Sir Alfred Jules "Freddie" Ayer (/ɛər/; 29 October 1910 – 27 June 1989)[2] was a British philosopher known for his promotion of logical positivism, particularly in his books Language, Truth, and Logic (1936) and The Problem of Knowledge (1956).
Ayer was a Special Operations Executive and MI6 agent during the Second World War.[3] He was the Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic at University College London from 1946 until 1959, when he became Wykeham Professor of Logic at the University of Oxford. He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1951 to 1952. He was knighted in 1970.
Ayer was born in St John's Wood, London, to a wealthy European family. His mother, Reine Citroën, was from the Dutch Jewish family who founded the Citroën car company in France. His father, Jules Ayer, was a Swiss Calvinist financier who worked for the Rothschild family.
He was educated at Ascham St Vincent's Preparatory School and Eton. It was at Eton that Ayer first became known for his characteristic bravado and precocity.[4] In the final examinations at Eton, Ayer came second in his year, and first in classics. In his final year, as a member of Eton's senior council, he unsuccessfully campaigned for the abolition of corporal punishment at the school. He won a classics scholarship to Christ Church, Oxford. He served as an officer in the Welsh Guards during World War II, working for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and spying for MI6.[5] He was an extrovert, social mixer and womaniser, and was married four times, including to Dee Wells and Vanessa Salmon (thus becoming stepfather to Nigella Lawson). Reputedly he liked dancing and attending the clubs in London and New York. He was also obsessed with sport: he had played rugby for Eton, and was a noted cricketer and a keen supporter of the Tottenham Hotspur football team. For an academic, Ayer was an unusually well-connected figure in his time, with close links to 'high-society' and the establishment. Presiding over Oxford high-tables, he is often described as charming, but at times he could also be intimidating.[6]
In Language, Truth and Logic (1936), Ayer rejected atheism, as he understood it, on the grounds that any religious discourse was meaningless. He believed that religious language was unverifiable and as such literally nonsense. Consequently "There is no God" was for Ayer as meaningless and metaphysical an utterance as "God exists." Though Ayer could not give assent to the declaration "There is no God," he was an atheist in the sense that he withheld assent from affirmations of God's existence. However, in "Language, Truth and Logic" he distinguishes himself from both agnostics and atheists by saying that both these stances take the statement "God exists" as a meaningful hypothesis, which Ayer himself does not. He also criticises C. A. Mace's opinion[7] that metaphysics is a form of intellectual poetry.[8] The stance of a person who believes "God" denotes no verifiable hypothesis is sometimes referred to as igtheism (for example, by Paul Kurtz).[9] In later years Ayer did refer to himself as an atheist[10] and stated that he did not believe in God.[11] He followed in the footsteps of Bertrand Russell by debating with the Jesuit scholar Frederick Copleston on the topic of religion.
Between 1945 and 1947, together with Russell and George Orwell, he contributed a series of articles to Polemic, a short-lived British "Magazine of Philosophy, Psychology, and Aesthetics" edited by the ex-Communist Humphrey Slater.[12][13]
Ayer was closely associated with the British humanist movement. He was an Honorary Associate of the Rationalist Press Association from 1947 until his death. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1963.[14] In 1965, he became the first president of the Agnostics' Adoption Society and in the same year succeeded Julian Huxley as president of the British Humanist Association, a post he held until 1970. In 1968 he edited The Humanist Outlook, a collection of essays on the meaning of humanism. In addition he was one of the signers of the Humanist Manifesto.[15]
He taught or lectured several times in the United States, including serving as a visiting professor at Bard College in the fall of 1987. At a party that same year held by fashion designer Fernando Sanchez, Ayer, then 77, confronted Mike Tyson who was forcing himself upon the (then) little-known model Naomi Campbell. When Ayer demanded that Tyson stop, the boxer said: "Do you know who the fuck I am? I'm the heavyweight champion of the world," to which Ayer replied: "And I am the former Wykeham Professor of Logic. We are both pre-eminent in our field. I suggest that we talk about this like rational men". Ayer and Tyson then began to talk, while Naomi Campbell slipped out.[16]
From 1959 to his retirement in 1978, Sir Alfred held the Wykham Chair, Professor of Logic at Oxford. He was knighted in 1970.
Ayer died on 27 June 1989. From 1980 – 1989, Ayer lived at 51 York Street, Marylebone, where a memorial plaque was unveiled on 19 November 1995.[17]
Personal life[edit]
Ayer was married four times to three women.[18] His first marriage was from 1932-1941 to (Grace Isabel) Renée (d. 1980), who subsequently married philosopher Stuart Hampshire; Ayer's friend and colleague.[18] In 1960 he married Alberta Constance (Dee) Wells (1925–2003), with whom he had one son.[18] Ayer's marriage to Wells was dissolved in 1983 and that same year he married Vanessa Mary Addison, former wife of politician Nigel Lawson. She died in 1985 and in 1989 he remarried Dee Wells, who survived him.[18] Ayer also had a daughter with Hollywood columnist Sheilah Graham Westbrook.[18]
Near-death experience[edit]
In 1988, shortly before his death, Ayer wrote an article entitled, "What I saw when I was dead",[19] describing an unusual near-death experience. Of the experience, Ayer first said that it "slightly weakened my conviction that my genuine death ... will be the end of me, though I continue to hope that it will be."[20] However, a few days later he revised this, saying "what I should have said is that my experiences have weakened, not my belief that there is no life after death, but my inflexible attitude towards that belief".[21]
In 2001 Dr. Jeremy George, the attending physician, claimed that Ayer had confided to him: "I saw a Divine Being. I'm afraid I'm going to have to revise all my books and opinions." Ayer's son Nick, however, said that he had never mentioned this to him though he did find his father's words to be extraordinary, and said he had long felt there was something possibly suspect about his father's version of his near death experience.[22]
Ayer is best known for popularising the verification principle, in particular through his presentation of it in Language, Truth, and Logic (1936). The principle was at the time at the heart of the debates of the so-called Vienna Circle which Ayer visited as a young guest. Others, including the leading light of the circle, Moritz Schlick, were already offering their own papers on the issue.[23] Ayer's own formulation was that a sentence can only be meaningful if it has verifiable empirical import, otherwise it is either "analytical" if tautologous, or "metaphysical" (i.e. meaningless, or "literally senseless"). He started to work on the book at the age of 23[24] and it was published when he was 26. Ayer's philosophical ideas were deeply influenced by those of the Vienna Circle and David Hume. His clear, vibrant and polemical exposition of them makes Language, Truth and Logic essential reading on the tenets of logical empiricism– the book is regarded as a classic of 20th century analytic philosophy, and is widely read in philosophy courses around the world. In it, Ayer also proposed that the distinction between a conscious man and an unconscious machine resolves itself into a distinction between 'different types of perceptible behaviour',[25] an argument which anticipates the Turing test published in 1950 to test a machine's capability to demonstrate intelligence.
Ayer wrote two books on the philosopher Bertrand Russell, Russell and Moore: The Analytic Heritage (1971) and Russell (1972). He also wrote an introductory book on the philosophy of David Hume and a short biography of Voltaire.
In 1972–1973 Ayer gave the Gifford Lectures at University of St Andrews, later published as The Central Questions of Philosophy. In the preface to the book, he defends his selection to hold the lectureship on the basis that Lord Gifford wished to promote '"Natural Theology", in the widest sense of that term', and that non-believers are allowed to give the lectures if they are "able reverent men, true thinkers, sincere lovers of and earnest inquirers after truth".[26] He still believed in the viewpoint he shared with the logical positivists: that large parts of what was traditionally called "philosophy"– including the whole of metaphysics, theology and aesthetics– were not matters that could be judged as being true or false and that it was thus meaningless to discuss them.
In "The Concept of a Person and Other Essays" (1963), Ayer heavily criticized Wittgenstein's private language argument.
Ayer's sense-data theory in Foundations of Empirical Knowledge was famously criticised by fellow Oxonian J. L. Austin in Sense and Sensibilia, a landmark 1950s work of common language philosophy. Ayer responded to this in the essay "Has Austin Refuted the Sense-data Theory?", which can be found in his Metaphysics and Common Sense (1969).

Click here to replay live coverage of the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting.
Click here for more World-Herald coverage of Berkshire and Saturday's meeting.
Click here to view a photo showcase from the meeting.
Warren Buffett gave his shareholders a lesson Saturday in his company's future, with or without him, extolling the long-term advantages built into Berkshire Hathaway Inc. over 53 years of investing with the "consistency" he applied as its controlling owner.
"We're well-equipped to carry on," Buffett said, adding later in a five-hour question-and-answer session that the successor he has in mind "will not turn off managers and has the culture of the company deeply embedded."
An estimated 35,000 people attended the meeting, held at the CenturyLink Center Omaha. Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire, and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger fielded more than 50 questions from shareholders and panels of journalists and financial analysts.
Buffett revealed: He might acquire more newspapers in cities where the focus is local news not available elsewhere; the allegations of bribery in Mexico by Walmart officials should not undermine the company's earning potential; and, in the past few months, he considered but didn't complete a $22 billion acquisition.
Throughout, the issue of succession was in the background as Buffett, 81, returned repeatedly to the theme that Berkshire was well-situated to continue to grow without him:
� He said that his two newly hired investment managers, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs, have been "home runs" for Berkshire and could handle all of its investments if need be.
� Buffett said the next CEO will be able to use the company's strengths just as well and would add new abilities to Berkshire. Buffett and Berkshire's directors have agreed on a successor, if one is needed, but have not revealed that person's name or told that person about their plans.
� Even when he's gone, Buffett said, his family likely will have 10 times the Berkshire voting power of any single shareholder. His eldest son, Howard, is designated as the next chairman of Berkshire, a non-executive position. Buffett has said the family and board members intend to preserve Berkshire's way of doing business and the CEO's role.
"It's not an impossible job," he said. For example, Berkshire will continue to have large amounts of cash — currently about $33.6 billion — which means its next CEO could make huge investments. More important to Berkshire's future, he said, would be acquiring the right businesses, and Berkshire retains its advantage as the preferred home for good businesses looking for a long-term owner.
"Berkshire can act with speed and finality that is quite rare at American corporations," he said.
As for the next CEO, he said, "in many ways he will be better than I am."
Buffett repeated his comment that he is Berkshire's "chief risk officer," protecting the company from financial catastrophe. "My successor will have the same responsibility. We would not select anybody for that job that didn't have those skills."
He said it would be difficult for a 30-year-old, starting today, to re-create Berkshire over a 50-year investment career. Munger said that would be true even if Buffett were that 30-year-old. "But I'd like to try," Buffett said.
He brushed aside concerns about the prostate cancer he revealed last month with characteristic humor, saying he deliberately made the announcement to "turn the spotlight on me" because his secretary, Debbie Bosanek, was getting too much attention for her higher income tax rate.
It was more than an hour into the questions before anyone asked about Buffett's health. Munger, 88, feigned jealousy about the sympathy Buffett has been getting lately.
"I probably have more prostate cancer than he does," Munger said, adding that he doesn't know because he doesn't bother to have his prostate levels checked.
Buffett said his four doctors (all Berkshire shareholders, he pointed out) laid out the treatment options and give him a 99-plus percent chance of living at least another decade with the disorder.
"In all seriousness, it is a non-event," Buffett said.
He was energetic and in good humor before and throughout the meeting. He spent about an hour walking through the convention hall, tossing newspapers, eating a Dilly Bar and touring booths of Berkshire companies as shareholders crowded around, held at bay by security guards.
During the meeting, Buffett said his prostate cancer makes no difference in his daily activities, and he won't miss a day of work while having radiation treatments this summer.
At one point, aiming for a record, Buffett directed shareholders to raise the See's Candies lollipops they found on their chairs in the air for a photo and then pop them into their mouths when he said, "Go!" Nearly everyone complied.
But this year's meeting also had the added substance of questions by the financial analysts, giving Buffett the chance to explain some of Berkshire's interior strengths. For example, he said that because the company's Geico auto insurance division has such long-term growth potential, it's worth many times the value listed by Berkshire under accounting rules.
Buffett also said Berkshire is headed for a good year in profits, with its major companies setting records. He said the company could make a $20 billion purchase today if the right deal came along. If there's no such purchase this year, Berkshire is gaining enough cash that it could consider a $30 billion deal next year.
Asked about sustainable energy, Buffett said Berkshire has an advantage in solar and wind energy projects because it pays federal income taxes and it can take full advantage of federal tax incentives for alternative energy.
The newspaper question, asked by a person from Yutan, Neb., through one of the journalists, was prompted by Berkshire's purchase of The World-Herald in December. "Was there some self-indulgence with this?"
Buffett said newspapers can be good businesses but must resolve the problems of high production and delivery costs and the practice of making their products available for free over the Internet.
A questioner from Georgia, through a journalist, suggested that as a CEO representing shareholders, Buffett should be less outspoken on political issues, such as advocating that high-income people should pay at least a tax rate similar to that paid by middle-class Americans. That idea prompted President Barack Obama to proposed a "Buffett rule" tax and adopt the issue in his campaign.
Some members of the audience applauded the question, but others applauded somewhat louder when Buffett defended his right to speak out, saying, "When Charlie and I took this job, we did not decide to put our citizenship in a blind trust."
The questioner asked whether Buffett's political views were holding down the market price of Berkshire stock, saying that his father, in his 80s, wouldn't buy Berkshire stock for that reason.
"It sounds to me like he might want to own Fox," Buffett said, referring to the cable TV channel with programs often regarded as having conservative viewpoints. The comment generated a loud response from the 18,000 people in the convention center's arena, a sort of cheer mixed with "Oooh!" and applause.
Buffett, a longtime Democrat, said he doubted his views affect the stock price, adding that people shouldn't decide on their investments or relationships based on whether they agree with someone's politics.
Several questions revolved around Berkshire's stock price, which has not increased much in recent years. Last year, it dropped to a point where Buffett put in place a plan for the company to buy its own stock when it dips too low.
Buffett said the stock price will "bob up and down" because the stock market sometimes acts like a "psychotic drunk," but over time will reflect the true value of the company. He said he won't change the stock buyback plan or pay dividends.
Shareholder John Oehler, a retired CPA from Buffalo, N.Y., who came to the meeting with his wife, Virginia, said Buffett is "absolutely right" about the stock price.
"This is just one of those moments," Oehler said. "The market will recognize the value of the company. I have no doubt about that. I would not be at all reluctant to buy shares."
Pam Krengel, who works in the pharmaceutical industry in Boston, said she was satisfied with Buffett's explanation.
"I don't know if we got to the bottom of why it's not going up at a faster pace, but in the long haul I would expect it to improve," Krengel said. "They have invested in companies where there's tremendous value."
Buffett and Munger didn't spend much time discussing the overall economy but said they were amazed at today's high petroleum prices and low natural gas prices, plus the decline in the amount of electricity generated in the United States last year.
Munger said the nation should conserve its new natural gas reserves rather than burn it for electricity because it has better uses, such as in making fertilizer. Coal is better suited as a power plant fuel, he said.
Later, the two said they don't see America getting back to a 4 percent growth rate anytime soon.
Said Buffett: "It's nice to have 4 percent in real terms, but while 2.5 percent annual GDP growth might be slow in getting us out of the slump, it's a remarkable figure over a period of time."

The innovative design of the Schaeffler lightweight differential with the axial spline design gives significant advantages in terms of space, weight and power consumption.
Differentials of the traditional design with bevel gears require significantly more space.

More compact, lighter, quieter, more efficient and with higher performance – These are the attributes of the new, innovative lightweight differential from Schaeffler's INA brand. This is made possible by a completely new differential design.
The architecture of this space-saving component is completely different from traditional differential designs. Instead of using conventional differential pinions, the lightweight differential has spur gears arranged as a planetary gear set in one plane, as used in automatic transmissions.
This means that the required space and weight are significantly reduced and the potential torque capacity is noticeably increased. "The lightweight or spur gear differential has enormous advantages", explains Dr. Tomas Smetana, Head of Advance Development at the Transmission Business Unit, Schaeffler Automotive. "We save up to 30 percent weight compared with a classic bevel gear differential while creating up to 70 percent more axial space due to the streamlined design. In specific terms, this means a reduction in mass of up to three kilograms per differential and 90 millimeters of additional space in the transmission!" The lightweight differential is thus an appropriate response to the challenge of increasing engine torques and the space gained in the transmission creates more room for larger double clutches or transfer boxes, as well as electronic components for modern hybrid solutions.
"The narrow lightweight differential design also allows the use of new bearing concepts with optimized friction and makes a measurable contribution to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions", says Norbert Indlekofer, member of the Executive Board and responsible for transmission systems at Schaeffler.
In addition, the lightweight differential – beyond creating space for hybrid modules – is also a key element for the innovative eDifferential from Schaeffler. This component combines an electric drive with the option of controlling the drive power in each wheel individually. The active electric differential gives a significant improvement in load transmission when travelling on surfaces with varying friction values. It also supports the steering function. This facilitates torque vectoring (distribution of torque between the left and right wheel), which is beneficial for driving dynamics, safety and comfort. If eDifferentials are used on both axles, this also enables the longitudinal distribution of drive torques. It is also possible to intervene in driving dynamics through selective power supply instead of through braking intervention and thus power reduction as is the case with ESP. With the solution presented in the Schaeffler concept vehicle ACTIVeDRIVE, the mobility supplier is showing the way ahead for such an electric concept in a vehicle drive system.

"We're very happy to announce that we will be supporting our good friends Frightened Rabbit on their West Coast dates in North America. During a night in the pub with FR we both agreed we'd love to tour with each other again and they suggested we come do some shows with them as a stripped back 3-piece which they have seen us do back home in Scotland many times before. We agreed, so that's what we're doing. These stripped back shows will give people in North America the opportunity to see the band in a different way. We're hoping it will showcase how important our songwriting process is and having a good song to begin with before adding the production is to our band." - James

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been sentenced to 30-60 years in prison.
The 68 year old was convicted of 45 counts related to child sex abuse.
He was convicted of abusing 10 boys over 15 years. Some of the victims gave statements in court – including one who accused Sandusky of manipulation.
Sandusky addressed the court.
"He said the need to talk not for arrogance, but for my heart. I'm filled with emotion and determination. I did not do these disgusting acts," CNN reported.
Sandusky professed his innocence in court after similar remarks aired on college radio Sunday night.
Paul Callan – a defence attorney – tells CNN – releasing the recording kind of backfired.
"I had a feeling probably that his lawyers probably told him not to do it either. The lawyers are going to get slammed on this," Callan said. "Sandusky might have insisted on leaking this to the college radio station."
Judge John Cleland called Sandusky dangerous, saying "you abused the trust of those who trusted you."
Sandusky has maintained his innocence, saying he did not have proper time to prepare for the trial. He plans to appeal.
The Penn State president released a statement which in part said he hopes the sentence will provide comfort to those affected by "these horrible events."
The sentence means Sandusky will be in prison until he's at least 98 years old.

24 February 2006
This week has been all about working very closely with our Australia Zoo construction team. You see, for the past couple of weeks these guys have been working hard on completing two brand new aviaries for us at our Roving Headquarters. This week they have been putting the final touches on these aviaries, one of which is going to be a new holding aviary for Djagarna the Black-necked Stork.Now this aviary is kind of a cross between a timber-slated raptor mew and a wire parrot aviary. It also has a nice sized release hatch that we hope to train Djagarna to use on her way down to the Crocoseum. As Djagarna is just about finished her moult, this aviary could not have come at a better time. It will allow us to keep all of her new feathers in tip-top condition.
The second aviary they have been working on is an extension to Megan the Andean Condor's mew. This extension will give Megan the chance to get outdoors in a secure environment and get to enjoy all of the delights of being exposed to the elements. This should also help her to stay healthy, particularly with her feathers. On her first adventure out into her new extended surroundings she just opened her wings and sunned herself for a good 10 minutes of full wing stretch. It looked amazing.

JEFF TIEDEMAN: Thanksgiving Day dinner on the side
There's more to Thanksgiving Day dinner than turkey.
It's hard for me to not get nostalgic when Thanksgiving rolls around. That was the one day of the year my family got together with all of my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents on my mom's side of the family.
There was a lot of kidding, cajoling, card-playing and horsing around on that holiday, but what I remember the most was the delicious food that we shared as we gave thanks for the wonderful lives we had been given.
Of course, a 15- to 20-pound turkey was the centerpiece of the celebration — and the main event — but the feast just wouldn't have been the same without the myriad of tasty side dishes that accompanied the bird that might have become our national symbol instead of the bald eagle if it would have been up to Benjamin Franklin.
Besides a relish tray that included pickled beets, olives (both stuffed and pitted), cream cheese-stuffed celery and carrot sticks, we had a bevy of side dishes such as bread-and-pork-sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes (topped with marshmallows), scalloped corn, seven-layer salad, cucumbers and onions in a cream sauce, cranberries and my favorite, baked oysters, which I still make as do several of my cousins.
I've probably left something out, but you get the picture.
Thanksgiving at our house won't be much different this week. Therese and I probably have hosted the holiday get-together for the past dozen years, and many of the dishes we've served are ones that we had when we were growing up.
I've never fretted about putting together the meal. In fact, I relish the opportunity. About the only thing I fear is overeating.
And as many of you know, it's pretty tough when there is so much good food.
But it is easier to keep things under control if you've got a plan.
Here are some tips from Ellen Doebler, licensed registered dietitian with Altru Health Service, to help keep you on track:
n Start your day with a small meal that includes whole grains, fruit, dairy foods and protein like eggs, ham or peanut butter.
n Don't starve yourself before the meal. The longer you go without eating, the more you eat when you sit down for a meal. Grab smaller, low-calorie snacks throughout the day.
n When it comes to the holiday meal, select foods carefully. Think about what foods you want to eat, which ones you will just sample and which ones you will skip.
n Finally, enjoy the celebration. Pace eating and spend time visiting. You'll eat less and feel good about what you've eaten.
I can't think of any better advice.

Braving the rain, more than 40 residents showed up to hear the candidates speak at the forum, which was held in the Seminole County School Board Chambers.
Pond, who has served on the board since 2008, has worked in education for nearly 30 years, specifically at Lyman High School and Seminole State College. During her introduction she said it is this experience that makes her a better candidate for the school board in Seminole County.
Lockhart, who currently works with the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners, said having children in Seminole County schools will give her a better perspective to serve on the board. She also said she will focus on solutions for the board's shrinking budget.
That budget was the first topic of discussion, and while Pond said the board should focus on increasing millage rates to maintain income from previous years, Lockhart said the board should look further into the budget to weed out inefficiencies as well as look at program costs.
When asked how they would challenge the status quo as members of the board, Lockhart said she would focus on making the school system paperless – specifically proposing the schools develop a phone application to help parents fill out paperwork.
Pond said the schools have already focused on such an initiative, and that she has worked to challenge the status quo by bridging the gaps between vocational studies and academia.
A hot topic from past years – the Environmental Studies Center which has been near closing several times – also came up, with each candidate offering differing views for its operation.
While Pond said the center was pretty much self-sustaining and in better shape than the past, Lockhart disagreed, stating the board needed to work with the county and cities to see if there was a viable plan to keep it open.
Another hot topic facing Seminole County schools was the number of homeless students and the board's role in providing them help. The topic was brought the public's attention after CBS's "60 Minutes" featured several homeless families from Seminole County earlier this year.
Pond stated the homeless students of Seminole County receive ample aid, being fed breakfast and lunch and being able to take home backpacks of food. However, she did state she felt the subject received "too much publicity."
Lockhart seemed to feel the opposite, stating they cannot highlight the issue enough. She also said the schools should work closer with local non-profits to partner for help for homeless students.
One topic the two seemed to agree on was FCAT testing with Pond saying kids were given "too many tests," and Lockhart stating the FCAT was "destroying our system."
The two will face off during the primary election held Aug. 14. The elected school board member will then serve four years on the board, working with newly appointed Superintendent Walt Griffin.

Try doublechecking before asking such questions. It's happening to people again and again they think they did everything ok and it's someone elses fault. If the car doesnt work it's super certain that you messed something up |

Thanks for the FIX , Bregel.
Problem solved. And...i think it was a minimal problem of the fact that i added the line to the end..and after a few minutes, i putted the line first on the top ,and it worked. Well ,thanks again Bregel ,and G.J. |

@JDougNY : it works and with all the upgrades installed except works but instead Drag Clutch and Engine it has 1271 BHP and it's weight is 1278 kg (2817.50 lbs). Now I need to edit the clutchtorque & baulktorque values and topspeed (any suggestion on the value of the multiplier? hennessey venom gt specs here : http://www.venomgt.com/the-venom-gt/specifications/).
The values in the lotus_exige_swap_engine.mrdf (is a duplicate of the chevrolet_c6z06_swap_engine.mrdf) are (used IEEE-754 Floating-Point Conversion), I've used your translated statistics of the audi s3 as a template. 00000020-00000023 = 82.248314 // Stock Top Speed 00000024-00000027 = 87.820686 // Works Top Speed 0000005C-0000005F = 551.21161 // Stock Torque 00000060-00000063 = 1000.2458 // Works Upgrade torque Edit : I've edited these values they change in the garage but the car still goes only 280 km/h (155 mph) without tuning and 320 km/h (199 mph) with tuning (setting gearbox all the way to the right).

@JDougNY : thank you for helping me, i've a question : what are the gdf files in the gearbox physics folder for? The code in your previous post contains strings for the CDF file in the chassis physics folder.
Edit : What have you done? You have unleashed the beast , the acceleration is just staggering, top speed (only tested on standing mile) 407 km/h (252.9 mph). This thing could easily smash a bugatti veyron (even the ss) in a drag race, even if they are works upgraded or have the drag upgrades installed. |

The previous one was better (I think it was AdjustableGearsRange=4 and AdjustableGearsFinalRange=6), finding a good balance is essential if you want to get the most speed out of a car. If you set the final drive all the way to the right the car begins to struggle to reach gear 6.

Actually, Hennessey claims that the venom gt can reach a top speed of 440 km/h (273.4mph) but it is never tested.

@JDougNY : I'm making a standalone Hennessey Venom GT, all is going well but I need to know where the chassis file (cdf) is assigned to a vehicle.
Edit : I've tried the crd file, editing <prop name="Vehicle Physics Model" data="Hennessey_Venom_GT" /> but it only changes the vdfm and the mrdf to the hennessey one. |

Sorry, I've downloaded your updated translation files and just saw it in the VDFM,
"00000030-00000033 = 00 00 00 00 = 00 00 00 00 = 0 (Caret Address 130) // Byte location in string data for Chassis CDF." How do I make the VDFM file take the Hennessey's CDF instead of the Lotus Exige CDF? |

@JDougNY: I named the cdf file hennessey_v.cdf and it works. I find it strange however that the car can't reach a decent speed in standing mile or drag (354 km/h or 219.97 mph max) but can reach a top speed of 412 km/h (256 mph, maybe even further) in race mode (did the straight line of the nordschleife track in reverse order). Maybe I have to edit the manual gearbox settings or make a new gdf file.

Can't import vanilla cars (the vhf files) of Shift 2 unleashed, in Zmodeler or in the trail version of 3DSIMED. In Zmodeler the car looks real weird (you can compare it with the damage model of the 599 GTO) with "spikes" sticking out everywhere and in 3DSIMED I get a error message "Unknown Size". Both programs work if I import a modded car (eg. the ferrari's on this site or the cars from WinnerSD47).

Weird, Importing Vhf.bml's works fine for me. It's editing and exporting the whole thing that causes errors....what is your version of zmodeler?

Right Thankyou JYdougNY...I've renamed and applied textures as you have stated above.....however there are some materials which have remained behind or left out in your statement before. I.e- these materials in particular are one's such as
eg- "Material__11" "Material__12" "Material__16" "Material__14" "Material__15" Also was it a mistake to import the model as a single form as opposed to importing it in it's groups?? I've renamed the materials as WinnerSD47 has shown me in his pictures (based on the textures of the jaguar XKR) Is this the correct procedure? I've renamed the textures of the FORZA model according the the "jag_xkr" names shown in Winner's picture. |

1. Extract all files into game folder or use JGSME Mod Enabler for save installation. 2. Add this line: "vehicles\LANCIA_STRATOS\@LANCIA_STRATOS.crd" to vehicles.lst located in SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED\vehicles folder. 3. Add this line: "" to tyreshd.xml located in SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED\vehicles\physics\tyres folder which line at point 3??? Thanks |

This happened when I imported a GRID model into zmodeler as a whole car rather than just parts at a time. When I imported just the body to test it, it came out fine. Some parts come out just fine, where others are just botched. |

So I'll tell you what I DID get from your description. So I can delete the extra materials from the wheel textures, or at least make them transparent? Right I didn't import several models from Forza studio only the lod1 of the TVR so basically at the point I'm at I need to break the model up into it's respective parts. Am I right?? Next time I attempt this I'll definitely do it your way though....Importing the various parts separately and renaming materials for all sounds slightly more easier than the trickier splitting of the mesh. Okay, My knowledge of actually using tools in Zmodeler is minimal though.....I was okay with the material part of things because I've experimented with them whilst trying to fix the 458..... ANYWAYS.. I don't know how you split the mesh, I mean I could probably figure out the means on my own but I don't want to use a wrong method and screw up everything..... I've been told what to name each partition but is it okay if I double check with you?? Also could you elaborate how exactly I would use exisiting BMT files?? I've apparently used XKR names to rename certain materials of the sagaris what exactly do I need to do?? (sorry but you might need to spell it out for me lol) |

Go to Shift 2 Unleashed/Vehicles open the DLC1, DLC2, DLC 3 files in notepad, delete everything in them and save each with a full stop..... Play the game, open car lot, you should have them there.... |

so basically its need more effort for almost the same quality. Well, at least we still have better source with plenty amount of model. Until another even better "mesh can be converted" title coming.

btw how do you unpack BNK files??? I mean I downloaded the tool but there must be a newer version of it as I'm have trouble unpacking the certain BNK files in the f12 berlinetta mod.

Even though I can't stand Enzo's, nice job there JDougNY
Helps when you are really familiar with the files. Same for me and modding X3 Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude |

Hello, I am also trying to import the cars from Ferrari Legends into Zmodeler, but it is giving me an error. I am not familiar with importing shift or tdu models. If you could tell me how you got them to import, I would greatly appreciate it. I think you mentioned setting up the proper folder structure, but I don't know if that is all you had to do, and also what the proper structure is. Thanks for any insight you can provide. Ted |

Thanks, JDougNY,
I got your reply, although it seems to be gone from the thread now, I got it in my email. I am not trying to mod S2U, I just want the models out of FL for renders, etc. Thanks for the tips, I will see if I can get it to work. |

JYdougNY, how do you do it man??? Everyone's loading you with questions yet you still persevere and help us out as much as you can. Once again thank you.
And Winner! I can't wait dude!! Thanks for taking the time to look into it...I know If I had tried to do it myself, the quality of all of this would be pathetic. |

Also Winner The brakelights on the viper aren't working.... there's a missing texture on the rear window of the 458 italia making it perfectly transparent, it should be darker...
Also winner did you rip the model of the cockpit?? |

A fire began in the Barker Commons apartment building on E Main St in downtown Fredonia. It quickly spread and consumed most of the building. The building was mostly occupied by students of SUNY Fredonia. I arrived on the scene shortly after I heard the sirens go by. The entire block was sectioned off by police. Spectators and residents watched as fire fighters tried to contain the flames from both sides of the building.
