Evening all, long time no see!

The new open layouts on LFS have brought me back to the sim, after far too long spent with GT6 and a regrettable dabble in Assetto Corsa's murky waters.

This layout is a 3-lap "country lane blast" around Westhill's perimeter roads. Armco has been carefully placed to guide the player, but allow them to use all the road (and more!).

Because this layout is a road-based rally stage rather than an autocross or special stage, it flows nicely and can be driven in a "fast road" style or a flat-out racing-line-following rally style!

A rudimentary onboard demo video with the XF GTI is available here and the layout is attached.

Happy new year, and enjoy

EDIT: Now with directional markers before the armco at forks!

Enjoy

You're doing it wrong. Play it once and play it your way, how you'd react to those situations, and it becomes a more personal experience. Bashing out playthrough after playthrough and deliberately answering questions a certain way to lead to a certain ending is missing the point IMO.

It's a good fun game, great if you're bored for a few minutes here and there. Reminds me a lot of Race Driver 2 and 3 Keyboard steering is a bit slow with no way to adjust...

Looks pretty good actually, will give it a go when I get home

What a brilliant idea, never thought of doing that.

Is he driving the FZ50?

lets be honest. its not what you know anymore, its who you know.

Knowing the right people can make it easier but the 'traditional' way of getting good grades and applying for jobs also works...

I don't know much about Blender (I'm a 3DS user), but I'd maybe check the bits of building don't have any animation/movement keyframed?

Powerslide it everywhere, it's much more fun anyway

As someone whose full time job title is "Graphic Designer", I'd say your brother's work is of a good standard - like JJ72 said it's not spectacular and around degree level, but mine isn't massively better tbh - so he can charge a fairly decent rate. Don't know exactly what as I don't do freelance stuff (in the same way a car mechanic doesn't want to spend his evenings working on cars). As long as he charges more than the monkeys who call themselves a "freelance graphic designer" cos they downloaded Photoshop and made a poster, and less than the agencies, he should be fine.

The portfolio on his website is very limited though (I've been working for a year and mine is 20ish pages of varied stuff). Also the motorsport pics seem a bit unrelated?

EDIT: That "limiting the amount of changes" bit is a very good idea btw. I know from experience that if the amount of changes allowed is unlimited, the client will just **** about endlessly shifting copy and images around for no good reason, then blame you when the job is finished late.

Audi R10, Formula GT or Redbull X1

Disappointed I'll never get to go to a shuttle launch but so glad I was able to watch the last landing as it happened, and that all went well.

Will any long distance crew capsule + rocket combination ever be as "cool" as the space shuttle though...?

The Cassetteboy video with Nick Griffin was brilliant

The most irritating thing cyclists do to me (when I'm cycling too) is ride past me at a red light and sit in front of me, Then ride off at less than walking speed. I am forced to piss about overtaking them (either that or ride behind them at 0.0001mph) and when I am caught by the next set of lights, they do it again. And again.

You're not positioning near enough to the kerb at the lights, mate. Think I've pissed off half of Chelmsford's cycling community by doing this (positioning left) over the last 3 years...

Ohh, dear. What a cock he is.

Aren't we all? /philosophical

I imagine various laws apply, that aspergers dude is fighting extradition because he broke US law.

Not strictly true. The US are trying to extradite him because he broke into a computer on their soil. If it'd been a computer in the UK he would have been tried here. (IMO he shouldn't be extradited or even prosecuted for this, he's clearly harmless and made a mistake).

Why does this topic remind me of those SEO-heavy article marketing things? So just in case this topic reaches the top of the Google search list, I shall take the opportunity to say: IMO, they're overpriced shite like everything else Monster produces.

Nice homage to the Oblivion queue video on the BBC there

Was the cockpit the BIG object flying to the top left of the screen?

Jesus, this doesn't look good.

Use the ticket with coupons as proof of whatever. Which rail company are you travelling with?

Love the way the ASA consider "faster is funner" to condone unsafe driving. Faster is funner - true. Whether it is unsafe is an entirely different issue dependent on the individual driver and road conditions.

Since when did an ad watchdog become experts on road safety?

Sorry guys, none of the above. I've already done the Google lyrics thing, hence asking here Just wondered if any British members had seen the video...

Sorry for the random topic but this is driving me nuts.

Has anyone seen the music video involving the aforementioned things? It's by some UK indie-type band and the lyrics are "I wanna see you in the... #something#"

I keep seeing it at the gym but can't remember the band or the song. I thought it was Kings of Leon but it's not.

Halp plz?
