could it be some firewall issue?

It'll certainly "curb" my creative lines :D

Conventional wisdom for Imola is that you have to use the kerbs.
True, but I usually recall my friend Sambo (who raced in FF and now in the carrera cup) - he said he enjoys the tin-tops more because in the FF you just can't touch the curbs.  This is sortof true with this car, too.  It's so light that curb-running is a very dangerous exercise, and there's not even damage yet.

Btw I've seen some red damage indicators pop up on my screen when I took some curbs too hard.  So I'm sure it'll be much tougher in the future. :)

Yeah, sorry Marty about turning in on you.  I'll forward your claims to the financial department ;)

guys, you can
- give the thread the 5-star rating,
- like the first post
- also post a reply in the thread

these all help to keep it afloat and in front of the all-important dev eyes. :)

It maybe better if we don't do it at once, but spread it out over a week or two.  Less suspicious, hehe.

Agreed, very enjoyable evening!

I've been in a couple of tangles, but it was all good hard racing, and it's all in the name of competitive fun.

I just want to express my good feelings towards everyone here, you guys are a great bunch, love you all!

P.s. Wally-bot, do you sleep sometimes?  :) 
Thanks for all the hard work, mate.

I hate macau with a passion :)  But it's a properly insane track, I fully agree.

It's in in-game app called "Track Descriptions" Bird.
REAL handy 'round Nordschleiffe. ;)

Thanks - altho I don't care for nords much, otherwise it'll be handy. :)

Interesting, and it'd be also sad if you'd leave.

What I don't understand: how is it that you see less from the same viewpoint on the monitor compared to the rift?  You're on the same "eye level" aren't you?  Or is it just the fov?  And why the low resolution?  I'm a bit confused...
Don't be sad. It's only a temporary hiatus :)

I meant 640x480 single monitor mode to simulate the view in the rift. The rift panel is 1280x800 and you see less than 1/2 that per eye, so 640x480 is still higher res than the rift. The issue currently is that AA isn't working, so it's just a mass of large pixels and you can't pick out markers until you're very close to them.

There are options for me to improve it a little, but they're a huge pain in the butt to use with AC so I'd rather just take a break at the moment.

Ok, I'm hoping they figure it out for you sooner rather than later!


Copse. ::)
(there's an app that shows corner names Wally ;))

That'd be handy!  Care to post a name or link, please?

It sortof made sense in the Cain toad format, too, as a reference to Cain & Abel... :)

I've been trying for a week since they broke it, but it's just crap. I did a monza race in the 458 on Tuesday and was able to get around, but it was uncomfortable after a while. Hopefully I'll have a DK2 in a week or 2 and a patch to support it, then I'll be back in action :)

As an experiment I tried 640x480 with no AA, no AF, 60 fov. It's pretty close to what I'm dealing with so maybe if you all agree to drive with those settings I'll give it a go  :P

With the camera up high I can see corners a little better but it feels like I'm driving a gokart or something lol.

What, what?   What do I want here now?   I don't remember wanting anything like this, but then my memory isn't what it used to be...
I was thinking about you being able to upgrade your 'Flaming mini'avatar.

Aaah, I get it.
Yeah to be able to cross the line in (flaming) style you do need this :D

Get a decent sized SSD, mate.  It's about 50c/ GB lately for a decent one, eg this crucial M550  512GB model

If you want to blow an engine just downshift very fast and early, it will blow your engine in any car with damage on. Wont be a huge effect on the f abarths but I think forcing damage on is a good thing. Still odd the server cant set ambient temps yet so there should be an advised temp setting all should use to keep it fair.

I've tried many times to downshift as fast as I can. from 200kmh+ to reverse! or just neutral, foot always hard on the go pedal.  bmw and lotus. The engine goes red but never dies...
maybe I need my local settings to have damage on? hmm
This is the feature that Bird wants and the one that "BBQ Bob" aka Glen 73 doesn't want reintroduced :)

wow, you use your ISP's email??? that's pretty retro Mr bacchulum.

OK, first of all he never said that, pop3 is available with all major email providers.
2nd how is it better to trust google, microsoft or any other "big brother" to handle your emails?
Unless you have your own server to handle your own stuff, you're actually potentially going for the worse for the questionable advantage of a permanent email addy (questionable, eg because spam will mount as time goes)

But anyway, let's get back on topic... :)
