Quote from F1 mainiac :I am a poor guy and can't get a license. Can someone please help me.

Maybe someone would if you actually had done a decent amount of racing on the demo to show you're a) committed and b) fast, but from your lfsworld stats it's clear you aren't.

If you go on a server, press shift + F8 and you will see ping times above each driver's car, come back and tell us what numbers you see.

Couldn't you have just posted this instead?
  • We made a Joomla site and copied NDR's theme just to confuse people
  • We are planning yet another event that no one will care about
  • We have spammers on the forum, which has livened things up a bit

Quote from dekojester :When I redo the rulebook, I'll be sure to pay extra attention to the riting n grammer and me'll send a copy your way to proofread too if you like.

If you sent it to DWB it would be more American and thus more wrong than before

I haven't seen the Helio incident, but if he did are people saying that you shouldn't receive a harsh penalty for passing under waved yellows?

Quote from Kristi :I was trying to get off the racing line as quick as possible, it would have caused a bigger accident if i didnt put it in reverse and leave the racing line, where i stood. But I'm sorry for that one

That's pretty poor stuff, you could've done a full 360 but instead you turned the wheel the other way and put it in reverse and put it back onto the racing line...

I'm pretty sure the cars will be fine, after all most are just S2000 chassis with a heavier NGTC turbo engine stuck in, and they have to be built to cope with 45kg of success ballast anyway.

Quote from cris12821 :Why do people who play online games NEVER FRIGAN UNDERSTAND. 8yrs or not Obviously this game isnt very well known,because no matter what I search for racing games I've never ONCE in my life heard about this game which tells me it needs to be more fun.

the answer to ur Career question. I can very well make a Career to last u long. There would be races for every class and in that set there would be a total of 50 races each. The further u advance in the career the more cars and parts you unlock. You people think im stupid and dont know shit. But I can tell u this, I maybe only 16 years old but for my age im smart as **** when it comes to video game designing.

Call me stupid or treat me like i suck or dont know anything or my ideas are dumb but let me tell u this. You say my ideas suck or are just meaning it like that. If the company EVER added on a career and upgradable parts to this game I absoulutly GUARANTEE you that this game would become a well known game and very populated.

So let me get this right, once I win some races I get more parts for my cars. And then because I have some better parts than others I can beat them easier. Which means I get more parts, and the new people who join the game can't win because everyone else has better parts for their cars.

I doubt anyone would find that fun, to lose just because someone has better car parts than them. Do you think that would make this game popular?

Quote from cris12821 :
But Sometimes online racing games isnt just all about editing cars an racing. and when you dont know much about editing shit and stuff like that why should anyone bother to play.

No game teaches u step by step on how to edit ur car to make it better and nobody wants to take the time to read it or watch it.

and yes I have a registered S2 license under the name of Cris12821.

Yes I understand its mostly an online closed source game but you see thats the thing. Games like this cane get boring quickly because everyday your doing the EXACT SAME THING nothing changes.

If there was say a Career or a program built into the game that lets u build a car from chassis to engine to engine placement to fuel consumption and more. That way the game wouldnt just be more fun it would get more people to play it because of how it is.

Its not all about the object of the game which is race online all the time doing the same thing,sometimes its about the quality of the game.

....Plus in my version I have never ONCE saw ANYONE in multiplayer or Hot lapping.

You don't have an S2 account (see the "Demo racer" under your username on the left?), and if you've played with S2 content it's obviously a cracked version which doesn't let you go online.

Most people don't know enough about setup editing to start from scratch, most people just take a setup from somewhere else like setupgrid.net and maybe make some changes to suit.

A career, great, but what happens when you reach the end of that career path? LFS has been going for 8 years, could you design a career to last that long? And surely those with all the $ to build great cars would just beat all the new guys and make it pointless for them? Apart from setup changes all the LFS cars are the same for everyone, so you know it's the driving skill that wins the race and not because you have a bigger engine.

As for Gran Turismo, the developers Polyphony Digital have over 140 employees, shitloads of cash and a massive audience on consoles. LFS has 3 developers, not much money and a niche sim racing market on PCs. No comparison son.

Well either they lied on the radio to tell RC that they were off the track, or misjudged how close they were to the restart and thought they'd be able to get clear in (quicker) time.

From what I can see of the javascript it updates every 6 seconds.

There's also a program I was given that was created 2 years ago but never released to the public - I will ask the creator if he wishes to make it public for you to try.
