Other Games I'll have #15.
Number stickers would be good for the tin tops, but not the FO8 imo. Unless you made one for the rear wing end plates?

Other Games Looks and sounds stunning. It's made me really sit up and take notice of rFactor, whereas before I was content with just LFS. I agree with Matt though, the AI looked a bit lost at times, but I won't judge it until I play it for myself. This video is still showing an unfinished game imo.

Other Games I think we'll see the names like that for the rest of this season... I actually quite like it! I fully expect McLaren to snap up a huge new sponsor for the sidepods for the 2006 opener. ITV mentioned Intel are fishing about the F1 scene... you never know!

F1 If you over rev it to the point you hear some crackling noises, you lose some power. If you go mental with over reving you will certainly hear the damage more... and also notice you lose some speed and acceleration. It's a bit too lenient imo... would be nice to see damage happen more easily. But it certainly is a feature, and is noticable. I find you get more damage downshifting too quickly

Other Games "And yes, old cars on modern tracks is stupid. Still, if you do buy it, there'll be pleanty of 3rd party tracks made for it that are from the correct era."
I don't think they intend to replicate the old times when these cars were racing as new. I think it's more like classic race cars racing in todays time... if you follow.

Other Games I suggest Friday night at around 8-9pm.
I think most people go out on Saturday nights, myself included, and is probably why we get poor turnouts. I think we'd get more people on the Friday tbh.

Other Games Which makes sense as it is an online sim...
Single player in LFS is really just a practice mode for playing online. TBH... it's boring racing against AI when you can race against real people. It probably explains why I havn't touched GP4 in months!

Other Games I got mine last week! ...
... but can't play it until I get my gfx card from my work! I've been staring at the box all week... it's torchure!!! BF 1942 is up there with my fav games of all time! I really can't wait!! All I know is the cards are being shipped from the US. Might still be a while before I get to play it...

Other Games Yeah, had the last two aswell, and played them religiously. Great games, especially for RPGing. Recently went back to Jedi Academy with the Episode 3 release... bitten by the bug.

Other Games This Saturday is a bit short notice... i've already made plans. Would be good to plan for the week after, or perhaps have it on Friday nights instead. Saturday night is an aweful time to have these races imo.

Other Games I suppose people have different definitions of good looking graphics. For you it seems to be hi-res models and textures. Now I like those too, but I also like an advanced lighting model and materials, which brings realistic colour and atmosphere to a game imo. Personal preferance, thats all. But like I say... I don't think those shots are hi-res.

Other Games GPL looks better?! LMAO! Thats a bit sinical! It's the best looking racing game yet! On full detail, Race Drive 2 looks stunning!... not far off from those shots. I see no reason why the final game won't look like those shots. If anything, it'll look even better imo, as those shots appear to be lo-res.
The thing is, with the technology available for PC's today, those visual

Other Games I'm well into the FOX atm... I suggest an endurance race with them on Kyoto National. I know Keiran will back me on that one!

Other Games The video looks fantastic!
If Rangers are licensed, I fully expect Celtic to be too, as well as most of the "misc" european teams. Apparently, the English Premiership license states you have to buy the whole league, or you only get two teams... and that seems to be Arsenal and Chelsea. Those familiar with the Club Football series should know this.
I like the new editor features.

Other Games @Spike02: im doing 3d modelling and animation atm, but will be doing some level design and programming once im done.
@Lo2k: thanks man. I'm sure i'll be back into it eventually. Once this game is out it'll be several months of refining and expansion, so i'v have alot of spare time, along with a extremely generous payrise if it pulls off... at least double they say!

Grand Prix 4 Sorry for not posting...
As some of you may know, I got a new job in games development about 6 weeks ago, and have been extremely busy with it. It's very late hours, and often dont get home at night till about 6 or 7pm. Having been developing games all day, it's very hard to find the will to keep going when I come home at night. I play football alot, and that takes up 2 nights a week

I know my setup can go at least 1.5 secs quicker... made a mistake in the final sector and was flying for the first two. Need to make it handle better over the kerbs too. That or steal

Other Games Yeah, good idea Neil! Would be nice to have to think about your starting position over night, think of strategys etc. If we do it we'd have to make qually an hour long though!

Other Games I dunno... say 8pm to 11pm uk time? That should allow most people to come in and post a time at least. I'll probs be crazy and spend all 3 hours there anyway.
I'll record the times after each hour interval, then we can start again. I can post the times here from each session, or just mix them together to give one standings list.

Other Games There will be a few of us on tonight practicing, would be nice to be able to do an "official" practice session. Say, 3 hours long... come and go as you please. We can slap 3 1 hour long qually sessions together so we get standings. Or maybe just 2 seperate 1 hour long sessions? We could post the results on here. Whos up for it?
We'll use the "vMaxSR.com | gpgames.de" s
