Is there a way to get the tour tracker video full screen? I don't really care about the map and stuff, I just want the video.

drag the borders
Flatballer
02-22-09, 01:09 PM
I did. I can't drag them any further down/up. All I can do is drag them sideways, which doesn't do anything after a certain point. I've still got about 2 inches on the bottom and 4 inches on top that it won't let me drag it into. Like, my firefox borders and adress bar and the top of the flash player and all that.

I'm using the Adobe AIR application and get the video to take up the full window.

bdcheung
02-22-09, 01:23 PM
yeah that was pretty ridiculous. i would have thrown a bottle at that kid.
Flatballer
02-22-09, 01:26 PM
Hmm, I'm using that now and still can't get it full screen. About the best I can do is the 640x480.
Flatballer
02-22-09, 01:26 PM
well it almost happened.. kids getting in the way..

Yeah, that was so stupid. Ridiculous.

This is the best I can get it. It's zoomed and drug. It won't drag any higher/lower.

WHY is liquigas doing all the work that astana should be doing??? bribed with kazak oil money??

Would the wisdom of Cavendish going in the break be that he gets those first sprint points and clinches the jersey for the end?

Random place for him to be otherwise...
Flatballer

WHY is liquigas doing all the work that astana should be doing??? bribed with kazak oil money??

I was wondering that too. I think they said it at one point, but I didn't hear what they said.

how nice of VS to show the tour of Qatar..
bdcheung
02-22-09, 02:02 PM
Why the hell is VS showing the Tour of Qatar?!
Treefox
02-22-09, 02:02 PM
Floyd going for the stage?

Would seem...


Is Cavendish actually in the break? The online thing says he is, but I've not seen him in the video...
Beaker
02-22-09, 02:06 PM
Speed 14mph, Grade 7%. Ouch.
Treefox
02-22-09, 02:08 PM
Why do they keep on filming horses and cows?
bdcheung
02-22-09, 02:08 PM
wtf... tour of qatar...

02-22-09, 02:15 PM
VS... like sloppy seconds... :lol:
Flatballer

Speed 14mph, Grade 7%. Ouch.

Yeah, I saw that. Ridiculous.

Did you see them averaging like 34 mph while Liquigas was working on chasing the break?
Beaker
02-22-09, 02:24 PM
Yeah, I saw that. Ridiculous.

Did you see them averaging like 34 mph while Liquigas was working on chasing the break?

Exactly. I'm happy if I can average 8mph on 7%.

We need to nip this "deep dish" thing in the bud before it gets worse. It's going to get really confusing if people start calling deep profiles "deep dish". Deep dish is already a wheel term, but not for that.

This is an amazing turnout. I'm so happy about this. I feel like I'm watching The TdF almost. Tons of people lining the roads the entire way.

Treefox
02-22-09, 03:13 PM
Do the fans seem a bit more loony here than you'd see in Europe?
Treefox
02-22-09, 03:14 PM
Unbelievable. Haven't seen antler guy yet this year

Yeah; he was there the other day - and a longhorn too.
Treefox
02-22-09, 03:14 PM
Too many Speedos.
