That Trucks book looks quite good to be able to set up an FG conglomerate. Had a play at lunch time and got VR set up and working. I only drove around the block but works well and it's far easier driving through much harder when needing to use the keyboard for a shortcut. I also have to use a beta version so potentially would mess up if we want an online session but will have to test that when we're all online.

I'd like to apply to be an affiliate of FG Worldwide Company Name: Whorelidge Direct Headquarters - Brummie, UK (because best City 😄) Owner - @Greboth Favorite Truck - Iveco Stralis (It's the only one I own currently so default favorite) Slogan - Prices to satisfy all your needs @phil bottle I know I've got a different wheel but it set up easy on mine and I know Carl is using his G29 too. I did some googling the other day too and apparently with some tweaking, it's possible to get it working in VR too so I'll be trying that at some point 😄

Shocker that consuming something in massively excessive quantities is bad for.

It's easy enough to remember which is which but throws me at first glance until I remember which is which. Renaming would probably help but that's effort and I cba 😄

Only in the main menu does it show the correct gun. When selecting your class in game, each guns silhouette is the base gun. It’s rather annoying when you duplicate a class with a marksman rifle. Having one with iron sights and the other with a scope and not knowing which is which in game.

I can’t wait for hardcore to rank up the battle rifles. I don’t get why they made them so terrible. As the guns are, there’s space for the BR’s to fit in better than AR’s at range but not so good as snipers. Yet the recoil puts them about as good as SMG’s.

You really should, the default settings are (were) nowhere near the recommend ones in that article and it looks so much better. If nothing else, you definitely should look up the game settings as, like most modern TV's, the default is to have all the motion smoothing, sharpening etc. on which ruins response time.

Same TV that I have. I can’t say I’ve noticed the extra fps really but the HDR is fantastic when watching Prime/Netflix. When are you taking delivery of it? Assuming you don’t have any calibration equipment, there’s some good recommended setting here: LG C2 OLED Calibration Settings - RTINGS.com WWW.RTINGS.COM

Well apart from the breach of the cost cap. It’s a shame, Max is fast and well deserved this year but again, through no fault of his own, his championship this year has another asterisk against it. We’ll never know how much was spent on this years car so there’ll always be some doubt. Ignoring that though Max would have probably won it anyway thanks to Ferrari’s mid season “strategy” and somehow being absoutely nowhere as we approach the end of the season. Merc look like they’ve found some pace now though and apparently know what’s wrong with their car. So maybe we can actually have a 3 way fight next year.

Thanks for updating the table, it's good to see where we all stand 🙂 I'm happy to miss next week as the TV I'll be bringing is the one off my rig. So it means I could take off the frame while I'm off on Thursday rather than needing to rush Friday morning. It's things like this that make me think you race like I do by being more competitive when you're not thinking about driving. As the more you practise the more you seem to think about it and cock it up. Whatever though, it's great to see you topping the table and fighting for podiums most weeks 🙂

I’m going to post this ignoring the partying up and regular crashing bugs. They really shouldn’t be in a game of this size but hopefully they can be patched quickly and they don’t really effect gameplay. So let’s start with the bad as we all like a good moan. - Maps, or more specifically the border crossing map. It has to be contender for the worst CoD map ever made. - Gun customisation is just a mess and over complicated. Why do I need to level up a battle rifle to get a scope for the M4? - Talking about a mess and over complicated the UI definitely makes the bad list for me. Why when starting a match do I press triangle to look at the gamemodes selected but then have to press square to change? Why doesn’t triangle take you straight in to the gamemode selection? and that is assuming you somehow noticed from the prompt to press triangle at top left corner to the prompt to press squaee in the bottom corner. Or why are camo’s in the gunsmith? I kinda get why but it the extra steps seems unnecessary when you’re going to look in there regularly for challanges and progress. - I still don’t like the perk system in this but guess we’re stuck with it That’s enough morning for me though so the good. - Maps, outside of the border crossing, are good in my opinion. - Guns so far seem well balanced and nothing stands out as being too OP. I’d also add that guns feel different too. Some previous CoD’s smg’s have had such range and accuracy they made AR’s redundant. But this has the balance of different guns being best in different situations and ranges. Movement - I like the movement and so far there seems to have been a huge reduction in jumpy slidey around corner twats. Whether that will change as SBMM kicks in more we shall see but first impressions are positive.

Reading about this on other discussion boards, quite a few people said they were already using ExtremeRate back buttons. So I thought I’d give them a go and so far so good. If you want to be able use L3/R3 or the touchpad button on the back buttons you need to do some soldering. Otherwise it’s basically disassemble the controller, replace a couple of ribbon cables and put it back together with their back on. I went for the 2 button version as only really care about jump and duck being. I fitted it yesterday in about 40 mins and only tested everything works but so far so good.

I was only thinking the other day while playing OW2 that I miss my back buttons. But that price is steep!!! Though it could be worth it in the long term. I went through 6 ps4 controllers and all went in the bin due to stick issues. If I could have spent £20 on new sticks rather than £60 a controller, it would have saved me £240. So suddenly the price, along with the extra features, doesn’t seem so bad.

I was really looking forward to it and was ready to pick it up but the mediocre reviews and issues put me off. With 20% it might be worth getting though.

The kinda is actually. Once you’ve done enough to unlock sport mode. If you enter a Gr3 race you can choose rent a car. Which will allow you to pick any Gr3 car. It’s not ideal as if you try out a bad car it can hurt your DR rating. So it depend you care about that.

That's not a fair comparison, it's more akin to Gran Turismo without being able to change your paint job. In which case, yes I would still buy and defend it. I can say this definitively because most PC racing sims have all the cars unlocked, a few liveries which you can't add to or get more, and no progression because there's no credits or whatever to earn like Gran Turismo as there's no need to buy cars. The "progression" is simply your stats screen of how many races you've entered, how many pole positions, fastest laps, wins etc. For the record, I'm not defending the business practice itself just arguing against there being no value to the game because you can't unlock some shitty cosmetic skins, emotes or stickers that you'll never use anyway. Put it this way, when you go to the cinema do you go to enjoy the film or do you go just because they give you a sticker after the film? I going to assume they don't give you a sticker for attending the cinema but, if they did, would it really make it a better experience?

It was a good race, annoying to have messed up so I couldn't see my fuel as it hampered how fast I could go though thanks to Lee and you battling, taking each other off and getting penalties did make it much easier. Willow springs is always a good race as that last corner is a pain! The few times I've raced it for the cafe books/circuit experience it seems harder on 7 than sport. Maybe I just need more practise 😄

What?! There's a whole game for free on offer but let's focus on the fact there's no "progression" to collect useless cosmetic items. I find it even funnier given the "progression" in OW1 was non-existent too (compared to games such as CoD, for example).

Am I the only that just doesn’t care? I am honestly struggling to understand why people are getting so wound up over the price of cosmetic items. If you don’t like the price, here’s a novel idea, don’t buy any skins. Do people really care that much about what their character looks like? I’m here to play a game, not look in the mirror. If that game comes for free then I’m all for it and am happy to enjoy the game even if I’m in default skins because it’s exactly the same game as people who do spend money on it.

I didn't read this until late last night but I got on for an hour or so last night. There was a queue to get in but that only took a couple of minutes then the game played fine. The new push the robot is good but not fully sure how it works as seems sometimes you're escorting a robot but other times, defending it from the enemies escorting it. But it's mostly it's the same as OW1 with a few changes to some of the hero's. The biggest changes I've noticed so far is Bastion - turning in to a turret is now an ability so you can only be a mini gun for a short while but you can also move as a turret. He also can't heal any more and has a noob tube and his ultimate is a 3 shot stationary artillery strike rather than his super canon thing of OW1. Zarya has a useful change too as she now has 2 bubbles so could be a lot more useful tank.

How could you miss the best one, Kris Kristofferson! So good he's named it twice!

Ok turns out it was actually set to hard but I don’t know why. I set it back to normal but every server restart it goes back to hard. I changed it in game, which should change the server too. But think I’ll have to try changing it in the control panel or manually changing the server properties.

I'd put a lot of the blame at the feet of cross play & cross gen. Old generations, it always seemed the first 6-12 months were a slow uptake but this would swell until the vast majority of people upgraded. With more and more games supporting cross play and cross gen, there's less reason to upgrade when you can play the same games with the same friends just with slightly worse graphics. I disagree on this, Moore's law might not strictly apply these days we're still roughly following it which means continued advancements in computational power. The problem is how that power is being used; I will be getting the new CoD but, outside of the graphics, is there anything actually in the game that couldn't have been done 2, or more, generations ago? Generally speaking all we've seen of more power, both CPU and GPU, is better graphics and bigger open world maps. There's been little advancements in leveraging the processing power to make better games; things like object permanence or our actions having impacts on the game world outside of a few predefined story paths.

I can’t remember which MR2 you have but there is an SW20 in GT7.
