% Hi all! Long time no see.
% I haven't been on the group in over a year and was wondering what all
% the acronyms stand for. Other than ICR2, GP2 and N1-N2 I'm lost!
% Also, what are the best controlers out there. I'm looking for something
% realy heavy duty that I can, possibly, modify with a custom wheel.
The following is from the regularly posted "welcoming" FAQ for r.a.s.:
o People can select the articles which most appeal to them if you
include a keyword in your Subject Field with something about the
topic you are posting about. Since many different simulators are
discussed, it is highly suggested that you start off your Subject
Field with a "code" related to the topic you are posting. This
will make it easier for readers to choose the posts they wish to
read. Also, some news readers can actually filter out specific
posts to be read or discarded based on keywords.
Examples:
Code Simulation
CPR CART Precision Racing
DD2 Destruction Derby 2
F1RS F1 Racing Simulation
