Ah that's good to know, I'll switch it on then in that case. I plan to be on it more often and I've left my pedals set up under my desk for quick access.

I had a few goes on Sunday. I think there's a few glitches as I tried to load up my career mode and it all went a bit loopy. Championship seems fine though, unlike my driving on the wheel. No traction control and I have a tendency still to either get on the power too early or misjudge which turns I can keep the power on. But I'll keep on it and learning the tracks better will help too I think. Great fun though🙂

That's not a problem @Mikepjbell to swap the races but I'd get your practice laps in beforehand as we might not have much time for it. With changing days, that might be tricky but let's see how we are in the new year. Some days are not possible right now for me, eg I play D&D on Tuesdays...but that might change, so let us know what days work for you and then everyone can have their say.

It's good for learning g to fly the helicopters or for a chill match without dealing with sweaties. I've also found the portal browser very straightforward and set up my own version of Rush on the BF3 maps. It's very cool.

Yeah man, @Diddums PC has a rare bug whereby eventhough it's pretty beefy, its only compatible with two games, Planetside 2 and World of Wankcraft🙄😅

Love this guy's videos.

The new trailer featuring Nurgle is a thing to behold 😍

I saw this, maybe some ACC this weekend👍

It used to be Mike that I'd worry about but lately I wake up in a cold sweat following all too real dreams of Lee in my rearview mirror. 😁 Good races last night, after a bad start I found myself in 4th with Lee hassling me and Mike 6.5 seconds ahead. After a couple of laps, Lee fell away after fluffing turn one and I was slowly reeling Mike in. I'd pulled back 3 and a half seconds but then almost crashed when I saw Mike crash ahead of me. 3rd place again🙂 @JBR-Kiwi was clearly quickest but in his battle with @Greboth he had a little mishap and Greebs pulled away to win the spoils. Apologies to @slamminbones who I did accidentally nudge at one point early on😉

Yeah, hopefully that's the last game in a Spurs shirt for some of these duds. I have BT Sport but haven't watched a single game all the way through in this crappy tournament, the players clearly can't motivate themselves for it.

Patch notes Update #2 will be available on November 25, and brings a set of balance changes for vehicles and weapons, and fixes for critical bugs we found during the Early Access week of November 12. For vehicles such as the LCAA Hovercraft, MD540 Nightbird, KA-520 Super Hokum and AH-64GX Apache Warchief we’ve made adjustments that brings them more in line with other vehicles. On the weapon front, you can expect increased recoil for the PP-29, and more consistent bullet spread for most weapons. We also fixed several critical bugs we noticed were preventing a consistent game experience. These fixes include situations where you could not be revived or respawn as intended. Once this update is in your hands we’ll follow with Update #3 which is tentatively set for deploy next week. It will be our biggest update so far and provides a larger and more substantial set of changes, including performance enhancements, balance changes, and further QoL improvements. For an early look at that, check out our blog from yesterday. The full update notes are available below Update 0.2.2 FIXES, CHANGES, AND IMPROVEMENTS Bullet spread has been reduced on all weapons except Shotguns. This should result in better accuracy during gameplay Increased PP-29 vertical recoil to ensure that the weapon does not overperform when engaging outside of its intended combat range Resolved an issue where players who were killed close to obstacles such as walls or water were unable to be revived Resolved instances where players were stuck in a downed state and unable to respawn. We’ve also introduced a hidden timer that will activate after 30 seconds of being in a downed state that will force a redeploy should it be required MD540 Nightbird Mounted 20mm Cannons - we are reducing the radius at which bullets do damage upon impact, and decreasing their splash damage Reduced Blast Radius size from 3 to 2 Reduced Inner Blast Radius damage from 1.5 to 0.75 KA-520 Super Hokum - 30mm Cannon (side mount) - we are reducing overall damage and range at which bullets do full damage, while increasing the overall bullet spread Reduced Blast Radius from 2 to 1.6 Reduced Blast Damage from 20 to 14 Reduced bullet damage before Damage Fall Off starts 18 to 15 Reduced Damage Fall Off distance from 200 to 180 Reduced bullet damage at max Fall Off distance from 8 to 6 Increased bullet range and spread AH-64GX Apache Warchief and KA-520 Super Hokum - 30mm Cannon - we are reducing the radius at which bullets do damage upon impact, and decreasing their splash damage Reduced Blast Damage from 20 to 18 Increased the Damage Fall Off for enemies that are further away from the bullet impact center We reduced the overall damage of the Minigun for all Land Vehicles, alongside bullet damage drop off now starting earlier Reduced bullet damage before Damage Fall Off starts from 18 to 13 Reduced Damage Fall Off distance from 60 to 40 Reduced bullet damage at max Fall Off distance to 6 Equipped armor type for the LCAA Hovercraft has been adjusted which increases it’s vulnerability against different weapon types Battlefield Portal - UAV-1 The UAV-1 has been re-enabled within Battlefield Portal Greatly reduced health regeneration delay and speed Increased missile damage against vehicles and infantry The drone is now able to roadkill enemies Breakthrough matches will now correctly end after the last sector has been captured Resolved an issue that caused players queued for a match in Battlefield Portal to be sent back to the menu, instead of joining the match when a slot became available Made general improvements to stability to prevent rare occurrences of game crashing

Funnily enough, the start screen does feature naval warships, so I imagine that'll be coming. The game was released for the Christmas dollar and that's becoming the new normal on the industry, and why so many features are missing. There was no way this was going to be released after the biggest spending period of the year. It is what it is. Although I'm now going to have to find a way to top Greeb's use of facetious 😅 I'm playing each evening and I'm enjoying it a lot. There's an update today I believe.

Also: takes far too long too get into a game and portal can only be set up externally on a website rather than in-game. But thankfully I've not experienced any bugs, which is what makes or breaks it for me in the end, so long as there is a game to actually interest me. But yeah, if the shooting feels good then I'm sold. I played last night and I fucking loved it.

Lots of birthdays this week 🙂 Hope all celebrated in style🥳 Have a great day today @J-Lurch 🍻👊😘

There's so many annoying little things that need to be sorted but I have to say I had a blast on Friday, really enjoyed it! 🙂

That's a brilliant find👍

I know, cricket used to be a byword for honour, what happened to that eh😁

Good races last night. I'm cementing my third place overall it seems and apologies, I forgot to do the league table last week and I'll get it up today. Greboth is doing a Lewis Hamilton and clawing the points back from Kiwi, must he better watch out or he'll get Vertstappen'd😅 I will struggle at Autopolis next week 😬

Guess I'll be finding out a little later but that's not a good start, so oh dear, maybe I should have got the console version instead 😅

It's a shame you waited until that before commenting, as it just makes your point seem to come from a reactionary place. I'm talking about confronting things, warts and all. If an employee who feels they are being bullied reports this to the employer, they should be treated seriously. In this case the employer just looked to protect itself. That is the point here. I don't care about the person, I care about the institution doing what it is supposed to do. Let me say this clearly. Sweeping difficult issues under the carpet is nothing less than cowardice.
