The London Allstar

Really like this at the moment, this isnt the official vid but is very good i think

Thanks everyone, I couldnt believe that I won. I saw Kruiz coming closer in my mirror and when Allstar was putting me out there very hard (from a lap down) I thought that Kruiz was leading lol. And yes i'm maybe a very little bit undergraded

 

Anyway see you all next meeting.

First chance i've had to comment after thursday night as ive been at work today and yesterday, suprised more hasnt been said.

First off sorry to Trav who i burried, it wasn't intentional as i thought you were mike

Secondly a Well done to Mike for winning the open race, just goes to show how fast you are and how well you can cope with big pressure which brings me onto my next point. The open race obviously showed that skill and speed which you have which i was fully aware of having to start next to you every race so was expecting you to scamper off into the distance after the first few corners. However i managed to keep you close and was giving and taking hits going into the bends and for a while it was good racing. However after 5 laps you gave me that flat out hit going into turn 3 which i just dont understand at all because it ruined my race on the spot, fair enough clipping the inner tyre made me spin, but without hitting the tyre i think it would have put me all the way to the fence which there is just no need for... Which is the point i have been trying to make for the last 3 weeks. Where is the fun in just booting it into a bend to purposly fence the car infront, it's so lame and for me spoils F1 stocks to the extent that i am at the point of having no interest anymore which is a shame as its a great mod.

Saying that im guessing im going to recieve a holiday so mayby i might be interested again by the time comes that i can race again. However if the flatout hits are still going on, that interest won't last long at all.

Cheers Kev and Johno (i think? its been a few days!) for running the meeting

Edit: Thought of something else to add as i'm not the best at explaining my thoughts...

Where i mentioned the flat out hits spoiling the game, its partly to do with the fact that mike for eg is easily 0.3 or more a lap quicker than myself for example at most tracks so there just isnt the need to give those huge hits, just push the car wide and go by.. you dont see FWJ putting every car he comes up behind in the fence, mayby one or two through the night, but not every race!

Happy birthday matey

Thought i was going to be able to race until you replied lol

Tonight?

ok right i tried my old roller ball and it works fine with no problems, I decided to complete uninstall and re install my drivers for my optical mouse and re install it. This has stopped the loss of control problem, but when trying to play a game which uses the mouse as a pointer, for example when doing a shooting game it just goes to the right constantly the only way to stop it is to drag the mouse to the left, but this means you cant move left and if you hold the mouse still it jsut goes back to the right

It is as if i need resetting somehow. Any ideas?

The original Studio B mix of that is the nuts Tosh

These do it for me atm whilst im pootling around in my van at work

That rain was immense!

Its a tough one mate, its easily done especially when your pushing hard, but I try my best not do spin the car in front because I can only expect the same back, and I like to keep my nose clean.

 

I personally think that getting inside the car in front and hitting them in a way in which will definately cuase a spin is really quite dirty, I woudn't even try it purposefully for a last bender.

 

All I can really say is that if you have any complaints please send a pm to a member of the admin team so we can review the accident. We are taking these things very seriously and had 3 or 4 complaints from Ipswich which we have reviewed and applied disciplinary points where neccasary. You might think that only causing someone to hit the fence is against the rules, it isn't, this is a common misconception but DELIBERATE TAKE OUTS are too, and if you are deemed guilty of one, you will be punished accordingly.

Cheers for that Kruiz, thats more or less what i wanted to hear from soneone who has common sense and can race fairly.

Can someone upload the replays for me please? I only have the final

This was'nt the only thime this happened tonight, i havent got the replay due to thesame saving 500 copies of warmup which overwrites the old replays

thats meant to read, "the game saving 500 copies"

Thought tonight was a follow on from last week, the driving standards were once again just plain crap. Dont like to Single anyone out as i said to Johno last week, but as an example of what im talking about... Now usually in F1 i find Murf to be hard but fair so dont take it the wrong way mate, just making an eg

In the i was Battling with Murf for a few bends which was all well and good until Murf took an inside line on me, however i just took a wide line into the bend meaning there was roughly a two foot gap between my rear and Murfs front bumper, and whilst he braked he then let off turned to the right and took me out over the back wheel. Now i dont know if its just me, but I thought it was pretty obvious it was just going to spin me out there and then, I just dont see the point in doing it at all. Oh wait yes i do, it just spins me instantly and gets me out of the way so you can carry on happily as if nothing happens?

After the hit, i end up going backwards into the wall facing the wrong way...

This was'nt the only thime this happened tonight, i havent got the replay due to thesame saving 500 copies of warmup which overwrites the old replays but Chevy in one heat just came flying up the inside similar to the hit above, but instead of breaking like Murf did it was clearly obviouse the brakes wern't used one bit.

Someone tell me, is this reasonable (bearing in mind this is all mid race) or do i just expect people to use the breaks push you wide go round the inside and go past rather than delibertatly take you out for some strange reason. Oh wait, When Kruiz, Johno, MoR ect ect go past this never happens? So obviously it cannot be that it cant be done the proper way, just that the people who do it want to take you out on purpose. This is the CRAP that spoils online racing, i did mentin to Johno last week who said he would reply over the weekend but hasn't so I'm not sure what exactly he thinks about it. But either way unless there is someone actually looking at this kind of thing then i see no point trying to race fairly and will be doing as they say "If you can't beat them join them"

During the final after being taken out a few times i found myself either 1 or 2 laps down and in amongst a big battle for the top ten. Going into turn 3 and 4 i was on the inside with MoR infront of me and walker behind, I was punted by Walker which put me into MoR and he spun. Now there was nothing i could do about it and i'm not sure if Walker meant it either? But none the less straight after the race i did apologise to MoR (not sure if he saw as there was alot going on) But also i have sent him a PM... Common courtesy after an accident doesent take much and certainly doesent hurt!

Final note which is positive, i thought tonight was very well run so would like to thank Kev and the rest of the guys who contributed to that, top job.

Fine with me Kruiz, whats so funny Aub?

Try this, i dont have front just rear

heres my new skin i have done and a new render scene ave made with some editing. Does anyone know how to get a higher resolution in max for renders?.

Its in the render section on max, there should be 4 boxes, each one has a resolution in it, 800x600 is the biggest i think. Talk to me later about it if you cant find it

WHen this topic first came up i wasnt getting the problem, but ive had it 3 times since 7 this evening today

Thought tonight was completely spoilt by the utter crap driving standards

none the less cheers for RM'ing Spike and Cheers to Kev aswell

ah that would be why then

WQR 4 already i've missed to many meetings! lol

Finally able to race this week and can't wait to get cracking on the new season, bet i'l do terrible lol

Trial and error...

 

Maybe explaining how to do it would be good....oh no maybe not as some skin painters can't be bothered to help other folk that skin paint

Didnt this explain it then?

put part of the sign onto the bonnet.

he asked how to line it up and i said trial and error, what more is there to explain?

Trial and error...

thanks very much for the kind comments. i wil see how big the range is gonna of the mk1 tongue.gif

i will consider doing (1 or more) conversions

 

anyway about a next car i dont know yet, was thinkin about a proper mondeo

Fantastic work Haadee, i hope it gets put into the UKDirt banger mod as i think it looks spot on.

A mondeo that actually looks like a mondeo would be great, contact me if you need decent pictures as i have a few that will be useful

hmm thats what i thought at first, so the first thing i did was check my firewall was on and did a few virus scans to see if i could find any trojans and had a manual route around but came up with nothing.

Classic ATB song, absolutly slaughtered
