    The typical for American schools is a week in September or October for fall break, 2 or so weeks for Christmas, and a week in March or April for spring break. We also get a day or two here and there for thanksgiving or Easter or whatnot.

    Here's what we get in my district.

    - 5 days for fall break
    - 1.5 weeks for winter break
    - 2 days for spring break
    - Summer break early June - Late August

    I don't care how long breaks are, I'm just happy I have breaks.

    So theres the difference in Australia the schools are controlled by the separate states and they all agreed on shorter summer (because it's too hot to go outside) and longer other holidays.

    -2 weeks for autumn,
    -2 weeks for winter,
    -2 weeks for spring and
    -6 for christmas summer.
    Except for one that doesn't have winter break because it's too cold. (stares in the direction of Tasmania)

    I'm so in the mood for 波霸奶茶 (boba nai cha) right about now, too bad the only Asian places around are half an hour drive away, that means I can't go and grab some, and I can't buy any 粉圓 (fen yuan) to put in there either, so I can't make it myself either. I sometimes hate not living OTP, especially this far.

    EDIT: I used 粉圓 instead of
    波霸 because 粉圓 in Chinese is "pink circle", which translates to tapioca pearls, and 波霸 is simply bubble, IIRC.
    Sorry to sound like the Norcrossian in this thread.

    EDIT #2: It seems I'm tired, but I read WuFuYuan as 服务员, Chinese speakers will get the 老外's mistake.

    Going to look at those crown Vics tomorrow. I have three that I want to check out, two 2006's and an '08. Mainly the 2006's, though. The '08 looks far too nice for my taste. I hope they' let people take cars onto the lot to jump start them, because the batteries in all three are shot.
    Links if you care:

    Introducing my terrible suspension. Still running at 60fps which is a good thing :) (Yeah I know , too much wheel expansion)

    I've wanted a game like beamng on my phone for a while. Is there a chance you could release this on windows phone?
    BTW: is there any progress on the holden?

    Dunno, with the presumably place holder ground, got this cartoon effect going on, for which I think the wheel expansion genuinely seems to fit.

    Well he's using unity, so it's down to whether you have to pay for that feature in unity or not.

    It's free to build for WP as long as I have Windows 8.1 (which I don't), but Windows 10 should work.

    So I put a chip bag on a subwoofer...

    I just want to clarify something.
    Does the engine inertia value basically just slow down the speed at which the rpm climbs?
    It doesnt seem to give the engine real inertia.

    Tomorrow we'll be getting a new car, finally.
    My mom really wanted an Opel Zafira, so we'll get one of them.

    --edit--
    Also, I just saw a puff of smoke come out of my krakens :/
    Well, either that or I'm halucinating.


    --edit2--

    There's been like 15 firetrucks going around in town in the last 10 minutes.

    Does what it says on the tin; a lower inertia will make the engine more rev-happy but more sensitive to variables that affect wheelspeed such as hills. Conversely for higher inertia. A real-life analogue that influences crank inertia would be the weight of the flywheel.

    Probably.

    Maybe putting 1W continuous in them made the voice coils go...

    I know what inertia is and its affect, I just wanted to know exactly how it is implemented BeamNG :).

    Apperently they're fine.
    I don't think they're gonna make it to the 1 year mark (8.1.15) if I keep em going like this.
    Then again, I plan on getting better headphones (Tiamat 2.2) sometime soon (ish).
    I just like the idea of having two "subwoofers" in headphones.
    Also, they'll sound great with bass at 100% in Razer Surround and an amp with something called "ULTRA BASS SYSTEM".
