I guess in dev world, everyone is a 98 year old lady who has to sit on a small crate just to be able to see out the window.

One of the good things about TrackIR is you can recentre your view in the cockpit to somewhere more sensible, i.e. up and forwards.

News Comments > FIFA 14 PC Using FIFA 13 Engine

I'd much rather they spent the tiny effort they put into a new version of FIFA on the UI rather than a new engine anyway. It seems to be made up of odds and ends from various development cycles, which vaguely hang together in and uneasy hotchpotch, while bugs and issues are allowed to persist for years. It's so blindingly bad I'm sure it must be deliberate.

Apparently you only control one room as part of a bigger online house.

So what do you refer to it as subx?

A boiler - burning (natural) gas - heating both the water in the central heating system and the hot tap (faucet) water.

There isn't much residential use of the VAC part of HVAC here so that term isn't used. To service a boiler you have to be certified to work with natural gas, plumbers often are, but the generic term for someone who does this is a "gas man" (which probably ends up sounding humorous :)

Oh, and a heater is a standalone thing that is usually powered by electricity.


This would all be a damn sight easier if you guys just spoke English ;)

Surely you must be joking.

The evidence of this "theory" were clues hidden in the movie "The Sum of All Fears." Ucrazy

So, er, was there a plot revolving around a power cut in that movie?

4fort for the original TF was great with the 4 teams and a lava pit in the center if i recall.

Spazball was always great for some four team chaos.

So I'm guessing with no In car view, there'll also be no TrackIR support anymore...

Playing GRID with my G25 and TrackIR will probably continue to be where I go for my racing thrills then.

If you were making an extremely basic marketing web site, you might think that you'd want to make sure it's available to the widest possible audience, not so for Microsoft. In a trailblazing move, the site totally fails to work under iOS, demonstrating that they don't want anything to do with those silly Apple types.

(doesn't work properly in my old version of Firefox either)


Currently tablets are pretty much exclusively entertainment devices, and I can't of anything much less entertaining than Windows. The ultrabook market needs a kick up the arse though (particularly in terms of screen technology) and this might be the thing to do it.

I played TF to death for a good two or three years, I stopped playing over a decade ago.

I remember an interview with Robin Walker where he said it was a shame that people kept copying TF and didn't come up with original ideas.

Ha!



P.S. Spazball!

Doesn't Einstein know you should never start a conversation about Nazis on the Internet? I thought this guy was supposed to be clever...

Haha, 12,731. So applying this "American Formula" that means we have about 193 psychos in the mix.

It must be more than that, surely.
