I’ll say St Croix simply because I am silly fast as Dragon Trail Seaside and I’d like you lot to have a small chance.

The Splint-o-Matic mod to prevent sprains and breaks when using ladders please ....oh, and some fire proof overalls for horde nighting with Lee 😂😂 On a more serious note, animal fat for cooking please....if you see a carcass on the ground showing bones, you should be able to get animal fat from it with a hunting knife. Thanks 👍

I watched this and it was a great game. Leicester looked brilliant and Vardy was certainly worth his hattrick. Don't be put off by the 2 pens he took because his all round play couldn't be handled by Man City. For Pep they were saying this is his first 5th year tenure at a club so it'll be very interesting to see where he goes from here. The shine of 'Pep The Great' could be dismantled somewhat if he spends too much time at the club and they stagnate for some years. Can't help but feel City are in a transition period though so Man City fans and others shouldn't expect them to dominate like they have in previous years.

First images supposedly leaked - looks like a 3rd person space game. Hopefully this isn't running on the Fallout 2 engine😎

Switching between 3rd and 1st person is a thing with Fallout so I wouldn't say we learn much from this. This is from 2018 apparently if it's true, but to be quite frank I don't expect to see this game for a while, or whether they will get their act together and make a good game at all😁

Let's find a way of trying to see the entire map from all of our screenshots. The map is fecking HUGE and we'll likely need everyone's help to post their pics of what they've discovered so we can work out whats left to discover. It may help when we want to explore further areas and need essential resources, including building mini-bases to move between. I'm sure someone like @tronic44 or @Greboth can use their skills then to bring the pictures together to make one almighty map! I'd suggest using the Snipping Tool on your PC, selecting the picture of just the map with the co-ordinates, and then copying directly into here. I'll try and do some examples later today.

Nice one Macca, you should get yourself an Intro down here in the Intros section so we can all say hi properly! Btw, we aren't the sweaty type. I mean, we like to try and win ofc but its just a good laugh more than anything. Don't expect Ronaldo's at every corner 🤣

I'm definitely down for joining!!! Got an 88 rated player and can play anywhere in midfield or upfront. Do you guys just play on Mondays or other days too?

Yeah, I agree with Greeb, let’s just find out by exploring 👍

Lee mentioned set up but for the most part I'd ignore that. Setups make a difference but for most of the racing you're likely to do in GT sport, Balance of Power (BoP) will be on and as such locks you to the default setup. Further to that, setups can get you the last few percent but most of your time difference will be race craft. To give some quantification to that, all my times set in the time trials and races we've had have all been on the default set up. Some of these may be grandma sucking eggs but I'd rather include things you already know than miss something. So some basic tips; - Corners are about taking the biggest arc you can through them as the bigger arc you can take, the faster you go. So make sure you're taking the outside-inside-outside line; if it's a right hand bend, start the corner as left as you can, turn in to clip the apex of the corner and let the car run back to left hand side of the track on the corner exit - If you turn in and have to change your steering (so straighten or turn tighter) your turn in point is likely incorrect. You want to turn in and maintain the steering angle until you straighten up out of the corner. - The above also applies to throttle and brake. Ideally you should hit the brakes once, turn in once and get on the throttle once. If you find you need to get back on the brakes then you braked too late or need to carry some brake pressure in to the corner*, get back on the throttle early to maintain apex speed then you braked too much, if you're on throttle, off throttle, on , off on then you're either getting on throttle too earlier or too sharply. -Use manual gears too - Every game (or almost every, there's always going to be an exception) is slower when using automatic gears. And some specifically for GT Sport; - GT Sport has several method for learning tracks and I would recommend not using the racing line as it's a crutch and it'll teach you bad habits. The best in my opinion is the cones; these puts cones around the track as the outside apex, inside apex and outside apex with a pair of cones being used before corners for the braking point. The gear indicator will also flash red when it thinks you've passed the braking point with the number being the gear it thinks you should use. Generally these are a bit conservative but while you're learning they're a good starting point. As you learn a car and track combo you'll learn which braking zones you can take later, which corners you take fast enough to be in a higher gear etc. - Turn down Traction control (TC). GT spot is horrible in it's implementation of TC and it can cost seconds per lap. If you're not comfortable jumping straight to no TC, turn it down as low as your comfortable then as you get more experience, turn it down 1 more, then another until you're only using 1 or none. With a controller, I'd recommend the maximum being 1 but only for Gr3 and above and maybe some of the fast road cars like N800 or above. - As Lee said, you can see your best sector times and your best lap time by pressing left or right on the dpad to cycle through the options. You can then keep an eye on your lap times each lap as you experiment to see which lines are faster (or slower). *Time is won (or lost) by minimum apex speeds; that is the slowest point of each corner. In a perfect world, you brake all the way to the apex of the corner and as soon as you hit the apex you start applying throttle to accelerate out. This is called trail braking and it is hard, and I mean HARD, to do well. A tyre has a maximum amount of grip; for road cars this is typically about 1g (race cars are more on slicks and especially so with downforce). Sticking to 1g though, this 1g can be used for braking or cornering. With trail braking the aim is to do both but it's a balancing act. The straight before a corner you're using 0g for turning, as you turn in this will increase and at the apex you'll be using the whole 1g for corner. As you straighten up on corner exit, this will again reduce back to 0g cornering. I'm making up figures here for demonstration purposes but at initial turn in you might be using 0.25g of the tyres grip for cornering, halfway from turn in to apex 0.5g and 3/4th to the apex 0.75g before hitting your full 1g at the apex. As the tyre can manage 1 g total then you can use the remaining 0.75g, 0.5g and 0.25g respectively for braking. Brake to hard or steer too much and you exceed the 1g and will understeer, brake too little and then you'll potentially going too fast and run wide - either way costing you time. Also if you want, when you've set a good time for combo save the recording and upload the video here. I'll happily take a look at it and point out where you're losing time. Or alternatively, say what combo you're doing and I'll record a lap so you can see the lines, braking points, gears etc. that I use.

Surely that will reveal the whole world rather than just where we’ve been? Which would ruin the point of exploring. @GazzaGarratt I’m happy to do it. It will take several snips to cover the areas peope have been to. But if people post as many snips as required (with a little overlap so I can piece them together). I can overlay all our maps to make a combined one. As we explore more, if people provide updates I can keep the overall map updated too.

There is now a new chanel on youtube that offers gaming videos on Farming Simulator 19. Even if your a gamer on the genre yourself, check it out, you might learn something new!

Thank you for sharing, Hakuna Matata. No worries to you too! There seemed to be lacking some serious overall gameplay without Goats, so I managed to find the right YouTube video that you clearly were trying to recommend. I now agree, this game looks real life and is amazing at how Goats can get words out! 😎

You can change the bottom right display to show sector times. I think you press right on the D-Pad. That's how I try and help myself understand where I need to work on the lap times. Outside of that, i've been lucky that when i practiced, @Greboth or @phil bottle were on so i could ask how their sector times were working out. Outside of that, there might be a leaderboard with the best sector times in the world that could help? Also, do you fine tune your cars at all? That isn't my bag, other than having BoP on and making sure the tyres are on the relevant tyres (usually Racing Soft for any practice is the best i'm finding). One last thought is also the fact you haven't got many cars to choose from at the start, whereas having multiple cars in each section will definitely help see what you can do with different styles of cars on the same track.

Not sure if i put it up here yet but my wife wanted to start running for her own reasons so as she's never been out or run before i created my own C25K and said i will have her doing 5k before she did 10 runs and in fact she did 5k on her 7th run but will explain below the schedule i created. 1ST run 1.5k with 4 breaks and with each break it was 30 seconds walk then straight back to running. 2ND run 2k this time with 5 breaks again 30 seconds of walking on each break. 3RD run 1.6k this time only 3 breaks again 30 seconds of walking. 4TH run 2.5k with only 2 breaks again 30 seconds of walking. 5TH run 3.3k No breaks but run at a slower pace. 6TH run 4k only 2 breaks standing still for 20 seconds. 7TH run 5k only 2 break 30 seconds stand still. 8TH run 5k only 2 breaks 25 seconds stand still. 9TH run 3k this one was to work on pace no breaks. 10TH run 5k her first without any breaks. But the one thing that helped her was the motivation and instructions to which one she was not understanding where i was telling her to slow down as going at a faster pace you can't prolong the distance but now she understands that after going out today for a 5k and i gave no instructions only the route.

Man City 2-5 Leicester Hoffenheim 4-1 Bayern What a crazy day!

LOL Oxford United's coach stalled by alcohol spray WWW.BBC.CO.UK Problems getting to an away game were down to a safety device on the club's bus, the head coach says.

Looks very Elder Scrolls Oblivion-esque doesn't it @J4MES OX4D ? Not sure where i'd find the time to play something like this!

I’ll try to get on saturday or sunday, maybe both even. @GazzaGarratt yeah PUBG has taken over 😅 But it’s just so fun!
