Quote : However, I have never seen errors in LFS textures myself - no matter how many times I switch to windows and back.

I get pink mirrors after switching programs but that might be due to my old graphics driver.

I'm not good enough to be able to drive fast laps without fully concentrating on my raceline, and so I don't look at my speed (digital), I disabled split time display and shrunk the size of chat messages (had a bad habit of wanting to read all of them which usually got me in the sandbox)
Still several seconds from WRs, but I'd rather choose this than to have no competition at all.

Quote from Vain :I always ignore mandatory pits because I come to the public server to practice overtaking and close racing - not pitstopping.
Disqualify me as often as you want, I'm not interested in pitting. I know pitting good enough.

You race online to learn to drive rather than to have fun?
I think people learn to race not by deciding to learn it, but by racing a lot in order to enjoy themselves.

Quote from mrodgers :The only problem I see with your first statement on posting a password here on the forum is.... The well known "Wrecking Team" frequents this forum! So, that wouldn't work.

It could be done by word of mouth through PM's though. If I set up a server with a password, I could PM those I know and trust to have good races. Then they could PM those that they trust to behave, etc. If done right, that could work. I know alot of fast racers who don't respect others on the track that I WOULDN'T send, alot of very fast racers who I respect and know would be responsible about it and respect the slow racers, and alot of slow and very slow racers who are respectable about their slowness and are a pleasure to have on the servers.

Or, the CRC IS STILL IN EXISTANCE. Due to lack of support from the community, it has strayed quite a bit from it's original intentions. If the community would embrace CRC again, then teams who have servers could join, password them with a CRC password, and we'd all be enjoying the racing we want to enjoy. I know I don't participate with CRC events and stuff, mainly because it's mostly UK guys and UK times, but I do log on often to the site to checkout who is applying there. Very very rarely do I see anyone that I recognize looking to join.

If the community would embrace CRC again, then I think this is what everyone who is discussing this issue is wanting.

I don't know what CRC is but I like it! A slight ray of hope... Please join hands and make it happen!

We don't know what features will be added to the final version, and to answer the AI issue, the demo is exactly the same as S2 only to exclude tracks and cars.

Having multiple private servers (by admins wanting to host good races) with a single password published here on the forum might be a solution because I think only a fraction of licensed racers visit the forum which also kind of filters serious racers from wreckers. Sensible people not reading the forum could get the password from fellow racers via instant messenger programs or something.

Might not be the best idea, but something needs to be done because I am losing faith towards the game and I think I am not alone

I was 'driving' with a mouse about a month ago and when I bought a wheel, I was aware of my disabilities and done some laps against AIs offline. I think people who are new to this whole thing should do the same. Speaking of this, the case when 15 cars crash after the lights go green pops into my mind...:dunce:
I think some kind of a reputation system should be introduced into LFS with the possibility to set a minimum reputation level for a server. We could have some real good racing then

The FZ50 is fun to drive (without TC of course), making it my temporary favourite. I think driving LRF Class cars require more attention and so I enjoy races at longer tracks (~2min. laptime). Sad to see LRF servers are empty most of the time.

S1 combos disappeared altogether...
I actually race less because all I see is Aston and Blackwood, GTR and BF1illepall

I think a much faster car (compared to XFG, XRG, XRT) would show the thrill of racing much better and maybe add a new configuration of Blackwood (slightly longer than gp, FOX or FXR as the new car) because you have to react faster in those cars, giving a different experience. Plus the fast speed would show off the great physics more. A ~1 month online play limit would also be a good idea.

I updated my LFS from S to T5, there were so many improvements to do it for
(waiting patiently for the possibility to put different tyres on all four wheels and to tell the guys at the pit not to hammer my car out)

I used to drive with wheel and driver view disabled, sad to see I have to turn it on when driving an f08 or bf1.

Why can't I see the details(usage, track set...) of some servers listed at LFSW? I think it is since the patch is out, but not sure. Anyone?

Quote from mkinnov8 :I noticed them, I hoped they work...

Two other things.. There is a short delay (longer than before) where the cars are on the grid, is this meant? and is it controlable?

It is supposed to be like that. Read the details on what the patch fixes/changes.

So eventually, the once lost 24 pounds found their way into the Developers' pockets
Welcome among us, XGremlinX_pt!

I think the Developers really deserve the money for their elaborate work and people not (yet) banned should realise this. I mean, what would the people with cracked copies do if their hard work was stolen and used regularly?
The Developers must have a hard time bearing all this... some crack their software, some are discontented with the planned features. The only reason I don't feel sorry for them is the contract they've made with BMW

This petition didn't turn out as well as the author thought, huh?
Nobody wants a video and we're one person short

I think the BF1 would have a hideous sound without throttle cut. I could imagine a minor engine damage over just 1 or 2 laps if cut is off, making people turn it on, making the sound of it more realistic. Maybe?

I'd say BF1 at As North and Westhill, even though I don't like and follow the F1 championship.

We should be seeing the next update in about two hours' time :laola:
And I'm happy if the patch comes out on friday or saturday... won't screw my studying

If it is released at midnight, some of us will have a hard time in the morning
