Quote from neglouseight :Having colors you could see who is for what driver. Look at F1 see a sea of Red in the stands, safe bet it's for Ferrari. See Silver, it's for Mclaren.

That's true, and would also work in LFS if we had only few dozen drivers in 10 teams instead of thousands of racers in several hundred teams.

Also LFS EULA (Live For Speed's End-user license agreement) states:

1.5 Extreme disruptive or offensive behaviour by a user, towards the developers or members of the community, may result in temporary or permanent suspension of the user's Live for Speed license.

Maybe messing around like that isn't that extreme, but more likely some Kid's (lol) revenge to the cruel world. But it's nice to know that you're safe from totally untolerable behavior.

Good idea in my opinion! The amount of spectators should represent the "coolness-rate" of the whole grid, based on average podium finish percentages from lfsw for example, multiplied by number of starters, and adjusted so that half-full servers couldn't draw full stands but hardcore leagues with full grids like MoE most propably would.

EDIT: lolz, just read my post and realised how useless and repetative I am :doh:

Quote from joshdifabio :I don't think it's ever that significant, but even if it is, it only takes a few minutes to adjust to driving from the other side of the car.

I ran out of words so I have use Bob's.
"Oh because that's really realistic?"

Imo the weight distribution is an interesting factor atleast in league racing.

But could it kill hotlapping? Drivers preferring left hand drive just couldn't make wr's on some tracks and vice versa...

Quote from deggis :Smartass...

Seriously, how can you know your computer is not full of spyware crap if you don't scan it with proper programs? Malware is just something you simply can't 100% avoid.

By using operating systems that don't suffer from malware, viruses, trojans or spyware crap

Even with operating systems that are open for this kind of threats, it's mostly your own actions that get you into trouble. You don't need any 3rd party firewall or antivirus software, but sure they're helpful if you screw up, just like esp in your mothers car.

I have no idea wtf troll/yank attack that measuring unit proposition tries to be, but I'd like to see driver sides fixed to LFS account, not cars.

I hope this is a joke. What nonsense.

But environment-wise it can be a good thing. F1 world has always been the pioneer of inventing stuff, and that stuff then gets implemented in road cars also.

Quote from romus74 :Or what other rally games there are where you can have fun against AI cars.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but yet plenty of fun..

Quote from frokki :Rally Sport download here
A Finnish DOS game, played from top view, there were sliding rwd cars and their behaviour was most realistic I ever saw on MS-DOS.. There was night mode etc, and the graphics (like dirt flying from tyres) formed from triangles
edit: just tested it and its still enjoyable today! try it, takes 5 mins of your time..

Quote from Eldanor :Yes!, we want tyre snakes modelling in LFS in Patch X!


Please forgive me, it's my first time ever with GIMP.
EDIT: Well, actually my avatar was the first. This is second.

Quote from deggis :Expansion pack? And yet they are releasing Race '07 someday this year. Very much EA-style...

Can't blame (either of) them for making money, but instead I feel bad for the disappointing people.

Quote from joen :I don't think the models are much better than LFS's to be honest. The textures are a bit better, especially the headlights. They look better in Race because of the shaders I think. The model itself isn't far of LFS' in terms of detail.

I was thinking the same.

But.. Who cares?

Quote from deggis :Feels weird how low priority this whole collision detection seems to have on devs' to do list... regarding that it has so huge effect on online play, everytime you touch a tyre or other car there's chance of getting a free flight ticket to moon.

I think the collision system just balances things - there are also loads of crashes that you leave in perfectly fine condition, but if the damage model was complete, your car would be totally undriveable

Quote from Scawen :It's not a big deal what you've said but it's one of those continual irritations, people criticising me for making some small improvement here or there that I happened to be able to just squeeze in to a test patch, while there are some other things they are waiting for that will take hundreds of hours of work to do.

On it's context I couldn't recognize Hyperactive's line about InSim as criticizing. Keep your pants on

Same here. Some of the attachments on this forum don't work, but some do.

EDIT: Thanks, Vic (?)
Seems to work now.

In my opinion Nuse already finished this topic. Of course you can speculate, for example, the weather of January 2nd, 2013, but I don't see the point in it.

Congrats Serbia (and Boris ), nice victory, and great you beat the Ukrainian blablah. I wish Belgrade will host a good show next year But they really should change the name.. "Eastern Euro Vision Neighbour Ass Licking Contest" would sound good.

My career as an Eurovision Spectator started and ended on the same day - yesterday. Didn't enjoy it at all, in fact it was really painful to see how our hard earned taxes were used on a music video that cost over 200 000e, and on a show that featured bad music and even worse music.

I hope we'll get a good hockey final today. It might save the weekend.
