I was just about to post the same comments! Really nice skin but what a shame the positioning of the numbers is just out. Over the bonnet grille it looks crazy and crinkled, and you just need to move the side door numbers towards the rear a little.

Sadly these types of debate start out as an interesting collection of points, then get irrational and emotive, attracting stupidity and xenophobia until they are closed down.
Can we try to have an intelligent discussion about these important issues without resorting to personal insult trading?
Otherwise the thread will just end up getting binned or cleaned.

[Edit: lol, I see XCN has already closed it!]

I have found no detriment on line. You notice a hit with all 20 ai on the road, but thats not entirely the extra skin sizes.
I have an ATI X1300pro card and a dual core 2.1 processor. It runs fine at 1680 x 1200 (widescreen lcd montor), in fact the higher res skins look superb on line - I love this feature.

That is really funny! I was spectating on same server when you posted the comments, everything looked normal to me so it must be something on yr machine. Have you modified the suit skin files at all?

For me, this thread reinforces the astonishing naivity of the 'green lodbby' beyond doubt. Wake up, grow up and realise these soi-called global-warming envirnomental issues are just another manipulation of the polotics of the community, which are so well focussed on middle class ill-informed complacency.

Quote from Boris Lozac : i am not even sure does Scawen even wants that in the first place, and that makes me sad..

Don't be sad about an assumption you make that may have no grounding in fact or truth. Be happy he's given us such a great sim to play with.

I've thought a lot about this in the past. Random failures will be more irritation than immersion. Now if you input some failures related to how hard you are pushing the mechanics, then there's the gamble that can add loads to gameplay, style and strategy. But random failures - no way, it woould drive people away. It's not life, it's a game, it's a sim. People want to have fun. Random failures may be too realistic for a leisure sim, IMO.

As long as its something based on a real life car, not some future fantasy sci-fi creation, I'm more than happy with the current offerings.

Quote from mikey_G :at rscnet someone is trying to make such a simulator that pulls your head into certain directions. Might prove a little bit dangerous with lfs' collision physics

Especially those idiots that insist on ramming you at the end of the race, imagine all those litigation claims for whiplash...

Quote from ekze :Kyoto was capital of Japan is the past... baka >_<

As a point of trivia, Kyoto actually means "Old Capital", but there's no racetrack there - I've been a few times but never found one.

i'm offended by your shocking abuse of the english language and the total lack of worth of your post. Now go away and come back when you have a better idea. (and when you can spell better...)

Quote from KMSpeed :
All the above imho are not very difficult to get fixed in a single patch.

LOL! All these really easy little tweaks to the a.i. makes me wonder why on earth no-one has sorted it all out before. Have you tried asking Scawen for a job, maybe help him get S3 sorted, that should only take a few more patches? Two, maybe three weeks work

Quote from Tweaker :But Scawen has said himself that after patch X he wants to get started on fixing the AI. And he invisions it being a long haul of hard work to get them working right, and maybe just a few weeks to get a few kinks knocked out currently, but nothing perfected. Since Scawen has mentioned it, I think it is highly likely that AI will start to undergo improvements for Y.

Saying that he will start work on the AI after patch X release is a very different statement to saying that patch Y will have all the ai issues sorted out, which your earlier post sort of implies. This is inaccurate and misleading. Be nice though, wouldn't it?

Quote from Tweaker :The AI are currently in development, and should be fixed sometime after Patch X (I guess Patch Y). For a while now the AI have never worked right, so be patient, they will be fixed soon.

I guess fixing the AI will take far more than the next patch. I think a better guess might be S3 but I'm purely speculating. Don't raise your hopes for a fully functional a.i. with patch Y!

Raaz: "Playing for a couple of years" and can't manage to save up £1 per month for the full game?
This may seema bit harsh but with this lame attitude why on earth do you imagine anyone would rush to your aid? Sooner or later you will have to learn to stand on your own feet and start to live up to the realities of life. The people around you are not there to make your life easier, they are there to compete with you. Don't be such a wet loser, if you really want the game, think of a way of earning the money needed rather than adding to the other lame begging letters that keep appearing on this forum. It's pathetic.

The sort of people that cause this offence are not part of the valuable community that supports LFS and on-line racing. Luckily they are a very small minority but it is inevitable with the www that people will be offended in some way by the actions of the abusive fraction,; immature and insecure people who hide behind the annonymity of the internet.
The devs cannot take responsibility for the quality of on-line play.
I choose not to let my kids play online yet as they are not, in my view, old enough to handle the possibilities of the insults and foul language that exists on the internet, and I choose not to expose them to it, so that is the choice at the end of the day - it is sadly virtually impossible to police thus must be either faced, ignored or avoided by staying offline. Even if they did not know the colour of your skin, there is also the fraction that decide for a laugh to start calling people naz!s if they see a german flag, it's not really a racist or political slur, the sort that come out with these comments really don't understand the true concept of the term, they are just trying to wind people up; provoke a response. The best thing to do is not allow them to provoke a response in you. If they see you are offended then they have won and they move on to try again against someone else.

Birds prefer quiet county trees and bushes, not noisy smelly race tracks. Maybe the odd crow jumping down to nibble off some piece of roadkill before the cars come round for the next lap...that would really complete my entire on-line racing experience. Watch the sicko's swerving off the racing line to clip the crow. Reminds me of Half Life 2 where you can go round wasting your bullets on the crows and the seagulls.

having yourself and your crash target removed from a server due to virtual death will play right into wreckers hands, imo, and would generally be an idea to file away in the big pants section.

This started out as a post for help on graphics cards, but as we all know LFS is cpu-hungry, not GPU.
I got slated last month with geeks sneering at my cheap gpu which was 'well below par' for the rest of the system. Thing is, with LFS, you can use a cheaper budget gpu with no problem as long as you have the cpu power.
The problem then hits with other games where gpu-resources are more important. But we're here for lfs so it's a question of priorities.

its not obligatory to pay, if you want the 1024 skins to auto-d/load the £1 per 2000 skins helps towards the extra bandwidth costs.
If you don't want them and are happy to continue with the 512 skins then simply don't pay the £1.
Its called a choice.
Oh, and it also empties out old skins not seen on line any more, after a certain time period.
