Here's a teaser to my bench progress guys. I posted it in my worklog because I was begged to do so (thanks Iceman), so I figure I should update here too:



Remember, this is just a teaser....there's LOADS more that I've done and have proof of it all .

@ Guardian: SWEET! I wish I had the foresight to screen cap my own Post #939 (and every 1000 posts thereafter).

@ pioneer: It seems that you've run into similar post editing gremlins as I have. That's a bit reassuring, knowing I'm not actually living up to my classification of Sr. PEBMAC Specialist.

@ Iceman: Yo, man, we'd love to have you with us! Old friends joining new friends is always a great thing.

@ S939 Club Membership: Today is the DEADLINE FOR RESPONDING TO OUR POLL in our Club-exclusive Contest thread. You have until 7:41PM EST/4:41PM PST to have your say, to decide whether or not there will be any deadline extensions to the contest. After the deadline has passed, I will filter out the illegitimate posts (i.e., votes that will not count because they are from non-Club members or a well-meaning judge posted a vote -- psst! it was pioneer!), and the issue will be settled by the will of the Club members.

That's all for now!

Good day, everyone!

Pioneer, nice scores! Not bad at all for 4-5 year old tech

The good news: I ordered Race 07.

The bad news: No Best Buys near me are in stock, and so I could not get the "ship to store" option and needed to pay shipping.

Grah! It is getting hot and I am getting cranky!

It is 24º C outside, and for some ungodly reason, my A/C's compressor is shut off. I complained to maintenance, but at present, my apartment is 22º C and rising...

Bah!

I would kill for ambients as low as 22 degs C...

Last night at bedtime, my bedroom was at a Scorpion-esque TOASTY 28 degs C.

You are Scorpion. I am Sub-Zero.

We see the problem?

I just got off the phone with management. Seems it is their policy not to turn the A/Cs on until May. However, if we have good weather until Tuesday, they will do so then. Right now, they are worried about frost.

How you get frost at forecast lows of 10º C and forecast highs of 25º C, I have no idea.

How is Race 07 for realism? Like GTR2 or not?

Hmmm...

Interesting point. Hellspawns, even noble ones like me, do have to endure an apartment sans AC if that is the way things are.

It's made by SimBin (just like GTR2), but it's slightly better visually. Realism-wise, well, it's not as good as rFactor (or even F1 Challenge), but still pretty decent. I'd say it's halfway between a full-on sim (like "Live for Speed" reputedly is; I'm thinking of sinking some koin into this game sometime) and an arcade-type racing game.

Regardless, it's good fun!
