    Maybe the current rFactor 2 laws prohibit marrying bi-turbos to a car design?... ba-dum-shhhh

    NO. Maybe marketing people but not engineers developing an engine or whole car...

    Let us not forget the ground crew who mistook a passenger aircraft's fuel order for Litres rather than gallons... I'm assuming the turbo issue is more of a linguistic matter; 'twin-turbo' might not carry the same meaning in other languages as it does in (North American at least) English. As a Canadian I've never heard bi-turbo used before but the prominence of Latin terms in English doesn't present a problem.

    That said, I never looked at the rF2 turbo code and I'm curious as to how complex it is.

    OK, the bi-turbo Porsche in GTR2....

    Is that one twin turbo or bi-turbo?

    Neither, it is naturally aspirated. GTR2 has no turbo model...

    They called it bi-turbo in the game. Just wondering what the real car was?

    It is very possible for language confusion over BI and TWIN. I know people who use them differently to me...

    For me, I use twin for two identical, and I use bi for two. I'm not sure if this is correct English or not. ;)

    OK, so twin turbo for you means two identical turbos. Are they parallel or staged? =)

    The Maserati Biturbo, I might add, had the turbos in parallel instead of sequential. They really don't have strict rules about the usage. =)

    Enough about turbos already! J/K. Let's discuss something critical like when this mod is coming out! LOL. Seriously, Tim, it is imperative that I not be out of town when this is released so I need to know now before I book my flight. Oh never mind I didn't think it would work. Just don't release this until next week. J/K.

    I think wrong week, my cat is still sick and need to force feed him every hour so of course this means F2 can't be released this friday as I would have no time to play with turbo code yet, I'm pretty sure you understand extra delay and ISI will of course delay release because of this important reason.

    In case you could not figure out this is joke, except force feeding part

    It is rather simple really, put syringe to cat's mouth, just place it against fang and cat opens it's mouth, then push syringe in and empty it to cat's mouth, keep then cat's nose up and hope really hard that he will swallow it instead of spitting to your face, mostly it is latter, then repeat.

    Of course there are dangers of getting bitten and clawed, but when not using force, but technique to hold cat, it will not panic and bite. Hand under chin, thumb and index finger to base of jaw, then hold cat against you with elbow, so that cat can't backup and thinks being completely trapped. Takes some practice, but every hour 24 hours a day for 6 days has been plenty of training...

    I doubt that Hamster would survive enough long to be force fed, there is on named Panther that attacks anything moving or squeaky. Of course it might be problem to get hamster into house as there is Tiger on yard that smells prey from quite far distances...
