Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

[Nordschleifer.2200]

Useless question: why Icaras Fury (FX450, perhaps?) AG ship doesn't have an hull made of futuristic composite materials like the others, but rather of the plastic-looking alloy used for hulls of HD ships.

Short R&D budgets, perhaps?

Not sure if this mock-up of a potential disc-format Fury has been posted yet:

(Yes, that logo at the bottom is a bit of mockery!)

[Lance]

Nice! I'd love to see that product on sale.

[ProblemSolver]

Nice fake. That would be the worst cover ever.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Love the State Farm Insurance logo...LOL.

[SonicChaos]

Indeed. that was a nice touch.

On time trails. Is it best to use the turbo straight away at the start on the first lap to get to max speed and save time.

[lunar]

I don`t think so. On a lot of tracks you really need to save your turbo for a shortcut where you can save a lot of time, or there are more beneficial places where you can get speed with the turbo in a slow section or reduce airtime. In a Triakis, though, which takes 3 laps to reach full speed, you could have a point

This seems like an obvious point that has been discussed before, but what the hell is up with the "photos taken" part of the statistics board? I've taken 1 photo -for the trophy- and it says I've taken like 600, what the hell man?

[Frances_Penfold]

FWIW, my photo count is similarly wacked out-- it says I have taken 175 photos when I'm pretty sure I have taken less than 10.

Does anybody feel like the topography of some tracks is physically "impossible"? I'm sure it's just my imagination-- but if feels, well, wrong.

E.g., on tracks like Sebenco Peak reverse, it feels like I am moving downwards, and downwards, and downwards, and that I never really regain that elevation. Yet on the next lap, I continue to go downwards again and again!
