Hrm - I find this is no the case in the higher powered one (z06?) - at least you can tinker a bit with the toe, camber and ARB settings (didn't check to see if that's possible in the normal model).
Which brings to mind - what's with the positive toe in the front for the z06? At first it kept annoying me with excessive turn in understeer and a tendacy to just plow ahead and not like the concept of taking turns but after removing that and playing with the ARB a bit and adding (removing) a wee bit of camber it felt quite nippy and controllable.
All in all I really like this version. It's quite a nice distraction and the additions/changes have benefitted it in all aspects. Good job.
Archery: liked it quite a bit, but didn't really follow up much in order to be able to tell if I'd be any good at it due to lack of facilities and equipment - only competition bow I've tried belonged to a pal who's pretty damn good at it and sadly it was left-handed and the only range I've seen was the one he built in his back yard.
Football, volleyball, basketball and handball: As you can tell from the grouping, I wasn't drawn in much.
Cycling: Quite fond of it ever since I learned how to balance on two wheels - occasionally entered competitive and non-competetive road cycling events.
Athletics: Ok in endurance running events - not much of a sprinter or jumper.
Boxing: Closest I got to that was kickboxing - had quite some fun in that, bruises and cracked ribs included, I'd gladly get back into it if I could find a trainer I could respect and decent club again.
Diving: I can utilize gravity quite well coming off a rock and not bellyflop but no fancy twirling and a miniature "plip" of a splash from me.
Swimming: I can move at a decent speed and can cover acceptable distances - but definitely not competitive and never in a swimming pool (blergh).
Shooting: I can get ~3 or 4 out of 10 shots in the bullseye (and the rest somewhere on the target) for a static target at 400m with the stock sights of an assault rifle - or at least I could. Oh, I can also blow up a barrel quite well at 150m with an M79 grenade launcher, even with a crosswind going - thank you Scorched Earth. Beats me what they compete with, I doubt they'd use the latter.
After a similar alcohol-enhanced philosophical debate that occured years ago I found out that the traditional way is living in a bog. The more glamorous approach is if you had a good voice, a striped shirt and lived in Venice - then it would be a daily exercise getting out of your gondola to the ending notes of La Traviata. Note how both versions include the amusing possibility of a failed attempt ending in a messy splash* - something we are robbed off nowadays in the sporty variation.
* the lack of which, ironically, is likely what attracted female competitors </phallocratic comment of the day>
If someone had paid you instead I'd be impressed. However as it stands you are -1000 in your investment and have no WR to boast about either. Talk about bad entrepreneurial ventures.
I don't get it - whenever I've heard someone scream for help it's usually the vowel that gets drawn out. How can the last consonant ever help in getting heard? At best you'd spit around a bit - and no matter how loud Ps just don't travel as well.
Neatest idea I had seen was an insim app someone had made recently. Something about "realistic head movement" IIRC. Check it out - has some limitations, sadly.
Aaaactually - Ye Aulde Mesopotamianne Belyef had it that the Earth was a disc floating around. The neat contradiction was that it was floating in sea.
Philosophers and other busy minds took up the subject pretty recently (a few centuries before the rabbi was nailed to the cross) and held on to it as an excuse for symposiums for a long while. I suspect it was the subject they fell back on whenever they had nothing else to talk about and were confronted with the possibility of actually doing a day's work. Which might also explain the bile some of them had for Eratosthenes when he went ahead and spoiled it for them.
As others stated, the effect of drafting is only half-implemented really. The car behind will get the benefits of it, however the car infront gets no reduction in drag (and downforce) on it's rear due to less turbulence and better airflow. Also, again as mentioned the diffuser's effect is hardcoded for each car. The aeromodel is sadly one of the most basic aspects of the sim currently.
Well, last time they allowed f1 teams to exploit ground effect freely they kinda went overboard with it. Do we have figures on how much downforce gp2 cars generate using ground effect and how much f1 cars do?
Let's count then. Out of the 11 races held to date 4 were on Tilke tracks and 2 were on the other "ropey" tracks. That's already more than 50% sent to the bin by the above. Should we count the other flukes? :P
See Canada? That's the way it's done. Word has it he stole the police car by throwing the head in it which scared the policemen out of the car. And he also beheaded his gf's dog.
As long as the above isn't posed as an argument - because then it can be taken that "only real racing is better than iRacing". :P
@nigelpm and Nick A:
Thanks - makes sense I guess - from the sounds of it perhaps it's just the track surfaces that don't challenge the LFS engine into having more detail.
