So I realised I've never posted my train layout here, and I know conrail and Hetzel in particular will appreciate it. 18+ months of work so far IIRC.

I found a website in which you can create your own seasons of game shows, including the Hunger Games!

Here's mine. Warning, might cause death by laughter.

Aside from how awesome that it looks, all that I can think of when I see this car is "Tide"!

so Im hoping to Contribute to the Forum in Some Manner....

Ive been trying to get NR03 to work on my computer and for some reason none of the NO CD Patches would even Load(i have Windows 10) and even then im not sure it would 100% work.

I was Thinking a Fourm Game too, but i feel like all the good Ideas(like Random,org roll the dice) have been Dione.

I know Ben got NR2003 to run in Windows 10, and from what little I've looked up on it, it seems to be much the same procedure on Win8 as it is on Win10.

The only difference to most is that I have a physical copy...

I got the No CD Patch to install on mine just fine. To get around the secure boot stuff, I usually go into command prompt as an admin to disable DEP.

I have yet to run into problems with NR2003 on Windows 10, in fact, I found it easier to get running on Windows 10 than Windows 8!

by AntmanB Fri May 13, 2016 5:16 am

ive actually thought about getting an actual copy, but you know how hard and probably expensive it is tpo get a 13 year old game.

Im not really worrid about getting the game to work atm, just getting a freaking no cd patch to download.

Cinema Sins released a sins video for Cars, and I remembered a tiny detail that really bothers me.

WHY IS CHICK'S ARROW OFF?? I mean, King's and McQueen's arrow is spot on the roof! If it was an error, why didn't anyone notice, it would be really shitting easy to fix! If it was intentional, WHY!?

This bothers me much more than it should, but when I saw this for the first time when I was about 5, I noticed this and was about as angry about this as I am now.

The only thing I could come up with is that MAYBE the writers saw some archival racing broadcasts and noticed similar mistakes during said broadcasts.

That'd actually be a hilarious meta thing that makes the movie better.

I never really thought much of it; as someone who had seen FoxTrax on NASCAR broadcasts during the few years leading up to the movie's release, I just assumed that it was correctly depicting its occasional inaccuracies.

I also presume that Pixar made Chick's graphics the ones that were inaccurate on purpose. Being portrayed as egotistical and "always-runner-up," it adds a bit of extra comical effect that his TV graphics aren't even working.

Will be leaving on Wednesday for a 10-day vacation. May get to using the internet once or twice but will likely be inactive until next Saturday.

I just wish that we had left one week earlier so that we could have attended the IndyCar race at Road America!

Dave Reuille, AKA WoofGM passed away today. Nice guy from the few times I interacted with him, and a great member of the NR03 community, including here. May he rest in peace.

by The_Wall_91 Tue Jul 05, 2016 9:27 pm

I had the opportunity to race against WoofGM in a race at Bluestreak Motorsports. He was a great guy to meet. Although I never crossed paths with him after that race, he is still a member of the sim racing community.

RIP

I'm just disappointed. I empathize with people who felt that Trump was their only chance to have their voices heard (I know I don't feel welcome in the Democratic Party), but damn, it just feels wrong.

I have heard about the new test driver...

A late Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to the rest of you all as well! Very Happy

On another note, if anyone noticed my lack of activity the last month and half or so, just been really bogged down at work and looking for a job. Hoping I can start posting and participating more again when the schedule clears up a bit. We're getting there...

by SpeedDemon37 Mon Dec 26, 2016 3:39 pm

Also another late Happy Holidays to all! (Was unable to log on for the last several days.)

I do have experience in that field as well, and it is a bitch. But as all shounen anime, you have to muster up courage inside your heart and defeat thy mighty enemy.

Are you still using xkorinate (since you had a series with it)? That might have something to do with it. I've experimented with it a lot and it seems to have tons of DNFs for the auto racing.

Hey guys, for those of you that don't have access to Muskegon Area News, there was a false report of an active school shooter on my college campus today at around 10:30am. I just want everyone to know that I am home and I am fine, I am just a little freaked out by the incident.
