I think this thread is huge fun.....can't take his posts seriously has he did not even give a single valid argument

I personally hugely enjoyed reading KiD's reaction (thanx for that dude ) and most other posts....and Nick_II seems to be a guy you can talk with.....just the opposit of Delerue.....even though Delerue always tries to form a union with him

Seriously.....no one projects Delerue's attitude to the Brazilian community in here.....You should just not care about him.....because we don't care about him

CU, Sebastian

@Nick_II - Sometimes I feel like being an elephant because I seem to remember things that no one else 'wants' to remember.....reading your comments about the price of LFS made me think of a statement that the Devs postet before the release of S1:

Quote :The content of the S2 and S3 stages, and the times when our many planned features will be added, are left undecided now. So much depends on the S1 release, our full focus is on making it as soon and as good as possible, we remain flexible about the future after that. For that reason we ask people to consider the S1 release as a product in itself when they are deciding to pay for it.

To me this makes perfect sense as I enjoyed S1 more than I enjoyed any other Computer or Console game since Frogger or Pong (GREAT GAMES BTW).....and same goes for S2.....

I payed 18€ for S1 and had fun with it for about 1 year and 8 months (17.07.03 - 05.04.05) - I consider S1 to be a full product fun-wise!

I payed 18€ for S2 and have lots of fun with it - in fact I have GTR, GTL and rFactor on my HDD but they just do not cut it for me - I consider S2 to be a full product fun-wise!

To me LFS S1 and LFS S2 were a bargain.....

Well.....that's just me

Quote :I personally have absolutely no faith at all in the sounds in LFS getting any improvement at all because I don't remember any reply of the devs saying there will be work on it.

Well.....that's just you

1. To me LFS is THE BEST SIM ever! I have tried most of the things on the market and usually even own them, but there is simply no other Sim that makes me feel like LFS. In LFS I am racing - In all the other Sims I am playing a racing game.....pretending to be a FIA GT driver for example.....

2. Saying there was no improvement in LFS since the first beta simply stops me from taking you serious.....to quote a slogan: GET REAL

3. Our arguments are not moving in a circle but along a line.....LFS development started at one point in time and it will be finished at one point in time.....no circle analogy here.....

4. Many real race driver enjoy LFS.....at least in Europe.....why not in Brazil, I don't know.....

5. LFS has much room for improvement and is, unlike many other sims, constantly improving over time. Aerodynamics, Sounds and Weather are only three of the things I am sure Scawen, Eric and Victor have on their list.....

6. Saying the things you demand are simple to implement exceeds your (and my) knowledge by far. We all do not know how hard it is to implement any new feature to LFS.....we even can not compare the 3D modeling we can do in 3DSMax or whatever to what Eric does as we do not even know which tools he uses.....

Just my well spend 24£

PS: Can someone explain to me why I can not post a carriage return?

PPS: Now it works Smile

Quote from SchneeFee :the point is that good racing does take a lot of discipline indeed - and people dont have any diszipline at all - well most of them. Just check out all the "wreckers" threads in the Forum - all due to lack of discipline.

*cough* Wreckers do not lack discipline....they lack COMMON SENSE! *cough*

People that participate in leagues usually behave well.....at least usually

On the topic of this racing rule I personally think that this rule, which to my knowledge was foremost written for open wheelers, is not really good.
One of the best experiences in online racing that I have come across is being in a battle of two racers, one slower and one faster, that are playing the game of attack and block.
Any action which is dangerous or harsh should be punished, but changing the line more than once is, in itself, not dangerous.

.....but really, I am no league admin and I understand that strict rules like this may make the management of a racing series a tad easier

CU, Sebastian

Edit - Might be my understanding of 'blocking' is wrong though......

Quote from Bismarck :Funny situation when DasBoeseC explained me that the throttle is right and the brake was left.

Yeah....rubb it into my face again and again

I honestly do not know how many times I said 'Throttle on the right, Brake on the left.....you don't have to shift, its set to automatic.....but PLEASE, brake before the corners.' and then after they crashed on the first corner 'What was it I told you about braking?'

LFS is great in getting people's attention and its steep learning curve keeps them trying.....I had a women of about 40 years of age who was playing for 20 or more minutes.....and the best laptime for an absolute beginner I saw was a lap with the GTi on BW GP bellow 2:00 from a standing start which was set by a professional Chauffeur who was about 50 years of age.....I can not imagine that these people would spend the same amount of time and effort for any other game

GC was great fun and terribly exhausting.....and I guess there will be a GC in 2006
