guess i'll use your setup next week then, because i'll be picking up my shiny new logitech G27 on the weekend :D

also, just so that no one misses the amazing screenshots of the tweaked lighting engine on the previous page, take a look at this: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=21484236&postcount=780
 
Saw these on the WMD forum, looking great. I have no idea what this live edit suite thing is supposed to be though. If it means we can edit things wont everyone's game look different?
 
If this used to be the case....

When did they change it so that Junior and Team member's don't get the game, only credit towards the game? And what is the price of Full Membership?

It was changed when the majority voted to release it as a boxed product and not a free to play product.

So the Full Member tier was introduced.

i feel dirty
the home of boring racing is not boring to drive around.
besos = aka barcalona is pretty fun
palmer car has a really good setup out the box. just grips like crazy. :D
 
Has anyone had any problems with Formula A custom liveries? They were working perfectly last build but towards the end of that I tried changing the livery and it would just show up as a dark red livery in game, tried multiple liveries and same thing happens, also tried reinstalling after deleting the folder but no change. Any ideas?


EDIT- Never mind. Turns out it's a bug in this build, patch being made for it I believe.

Really thinking about the full member package, just from the screenshots alone I really want to give it a try... Can anybody help with a couple of questions that are holding me back, which the website couldn't answer...?

Support for Crossfire?
Xbox360 control pad - Will this be pointless to use? Is a steering wheel 100% necessary, as I don't have £200 atm for a G27

File sizes and download speeds from their servers?

Works fine with a 360 pad for me, but im crap at driving so I can't tell :p Should be fine to use until you get a wheel though!

Download seemed fine for me... it was running at my max DL speed all the way :)
