I think I could agree with this. Even if nothing is added, maybe the demo would be better without the turbo. It's simply too much to handle for newbies, and with the current tire model issues combined with the lackluster default setups, it gives a bad impression.
It's not pointless. FWD and RWD feel different enough to require at least one of each.
I think what's really needed is a way for the client to get a message from the master server when going online if there's a new patch out. Then inform the user in an annoying popup that the current version is out of date before displaying the atrophied server list. Or better yet, an autoupdate function(that would probably eat too much bandwidth though).
Look again. All the cars FXO GTRs. Apparently they have gotten it on tv, but I don't know if it's a normal or public access channel. What's wrong with Mexico? :P
LFS racing on TV! It looks like they aired five races so far. It's a pretty good production too for its limited budget, The only thing I missed was time gaps at each lap/sector. I hope they'll get enough sponsor interest to fund more shows.
If you're going to mod the videos for a looping display, I suggest you concentrate on shots that highlight the physics, especially the suspension. Things like bouncing on kerbs in corners, side to side weight shifts in a chicane, the slight 4 wheel drift you can get on long sweepers with the road cars or a downhill run of AS Historic's "eau rouge" in an LX. When I watch videos, I find that kind of visual really makes LFS' realism stand out. The GTRs sure look pretty, but because they're set so tight and don't bounce around much, it tends to "feel" like you could be watching any other game like GTR or GT4.
Nice design on the website, very easy to navigate. I've been waiting for another league that caters to North American time zones, so I'll definitely take part.
I tend to leave empty servers off because of the long time it can take to download the list only to end up with mostly empties and a load of all car servers. I know you can use the side buttons flip through the classes, but it would be convenient to have something to show them all at once. It would also be easier to leave empty servers on when getting a full list to quickly flip through the side filters later, as you'd be downloading a significantly smaller server list.
