few laps around the autocross car park with no worries.

I love the FZ5 and LX6 for drift.
I've found the LX6 is better suited in smaller tracks such as South city

Its still my first UFGTR skin

What i find strange is that people seem to hate repeat topics (such as drift vs grip) yet they do so well and people get so involved.

Its upto 6 pages so far, and i've found them to be an awesome read!

My opinion on the whole drift vs grip is that it doesn't really matter which you do.

One person COULD be faster at drift than racing and pull a better lap time,

or Vice versa

But the real point is to which one you enjoy more, no one can tell you otherwise.

Speed isn't always everything, play to have fun

Any comments on my more basic but themed UFGTR?

Happy Bday Scawen Hope you have an awesome day!

Its not always the case, there is no reason it has to be like that either.

If you want people to stay active you have to repeat certain questions, and its fun to ask your own questions sometimes. I'd assume that nearly every possible question has been asked quite a few times in the beginner section, but it gives the new people to a forum a chance to ask these questions and introduce themselves.

I'd feel pretty left out if all I did was just search the forum for answers and never get to start any new threads.

I'm from Melbourne, not part of any leagues as yet but I am starting one at some stage for www.polepositiondriver.com

Hows everyones weekend?

Exactly like gezmoor said, If it was a real race, once the person is out or crashed they don't repair everyones car instantly and put them back on the racing line.

Without restarts it promotes drivers to be more careful and plan out their race, with restarts the game feels so much less like a simulator.

I would have one for tommorrow if you'd let me in

I've got a few ideas now thanks heaps
I'll be happy enough to just join in

The one of the platypuses cracked me up haha

Oh if only the future was like that

Is there any rules against using an image from google images for the backgrounds?

Thanks for that,
I might only have 60 posts on here, but I love the game enough to have purchased a s2 license and be actively trying to add some aspect to the game, its how I feel a part of a community. After all, without a community feel we are just typing text to each other.

I wanted to use illustrator to do the curves because in photoshop its quite difficult to get the right curves for the shape.

Is there an easier way to get the merge between the top view texture to the side of the car texture more fluent?

oh no not another Castrol RB4

Already been done before..........try something different & dont follow the crowd

mmmmmm fed up with seeing the same stuff........try using your brain for once people.

Jon

Use my brain? Thats not very nice, here I am trying to join a community and just because I create something thats been done.

I didn't know there was another one, there was 16 pages to search through

People flame other members on this forum even for participating, i'm really dissapointed.

I'd be more than happy with nearly 1 million posts on my forum haha
Even 500,000 would be ample.

The thing is, there is always a different way to ask the question, lots of ways actually which gives different answers.

Remember we are here to discuss things. I have heard from heaps of members being turned away from forums for the "flaming treatment".

If there is an issue the moderators will bring it up, we have a report function on every post to give the moderators an indication of "repeat posts".
The moderators can then take the needed action.

When i first started here (in Oct) I made the usual "drift or race" topic to which the moderators deleted it, it was only because I was passionate about the game that I wrote it before searching. I didn't want to annoy anyone.

There is a porcshe wireless wheel force feedback wheel but from whats available you know you can't go wrong with the g25

They are reliable, comfy and reasonably priced

I'd rather go with something that I know has a good reputation than something that is cheaper or more expensive and may not do the same job.

G25 for the win

I'm wondering how many members are from australia?

I raise my hand

My very faithful Thrustmaster Ferrari F1 wheel just took 30 volts to its circuit, why you say? I'll tell you...

I went to plug in my wheel just before and noticed the steering to be unbelievably tough, I could barely move the wheel.

I thought it might be a driver thing, but then noticed the power connection to the steering wheel was in fact the printer, and to my amazement it gives out 30 volts.

I checked the voltage on the steering wheel power adaptor and it said "12 volts"

I could not believe it, it still works perfectly on the proper 12 volt supply, i would have assumed that the steering wheel would have fried circuits

My funny story for the day

Quote from JasonJ :

But it could honestly be 500,000 instead if people some people did at least little searching first.

That is so true.
Mind you though if this forum had 1/2 the amount of posts then thats half as much time people have been "discussing" live for speed.

There are only so many topics you could bring up, so what happens once they have all been answered lol

Considering the amount of views this forum has, i'm sure the owners would not say no to 500,000 posts (thats a lot of advertising, not to mention views)
