Quote from ATC Quicksilver :an extended training section which includes flag rules and....

First you would obviously need yellow flags that work properly! I hope it's on Scawen's list right after whatever he is working right now. At the moment they are really unreliable, sometimes there is nothing on the track to slow for and sometimes they don't work at all and you get dangerous situations. Some kind of marshal intelligence would be interesting.

Quote from The Very End :Now it ain`t. Rcraptor and many other racing games just pump up the growl and deep sounds in the engine, so it`s like a monster driving. I`m not fan of that, and as people above say, informative sound first, not the fancy - fancy EA racing sounds.

It's not THAT bad in rF to be honest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3AkULYBkMo
If you have been lucky enough to hear a real F1 car, you know it does sound like a freaking monster. The sound shakes the earth, rips your head off and uses it as ashtray.

Doesn't lifting off count as engine braking too? That is useful and very strong in the BF1 for example.

Part of my previous post was rubbish, I admit. But it always feels faster when you slam your gears down quickly, it just might be that it shows in the clock because better corner speed but you think it's because better braking. Still, braking would be much more interesting game with proper damage model I think.

Quote from e2mustang :Yeah,but thats also kills the engine in lfs,u can hear the engine is like "popping" or what.
Anyway using engine brake and brakes will make u faster,well it made me

Yes, but it takes some very rough shifting and time. In short sprint you wont notice it.

Well, the major difference between FWD and RWD is of course that in a RWD car too small gear will lock the rear tires and you might spin out. It's always good to use engine braking combined with normal braking, it usually helps you slow down better. It's never good cost down with your clutch down I think, use it only to change gears.

But the problem in LFS is that the damage model is way too forgiving. You can see that very good in the FWD cars, people just slam the gear from 5th to 2nd in no time helping them to slow down a lot. Do that in real life and you would probably kill your engine or gearbox.

Liked it more than the previous episodes, nice work. I especially liked the MoE critics parts you picked up some balls, I can totally agree on what you said.

Quote from Mazz4200 :
Yeah, thats what i'd like to know too. The original team that set up A1gp have all left and the whole thing is serious financial trouble.

So what exactly are Ferrari getting out of it ?, money laundering for the Mafia perhaps ?. Then again why are so the Uber-Rich all buying up English football teams ? surely it can't be for profit ?

Well, what I meant was that Ferrari probably wouldn't have any motivation to do "politics" and tricks because every team will be running their components and pays for them already. Besides, they would probably get caught anyways because I'm sure the cars are still tested and components randomly picked for every team or something similar. And that would put them in serious trouble because they have legal contracts with the other teams to supply the same parts.

But to answer yo your post. I doubt anyone would do any business if it wasn't for profit. Maybe it gives Ferrari another technical platform to try out things they can't do in F1 where the rules are mostly random for every season. Or maybe they just have lots of left over pieces from failed or canceled projects.

But what kind of tactics they could pull off being the only supplier? It's not that they could get more press coverage or something because there is no competition for them.

Quote from Stang70Fastback :What I hate most of all is this stupid rule about how if you crash you need to get off the track (Shift + S) immediately so that other people don't have to avoid you...

I know hell will break loose and FM will come down hunting me when I say this, but that seems only be the rule on silly oval servers. Try any circuit server and there is no such rules. I personally hate it too.

Quote from SamH :Ferrari's entry into A1GP spells the end of my interest in A1GP. I liked A1GP because of its freedom from, and alternative to, the filthy side of motorsport. With Ferrari working its way into A1GP, all is lost IMO.

Oh please, aren't all the cars the same?

Quote from Albieg :I just mean that Nobel Peace Prizes are always political since they are awarded to give particular attention to some issues, but they are in some cases utterly undeserved.

I actually didn't meant to quote you that much, but yes, I think you are right. It gives more attention to the issue, and the other hand Gore is the one who made such a huge fuss about the whole thing.

And everyone, you can say it, Tristan is an idiot. No need to hide it.

Quote from BlueFlame :Sweden doesn't have one either... OR Norway...

Well...when the fastest guy from those two countries is Petter Solberg, they wouldn't have much chances would they?

Oh, wait...they got that DTM Ekström too, almost forgot him!

Quote from deggis :
Never heard about this though

Me neither. Although if I had to guess who would pull it off, my money would have been on Salo. He is moving from driving to some sort of off the track mogul business it seems. But still wondering how much money it would need (not that I'm a crazy billionaire).

Quote from Albieg :Gore, Nobel Peace Prize 2007. Just as worthy as Kissinger (that is, completely unworthy)? Only the future will tell.

Bah..was about to post that. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7041082.stm

Don't know if he deserved it, and don't know if the things he says are true. But I do think that is stupid to be wasteful and harm the nature, it's just plain ignorance.
