I don't think Formula BMW was around before I was born. And I don't think GTRemix is even a real race series, let alone around before I was born.

To everyone who doesn't like the current situation - leave then. Why are you still here if LFS is unfixable, unfair, undeveloped and as bad as you make out. Moaning won't speed things up. It won't make the end result better. It doesn't make the world a better place, or enable you to sleep any better. Keep quiet and wait, or leave. You know the situation, and surely you know it won't make a blind bit of difference.

Kinda hard to wait patiently when the devs tell you something will be released by the end of the week, then they say in a few months, now it's one and half f*cking years later, and no update at all. People like you are the reason these threads get closed, you come in here and do the usual "Stop complaining about the new patch, I'm gonna kiss the dev's asses by supporting their way too damn long development rate, and not agreeing with everyone that's pissed off about it." Lay off already, and gtfo.

You're right, it isn't a Kia.

Hello, LFSERS! After a long break and reconsideration of our direction, AW has decided to start recruiting again! We will be forming several groups of serious drivers to represent us in leagues. As of now, our focus will be on recruiting open wheel drivers. On Friday, February 5th we will be having tryouts for open wheelers. Basically, there will be two sessions to fit both US and UK/AU time zones, but drivers may join either session regardless of where you're from, we are doing two sessions just for convenience. The first session will be at 7:00pm Central Standard Time (Time Zone is GMT -06:00). The second session will be at 7pm Sydney, AU time (Time Zone is GMT +10:00). Both sessions will be held at the (AW)ProFox server. The format will be open-practice on a variety of tracks so we can evaluate drivers on different track-types. The things we will be evaluating will be:
-Clean/respectful driving (this is an absolute must)
-Tire Management
-Consistency
-Ability to drive safely in traffic
-Accident avoidance
-Awareness (paying attention to admin instructions)

During the course of these sessions, we may ask you to do different things such as group up with other drivers, run X amount of laps on a single set of tires, run a hot-lap, things like that. We may also at times put barriers on the track to test your situational awareness. We also may drive in front of you erratically to test your crash/damaged car avoidance.

All that being said, we plan on having a lot of fun with this, and that is the most important thing here. If you are not interested in joining AW, you are still welcome to show up and enjoy yourself, just make sure you let the admins know ahead of time what your plans are, and make sure you pay attention to what they are trying to accomplish with other drivers at all times. It would help us greatly if you would post here and let us know if/which session you plan to attend, but it is not required. I have posted a GMT map below for those who need it. See you at the track!

*blah blah*

That being said, if you would like to volunteer to be a "pack driver" , somebody to cleanly (but not TOO clean) race against the people testing, feel free to do so.

Hawker Typhoon

Although it was designed as a medium/high altitude interceptor, was better suited as a fighter-bomber. Love that huge ass intake under the nose.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I said they were a bad plane, which they were, taking bombers down (that generally have 2 + engines and are far less maneuverable) means jack, it shows that it's not good as a Fighter and only an Interceptor, that is why I mentioned it, because you said it was a good plane, when in reality, it wasn't, it couldn't forfil its real purpose which was to be as a fighter, the Bf110 was a far more effective plane as an interceptor (which wasn't its designed purpose) and that had two Jumo(BMW) V12s and thus was far less maneuverable indeed.. What saves the Hurricane was it's armements which really has nothing to do with how good it is, the Spitfires had the same cannons as the Hurricane, so it really does show how crap the Hurricane was, it was probably the pilots who flew it that just got the most out of it.

That's why the hurricane had the most kills in the battle of Britain? The sturdy wings made it very reliable , but it's construction made it vulnerable to catching fire.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Do you see my point? A human might be good at killing things, but if it can't reproduce then it can't be a good example of a human can it?

So planes have to be able to reproduce to be successful? I'm afraid I can't see your point.

Quote from MAGGOT :

The B-17 and Lancaster bombers hold a special place for me, as my grandfather flew both in WWII. I'll fall into the category loving Spitfires and Mustangs, too, and further into the cliche territory with the F-14 (perticularly in Jolly Rogers colours...)

Admittedly I know next to nothing about aircraft, but I love nose kanards and forward-swept wings. Don't know specifically which craft sport those details, though.

I'm kinda partial to USAF planes since I'm joining the air force xD (with exception to the F/A-18).

Quote from morpha :

Hist point was, how did the pedal get so far "back" in the first place? Valid question actually.

It doesn't matter how far back you push it, if it wears over time like these pedals are, then they will get stuck, simple as that.

Quote from pinoykid13 :

i don't understand how the guy crashed his car to begin with. i mean did he floor the pedal to accelerate fast? then the pedal got stuck?

as I said before, the pedals wear over time, and can get jammed in their position.

Quote from Shotglass :

So apparently Toyota are recalling quite a few cars because there's a freak chance the floormats might get tangled up in the pedals and jam the throttle open.

The big recall that is happening currently is totally unrelated to the floormat issues that some Toyota models are having. The major recall is for accelerator pedals that get excessive wear over time and start taking longer to return to their natural position, and eventually just get stuck. The floormat problem is another issue they are having (although a hell of alot easier/cheaper to fix). My brother drives an '07 Tacoma, and had the floormat problem.
