That doesn't happen to me with both vsync on and off.

Same here.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Seriously, does Plato know any other way to pass other than shoving them out of the way? fs

No. Simple as. It's why the ****er has only won one championship, he's constantly up the top because of his dirty driving, but has no skill whatsoever. Well okay, he's fast, but he can't pass (or not hit everyone) for toffee. I simply cannot see how he gets away with these things, whereas others can't. (See Adam at the first round. Plato brakes early, Adam pretty much has nowhere to go and makes a mistake. Plato gets rammed, and loses a place. This round, one corner on Chilton brakes early and Plato purposefully 'twats him up the arse'. He loses a multitude of places as a result. Would Adam have got away with it if he'd done it on purpose? Or is is because he's not Plato?)

And Tim Harvey, I do like you but stop constantly defending Plato you little shit! That applies to other commentators as well, plus Autosport.

Having said that, Plato has been better this year. Also I don't know if there will be a penalty for Plato yet, but I doubt it tbh.

EDIT: Ha ha! Perfect, I've been supporting Harvey all year and was really glad that he was on top, then started not liking him this round and he loses the title! Well done Bridgeman.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

yep, just back from the local, got a couple of bottles in the fridge, the call to the local curry house has gone in and an unimaginable mess of delicious yet potential damaging amount of curry,chips and assorted meat are currently being cooked in, what one can only hope for, is a decent and hygienically clean kitchen.

That should all arrive just in time for MOTD to kick off, as a sit down in front of my roaring coal fire with Hansen, Linker and Shearer, I will munch through what could be potential food poisoning, all the while enjoying the footballing delights. After that I have the football league to wallow in the finest that the lower leagues can offer...including my beloved Newcastle United.

That takes me up to some time after midnight, where I have a couple of options. There could be some bizarre yet strange cult movie on sky movies somewhere, or I could look at my even stranger DVD collection. That should take me up to the race.

Then after the race, you would expect sleep.....but not me, oh no. Head of to Inverness at around 9am and find a pub that is open after 11am (thank you law change) and settle in for some friendly banter with ICT fans while occasionally looking at the Old Firm game on the box. Then onwards to the dump (after a bite to eat from the local McDonald's.....maybe 2 big macs ), to watch my team, my hero's Ross County take on the evil ICT. Finally ending back home roughly at 9pm in need to iron a shirt and trouser half cut.

It's going to be a long 24 hours I fear...bring it on.

Awesome, awesome. A true man, supporting Newcastle was the icing on the cake. I'm a pussy and am simply waking up for the race...I feel inadequate. Weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. Grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. I'm foul and disgusting. I'm a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on me. Even sheep won't have sex with me. I'm unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. Compared to you, anyway.

As long as Plato doesn't win it I'm happy, but I would prefer Turkington over Gio. I do like Gio though.

The forum's back up, thank god

I don't really drift, but when I tried it a while back I found 900 degrees so much easier than 720...however that might just be down to personal preference and setup. Try different things, see which works best for you.

Thank you!

BTW, you might want to change Z16 to Z17 here:

Quote from Scawen :

ABS brakes have been added to 5 cars (as a setup option) so for now you cannot upload hotlaps made in Z16.

FAIL FPS, FAIL no practice, FAIL no set, FAIL tyres, FAIL fuel, FAIL spin but I loved it The raw power of these cars puts a smile on my face, as did my few battles. Good stuff guys, cheers for attending

As I said in the server, if you want this league to continiue, invite teammates, friends, whoever - as long as they won't cause absolute chaos This league is failing rather because of a distinct lack of drivers, and there are rumours about pulling the plug on it...go on, do some advertising, and I'll try to too. I really like this league.

That was chaos :eye-poppi Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt, though I don't know how nasty that leg wound is. I was very worried when he disappeared under those tyres.

Made for great viewing though, I love you Suzuka!

Well done Rio, I was hoping they would win and it's nice to go to South America for the first time rather than america again! Sad about Jacarépagua though

Thank you so much! :lovies3d:

Good stuff, cheers!

I've driven round Croft in a souped-up mini. It wasn't quite a single seater, nor was I racing, nor did I have many laps but I was properly pushing it and when you're 13 it feels awesome I was only 30 or so mph away from you on the straights

Not the best track ever, but I do like Croft a lot, enough to go to the BTCC every year at least Though it's my local track, it's still too far to amble up there and meet you Tristan...harrumph. I live nowhere near anywhere But at least the countryside is lovely...if you do tecide to go all touristy I'm 30 mins from Richmond...dunno why you'd want to meet me but if you're passing through Wensleydale/Coverdale you could pop in if you're feeling peckish, or lacking in tea

I thought the thread title was wrong for a minute

Looking forward to this one, Suzuka is great, and the weather could make it very interesting...Zeug's obviously been hard at work

ghostrider and insanedragon, please could you keep it to PMs

Nice report! Well written, though it's hard to convey the immense excitement in the race. Gives it a professional touch

You spelt my name wrong in the 3rd paragraph though. Well there are a few mistakes actually, but that's nitpicking. Make me a mod and I'll happily correct them!

Ooh, wow, good luck! Big signing there.

Have a look at the Frex GP SimConMotion too btw

I'm confused as to whether you have unlimited or £20-30k of not your money. If the latter is correct the SCM should get you a motion simutator + everything else for that budget. If you sign up to the Frex GP shop it will give you the price, but it's a lot cheaper than Force Dynamics! Hovever, it isn't as good of course...I'll let you find videos and reviews yourself, I've got homework to do

A projecter is a good idea too, a friend has one and it is briliant...pity he doesn't play driving sims or have a computer hooked up to it.

Or just lots of monitors!

Quote from ghostrider83 :

Sorry for double posting but i have to agree with Schuppor on this he did try to use a skin that was made that had "DO NOT COPY OR EDIT!" on it so i suggest if Jacko1 does not remove his attachment in his first post here I suggest a Mod. to remove it.

Good point, done

Even £30k won't get you the best one, unfortunately. zapz is pretty spot on, I'd say, but motion simulators cost loads. The Force Dynamics 401 is $52,000! The 301 is $37,500. They're supposed to be making a '201' if you wait a bit, which should cost a good deal less again. But if you add in the wheel, shipping and huge screen...it'll still be costly!

I woke up one day in a good mood, walked into a room with a radio on and left said room feeling distraught, and unbelieving. R.I.P Colin. I've never cried more, I don't know why but your death really hit something in me.

It doesn't seem 2 years at all.

Crap, I forgot about the DFGT. Yeah, the DFP ain't great value for money at £60

Quote from The Moose :

wow, some mug paid £49 for it. You must be delighted.

I sure am

It is a fair price though, I'd say it's worth it if you look at just that wheel. But as you can get the G25 for £100, and it is a lot better...meh. And you can get DFPs cheaper if you look around some more.

But it's all good, you can sell them for £60 to mugs and buy them for £39

I'm really tempted to buy loads of these and sell them, £9 profit*10 (for example) = £90 profit!

Cheers to all who bidded

Ooh, 26 votes each - come on, vote for for ACCAkut!
