Haha!

Funny story - One of the test pilots of the SR-71 Blackbird was up at Duxford Aviation Museum (they have one in the American Aircraft Hangar there) doing a talk at one of the American Air days, and he was talking about a display it flew on the South Coast. Apparently one of the crew made a small error in the navigation calculations and they managed to 'miss' England and hard to turn around over the French coast!

You'll probably be interested in this one when it gets started, Magnum.

2013 GT500

Not been a date set as to when it will be started, but once it does...development seems to go pretty quick with most cars.

Didn't see mention of it, but Build 261's out now. It's a patch on 249/254, so use the Launcher to update.

For the first time, I took the Lotus 49 out at Rouen...I usually run at Imola in the FA's...and all I can say is wow! Set the time of the day to 10AM, made it lightly cloudy going to clearing and ran some laps. Graphically, it is impressive as hell in either DX mode! The tree shadows on the road really make you have to concentrate and really give it a different visual feel than any other racing sim I've tried.

I still don't get the tire feedback I'd like to and that might be due to my settings, but that Cosworth Lotus is a ball, and can be a challenge, to drive. If you haven't tried that combination and ran GPL back in the day, give it a try and have a smile put on your face. While the Lotus 49 doesn't have the same characteristics as the GPL one did, it's still a lot of fun and what a view.

Pumbaa, you have to use the Launcher now.

I used to just download the torrents and install them, but it screwed up royally this last time I had to start using the Launcher to get the correct version. There's instructions on the Download page on "How To" do it correctly now.

I finally downloaded this last weekend and purchased the Junior membership, or whatever it was called, and no matter how I set things up I can't get more than 10 FPS. My computer runs iRacing with everything maxed except shadows and I easily stay above 40 FPS. With all the graphic settings on low or below you'd think it would work ok. And with those settings it looks worse than SimRaceway. (which lasted about an hour before getting uninstalled!)
