Now do tell me where the following fails

Quote from The Very End :

It seems that LFS is very popular in Spain. I often see some spain server with 40 people on, it`s some kind of league events so canot joint to see what it is. Maybe someone would upload some videos of those leagues?

I suppose you'll have noticed by watching the links provided by TRM that there's a channel (LFS-SPAIN) in Stage6: http://www.stage6.com/LFS-SPAIN

Quote from deggis :

I very highly doubt this is included, but there is a VERY SIMPLE solution to this: "Change brake pedal to clutch pedal" feature.

In the start the brake pedal could be a clutch by default (as there is that magical handbrake keeping the car so you don't need brake anyway), then after you start you press some specific button and the game configures the pedal back to brake. Or maybe even automatically after the start.

Oh! Please, someone do this!

Apart from the patch itself, which is great news ... I'd love to read a full report on the track day you had, Scawen. May fit well in the General Racing Talk section. So... please

Do we need a sequel, The Espionage II: The Farce?

Oh, please, I need a sequel for this : http://www.elpais.com/graficos ... /20070913elpepudep_1/Ges/

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

I know of and agree with that, doesn't change my opinion though

Ok, I'm not trying to anyway In fact I didn't watch the whole video, I just opened it and noticed it was wet race.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

I tried to count the times he missed apexes in the first vid, but ran out of fingers

heheh, remember he is racing in the wet, so the racing line is a bit different :

Edit: I agree F1 is not about nationalities, but it isn't also about hate and stuff like that

ok, more on mis-quotations. who's right?

Talking Ron Dennis..

Autosport:

"The problem was rain and his (Hamilton's) tyres were in the worst condition. But we weren't at all fazed about Kimi. We weren't racing Kimi, we were basically racing Fernando."

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/63139

The Times:

"The problem was rain, and his tyres were in the worst condition. We weren't at all fazed about Kimi; we didn't care about Kimi; we weren't racing Kimi; he was racing Fernando."

Quote from jamvib :

I didn't write my opinion about the matter, I wrote my opinion about the post. It’s based on a quote from Alonso; as a matter of fact that interview happened to be in Spanish not English.

The sentence
"Alonso went on to say he has not been treated like a double world champion, but just like a normal person. "
It’s something the editor wrote, Alonso didn't say that (at least this time), he was asked if he deserved being treated as a double WC, and he said "No, I just want to be treated with respect as a normal person". The right quote would be:

"Alonso went on to say he does not want to be treated like a double world champion, but just like a normal person."

You're right on that

I see, thanks . But those lines are marking the orientation of the car. After the first hit the car should rotate a bit just as is seen in those images but I can't see why it should change the trajectory of the car, let's say, some degrees to the right. I can understand better if that would vary the trajectory some degrees to the left and that would mean a smaller frontality (?) in the hit. I think I'll stop here, It's as painful for me to try to express something in English as the hit was for Robert I must say: we (at least me) need some official data

Aargh, noo, I won't make a manual 3d restitution!! (or whatever it is called in english) That would be by far more precise, but takes lots of time. Heheh, ok no problem, that was just my opinion since it's a bit hard to judge from what we have seen from videos

Quote from bbman :

You forgot that the car changed it's course by hitting the first wall with its front wheel, so estimate the angle more to 50-60°...

I'm sorry but i can't agree with that (I've got some experience on doing photographic restitutions). Just look at the video posted above and compare:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWZ7iKXfLXs

Anyway that's my point of view, not trying to change yours

Just to clarify a bit about the angle of crash I did this:

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5602/canadacd6.jpg

I know there are inaccuracies but that's roughly 24º. Even considering actual walls doesn't match 100% those on the photograph the angle wouldn't go much higher than 30º. So my point of view is that the circuit safety is not as bad as it seems and the car safety is again not as good as is seems (ok ok he got out unhurt ). That's all I can tell with my english

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Oh and apparently the Spanish coverage has been taken over by a channel called...wait for it....La Sexta. But apparently they have done some decent sport coverage, hopefully they will educate F1s new fans.

Heheh, I wonder how did you know that, but yes, you are right. Let's hope they'll try to educate people a bit, but we'll have to wait until 2009 to see what happens

Quote from Eldanor :

If Tele5 drops F1 maybe it could return to La2 and get rid of that stupid Lobato so we all win!!!

OT sorry. heheh, meeting another master: Jesus Frayle

I've studied about Earthquake resistant design (ERD), and for what I know, here in Europe we shouldn't worry much about our security, at least in most of the cases

Quote from axus :

EDIT: The OOS only happens on SPRs from what I've tried so far. Some get it sooner, some later.

The same for me at the second try. Also my pc rebooted the first time while loading a spr. It saved a minidump. I can provide more details and the dmp file if needed.

Quote from nihil :

That makes me quite happy (though I don't have a camera with which to record the moment )

I get called "intense" quite often, but photographs just don't often get my 'good side'!

Heheh, sorry about that. Is this your good side?

Yes, another Rem, Rem Koolhaas

Quote from Hyperactive :

How much does it even cost to do GPS scanning or anything similar to get the track surface info? The more precise the more time and more money at least... No idea of the actual quantities though

I doubt GPS scanning is the only way to do that. I guess you can get a very accurate track surface representation by simple telemetry analysis. And again, possibly, for free! Add this to the architectural/engineering data you already have and you have done it for free. In fact someone else has done it for you. Remember there are lots of ways for working things out.

Edit: heheh, I remembered a spanish sentence: "matar moscas a cañonazos" > "killing flies with cannon shots" This comes to my mind when I think of GPS/laser scanning.

Quote from mikey_G :

The last 2 corners of the Sachsenring are quite hot

But I guess not a lot of tracks would mind free licensing. I think the main prob is closing the track and measuring every cm of it, which cost a lot of time, and time is money.

Hi. Why close the tracks and measure every cm of them? I work as an architect and I can´t help but thinking that track owners already have precise architectural/engineering loads of data about it and its surroundings. That information would be a necessary part of the deal, and there would be no reason for them to not share it. I think the main job is the fine tunig of the tarmac, and shouldn't be that hard.

I hope you can undertand my english and also my point of view.

Similar error here while configuring the race (setting number of laps). I think it happened when returning to track, but not sure about it. I just got a crash (went straight to desktop). No actions done by me in that precise moment, btw. Patch V. MecaHost-[FB] Team server.

Regards (and sorry for my english)

Edit* Ouch!, I've just seen that's not the correct address to provide. Sorry about that.
