Yeah thanks to few people dont flying aound my text and missunderstood everything.
Sure the points may be good really, but only for a race weekend but not everytime and non-optional...

If you play a realistic shooter (the example was mentioned) like maybe operation flashpoint nobody wondered and flames that there is a display for your health cause think over it without that...

In many points I totally dont understand many of the LFS community dont understand what they think writing posts full of LFS-fanboy-style (there are no other racinggames that could be good ) and the arcade thing...

But I didnt read any comment from the guys I meant in my post...

Quote from GWADanny :i think people would be very pissed off if they couldnt play for 2 weeks or had to wait 2 hours to getinto a car. Its not real life its simulating how the cars are driven. Some of that stuff could be good but 2 weeks if you have a bad crash is way too long

Thanks to read my post correctly, you absolutly missed the point...

THANKS for this awesome move LOVE it, I hope it comes out soon cause it will make LFS so MUCH better.
The sound is beatiful

Can you say if the other cars will get the sounds too? cause 'you' gave the helicopter camera one!?!

Thanks for the absolutly nice status

In the topic there are several words wich are content of my post.

This post is a bit ironic and I hope some driver think over it.

I read everytime "thats to much arcade", "its a simulation", "blablabla".
In some context that may be right or better its everytime right but do you want no fun while you playing?

Some time ago i write a threat over to display the time between you and the other drivers to make it more attractive and clearer. I wont flame about the answer about it would be to much arcade if you display it with colours (red, green) and so on, its only an example to think over the difficult way between a most realistic way of driving but dont give the fun away.
There are many examples for me, most are not to unrealitic and arcade but makes the game more attractive, gives much more fun and motivation while driving (for example the colours for a better split the the others).

The main state of my post is to let you think over where your request for simulation, simulation, non arcade, non arcade, non arcade, would bring LFS to.

1. If you drive against a wall, your car have to save and you have to walk to the pit (if you can) and drive with the second car.
That could be easylie integrated, LFS cannot display it (ATM) but your screen could be black for maybe 30mins - 2h.
<->
Long times at beginning maybe fun cause you drive save but not very useful for a funny drive.

2. You never can 'fly' to the pit if you want to learn driving better and drive over what you basically can.
<->
At the latest after 3 crashes or 'bad-time-rounds' its only boring borin boring....

3. If you make a hard crash LFS have to dont let you in for 2 - 10 weeks...

That are extreme examples I know and I could bring many more but its what you with your annoying answers want.
Im for realism too, LFS is a absolutly nice game and it makes fun to play but there is a barrier for realism on pc particularly in a game. Some things cannot be simulated and others should be integrated to bring more fun for only a little bit less realism...

Peace

I dont think so, if you have the data and did it with the website you should do it in fast.
But anyone could make a converter website <-> SQL/XML instead

Yeah, that would be good too, write it in green or red or better light to dark green if the time increases (to driver back) and yellow to red if it decreases...

That would be not much better I think for me its in a race everytime hard to press any other keys then I need to drive and there can many things to do that I dont have to click anything.
Your time to other drivers is one of the most important and intersting information in a race cause it is the gap between victory and lost... :P
So display the times in a list
1. Anton
2. Freddie +2,54sec
and so on and display everytime maybe 3 drivers and (so step one 1-3 step 2 4-6... like I wrote in my post 2 (in formel1) or easier only the times to your fight with front and back
Or number 3 automatic switching between tyre/damage and the times.

I prefer number one number 2 and 3 are the same...

Here a small suggestion in improvments request, I think you will read it there, but it should be compatible and short thing so maybe it could be made in opne of the next test-patches .

Or an automatic switch between tire display and the times if there were a split (for 3-5 seconds) and then switch back.
But I think there should be enough room for both tire/damage and the time.

yes that would be good in this context too, but I think harder to implement than my request

Ahh, sure, you are right if you wrote it and I tested it it came in my mind that I saw it some time ago but forgotten... :/
But as you said I mostly want to show damage or the tyres so I dont 'delete' my request.

It would be nice to have a temporaly time information comes in every new round or split.
If you make something with nice grafics I think only every round and if its only the time to the driver front and back it should come every split.

I dont think my equest is to hard to implement, so dont come with the argument of no priority for this...
Only write with the normal font the time differ to the others...
display time to drivers in front/back

Hi,

I wondered why I never see this request and don´t understand why it isn´t in LFS.
It´s very important for me to know in wich sector I´m wich time back.
And if you are much time back it would be more fun to drive if you know that you drive so and so faster than the drivers in front of you.

Its my most important feautre and it would make me more happy then a new car or something.
Very nice will be something like in formel1 television (and in netkar pro) but times to the driver in front of you and to the driver back would be enough for now

It looks like it had to be done
And DNF isnt really correct, cause it will be no result in any way there?!?

Singleplayer -> + 1min
Multiplayer -> Spectator ~ DNF

Quote from AndroidXP :As the "known issues" part in your original post is still empty, I'll repost these:
  1. With patch U15, the server list only displays U15 hosts (alteast it was like this yesterday evening)
  2. The input of the German decimal point ',' is not interpreted as such anymore (in the right-click value entry dialogs). IF you have bound this behaviour to a certain language setting, please make it global again as I think any German translation of an English software is ridiculous and thus I only use English settings wherever possible Or you could also simply read the decimal point settings from windows.

Do you guys dont get, that Scawen nealy everytime forgets to update the master server?
He updated it yesterday so you will see all compatible versions now

Quote from AJS :I feel the same way but thought it might be because im not a native speaker.

Shorter and a bit more to the point would be nice

Its a great mag again just some positive constructive criticism.

Yes, if I read an interesting headline and I will find the main message in the text I NEVER get it.
I dont want to read all and I think if I do it I wont find what I want too
