+Dean Jones Yeah I would enjoy helmet cam if I was closer to my screen.

+Broughy1322 Understandable, the learning curve is still there for all of us.

Maybe but I do need to get a bit better first :)

Ahhh memories.

I spot penisery easily 

I noticed immediately as WELL ;)

Yep same issue here. I used calcs myself and would have had to set FOV lower than what was possible for it to be realistic. So I moved to hood.

+evklinken I'd say to my mate how tf can u drive with the camera so far away? Like he's in a helicopter or something. But this dude is old school, and has always driven that way. I'd guarantee he'd keep up with any player of a similar skill level (probably our level, keen at racing games but also has life outside of racing) But I'd be lucky if 1 lap was good in that view. I can defense drive that view easier but that isn't my preferred racing style.

It is entirely true that driving style plays a big part, but when you hit a certain level and I'm not trying to thump my chest here and say I'm all that consistency at 95% of the limit is nigh on impossible with chase because you simply cannot see correctly where your car is in relation to the track and braking points. You can pump out a quick lap or two, but try and be consistent for 40 laps with chase. I doubt you won't go off.

This really depends on your driving style. I prefer the camera as close to the front wheels for quickest lap results (bumper & cockpit im around 2-3 sec lap slower at bathurst vs bonnet cam) So my style agrees with your ^ comments, BUT I have friends who cannot use the 3 closest views (bumper bonnet and cockpit) He's avg 5sec lap slower at bathurst compared to his preferred 'remote control car' (chase cam)

+Diamond Warrior Huh?

It's easy. If it's a nano quad, with no fancy buttons, then press the right stick and it should beep, after the beep, push the right stick in the direction you want to flip.For remotes with many fnacy button, there should be a button on the bumper, tap it once,beep and choose the direction.

+Cassie Brown There is an on/off switch next to the charging port on the helicopter.  Switch that to on.  Then turn on the transmitter (which must be set to Channel C for the helicopter).  That should be all there is to it.  :)

+Josh Elwood I bought it from HobbyTron.com  The link is in the video description.  ;)

+XTREME4X4PERFORMANCE That I did.  :)

Okaaayyyyy?

right... no such thing as over securement

j ready - Come back when you know what you are talking about.

saw a load of pipe slam into the back of a truck. headache rack saved his life. in most cases it will deflect the freight upward enough to keep driver safer. not totally safe, but safer.

Here's the thing man, just take a close look at a headache rack on a tractor these days. If a load hits that rack it can, will and does snap the braces and lays over into the cab. This is why I say they provide no protection. If you got a squirrel load like suicide coils on you gotta know what the hell you are doing. Suicide coils are some of the easiest trouble free loads there is BUT if you don't secure it right and you have to slam on the brakes; once that shit starts moving the inertia from the movement comes into play it does not matter how many chains you have...YOU ARE FUCKED.I had a guy on the atlanta loop in one of my (at the time) brand new Freightliner FLC-XL roll tops with a 500 cat and a brand new transcraft eagle trailer back in 2003 that had a load of lumber on...Car did a swoop and squat on him. He had to slam on the brakes to keep from killing a family of 6 in the car. Load of lumber pierced the headache rack on the tractor like arrows and came all the way up to the windshield. It also broke the rack supports and layed the rack partly into the sleeper. No one hurt, but he learned that day that headache rack or not, you can end up just as dead. 9 times out of 10 it's not the equipment; it's the driver not knowing his/her and/or the equipment's limitations. Back in the 70's and earlier headache racks were mostly steel and for good reason. You still see them once in a blue moon. Aluminum started getting popular trying to lighten the trucks...Those racks will not protect you 100%.Here is the irony, on that day I got a $115,000 tractor trashed and legally is was not the driver's fault. But he did do something wrong. He got agitated and impatient because whenever he would adjust for proper following distance more cars would use and fill in the gap (We have all experienced this.)He finally stopped allowing proper following distance to stop other cars from filling the gap. Once he did this a car darted lanes in front of him and I got a brand new $115K tractor trashed. It's not the equipment; It's the driver. As a CMV operator you must operate safely and have infinite patience or bad shit can and will happen.This driver (at the time) at the wheel had over 30 years experience and KNEW better. In the end two simple things caused the damage. Lack of patience and over confidence. Once you think you know it all no matter how long you have been out there bad things can and will happen.

Thanks for that input swtnlnly.  I hope they make it a law.  A guy had to slam on brakes in NJ earlier this year.  He got crush by his load after it slide through the back of his cab when he slammed on brakes to keep from rear ending a car that jumped in front of him at a light.//www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2014/01/truck_driver_killed_in_pennington_crash_when_load_spills_into_cabin.htmlSure its not the only incident this year.(have to read the comments to the story for more details by people following him)

Yeah, California outlawed them years ago...Relatively new thing with Texas...Screw Binders only for those states.

Thanks again Swtnlnly.  That might save some drivers a headache down the road.  Some of the smaller companies near Tx or Cali might still be using them and sending people across the lines. 

They are coming BJboss

Thanks for the feedback Luke!  More coming

ha:D
