What sort of credit are you speaking about, Sir?

Can't stand people (younger kids especially) whose every 2nd word is a swearword. I got no idea how that's funny.

Quote from Zay :

Im not saying you have to be that old on the forum.Im saying maybe 10 and under shouldnt be on the forum

Ahh, that yes.. of course 12 would be reasonable I think

Fair enough. But I don't think the forum should be made for only over 16s or 18s~ just because some people take it too far. It's a public place, therefore people shouldn't post inapproperiate images or say rude things.

I'd rather keep the children in rather than semi-dirty avatars or signatures!

Children should be allowed to take part in the community and I mean... lighten up! It's not like the children haven't seen it all already lol

And out of curiosity, what sorta stuff are you speaking about? Because I personally do not recall seing something strincly n18 here.

Oh yeah and that! Very true... electronic transfer of money can be a big issue sometimes as a kid might not have a credit card. Yes he might have the money but wont be able to buy it! It's not always as simple as, speak to your parents, hand them the money and just get it that way. Parents can either be concerned about the security. Simply not support and not agree on spending money on some weird game... and so on... there are many issues that a person might have. If ya take one thing for granted it doesn't mean that it's the same for everyone.

I would probably have gotten S2 license a long time ago if there was a way of getting the license in some shop or whatever.

I thought someone was gonna reply saying that! Too late to edit my previous post now.

I didn't mean people who haven't got money at all, I meant folk who live on the margin. And, this is me assuming, but I don't think it touches you personally, please correct me if I'm wrong ("Austria is one of the 12 richest countries in the world in terms of GDP (Gross domestic product) per capita").

Of course you somehow afford broadband and pay for it every month... but if you're living from one payment to another, you prioritise things(Food, water, heating etc...) and you might not have any cash left to spend on games, and if you do get some cash left there's always a lot more important things you may require to get, or pay for.

So technically you could argue if it's "don't wanna spend" or "cannot afford", circumstances can be different, it's argueable but the fact is you might constantly not have the money for it.

Don't forget that the price of LFS license in some countries can easily be pretty much 1/8th of your monthly wage! Rather than 5 hours of work on minimum wage (here in Scotland)

And again... there's always a way around something! Always Having a limit wouldn't benefit LFS, so there's no point even to bother.

Quote from 5haz :

Or.. or.. or.. or, you can try this: "The best way to put an end to a stupid question is with a polite and sensible answer". There really is no need to get all upset and anal over a forum thread.

I laugh at all you fools coming up with ideas for the final solution to the demo problem. (Godwin's law!)

That is so true... answering the question or at least staying quiet is always a better solution than flaming and telling whoever it is that he is stupid.

Time limit on LFS license? I don't think that would change anything, if there was a time limit on LFS I'm 100% I wouldn't have bought the game after it expired, nor even bothered getting S1 license like I got now... (Thanks to my mate for it)

As I said earlier on, it makes no difference whatsoever when you get the license as long as you get it, is it so hard to understand that... It also sort of amuses me be to be honest to see people defending LFS almost as if they developed it and think people shouldn't play THEIR game free of charge! Lighten up! His name is Scawen and he's the man that makes up rules, he says it is unlimited, then it is! Accept it!

Well the point is... it makes no difference whether you'll get a license after a week or 3 years as long as you'll get it. Cause either way developers will get exactly the same amount of money, so there's no point for S2ers to be complaining about Demo users getting "more than they deserve" and not supporting the developers. Bearing in mind that they're not the developers and should mind their own business.

Loads of you do not understand the concept of not being able to afford stuff (Yes that does exist, it's not made up just to scare wee children!) and there's other reasons too... (and no, you do not always have to know them!)

And there's a sense of "we don't care bout your opinion" just because someone's a Demo user... (Being S1 is like being half evil)

Found it straight away

Show off! There were more though...

Quote from Dario378 :

Is there any Valentino Rossi's skin for fbm?

Yes, I went through all the pages looking for some girly skins and saw some valentino rosi skins! Have fun browsing... or try using search which is well useless.

Quote from Johnny Mountain :

My Petronas-skin for FBM. I added the helmet too. Enjoy!

What's the point of stealing other people skins? That's just sad, in fact.. that's even worse than making a pink skin for yourself!

Ok, I created a skin for myself, although if anyone wants it, feel free to ask! I just feel quite confident that no one on the earth will want it so ain't gonna bother uploading the skin

Benefits of the skin:
1. Blinds the other drivers when they see you in their rear view mirror, therefore distracting their attention and giving you opportunity to overtake them!
2. The colours used on the skin will make majority of the drivers go "awwww" and drive carefully around you, hopefully... not bumping into you.
3. Others will laugh and crash into a wall whilst laughing their arse off.

Ok and here's the preview, any comments are welcome!

P.S. Is it ok to upload it into LFS world? "Go gently" isn't offensive... or is it...?

Pink Power!

Quote from XCNuse :

I bet we can make it happen.. take a picture of your whole room from the door or somewhere so we can figure this out.

I landed up making my room at college in 3d in 3DSMax (vinyl tile on ground made for easy measurements )

But as far as it goes, that sounds like a bit tight fit! I'm ~40cm from chest to where I hold the wheel but like I said I sit kinda close and am kinda short so..

Okay : ) I'll try to take pictures tomorrow... well technically today as it's 1am.. but it's too late now Thanks a loooooot for help !

Thanks for the replies! Ehm.. personally I wouldn't have too much trouble with the shifter being on either sides as I only moved to UK 4 years ago... but thought if I'm living here I might as well get used to using the shifter with my left hand if I got G25! That's all to be honest... not sure whether it'd be a bad habit.. to get used to shifting with right...

I wouldn't really want to be replacing speakers, unless in very distant future if I saw a need for it - after getting a wheel. If that ever happened in first place.

Now XNCuse, thanks for the measurements... So basically the wheel is stickin out abotu 15cm fro mthe edge of the desk... so that would leave about 30 cm from the wheel and my body... which isn't exactly the sort of position I'd like to be in ... Might have some problems with the space... and I cant move the arm chair that easily as it sort of folds out into a bed... and I haven't got space just to simply "push it out" of the way...

Unless I actually sat on the arm chair... + made it higher somehow ... and pushed the screen closer to me.. but that doesn't seem like the most genius thing to do lol

Quote from Pendragon1989 :

For another 12, I could buy S2?

Yes
From s1 to s2 it's only 12 quid.

I am 185cm ... that's 6'1 I think? I'll look over your post a bit later on as I'll have to convert all the units to metric anyway I'm out for now.

Got a tiny room, and all the possible space is sort of used up by other things ... so no way of shifting the speaker to elsewhere... without making it too asymmetrical...

Well I'll be able to tell in 3 weeks or so whether I could afford a wheel or not... Might also have to sort out connection problems first.. as I can't imagine racing properly without solid connection all the time..

I guess all the space questions are pretty much answered now.. maybe except how much space it takes to sit back.. when the wheel is mounted on the desk as I got an armchair behind me... but apart from that seems like it could work...

Still if anyone has anything to add feel free... especialyl if it's to do with the type of wheels ya could get and so on..

Yeah I agree that the speakers could be smaller but I quite like these and wouldn't have cash for new ones ... yeah I could fit the wheel directly in front of the monitor... but only with the shifter on the right... + I moved the screen towards the right by 5-6cm ...

So now thinking if I'd have enough space backwards... as I don't think It'd liek to be steering with my elbows bent too much

Yep useless... totally agree on that... I just tend to have fun offline... south city long with lx6

Yep... there's pretty much no servers for S1 people : ) ... might be lucky to find one that hosts turbos or something like that.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Momo (Racing Force) has a detachable stick, which can be placed on either side. G25 has a completely separate shift unit that you can place where you want.

Yep... but I don't think I actually could have the stick on the left side of the wheel.. as then the wheel wouldnt be directly in front of the screen : ) Oh well...

Anyway any comments about wheels are welcome... the last one I had was when i was around 7-9 years old... so in other words.. haven't got clue about the wheels right now

I guess I could manage to get a wheel... seems like the cheapest I could get g25 for would be around 120 quid.. or so... How about 2nd hand market? Not worth taking the risk?

Also Personally I'd like to have the gearstick on the left instead of the right... But I don't think that'd be the most ideal layout on my table... if I got g25... would be quite curious to learn to shift properly + clutch...

What wheels would you recommend?

The point is that developers are definitely working on something and not wasting their time. So there's no real need to be complaining about the amount of time it is taking to finish off whatever they're doing! : )

It's worth the wait.. I'm sure

And great advert
