Oh no, not this again. Just leave it be, the devs are not dead at all, they're actually working harder then ever. I'm sure if you would stop posting such threads, they could work faster.

Dunno why but the Audi Quattro S1 and Lordi simply give me chills:

On a more serious note, some of the songs I listen to on a daily basis are from Enya:

Quote from livefornow :But Daniel you are in FXR so you wont be doing 1:10. I'm talking about FZR's that are already doing low 1:11's and might be able to do 1:10 in race.

Well if the FZRs can't do a 1:11:00-1:11:20 in qualy then I would be extremely happy since my PB with the FXR so far is 1:11:46 and I can easily do 1:11:50/60s. Guess the FXR isn't such an underdog, is it?

It seems I'm blind as a bat although if I'm not mistaken the Osella and the Norma have the same engine as the M3

Quote from aptitudex :Shutup u idiot, you have no idea what your talking about

Although his English might not be the best, more then understandable since it isn't his first language, he made a pretty good point there. You are extremely aggressive for no apparent reason really. He didn't attacked you, just said his opinion, no need to call him an idiot.
Just cool down a lot more, trust me, you are missing on a lot if you act like this.

Quote from aptitudex :Squid is a self proclaimed **** and should be treated as such.

Whatever your opinion is, you have to admit that he has a fair point of view. I mean if you actually analyze what his criticizing, you will agree with him.
But if you resent him so much, then why do you take his words so close to the heart?


Quote from aptitudex :And its always the same mindless idiots that run to suck up his ass.

I haven't really seen anyone "kissing his ass" in this thread.

Quote from aptitudex :Like I said, the video wasnt mind. I only ever made the one video which squid shot down in flames because it wasn't made the way he would make it.

Ok, but some people might put that under a question mark since you didn't said that in the first post, you said it after receiving some bad criticism

To be honest, that vid of yours was pretty bad.

I recommend the RaceSIM servers without any second thoughts. They're fast, cheap, reliable and the staff is quick in giving assistance.

Had the pleasure of knowing them for quite a few months now, they are a friendly and funny bunch

Actually if it weren't for their dedication, Formula Junior would have definitely remained a mere dream.

Good luck and may you provide good quality servers for many months to come

Quote from Alistair :i do form my own opinions and thats why i would not buy an american car
i would buy italian or japanese (or a tvr)

So what you're saying is that you'd say no to a cheaper, proven to be faster and reliable C6R and rather pick something way more expensive and slower coming from Europe or Asia just for the simple fact that they come from the respective continents?

Quote from aptitudex :Since posting the video Im supprised that 'SQUIDHEAD' hasnt opened his smart mouth and made a comment.

He didn't posted in your thread so now you're instigating him to do exactly that? Why try to start a flame war? He probably can't be bothered since he knows it would be a waste of time because you won't actually listen to what he says

To keep more on topic, the vid was pretty alright but it got repetitive after 1 minute and you should try to work on camera angles and on the vid's quality.

Anyway, since it seems that I have gotten positive replies, I think I should start to post it on some forums starting with this one (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=12) because of obvious reasons (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111711). The problem is that's where the lists end so I would like to kindly ask you if you know about other gaming forums?
Any link to such a forum would be greatly appreciated

Quote from BBO@BSR :What's an "average gamer"?
Does an "average gamer" want to play a hardcore sim?
Usually not, they usually play things like NFSU etc.
The "average gamers" I know tested LFS and then said "Oh no I have to practise a lot in LFS to be any good, I have no time for this, oh and it doesn't have NOS or a slow motion button ;(" and went back to TDU, NFS etc. or they moved on to a cruise server

Now that is a one million dollar question. Like I said in countless other posts, everything in life is relative so the definition of an "average gamer" is not really that clear or precise, atleast for me.
I'll tell you that when I used the term I was thinking about myself. I consider myself as an average gamer (although I've been a petrol head since I remember) and If I wouldn't have found LFS's demo in a CD from a gaming magazine, I would have missed one of the best sims out there for sure.

Quote from BBO@BSR :Anyway it doesn't make your statement "LFS isn't advertised" right.
LFS was and is advertised well over the last years and teh devs and all those unseen helpers did it right the way they did.
(proven by my links, the growing racers statistics Scawen posted some days ago and many other resources.
LFS in the News for example (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=27)

It's maybe not advertised in the way you want to have it
or the way you are used to it but it is advertised enough to let the devs live from the revenues of the license sales.

I think you just didn't do enough research on that specific topic.
There are a lot of others (good and some bad) reviews (=advertisements) out there (google it) in BIG print and online magazines (after S1 and S2alpha came out).



Anyway I'm not telling you what to write and what not, I just felt I had to write my opinion on that advertising stuff.
I would have maybe written something like this
"You probably never heard of it, due to the fact it isn't advertised the usual ways or like some big (i.e. EA) companies does it: Spend hundreds of thousends of dollars to tell people how astonishing and special a game is to make the user find out afterwards it was not". LFS is different...


As much as this sounds as an excuse, I should mention that I was planning on editing my previous post and adding "Fair enough, what kind of words should I use then?" phraze but I wrote it pretty late so I went to bed ,totally forgetting to add it.

Your choice sounds a bit extreme to me, I was thinking more about "You probably never heard of it, due to the fact it isn't advertised the usual way/pubicly/worldwide/etc. Definetely without the EA line since there are some people that buy their games and like them.

Quote from BBO@BSR :


What's the meaning of it all?
For me it doesn't make much sense to post a review of LFS in the official LFS forum?

I tried to make the kind of review you would find in a magazine. I posted it here to get the opinions of people that use it on a weekly basis and to tell me if I should change or add something. And if I get somewhat of an approval, I might post it on gamer forums.


Quote from BBO@BSR :
People who read this forum already know about LFS or use common sense and maybe click on the above links (LFS Main Site) to find out what it is.

I'm sorry but how will your average gamer find out about LFS if they've heard about it for the first time in this revie?


Quote from BBO@BSR :
I think that is completly wrong.
LFS is well advertised where it makes sense.
Keep in mind that it is an alpha version, how would you advertise it compared to other finished products?
In magazines or on TV?

There has been a lot of advertising during the last years. I remember the MPh'05 Show where one of our members did the promotion for LFS together with the Cyberseat guys and a special LFS version
(Fordman the 1st guy in the .avi video )
http://www.cyberseat.co.uk/easshow.htm

Or the Games Convention where 4 players.net had an exhibition stand and GP4Flo showed the visitors how to drive LFS.
And the Ocrana guys (now SK) had a big show on the Fujitsu Siemens / AMD booth.
http://www.triple7racing.net/content/view/59/48/

Or the last time the LFS devs made a special LFS version with the scirocco just for the Games Convention fair.

Or the intel racing tour in combination with the BF1 (and where the winner won a real car )
http://www.intel.com/corporate ... /deu/racingtour/index.htm

etc. etc.

So imo it's pretty well advertised in places and in combination with other things (racing seats, manufacturers of hardware or cpu like intel and amd etc.) where it makes sense.
Sure it's not advertised in the usual way (like TV or magazines) but with a lot of "free" work from many many community members.

Same thing actually, average gamers usually don't go to conventions so without main-stream advertisement ,magazines and TV reviews, they might never find out about LFS.
The fact that it isn't finished doesn't stops it from getting bought with money. So if you look at it from another point of view, you can say it's pretty much finished and it is just patched more frequently then other games.


Quote from BBO@BSR :
Last but not least did you played some iRacing?


To asnwer your question, yes but that's not the reason. That was me failing at making a cheesy iJoke mocking all the "i or e + word" named virtual shops and computer related products on the internet just to make them look cool


Quote from BBO@BSR :
just my 2 cents (but you asked for it)

Was that all ?!?
