First Philips CD player

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:24:04 +0000

Have some of the guys (Lucas and Tjeerd?) here on lastplace that work or have connections to the company Philips, any knoweledge how to become on of the first CD player - CD100 /101 or any other that have the TDA1540D A/D converter chip onborad?
Also it should have the old CDM 0/1 drive in! ( Philips, Grundig,
Marantz and Naim have it also! )

Maybe a ask in the company to others who want to solve it?

Maybe someone from the old worker or member have one of them in use or in the garage, vault or roof storage?
I would be very interisting for one of them and pay good money for it!

iPad or Andriod tablet?

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 07:41:58 +0000

Gents, I need some consumer advice.

My mom is looking to buy a tablet. She already got a cheap ass 7" one, running Android 2.2. That did not work out well, as it was horribly slow, had no easy options for installing apps and the touchscreen needed a hammer for navigation.
So this tablet ended up in the trashcan already.

Now mothersday is coming up her in Holland and my dad asked me to get her a "proper" tablet. So I'm looking at an iPad 2 or Galaxy tab, or something similar in quality/price range.

Do any of you have experience with tablets? I'm looking for a tablet that does not need a high level over IT-expertise (e.a. firmware updates are out of the question). But also, the availability of apps should be easy and cheap.

Kyle Busch - What a Wheel Man!

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:08:50 +0000

I watched this live last night - The Bud Shootout at Daytona. Kyle Busch can be a real pain - e.g. intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday at a Texas truck race last year.

But his performance last night at the Bud Shootout was electrifying. At two different points in the race he was at a yaw angle of at least 45 degrees, and saved both. Here's one of the save sequences:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pnBMJg6Ktc

After these saves and other contact his left front (and other areas?) were banged up. As you can see from the following sequence (51 second mark, 139 second mark approx) his car was creating sparks as it dragged the track, which had to be slowing him down. Guess where he finished.

That was the most exciting race I've seen in quite a while, even though it was NASCAR!

nKservertool doesn't ask for password

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 20:39:44 +0000

Hello, I have a problem with nKservertool.

I can setup the server with a password.
I see the server in the lobby.
I can log in to the server, but when I log in it doesn't ask for the password. And when I'm on the server it says "sesion is closed to new drivers"and I get kicked out.

Ports are forwarded to the race pc, windows firewall gave permision and my firusscanner isn't interfering.

Track Mania

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:36:15 +0000

As you al know i haven't driven nKPRo for a while but that doesn't mean I am not racing.
I tried 2/2,5 years back Track Mania and at first it was nice but nothing compared to nKPRo.
But when I stoped with netkar I drove TM more and more and really enjoyed it and even joined a team where I drive now for over a year.
But when a new GPC season starts I probaly will be here again.
If someone from our team have it join me sometime , here is my login so you can put my into your friend list, tjeerd71
Also Bram is driving there, here is his login » bram65

Team I joined » ATR Team

Here is a short videoclip I made, enjoy

rFactor - Porsche Carrera Cup Mod

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 11:57:14 +0000

I have watch this real racing series Porsche Carrera Cup last week on Red Bull racing (A1 Ring) circuit in Austria and ask my self how it would feels to driwe it on some other sim that last sunday with our F2000 cars!

I have try some mods on GTR2 and find it to bad unrealistic, but find that with rFactor v. 1.255 and with the Porsche Carrera Cup 2007 Mod is the best response and feel ever!
I seted all drive helps off, except ABS on low ( IMO withot ABS helps its unreal glitchy and could not break stable at right points for all times!)! AI strenght on 108% and 19 laps at on real races!

Wow, what a amazing driving feeling! I had many fun!
I had never such interisting and amazing sim reace! It was not easy to win, all the time fight to hold the first place untill to the end of race! I will try it next time with AI on 110% and maybe with Nordschleife!
The KI was very good on 50% agresivity and didnt hit me or something.
Very good sound, good cocpit view with noises, vibrations as almost real, good FF effects and responce! And the important thing is the amazing track realisation! I have download it from rFactor central!
http://www.rfactorcentral.com/index.cfm
In comparison with thew nK Pro version it is much better textured and you feel the bumps and hills as real!
This pics can not show the right look, but even shows the fine optik!

Worth to try it believ me!
