Greetings!
After a some serious down time from gaming I am tentatively returning. The weather is getting cooler so I won't have to sit in a sauna.
I did the computer upgrade a few months ago and it never recognized my G27, (just doesn't even know it's there) Didn't stuff around trouble shooting so I downed tools and went outside..
Now, a few months later I've just bought a new BMW 116i... Totally out of my league in class, style and value. So I thought I better go back inside.
Speaking of class and style, I have learnt nothing while being away. (hence the bmw) I will be catching up on how AC has changed. I'm sure crash damage is still quite boring? Cause i'll be doing a lot of it...
I hope everyone is well, even Marty? Everyone still here? well hello all! old, really old. and new!
Who is skinning now?
-
I was wondering if you've buggered off for good. We were missing the rainbows & unicorns from our cars, dude! :)
Btw you can't go lower in class than a BMW xxxi so it's all good (just kidding, nice car!)
No-one is pulling our skins without you, no-one!! :D
-
Hi Dick, welcome back. Buy the DLC and get practising!
Also, make sure you have the latest version of the Pit Lane Penalty app, which you can download here: http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=758.0
-
Yeah. Nice to see you're back Dick. If you were wondering PLP is an app Wally built to stop you spinning off and crashing :))
-
Actually PLP wont stop Dick crashing it will just give him a drive through penalty every lap or so. Not many have been skinning but I assume that BMW has care bears, rainbows and unicorns on the outside and a questionable driver inside.
-
Hi gentlemen, Marty.
It might take me a few nights, even a whole week just to get set up. Haven't even taken the covers off the rig let alone DLC. Haven't even looked....
too much real life sport today, but it's good to see you all!
you're right bird, it's entry level. just like me. A lot more people seem to want to race me then they did in my polo..
I almost got a hello kitty air freshner for it today.
Ps. Anyone want to buy a 2012 polo? Never been raced!
-
DICK! Glad to see you back.
The Prodigal Son! Did you have to prove it by buying a BMW? Anyway glad you did, as it means it will be behind closed doors and you stay inside and visit us in the virtual world... see you on the track, when I get back.

Just wondering what you mean by never been raced?
-
Ohhhh I could be convinced to start wearing clothes when I race if I had on of those polos;). Do they come in pink?

Pretty sure when Dick got the Hello Kitty Polo back in 2012 it was pink, now for sale as its faded to red if thats possible.

G'day wobblyone! Nice to meet you. How did you end up amongst this mob of degenerates?
i tried to get away from them but the urge to ram Marty is too great. And i hope my race partner is still around? ?
And if you need hello kitty skins. I'm the man
-
Hello kitty skins...I think we might become great friends Dick lol....yea not sure how I ended up here..was a few days after stopping my medication..and yea I get a strong urge to ram Marty too...very odd ;)
I was racing with SJ and race dept for years..had a few years off just bought this game a few weeks ago and ended up on the xgn practice server...a few brain washing sessions later and I was indoctrinated into the XGN cult ;)
-
Dick Guybrush is around but TS went down for a bit last month so he has gone to Thailand to find more TS. Not sure how long he has gone and if he realise Teamspeak and ladyboys are a different type of TS.

Guybrush went down on TeamSpeak?
That kid will try anything. You probably egged him on Marty?
doesn't he know you've probably touched up all the lady boys in Thailand?

Hey Dick, welcome back mate.
Just in case you have not been keeping up with all the latest stuff, some people who were suffering from motion sickness with AC have reported good things with the Real Head Motion App. Thought it might be worth a try for you.

Good to see your fonts Rob!
I hope my motion sickness was a one off. I was unwell at the time and had spent too much time driving with Mary and Gaybrush. Enough to make the strongest man wanna lose his lunch. But thanks Rob nice to know there are options.
Is there a app that deals with 'sick of spinning off'??
I'm still downloading AC updates, going to take ages...... Shut up. that's why.
-
lol, I haven't found the "sick of spinning off" App yet. If I could make one I reckon I could make a fortune.
-
Best AC news I've heard Dick. Welcome back to the fray buddy. I look forward to ramming you off the track soon.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any suitable lady boys for either yourself or Marty. You said you wanted ladyboy with Chiko Roll but they only have mini dim sim apparently.
I did go to the Formula 1 in Malaysia though and picked up a good tip - don't drive a Renault powered car.
-
hi Mr Threepwood! Welcome back. I hope all your test results come back negative... unlike last time...
So no happy endings?
I've got AC up to date. But i know I'll have drama with my G27. Hopefully I'll sort it over the chocolate holiday. should be on the track. Looking forward to marty teaching me something about race craft. Only to then have you teach me properly...
-
I think the happy ending is the test result sir Dick...re race raft....there are great instructional videos and pictures on the post silverstone thread, I'm going to put some into practice once I work out the finer details ;)
Good to have you back guy...or is it, you one of those alien types I hear? Oh well Marty T bone tactic it is ;)
Would of been cool to see ferraris first win in a few years eh.

Hi Wobbs! No doubt, within 2-3 laps you will wonder just how I have survived behind the wheel of a real car this long. There are bad drivers, there are scrub drivers. Then there is Dick Forrest.
It gets worse, Guybrush and Marty have taught me everything I know about SIM racing.
Guybrush uses haxx btw. I think he maybe in cahoots with Admin too..... just sayin'
-
Uh oh...now I'm worried ;)
-
They are genuine hacks though, so it's Ok. That's what the guy selling them said. I was also told the same thing about my limited edition Quicksilver sun glasses at the Chinese night markets.
Yep, good to see anyone other than Mercedes win a GP. The Malaysians are mad about Ferrari as well so they were going a bit nuts. It was a little more difficult for us to get too excited when our man was being lapped in 10th :(
-
I'm not a f1 man more of a Moto GP fanatic..but I'm assuming ur talking about ur red bull renault guy? Shame cos back in the day renaults were the engines to have :(.
I must adim I'm a Vettel fan after seeing him on top gear a german with a sense of humour, seems a top guy, I was going to watch Moto GP in sepang while I was travelling last year but the thought of 40 degrees in a grandstand made me decide to stay in the air con bars in pattaya lol
If u can email me the hacks I'd appreciate it ;)
-
GB hacks are just going pretty much flatout consistantly finding new limits that most didnt think were possible. Hes always about .5 faster then me and there is very little I can do about it. I only beat him a few times in equal cars and he didnt like that too much. ;)
Dick on the other hand beats himself easily enough, he was getting much better but I also remember him calling me a Nazi once. The reason was I had a 6 or 7 lap race setup and he was crying like a little girl saying 3 laps is all he can manage ;D
-
Just because I cried, threw my chair across the room and started plotting your disappearance, doesn't necessarily mean I was too phased about being beaten Marty.
I still think anyone can be quick with enough practice though. Some need more than others - just when you think you can't get any quicker you can normally get another half a second or so.
-
3 lap races are what it's all about!
That Renault guy is my local neighbor.... If he still lived here. No doubt he has a great future, would love to see him in a faster car. I think he would blitz Hamilton who is proving to be a very good driver this year again. The whole F1 scene needs to be taken off Bernie Ecclestone. He's lost it. gone a bit mad.
Well I have got AC running, minus haxx. I think I will need some guidance in FFB settings. Do you still have your sliders up real high guybrush? I think we had a page somewhere. I prefer to fight my G27 it's my only form of exercise.
Did a 4 minute lap at spa in the DTM. so I'm improving.
Apps, what are we using? Is there a handy link? don't make me search now..
I'll mail admin my GUID again, it may be different now. And no doubt you burnt my last one anyway.

App-wise, you need to run the Pit Lane Penalty app (see the new version 1.0 thread), and I would really recommend the Helicorsa app as well - a mini-radar that shows you where other cars are around you.

Try jump on my servers Dick if your still banned it should mean nothing has changed. ;)

Had a server up with kick vote percentage at 0% pass, nobody took the chance to kick me as every vote was a guaranteed pass. ;D
-
I think if you try to kick the admin it cancels the vote as I tried a number of times to kick Marty but the vote wouldn't finish.
-
Must be related to the Admin Suicide fix. ;D

Id like an update to the suicide fix and anyone that trys to kick the admin kicks themselves. :D
-
I've been working on a app with wally that auto kicks marty even while you're out on the race track. I know it will get hundreds of downloads.
I'm too tight to get the dlc until payday so that auto crashes ac When i ignorantly try and log into a dlc server.
marty is clearly at fault though. for everything.
-
Marty, or anyone with dashmeterPro.
Mine says it is connected all sweet but nothing is working. Is yours working fine? I probably should just shut up and do a clean install?

Yes working fine here, did you go to the dashmeter site and dl the latest version of the software for your pc. I think it got an update with v1.1
-
I see Dick has been skinning real cars in the blancpain gt3 series.

Good job Dick :)
-
Ah you see!
Told you I was on the bleeding edge of skin design!
But all you stiff shirts couldn't break away from your racing stripes and standard race colours!
Ok, I know there are quite a few of you who are not scared to step outside the normal box.
I noticed my skins still worked on the cobras. But you guys haven't been using them? They took the best part of 5 minutes, slaving over a hot computer you know!
I won't be racing tonight. Unless Marty buys me the DLC, like he promised..... or was that something else he promised...
-
I dont remember that Dick, is cramdick racing looking for sponsors? If you do want to be sponsored it could be arranged but youd need to drive cars with skins id provide for the next year and part of the deal is youd need to complete the Nords enduro race. In other words youd be my bitch for a bargain price. ;D

In your dreams!
And I haven't seen Cramjet yet. I see he's on-line but not in any races? He will need to step up. I will need some serious carrying.
-
Ohhhh I could be convinced to start wearing clothes when I race if I had on of those polos;). Do they come in pink?
Wobblyone, meet Dick. Dick, this is Wobblyone.
G'day dick :)
G'day wobblyone! Nice to meet you. How did you end up amongst this mob of degenerates?
i tried to get away from them but the urge to ram Marty is too great. And i hope my race partner is still around? ?

Haven't raced in a while as I've been equally as busy...buying a BMW 540i (among other things).
My tuesday's (and thursdays) will clear up pretty soon, CramDick Racing might make a return!?

Cramers!! Good to see you!
Always room for you on Cramdick racing or we would not be Cramdick racing!
A 540i you say?? Well you have just totally blown my 116i out of the park! But, let's race!! Scarborough beach??

Glad to hear it! I'll get some practice in next few weeks and get back into it.
Yeah - how about at the track? I'm prepping my e30 for a couple track days at barbagallo. Gonna try this whole racing thing in real life.
The 540 is a bit of a mess at the moment. Might be a while until its right (manual).

Lol I'm sure my warranty and insurance will cover racing at Barbagello.... not.
Sounds like fun, with huge undertones of money.
I'm interested.... need a crew chief?

I knew it all along. Hello kitty skins are the new black.
Shame other racers show no respect.
Love these GT racing. seeing these guys crash is always so dramatic and you can see the money being smashed all over the race track.

The way you Drive Dick im surprised you can get any inusrance at all. Id take options on you not crashing as that would be a safer bet then insuring you against the inevitable crash. :D

Concept?? That looks beautiful mate as is!! You have mastered CG.. I see you're also a master of plasti-dip!
Typical West Aussie.. Looks like you're doing 110 in a 70 zone. And tailgating.
