I think the issue I have with it, is that I look at Excel being a genius and that it should just know that I want the number of days between Date A and Date B. No convoluted methods or arcane calculations - just a simple number. Then it gets to be an arse and tells me the result is 08/03/1900...

Thought that was a typo at first! Would have been a much better card if they had managed to allow a single GPU to access the 4GB of memory, rather than the 2x2GB for each GPU. Still, that card and its twin allowed me to nab one of my rarest Steam achievements, I reckon? :)

Hi all, Another simple one (and surprisingly, I've not vented with this yet!) - just with regards to a days passed calculation. I've basically got a column like so:- Due Finished 22/07/2021 20/08/2021 03/09/2021 28/07/2021 13/08/2021 27/08/2021 And would just like a column next to it that...

Only the brick and stone textures on the Caterham pic, let it down a bit. Probably more noticeable with the rest of the image being so impressive.

Yep, perhaps one of the most inappropriate game titles that I can think of in recent years. Took a punt on it, even with it retaining its fairly high price tag and not really having a clue as to what to expect. It’s an open world sandbox game that has a shedload of user content and plenty of...

@SharkyUK @McGherkin @Silent_Scone - what settings do you guys recommend in Content Manager to improve the background scenery overall? I tend to notice that mine looks quite bland compared to some video clips. I am limited to running on a GTX 1080 currently - but have the benefit of not using...

Cheers - just downloaded that now. :)

Jagged Alliance is currently free on Steam, but a bit long in the tooth. However, the excellent Diablo-clone of Titan Quest Anniversary Edition is also free on Steam. Works very well in the LAN/co-op setup and although not as graphically pretty as Diablo 3, I do think it is the better game.

Maybe create an AE86 tofu delivery plug-in for it? ;)

Not sure why and maybe I'm doing the bloke a disservice - but JK always strikes me as being a monumental c**k. The fact that he has any passion for cars is perhaps his only redeeming quality. Hopefully I'm completely wrong on that.

If anyone was still interested in this on PC, it's currently at the bargain price of 59p on cdkeys....

That's the main reason why I went for the GT Track setup mate. It was a good 'halfway house' between a entry level setup and a professional bit of kit that has optional expansions including motion platforms. The latter as well you know are horrendously expensive - I think I've seen one motion...

Still impresses me that you manage to drive the car like that @SharkyUK with a mere gamepad! I'd suspect that with a proper wheel setup, you'd enjoy it a hell of a lot more.

Signed up to his Patreon offerings. :)

@McGherkin - is the Shutoko Revival Project still going? I had a look into that yesterday, but it pointed me to that insidious bloatware of Discord again, so I didn't go any further. I think I'd rather install AOL Online onto my PC than that shite.

Looks great that Andy - was that against actual players or the AI? I'll have to nab that rain mod - I take it that it works with Sol? I've been having a dabble with Content Manager and it's a cracking piece of front-end software. I was a bit sceptical about paying the developer a token gesture...

I can't recall if this was a standard feature of AC, or an additional one from the Content Manager. Either way, it's a bit good. :) Had a quick bash with the Alfa V6 on Monza yesterday. I'm getting used to the Variante Ascari section, but repeatedly hopeless at the Variante del Rettifilo at...

@John Gordon - did you ever get a PC sorted out for dabbling with this as it looks like you originally got AC for the PS4 on your thread?

Got various stuff downloaded now - mainly based off overall rating. Higher rated/high popularity ones I nabbed - think it's 35 in total at the minute - the majority are cars, but a couple of tracks and sounds thrown in too. Also got the licence to unlock the Content Manager for AC too - but...

Lol… https://www.thedrive.com/news/42295/cant-afford-a-classic-pininfarina-well-its-racing-simulator-isnt-much-cheaper

This could get pricey - thankfully I'm not that bothered by F1/Indycar type cars at all. That 'should' save me some money...

At the risk of sounding blasphemous - how accurate are the AC stock models in terms of speed? I've found that I'm struggling in gaining on cars during long stretches (such as Highlands Long) with the 787B. That's not against other racing cars as such - but mere modified ones. It didn't set...

I remember ordering my 182 having never sat in a Clio before and at 6' 1" thinking "WTF have I just done?" £12.2k mine cost.

I think what works with button boxes though is that you can either scribble at the side of them as to what they do - or just tear off a bit of post-it note for the realism look! 😄

This is dangerous. It also led me to SimHub and button boxes, which I'm very keen on learning more about. Would love to assign random switches and buttons to something on one of these button boxes.

Do need to invest in some mods over the vanilla offerings now though.

I’d have dead arms!

Went a bit indulgent last week and bought myself the GT Track seat and mount - along with the TV/monitor stand. Only put it together today and could do with making some adjustments. But it is a wonderful piece of kit that sits nicely in the box room. Haven’t done any cable management or...

I'd suggest exactly the same. My tailpipes were proper sooty and the upstream sensor was shot. Got it replaced and all was good afterwards.

Welcome! Apologies for the dumb question - but the 'oval shale track' - is that some form of rally event?
