Virtua_LM has released new previews of another stunning track creation for rFactor, showing us new shots of the Japanese Fuji Speedway in late 80s specification. Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races as the track was part of the FIA World Sports Car Championship for Group C prototypes from 1982 to 1988. Even though the track was slowed down with two chicanes during the 80s, speeds on the track remained very high thanks to the 1.5 kilometer main straght - The longest in motorsports. [nggallery ...
Alless has released his Audi R15 TDI for GTR2, adding Audi's current Le Mans Prototype challenger to the simulation. Introduced in 2009, the R15 is Audi’s second Diesel prototype for the Le Mans 24 Hours. The V10-powered car won its debut outing at the Sebring 12 Hours but failed to match the speed of the Peugeot 908 at Le Mans, making it Audi’s first LMP since the R8 that has not won the 24 hour classic at its first attempt. The R15 features several revolutionary aerodynamic elements, some of which caused a big controversy in the sports car world as competitors Peugeot ...

100% Agree Dabona, the popups have been killing the screenshots every time. As a web developer, we design sites based on the default settings of the big three browsers available (IE, FF, Opera). You cannot expect visitors to jump through additional hoops to view your content. Furthermore, many of us browse the site while @ work, where our employers restrict the use of any/all third party plugins. My 2 cents, take it or leave it.

After lots of research, I found out what the problem with the banners is. The lightbox (the picture that pops up and darkens the rest of the screen) is unable to overlap flash-banners.
The normal banners are no problem but the flash banners are not correctly overlapped. I wasn’t aware of that because I usually only see normal image banners as the banners depend on the area you´re from.
I will be switching to a new gallery system in the coming days that will solve this problem once and for all. Please bear with me as it will take a while, I´m not exactly the biggest tech-head around ;)
I agree on the fact that a website should be usable with standart software, this problem was around this long because I was not aware of it. And those banner-blocker thingys can be a double-headed sword. Sure, advertisements can be anyoing but many sites rely on those to pay for hosting and the effort that is put into them. And if you block out banners, you might someday be losing a site you like… (I´m not talking about this site, more of a general thought :smile: )

I think if you browse this site @ work and you’re not allowed to install such a plugin then you also aren’t allowed to view such sites

Montoya it’s great to hear you located a work-around for the .swf/banner issue. This site is a great resource for sim enthusiasts and your work is appreciated.

Software restrictions in the IT sector are common and have absolutely nothing to do with employees browsing habits, nor the sites they visit. The restrictions are implemented based upon logical security measures setup to ensure the safety, integrity, and overall compatibility of the lan/wan.
