It's done with the intention of stopping the oligarchs being able to fund anything towards the War effort in ukraine(due to all being close friends of Putin), its insane how rich some of them are
, the intention of the sanctions on Russia's economy is the same thing, so purchases of new equipment would eventually be harder(if originally purchased from UN countries. Agree with you regarding that its only Putins voice that matters, it is a shame that sanctions that make life harder for the Russian people, will not alter Putins actions.

Oh i see like they hadn't started to do with Crimea in 2014, and now in Melitopol, after arresting Ivan Fedorov (Elected Mayor) and installing there own Pro-Russian mayor Galina Danilchenko.
How does saying "Slava Ukraini" relate to "Heil Hitler" ?
Russia is trying to conquer Ukraine , conquering defintion - to overcome and take control of (a place or people) by military force.
So yes Slava Ukraini or Glory to Ukraine, in defending their country from Putins Invasion.
Do you think its a legitimate war ?
Plus never ever read anything on Twitter, the same as i wouldn't read any news on any government or state owned media sources.

With the latest statement being made by Sergey Rudskoy - saying the "first stage" of what President Vladimir Putin calls Russia's "special military operation" has been mostly accomplished and that Russian forces will now concentrate on "the complete liberation of the Donbas".
Id reckon that Putin now knows that the complete takeover of Ukraine is not going to be possible due to the amount of time already spent trying and the loses of his army.
Its been over a month and they've made very little progress across Ukraine. Putin will never admit defeat, as it will make him seem weak to those around him.
I believe he will now change his plans and say that what he as called the "Liberation" of Donbas is/was his goal.
I personally believe that his plan will be to slowly take over places like Donbas which will be the same as extending the border of Russia more inland across Ukraine.
He will/has install a pro-russian mayor/office in Donbas and falsely claim its people had been happy to have been "liberated", the same as he had in the past.
I could be totally wrong, this is just how i am reading the situation, its near to impossible to guess what is going on in Putins mind.
What will have shook Putin is that the War has made him seem weaker, and shown that Ukraine is a very strong and determined force.
Ukraine and its people have a lot to admired, with their strength and bravery shown.
Slava Ukraini !

A twisted reality in ones mind is a fantasy, facts become twisted out of any semblance to reality making it into fantasy.
One of the joy's of using Windows
Agree with you, but remember in his mind it would be a twisted reality. Putin has never been bothered about what the outside world thinks of him, by controlling all information and news within Russia he is trying to make himself out to be some sort of saviour and liberator.
I myself would say that he would believe that the only true immortality is to never be forgotten in history. Two ways of doing this is either doing something good or something evil. He chose the latter

tried that, with playstation pad it helps keep a smoother corner without losing the rear( at least with FBM), helped me hit high 11s. Not so sure with an xbox gamepad though.
I had also used wheel turn comp to 0 with the setup thats in shared setups here on LFS but with a much lower steer smooth.

Very true
Hes know saying that the first phase of the Ukrainian war is over and now focus is on the complete Liberation of donbas, shows how warped his mind is, also makes it sound like the objective's changed slightly but could be a distraction of some sortIts quite possible that once he has taken over parts of Ukraine, he will then pull his forces back and try and keep the places he has took in the hope that Ukraine won't try and take them back in the hope of peace.

Putin at 70 years old, knows that it won't be many more years that he has to leave a legacy, straight after taking over power from yeltsin he made it clear that it hurt him when the USSR ceased to exist. Of cause he wants to be remembered as something great and this is just one way he can do it.
Destroying the world by causing WW3, wouldn't leave that many alive to remember any legacy of his.
Maybe he would stop if he took Ukraine, but i doubt it. Remember what happened with Chechnya upon coming into power, maybe he wants to go out the same way he went in.

Agree with the use of local time rather than UTC. Just makes it a little more clearer for the racer instead of them having to try and work it out for their timezone
For them to attack over something that happend over 80 years ago would be pushing things to far and the world would have to act, regardless of the ramifications.
I do think that if Putin did succeede in taking Ukraine, he would then move on to try and rebuild the Russian Empire, i also believe that the way NATO responded when we got threatened with NUKES, was a test to see how we will react in the future.
Here's how i open Windows Event Viewer
Right click(mouse) the Windows tab/button - then it should be the 3rd option from the top
or
Right click the Windows tab/button - select Run - Type Msconfig and press enter - select the tools tab - then select Event Viewer.
Someone will need to let you know where to go from there to find exactly where the LFS crash would be listed, i would've thought it would be in Windows Logs then Applictations but i'm unable to confirm this
That would be very helpful to add
Agree with you, also our own judgements on our experience can be vague, so believe it wouldn't be useful enough
Totally agree with you on that one. I've raced a fair bit on Assetto Corsa but it has never grabbed my full attention like LFS had.
I think LFS has many strengths, that the other sims will never have the same
See that's an opinion based on your experience. People do race as michal 1279 shown , 50 active racers started in the first event race, then it decreased as it progressed onto the subsequent races.
Id guess some don't like to continue if they believe they're not going to do or become the best.
Maybe it could work better if active teams have it so many members took part in event leagues from start to end and events had a racer standing and team standing(points).
The same happened years ago when id ran event races, at the start they would be packed but then after a few of races the numbers would dwindle.
Many race on ours and other demo servers, the struggle or aim is to get many to become licensed drivers, which is why we had held events for them to win licenses which kept the numbers up on demo events.
The problem with licensed events is they're already licensed, so its finding some incentive to keep them interested.

I might be wrong, but also the deb.log file in your LFS folder might be of use also, at least i think thats the file that would show if the crash is happening at a certain process of loading
To get a good and fair political system, i think we need people that come from the same life as the majority, not people that have lived a sheltered life away from the everyday problems the many.
Look at how people from all over the world get along so well on LFS or other online platforms apart from a few that most likely troll , we may disagree on subjects, but we don't breed hate or resentment from it, yet politically those in power seem to always want to disagree and not shift on the issues at hand. War should never be an option
We are supposed to evolve as the human race, and we should know better than to think war solves anything, the only thing it does produce is hate and resentment and suffering
The best thing that i love about liveforspeed, is getting to know and talk to people from all over the world, its shown me that no matter where we come from, we the people are all the same and want the same peace

Hello , i used a playstation gamepad for around 5 years and got fairly fast at some car and track combo's, for a playstation pad i found that having the analogue steer smooth option set to around 0.30 - 0.70 depending on each car, and Steer angle set to 90 degrees with wheel turn comp set to 0.69, worked well for me.
Car setups also helped a lot. The thing i didn't like when i tried an xbox gamepad was the long stem on the analogue sticks as it gave too much movement, where as with a shorter stem on a playstation pad gave me small incremental movements
Theres a lot that i don't agree with Russell Brand about, BUT he does speak a some sense sometimes regarding regarding democracy in principle. As myself and samH spoke about earlier on, to not have democracy would be to have dictatorship tyranny inequality unfairness, i would say that most democratic countries don't have the first 2, but the latter two we have the world over, even though people try to make us believe we don't.
From what i have learnt, the leaders of the parties banned are close friends to putin and/or Russian oligarchs, so i can understand him banning them on that basis, but i supposed it's a damned if you do and damned if you dont situation as it could be taken as anti democratic
Same as myself, Theres a lot i don't agree with him about, but inside all of the stuff i don't agree with, theres snippets of stuff that i think he gets spot on. He seems to be passionate about what he speaks about.
All the while racer numbers are low and many people i meet on Assetto Corsa that are good and frequent racers have never heard of LFS. You either get gamers through marketing (real marketing) which cost or putting it out there in anyway possible to get noticed.
Times have changed for us older ones and its now the younger audience that needs to be brought it, and in this day and age, places like steam have 120 million users, so its ideal
How can having the demo of LFS on steam be anything but benefical, its like free advertising. I have seen it work with Origin only games like Battlefield.
Having the demo on Steam then have a link to buy licenses direct from LFS, also mention all the different events that on, it could attract some of the more non casual racers who had thought LFS was dead

True, running our demo servers over the past 11 years i've seen people progress from one end of the spectrum to being great racers.
As you say we all started in the same way.
I don't think LFS should ever become a steam only sim so not everyone would need to be running steam, but those who often use steam have it running in the background anyway so it would be no different for them
Maybe some form of statistics similar to or added to LFSWorld stats could be more inviting to people joining Events, even though some wont admit it, we like to have good stats. Like events joined and how many podiums won in events.
I understand that this would not be a quick fix and take some time to implement, if at all possible to do

No need to apologise, you sound very passionate about what you speak, and after some thought, i know you're right about what democracy entails, i let my emotions cloud my judgement with the situation in Ukraine, i do tend to get defensive over it all, after all id suprised if our prime minister would still be in london if we were to be attacked in the same way, i admire zelensky considering he started as a comedian(even though our own politicians are comical at times), plus all the destruction and death of Ukrainian people
Respect

I guess that by me saying that it was right for him to ban the parties was wrong of me to say, but i do think that with the current situation its necassary for the moment. The parties he banned are ran by close friends/allies of Mr Putin
I like Alexandr , he's a very wise and trueful speaking person
apologies if i had come across as argumentive and like i wasn't listening to what you had to say , it just took me about 10 post to untangle my thoughts on it

But we the UK have something resembling democracy, or at least its not like in Russia.
dictatorship tyranny inequality unfairness is the opposite of democracy , both the UK and Ukraine don't have the first two, the latter 2 i think most have.
Il admit i probably have a biased view, after knowing and watching what Ukraine is going through and admiring zelensky for having the balls to stay. I just don't think that Putin should have any chance of sneaking his way into taking Ukraine
Even in democracy human rights have to be protected, the same as in freedom of speech
