because they don't want to. That's all there is to it. End of story, they have thought about it and have decided that they don't want more help.

wow...... so many complainers about roll cages.

Adding a roll cage doesn't make the car not a road car. It's still not a race prepped car, i just has the safety features required to race.

In racing you either follow the rules, or you don't get on the track. If it comes down to mass and distribution differences, here's what a marshall will tell you: You'll either cage it and like it, or you'll take it home.

Think we can get the UK lumped too, since we're lumping unions together?

#25 will be withdrawing from this race and further races. Logistics simply doesnt allow for 2 cars

I kinda like Banshee's more than TeazR's. Both are absolutely excellent, but my preference it toward Banshee's and it seems a little more in line with the style of event logos that came before it

okay, done enough reading.

Live for speed is a video game. ipso facto. It falls in the simulation sub-genre, but it is in fact still a game.

In order for a game to be successful there is a basic criteria it must meet. It must be fun. When it becomes a chore to play, it will no longer be a game, and nobody will want to play.

The realistic physics make it fun. The close racing makes it fun. The availability of information to learn from makes it fun. In fact just learning the "rules" of the game is in itself fun and rewarding.

If you don't like Scavier's approach to developing thier game, you're welcome to go off and go make an rFactor mod, or start programming your own. When you've made it the way YOU (realism nazi's, yes all 6 of you) want it, try to market it. I'm sure that once you do so, very few will be willing to bother with your game as it would be a CHORE.

Well, it would certainly get it's ass handed to it by an F1 car of just about any year after the introduction of downforce.

however it would deffinitely be an interesting drive in LFS combining masive power with an unusual chassis. I dare say many would welcome the challenge

Power wise the Espace F1 could have beat out the BF1. It was running the old V10 spec engines.

While I agree that a huge section of highway would be boring as hell, one must not overlook the possibility of the highway section only carying on till the next major exit, or using a set of high speed curves on the highway.

some of the curves on the freeway on my morning trip home (with next to nobody on the road) can be quite interesting at 110 mph

Quote from AstroBoy :In Cycling if a rider is give number 13, they turn the number upside down to beat that supersition, couldnt that be done with a race car as well? it would be unique thats for sure

Cycling and motorsport have thier own traditions. In motorsport it's tradition not to issue anyone that number.

actually i dont think they care what you do with outguage.

Quote from Shotglass :outgauge is the interface that gives info like rpm and gas pedal position
i think hes talking about a car sound remixer type application with your engine sim to create the sound

Precisely, your engine sim produces quite a good sound, and I wonder how well it would work taking data from LFS

Todd, any chance we could get these simulations hooked up to OutGuage?

That would be pretty cool

Quote from Takumi_lfs :Oh come on.. I dont like this Username too.

oh btw.. look at your own

Hmmmm You must be refering to the "Keiichi" part of my nick, and inferring a reference to Tsuchiya. A common mistake actually, but it's a tip of the hat to Keiichi Morisato from AA Megami-sama, a rather popular anime by Fujishima.

As for the RX7 part, who doesn't like art in motion? Besides I was workon on ressurecting an old FB for a few months. Sadly money ran out before just after I got the engine running.

Quote from Primoz :I think there shouldn't be. And it would be a nice addition for Supra lovers but not for everybody else... If you want more GTRs, make a FZ50 Turbo and make a GTR version out of that. If you want JGTC cars, i'd prefer the Skyline (FXR is quite simmilar, appart from the engine) or the NSX. The latter would be better since it's mid engined and that's what we need mostly now - a mid engined GTR. But yeah, 700ish BHP AWD FZ50 turbo, that's the real deal!

EDIT: and i don't see a single racing supra on that site. Just Orido's RS*R drift car. JGTC Supras are much different. For one, they are limited to 500 bhp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra#JGTC.2FSuper_GT

Don't know what youre smoking but the JGTC Skylines are FR layout. As for comparing a JGTC Supra and an FZ50 GTR.... Engines at the wrong end. To be honest We coudl stand another Front engine Rear drive GTR, with a naturally aspirated engine. We could also use a Mid Engine GTR for sure, but lets be intelligent enough to stop slagging off cars just because of where they come from.

Quote :Make your Rice request's when the future is near us (S3)

Says the person who takes thier name from Initial D.

Quote :In this case it's not depending on the mark, it's just that Supra's are rice. Tell me, how many highly tuned drag cars are japanese? How many of them are Supras? Yep, more or less every one of them. It's also a big rice car for the wealthy people, simmilar to the Civic for the one that don't have as much money. How many civics do you see with body kits, wings, different wheels, etc.? Well, about half of them all for me. Maybe i just don't see the normal ones but mostly they are the new ones (which is too costly for the ricers anyway).

EDIT: Oh and yes, an M3 please :>

For you I suggest watching the following episode of VOD cars, In which a properly prepared Civic CRX dusts a Lamborghini Galardo

Quote from Forbin :Huh? The only car that has an intake restriction set for the global handicaps is the FOX, which only goes up to 11 lbs of boost. AFAIK, this does not affect the spool time.

As a matter of fact, the FXR is the only car in the GTR class without any global handicaps at all.

EDIT: So... if all the GT2 cars have the same intake restriction and it doesn't affect spool time*, what's the problem?

*if anything it's reduced because you can stay on the throttle more mid-corner

They Don't have all the same restrictors. The turbocharged require more restriction, as they are forced induction

Quote from DarinSRT :Funny how a post can generate so many others in so many driections.

To go into more detail on the MOE event.. I never put down MOE for allowing shift p.. Just pointed it out.. If you want my honest opinion of it though.. That takes away from the endruance aspect of it.. You flip a car or get it stuck in rF and you're done which in my opinion stops some people from driving over their head.. I had a good time for the most part and we're going to report on it..

Now.. a little more on my experience.. I became a member of the team I rean with a week ago. Was I unprepared for a 12 hour event.. Heck yes I was.. On top of that I was out of town from Tuesday thru Thrusday.. I was just commenting on it from my perspective..

Never claimed to be an expert on LFS and we'd love to have an official LFS correspondant.. Funny thing is.. I get all these people yelling at me for misreprestinging LFS (which by the way we are going to correct the Intel tour mistake on air) .. but I get no one stepping up to become the SRT / LFS rep. Help us out and we make sure to represent the community correctly..

You have to remember though.. Most of you are biased towards LFS so take things I say with a grain of salt. Just my opinion and yes I have a lot of people listening to me, but, I do my best to be objective, honest and tell my story from my perspective..

To the guy that said "don't think that Bawbag is the only one".. lol.. Believe me I know of lots of other really fast guys.. Just like over in my crowd.. Greger is the man.. but.. There's lots of guys that are pretty close. So.. I just used his name cause it came to mind.

And to Becky.. hehe.. If I told you the hurdles we went through to provide that coverage, you would understand why it is the way it is. We know it's raw, but we are very limited and have done all of that on a shoestring budget. You should see some of the first we did.. We're doing it with what rFactor has to offer, media encoder and a fat pipe.

You mention all of us coming together.. I'd love that.. Over in our world, no one shares technology secrets fearing that someone will out do them or try to take their business.. Flog TV was created only to provide coverage of our events.. We never really intended it for general spectators.. But.. After we started we got some great feedback about how we handled ourselves in the booth and that actually spawned SRT..

So that being said.. How is the quality of SRT compared to our broadcasts ? Lots better huh ?? Thats because we've put a lot more time and energy into it and we're not limited to rFactor short comings , media encoders and we're not in competition with anyone which means that everyone is willing to offer help and suggestions. We flew completely blind putting up the FLOG stuff. I think we did an ok job..

Lastly.. Becky, we would love for you to come over and help us put together the ultimate broadcast and vice versa.. I would love to be part of one of your shows as a broadcaster or doing behind the scenes stuff..You put it out there.. so lets do it !

I'll step up if you want, since ya already know me

Really you guys need an insim program for qualification. I know for a fct that more than 32 people did laps in Qualy. My own time got bumped off the bottom because it only shows 32 entries.
