With heavy damage, no ABS and some boost?

Well that would go downhill pretty quickly, wouldn't it?

I want to do some 2-wide snow drifting!!!

Menown · Dec 22 2011, 9:59 AM #402

All the best Yuri.

Care to elaborate on the open lobby situation?

I went back to BC2 to get my eye in for BF3 (my wife's present to me) and it is just full of idiots killing their own team. Did the Internet take a huge stupidity hit recently?

Change the tracks then, so that there are no downhill sections

Menown · Dec 22 2011, 10:05 AM #404

I have a really good snow track, can non-hosts load a custom track?

The second comment should adequately explain your first question.

You've obviously been drinking this morning.

Yes, they can.

BTW, ebay notified me this morning that Santa has dispatched his elves with my brake pedal upgrade!

You had to wait 5 days for them to ship it, no "A+++++++++ would totally use again" rating for them them.

Of course once you get it you will be so giddy with joy that the delay will be forgotten.

EDIT: Sweet, I'd love to give my track a bit of the spot light, if that is okay coach?

BrandonW77 · Dec 22 2011, 10:46 AM #407

^ Well, they're British. What do you expec...............OOOOPS!!!!

We can for sure check out your snow track. I'd never had much luck with snow tracks but whipped up a couple really nice ones the other night. More for fun and sliding around than racing really, but should be good for racing too.

Please let us/me know how you like the mod Brandon. Considering it myself after you posted the picture of the springs, but I'm going to let you try it out first

I've got to take apart my shifter too to fix a broken reverse wire so this would be a good project to go along with it.

^ All the reviews are glowing, lots of comparisons to a load cell pedal. The Inside Sim Racing guys did a review on it and have good things to say. Side note, if you watch closely you'll notice he modulates the throttle while braking, just like Yuri was talking about the other day.

Hey I'm not British, I'm English. The order of awesome is.

In England here is how it works

If someone is awesome and English, they are English. (Nigel Mansell for example)
If someone if awesome, but comes from on of the other counties, they are elevated to British. (Colin Macrae for example is a British rally driver)
If someone sucks and is English, they drop down to British (Martin Brundle for example, it even says so on his wiki)
If someone sucks and comes from another country, they keep the title of thier country. (Eddie Irvine, yeah suck it Irvine)

BrandonW77 · Dec 22 2011, 12:17 PM #411

^ Thank you for the clarification, I'll update my notes.

Lots of stuff included that wasn't mentioned in the the release notes.

I guess before I jump off the deep end, I should ask if anybody here does NOT have Spa? If everyone has it we can keep it on the schedule, otherwise it will probably have to be removed.

I have it now that the family pack is released.

Diabolical_J

Does anyone know how this DLC track change effects other accounts? If I bought the DLC tracks on one account and I switch over to another account, can I use those DLC tracks, or do I have to buy them on every account I plan on using?

They have a free family upgrade if you buy the cars or tracks. So yes you can use tracks on both accounts.

BrandonW77

I added a couple holiday treats to the OP.

I hope all of you guys and your family/friends have a safe and happy holidays, how ever you may celebrate them!

Inspired by the season, I recently created a couple fantastic custom snow tracks. if anybody would be interested in getting together this evening for some holiday AWD snow racing/shenanigans, let me know!

Sounds good. Let us know.

Right when I think I'm about to go overboard with my racing setup, I find this.

And this:

You need to be punished for your mispelling of the great Mcrae!

If only he were English, then I would care enough to look him up, but alas he is only British.

Enough faux pomp, I can't see Brandon's images at work, what are they?

If there is an English person and say a Scottish person in a competition, the Scottish person will always be described as Scottish until the English person gets knocked out of the competion and then they will be promoted# to being British. If they then go on to get knocked out, they will be relegated# back to Scottish

# By the English commentators.##

## The commentators retain the right to claim to be Irish should no other home country competitors remain.

The rivalries from back home seem to become comradeship over here. I guess we unite against the common enemy, Quebec!

Menown · Dec 22 2011, 5:41 PM #419

What time is the snow driving going on? Any restrictions on cars?

BrandonW77 · Dec 22 2011, 6:19 PM #420

^ I'll be ready on by 7:30 EST.

Let's start with 450pp AWD and go from there.

We'll do it in the ORCA_Champ lounge.
