    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Jumped in earlier with a basic Time Trial on a stage of Argentina that I had not yet run on. Very tricky.... Several mistakes were made along the way with a proper c**k-up towards the end. Still good fun though. :) Captured the replay below.

    Battlefield 4

    For me, BF2142 was the pinnacle - though that was a PC exclusive. They got the balance of progression, skill and lack of three million pointless trinkets just right. BF2 was also up there for me, but I don’t think I’ve played a demo version of a game to death, like I did with the original...

    Battlefield 4

    Feel like as intuitive as eating soup with chopsticks. I just can’t get the dexterity, smoothness and precision with a pad compared to K&M.

    Battlefield 4

    I have absolutely no idea how on god’s Earth, you can aim like that with a controller!

    Bit of a niche question - Partner on your insurance

    Strange to randomly have this thrown into the mix though? I'm wondering if less concern is given to married couples, compared to simply partners or girlfriends? My wife (and previously as girlfriend) has always been insured on the 182. When the car was revamped and modded to circa 200bhp...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'll get it at some point - certainly in no rush this side of Christmas to get it. Let the other thousands of players find and report the bugs for me :)

    Phase 1 172 - A Lovely Tit.....Or a bottomless Pit?

    Fate has brought you two together. Do the right thing and save this one as well. You'll end up being the crazy cat lady of your area - but instead of hoarding felines, it will be Clios.

    Free games thread

    Two good RPGs being given away tomorrow on Epic. Tyranny is a nice twist on the usual good vs. evil storyline as this time, you're out to subjugate and oppress as many people as possible.

    TopGear over in Stockport. Not that far from you?

    Best video editing software (free)

    You get 7 days free with Lightworks, then register to simply extend your ownership. As per usual with stuff like this, you pay for more features and functionality - but the basic freebie might be up to the task? https://www.lwks.com/

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    I’ve not tried either iRacing or Rfactor - so I couldn’t really comment. However, if you’re after a decent racing sim with very good visuals and even better audio, this is the pick for me - especially if you have access to a wheel and pedals setup. It seems to balance the difficulty of...

    24/27” Gaming Monitor. Who’s got which...

    I've got the previous gen to this one - running at a mere '144hz', lol. https://rog.asus.com/Monitors/27-to-31-5-Inches/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q-Model/ I could never not have a technology like G-Sync with gaming now. I've been fortunate enough to have had this monitor for over 4 years and I'm still...

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    ACC is a great game all round - but the audio really is what excels in this game. I don't know how they have quite made it sound intimidating, if that's the right word? But flat out and with decent headphones on, you feel the urge to back off because something's going to blow! ;)

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Not sure if you've noticed but the there's a headphones profile within the audio options. I normally have all PC audio through my headphones anyway and with this enabled, it definitely sounded 'richer'. Really like the combination of the Perth & Kinross section, along with the Legacy. Got it...

    NorthloopCup likes a challenge, right?

    Who the hell designs some of this crap? Fewer things trigger me quicker than blatantly s**t design. I get that in some circumstances, space, time and options are limited. But when it's obvious mongoloid f**k-wittery that has led to the Hulk Smash scenario right in front of me - rage induces...

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Some of the RWD cars I find to be virtually uncontrollable! I also prefer the lower spec cars - you feel like you're actually ragging every last drop of performance out of them - and getting a controlled drift is so rewarding. The Group B monsters are pure, unbridled chaos in comparison.

    Compression test. ..advice and next steps?

    Yep - that's what affected mine. I had a new set of Supertech valves put in mine during the rebuild.

    Microsoft Office Update - Now unable to open Apps.

    It's hard to believe just what a s**t-show the Microsoft Store app is. You can't see items installed. Then there's 35 apps waiting to be updated. Then they try to flog you stuff that's years out of date and way overpriced. And they are still pushing Candy Crush?! So, so poor. And now O365...

    Giving a 172 Cup some TLC

    Owning a 172 Cup and living in Central Scotland with those types of roads around you? Pretty much a perfect combination! Great thread!

    25 Years Ago Today...

    Totally agree with that. You'll get the obvious talent of the likes of Hamilton and his F1 siblings - but proportionally, I think a rally driver would do better behind the wheel of an F1 car, than an F1 driver would do on a rally stage. There's a lot more car control with rallying where...

    @Toddy86 - this thread might help? Might just be a missing fuse as mentioned? https://cliosport.net/threads/stereo-permanent-live-help.608234/

    Now that makes it far more interesting. Coupling/de-coupling trailers too? ;)

    System thoughts - Adobe Creative Cloud and Blender?

    Cheers Ben - interesting that the gfx card you mention is very low on memory (in today's standards). I wonder if the 24GB of system RAM and the Mac architecture/OS to begin with, help out significantly?
