Unsecured cargo is loads of sun.
1. Put cars (of any amount) into cargo hold. Don't forget to apply parking brakes.
2. Take off.
3. Do a roll or looping.
4.

Avoiding enviromental implications is a selfish reason. What other reason could there be to do stuff other than personal gain?

Quote from djgizmo68 :Love this style, the way the Oil cooler is mounted on the front bumper, with the oversize oil lines going through 1 headlight, classic style, yet...sexy

That construction reminded me of a car we used in a Nordschleife-race.
Oilpressure was pretty low and temperature pretty high for whatever reason, and since the part that covered an additional oil cooler we added was loose from contact anyway we just ripped it off. It wasn't as pretty, but the pressure was alright after that.

The idea about earth warmth is that we currently don't have many energy sources that don't screw up our enviroment. Thus we need to get energy from somewhere so the the negative effects will take longer to kick in than what we did until now. We do so in the hope that by the time the next resource is drained we will have invented something new to either decrease the negative effects or use a different resource.

We stopped cutting down the forrests to heat our houses because we noticed that we were screwing up the forrests. So we came up with other heat sources, like coal and later natural gas. And now we noticed that we're screwing our air up and so we're switching to earth heat or whatever we come up with.

It's a process of learning how to change our enviroment. Man has always changed his enviroment to his needs. And now since the state of our atmosphere is gaining positions on our priority-list we're coming up with strategies to change the atmosphere to our needs.
So regardless of how big our influence on the atmosphere is, there is definitely room for improvement and I consider it just one more challenge to tackle.

They are putting up facts against facts.
If you read up on global warming you find evidence quoted and explained, and this video presents evidence that points right in the other direction. So one shows me temperature graphs that indicate A, and he other shows me temperature graphs that indicate the inverse of A. Both can not possible be true at the same time.
In that case I have to decide which author I trust more.

Quote from duke_toaster :The STCC broadcast team : After the chicken's failed switchback move on the duck, who he was then all over the back of, they are relatively even-stevens on their road crossing attempt.

Quote from southamptonfc :I think what everyone agrees on is that bf1 drivers are best

Ehm, no?
That's like saying Alonso is a "better" driver than Loeb.

Quote from (SaM) :I'm quite surprised how many people have never heard of BeSpoke. It was released back in S1. I remember I spent hours modeling existing and new rims to use in private sessions.
I even managed to make rims that flashed in all colors of the rainbow, exploiting an LFS glitch. Yes I know, very ricey, but it sure was fun to see some Showtec discolights in your wheels.

LFS goes clubbing, riceboy style!

If I ever see "rainbow rims" on a real car I will make you personally responible for insulting my eyes!

Quote from Hyperactive :Maybe I should finally install that Becky's pitspotter and switch to shift-F. I just need to know my lap times and laps... Just by shift-F:ing I lose a lot data...

I'm waiting for luaLFS to get properly checked up and then I'll do a pitboard via InSim.
Then I can finally shift+f without missing any vital information.

I would agree with a selection of rims to choose from.
Sensefully chosen rims that are both lightweight and elegant is a sign of good taste.

However most other changes, like a different looking front spoiler, should affect the car's performance noticably, which would lead to everyone choosing the same part anyway. And don't come up with the idea of 'credits', I dare you!

Quote from kompa :for the newbies fine but it would take a popup to explain/give a choise so it's much of an annoyance to all the screenshot generators. maybe it could be clicked like "don't show me this stuff ever again".

but then they just click and notknow.

If there really is a problem Scawen will have to spend the 30 minutes to look up a random imaging library to include and pass the screenshot through before writing to the harddisc.
Until then we can just wait and see wether it is a problem at all.

I have a bug that is propably caused by S2.
Reproduction steps:
Start LFS 0.5V2
Go to singleplayer, Blackwood GP, select the XFG
Start a practice session
After starting, press shift+u to enter the autocross-editor
Select "Options" in the lower right corner
The screen flickers, the driver-model that should be viewable is sometimes cut in half (see first screenshot) and the car on the track can interfere with the model of the driver (second screenshot).
Use throttle and brake to incluence the flickering.

The procedure above is only *one* way to reproduce this. I had this occur to me originally on BL2 with the XRT.
The options screen works very well if I access it in a different manner (esc -> options), which leads me to believe that this is a software-internal problem.

Yeah, thinking of a message to write so it makes sense to sign it with your name is difficult when you really only want to post attachments.

It doesn't work for me.
I choose an artist, it plays some songs that I like, starts suggesting a song that I don't like, then suggest songs that are even further away (because I didn't like the last suggestion), which I don't like, so it suggests something even worse, repeat.

It managed to move from The Prodigy to Pop and thinks I'd like some strange emo-gothic stuff on my Depeche Mode-station.

Whatever I do, I end up telling it that I don't want to hear anything it suggests ever again. It never comes back to what I originally wanted.

I digged around a bit on the topic.
Yes, Porsche was forced to change the name of the 901, because Peugeot owns the right to vehicle names with an 0 in the middle.
However, Porsche was allowed to keep the 90* series for pure racing vehicles, because they can't be mistaken for Peugeots (who didn't build prototypes at the time).
Now Peugeot uses the name 908 because the Porsche stopped using those names for their racecars (-> RS Spyder), and thus there is no chance of confusing them.
So basically, the rule about that is: "Is it possible to confuse the names?" If yes, a lawsuit is possible.

Quote from Hoellsen :908 is first of all a number. Numbers themselves normally cannot be registered as a trademark since they are too general and too little describing. They can only be registered as a logo-trademark where the logo is the part that makes identifying the trademark possible. Therefore, both companies most probably can (and have) register a logo with a 908, but they cannot just register the number itself.

They could register "Porsche 908" or "Peugeot 908" as a whole since in that combination the number servers to identify a specific item (in this case a car).

If so, why was Porsche threatened with a lawsuit when they planned to build the 901 and why was it serious enough to cause Porsche to change the name of the vehicle even after it's presentation?
Just asking, so I understand the relation, since you seem to know.

I like the brake and tyre dust more subtle. Here's a screeny from last year's Road Sport Summer Cup.
