Quote from Stigpt :

not a sportscar.

It says it's supposed to be a "luxury" car.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

speaking of uneccessary weight

100% of its weight is unnecessary. No one is going to spend a cent on that car (or drive it an inch) out of necessity.

Heh. People sell "star maps" at the sides of the roads here.

The local fast food joint is hiring highschoolers at $10 an hour. If dollars are worth anything these days :P

I read that as a percentage of income, gas is cheaper now than it was when it was $.16 a gallon. There's an optimistic way of looking at it (if it's actually true)...

Quote from danowat :

It's actually closer to real life the way it is now, rather than having the view swinging wildly about the place following the bikes lean.

IRL, the bike does feel like it's moving underneath you, and you and keeping (slightly) upright.

Thats one of the things bike sims have done wrong up untill now, made the viewpoint on the bike, rather than the rider, bike and rider are 2 very seperate things, and the rider doesn't follow the bikes lean totally.

True, but it is personal preference. I prefer to have viewpoints like onboard cameras (in LFS and other sims). Just the right amount of wobble and so forth to reflect that and not a head. It's more realistic to me, as I tend to see racecars from onboard cameras and not from my helmeted head. (I am looking at a screen, anyway!)

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Is this an experiment in creating the most difficult game in the world?

If the view leaned with the bike it might be easier, as it stands it's difficult to notice how much the bike is leaning until you realise it should be leaning the other way... too late.

And yes I cranked the lean slider up to max before I even did my first run.

lol I thought so too. But it takes a day or so to get used to... your brain definitely has to learn what's going on w/r/t visual input and what to do with that information. A fun challenge, I think.

edit: just did a 51.960 with the KB ;D

Quote from Electrik Kar :

I don't think so. And using the keyboard is awful. Surely the developers need to consider building in mouse support as it's the most widely used analogue controller around for PC.

Ah, that stinks. I even use mouse for LFS (and I own a wheel). Mouse support was the original reason I thought the LFS demo was worth playing.

I can only get a 54.1 with KB. I have no idea how to set it up so I can steer with the mouse—is it possible?

You mean there's actually a place to put your "location" right underneath your join date? :magnify:

Haha that sounded cool. Do it again!!

I just saw this on TV in HD

Just like House of Cards on Conan. Really nice studio (and instruments)...

Sounded? sounds!!!, I do it about 4 times a week!!!, it's loud enough to wake her up, very odd.

Jesus God! get a bite plate! your teeth must look like a pharaoh's...

Why the heck wouldn't a phone work? They don't want you using them when you land or take off because of some (probably irrational) fear of interference.

Bad luck to rename a ship... you just don't do it!

What about the black box from the Pentagon plane?

Flight path doesn't match official report. :magnify:

Quote from danben7 :

Or pop it into neutral to come to a stop (though this is a bad practice)

Quote from tristancliffe :

There is nothing wrong with coasting, despite what retarded driving instructors (even advanced driving instructors) claim. If you ask them WHY one shouldn't coast they fidget, sweat and avoid the answer, at the very most claiming "because you are not in proper control", which is a cop out, as I coast all the time on the road and remain in absolute control at all times.

The only reason I can imagine it would ever be bad to coast in neutral is if some engine component (turbo?) is in danger of overheating without the water pump moving fast enough. But even then it's just like idling at a light with better airflow, isn't it?

More fuel on the fire.

No answers, just more questions:

Quote from frokki :

But once again, are we driving today's MRT / RAC / BF1 or the one that was made into the game?

Even so, the MRT5 had a totally different looking dash/wheel. Always bothered me...

Quote from Hyperactive :

Because they don't need to make suggestions, they can just do it, dumbass

They've never replied to any thread here (or in RSC's forum) in 6 years. One could theorize that they've never even looked in it.

I see you've only been here half that time.

Ever wonder why the devs have never once posted here? :magnify:

Quote from duke_toaster :

That's within the same bits that contain Jewish dietary regulations.

Historically, the one usually referred to is 1st Corinthians 6:9 (NT epistle) http://www.blueletterbible.org ... verse=9&version=kjv#9

Apparently, in 17th century English it was translated as "effeminate," but I don't know what the Greek word means, and probably few do.

edit: and for the record, Acts (christian book) condones the eating of previously "unclean" meats.
I'm not defending anyone, but it's best to be accurate/informed.

Quote from wien :

Who are you to speak for every woman on earth? How can you completely rule that out? As long as they don't bother anyone else and they are all consenting adults I don't see why we as a society have any business dictating how they live their lives?

Just giving you the authentic American reasoning for its illegality, which is better than you can do.
