  1. That's a challenge our retired plumber surely has to rise to, no? [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  2. Happy days[emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  3. Of course they're going to charge for it. We should get an FG 3d printer and make our own, would probably be cheaper [emoji28] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  4. No, just in Arcade in single player. Soz for the confusion [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  5. All of your previous times on each track are saved, it shows them by class. Get some times in! I think it was just a borked link, he was ok to get in last night, cheers! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  6. Nice one, this is useful, and cheers for jumping on AC last night [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  7. I need to work out the braking zones and best line still, carrying too much speed into that downhill and then late braking for example is costing me, but not just that[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  8. I've never raced at Imola before, never mind with a wheel..but I've managed 7 laps today in the Lambo and clocked 1.56 so far. As I get used to it I'm sure that time will reduce drastically. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  9. lol yeah 2.18 [emoji28] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  10. Not sure but likely after 9pm. I'll send you a message tonight! In GT Sport, I've done a 2:28.850 in the GT-R. I'm using traction control at 2, so may have to switch that to 0 if I want to improve, will see! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  11. I saw a chap on Steam I know playing Assetto recently, he plays it using VR, so I've told him of this. We're going to share a server, not exactly sure how that works, and do some Lambo laps tonight if you fancy @Greboth Also, @GazzaGarratt I tried to invite him to FG Discord but he said he got an invalid message, do I need any special privilege to do that? Thought i could do it lol
  12. I wonder if the racist Burnley fans flying over the ground had an impact on morale. Meanwhile Foden looks like he is going to be a big star. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  13. Can't say I ever tried it to be honest 😀
  14. Had my first foray back into EFT this week, for quite some time. I fancied a session and as there's just been a wipe, my character was back to level 1 with not much in the way of equipment. As an early backer I do get some high end weapons and gear but I never use these except for fun in practice sessions versus the AI only. I'm not happy enough with my knowledge of some of the newer maps so I jumped into Customs with an AK47u and a few meds. I also happen to have a mission to complete on that map. Kill 5 Scavs and retrieve 3 MP133 shotguns. Checking my watch I have 40 minutes in which to find nice gear and extract. I've spawned in a factory in the far west side of the map. The factory has some areas I can search for loot, so I crouch my way round making as little noise as possible. While I do find some random stuff I quickly realise I forgot to bring a backpack with me. Its not the end of the world, there are backpacks to be had if you know how. Meantime I hear heavy gunfire outside the factory. Sounds like M4 versus SVD. Humans then and not Scavs. Unless it's a human versus the Scav boss and his henchmen. I then hear some noise at the end entrance to the factory. Human player with an SVD. I'm trying to decide what to do, his gun is better and he probably has a scope, but he runs out again and I hear more gunfire. I wait a minute, then hear more gunplay, but further away now. Time to move. I use the same exit as the chap I saw and head outside, intending to head east towards better loot areas and the extracts. I don't go far when I see a player or Scav in the grassy area through the fence. I pop off a few shots, it's about 250 metres and the AK maybe hits but the guy runs and hides. I move on, reload. Carry on down the road and find another Scav, he hits the deck to shoot at me but I get him first. I go to loot him, he has a backpack, nice. Take his AKM too and ammo but I get shot at while I'm looting. Don't know where the shots are coming from so I make a break for some cover behind a small truck but take hits to the left leg, arm and chest. I had no armour so lucky not to be dead. I use some meds to stop the bleeding and then run for a small building, the gas station shop. I enter the back entrance and hide in the stock area while I finish healing and take the time to reload my mags, which is slow. I hear some shuffling in the shop area and ready my AK. A Scav, and by his movements, a human one, tries to rush me...but at short range the AK takes out his thorax and he is dispatched. I go to loot him but then I hear some noise outside the shop. Another Scav comes in shooting and appears to have level 3 body armour so I aim for the face, and it pays off. Up until this point I've been mostly spending my time in this session shitting myself. A lot of sound whoring in this game, so the volume is ramped up. It's mental. I'm elated now, pleased with myself and feeling the feeling only Tarkov brings. Also, one of the chaps i killed was carrying the Marked Room key. Which is like the key to the candy shop in Tarkov. Luckiest find I have ever had. So fucking happy, but more stress😅 And now, I check the time, it's red, 9 minutes left to find an extract. There are two extracts not too far but they have question marks and might not be available, the guaranteed extracts are in the far east of the map. I judge I have enough time to try them all. I also hope there's not many other players still in the map as I will be taking chances and running. I try the two closest extracts but they're no longer available. Running out of time, 3 minutes left I sprint across the bridge over the river towards the trailer park. Crouch walking now in case there's anyone camping it but no, nobody about and I extract with some excellent loot and rank up to level 2. Such a great game.
  15. The benefits of Hackney is that we know where there be blood, there be demons , blud.
  16. In GT Sport I have done a 2.18 in the McLaren -BMW but that was done a while ago. Tonight I just had time for two laps and tried the Beetle. Best was 2:19.860 and neither lap was smooth as I'm very rusty on it. Classic circuit and it's a very busy track! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  17. Just to say that you ran the session really well and made it a very enjoyable experience. Thanks a lot for putting in the time and effort mate, definitely worth it and appreciated[emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

  23. until
    Not looking for anything in particular to buy but I'll pick up a bargain if I see one. Steam Summer Sale starts this Thursday.
  24. Roy Keane was mental at half time, a bit too much I think, he seemed drunk. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
  25. The sequel is delayed so I thought I'd try out the 16 year old original. To get it to work and look good I've had to install some patches one of which makes it a standalone separate to Steam. I'll report back here how I find it but liking it a lot so far. Here's Gopher playing it.
