Got my first win tonight.
Started from 2nd slot, kept my position throughout the race and passed Drunken Predator on last lap after the last corner. Teh backmarkers keep causing mayhem though.
Haven't purchased any additional time or content so far.
EDIT: Hadn't remembered how bad my G25 wheel stinks after sitting in a closet for a month or two.
EDIT: The wheel was in the closet, not me.
EDIT: I came out ages ago and went back after I noticed how much the outside world sucked.
EDIT: Anyone on the 20 P.M. GMT race in 12 minutes?

Lost interest in LFS for good/for a while/until something big comes along but here's my 0.12 Finnish markkas (2 cents).
Recording engine revs:
VERY expensive to do properly. You'd need many mics - both dynamic and small diaphragm condensers placed at various distances (dynamic up close, possibly stereo mic set in driver's head position and possibly LDC or two for ambience). Impossible to on a highway as road and wind noise would come through. Even on a dyno you'd possibly encounter unwanted reflections from the walls.
Does LFS have enviromental audio effects? It does have cockpit muffling (?) slider in the engine sound editor but as far as I remember it acts like a soft low-pass filter. Could a VST-based impulse reverb used? That way you could create impulses from real-life car interiors (race cars vs. road cars... open wheelers do not apply!
) to make very immersive in-car audio enviroment.
What LFS really needs is lots more ambience, chassis and suspension clanks, tyre well rattle from small rocks, seatbelt suffle and various creeks and dings that should make you feel like the car is about the crumble to pieces when you plow through the chicane curbs before your wheels fall off eventually.

I can't read Bulgarian and I couldn't understand any of those translations so my logic says they work perfectly.
Red Orchestra is teh shiznits! 
USB-powered Fleshlight to remind how you could have spent the money?
Guess it pretty much drives exactly like an FZR?
I kinda liked the somewhat unusual (and super bouncy) suspension we used in the beginning.

Also there has been 'You got Xfire? threads in OT. Somewhat relevant.

130 laps of concentrated boredom and gives us absolutely zero useful feedback.
DX-lenses have been optimized for DX-sensors (APS-size). Disadvantages? You get black corners on a full-frame sensor.
Anywhoo...
Some action shots now. My friend asked me to snap some photos on their small festival gig. Sunny summer evening, sexy girls, stoner rock and Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers...
Strait outta Compto--- camera.

Set it on fire and walk away?
Some thoughts:
The new 'easier' setup restrictions were slightly disappointing.
The gearing really sucks for Blackwood. Especially the last two corners are deal breakers for me so I switched from full H-gate & clutch pedal to flappy paddles with auto clutch. The results? Nearly a sec off from my PB on 2nd lap with racing fuel on board.
But then again maybe I just suck.
