In the Connections List screen wherein all connected players are listed, an option to gag a player would be nice. Not just a key to block ALL messages, but just the inane typings of a particular individual.

Quote from GruntOfAction :Ironic as I told my friend "LFS is like the titanic and im getting off of it before it croaks".

Except the community is growing, not shrinking. More and more people are trying and buying every day. But feel free to believe what you want in spite of the facts and all logic. You'd make a good cabinet member.

Quote from savagedude_25 :Soooo, i started playing Patch Y... im honestly not very happy. since i am playing with this: Its a bit hard to blip and cut throttle...

Anyways, i cant get my setups to transfer. I copied the setups from the old patch and put them in the new directory, but nothing happened... Help please!

There is more than one thread on the first page of this forum asking the exact same question. Please read before starting a redundant thread.

You can't simply paste in your old setups, as patch Y uses a new naming system. If you have a lot of setups, some LFSers have been nice enough to write a program which automatically renames all of them for you. Details here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=34784

As for your joystick, there isn't any good solution. LFS is a hardcore sim; to expect it to allow such unrealistic aids as blip and cut indefinitely is pure folly.

Buy a wheel. Evidently DFPs are available for less than $40, which is less than the price of LFS itself. Well worth it. I have an X45 too but I only use it for IL-2 1946. Flight stick for flight sims, wheel for driving sims.

Quote from zeugnimod :Indeed, it is.

And you can turn it off in the pits, AFAIK. I think there is also a keyboard shortcut to do it.

It's possible to set it to a wheel button too, which is what I've done.

Quote from tucker_98 :Well, I guess I'll leave this thread alone. Maybe someday if the world is to your liking everyone will have their lips sewn shut so that no opinions can ever be voiced. Thank you for accusing me of "lieing" about purchasing the game, makes you seem all the more educated.

Well I guess I started a snake-pit of sorts with this post, I'll leave it alone and let the flamers continue you brew out of control... You people are the problem, not the update, not demo racers.

It's spelled "lying".

More than once now you've said you're leaving and won't post again, yet here you are.

Once again, there's the door. No one will miss you. Everyone here is laughing at you.

Quote from spankmeyer :And forgive me, but why would you want to keep your sets that would only make you slower with the improved physics?

This is off-topic, but my old setups are good bases on which to construct new setups. A little tweaking of the gear ratios has turned a few of my old FOX setups into pretty good new ones in only a few minutes. It's a lot easier to tweak a basic setup than it is to start from scratch.

Quote from tucker_98 :the money just got transferred into my paypal account to buy a full S2 license, after this update and seeing the demo fall to pieces I will be using the money on something else.

This makes absolutely no sense. If you were buying an S2 license anyway, what difference does it make to you what changes were made to the demo?

It seems likely that you're just lying about planning to buy S2 in some ill-conceived threat to retract your intended purchase.

Guess what? No one here is falling for that. One lost sale is insignificant. The rest of us reasonable people will go right on driving this fantastic sim, the community will continue to grow, and we'll all laugh at the foolishness on the part of a few people who refuse to accept any change in an evolving racing sim.

There's the door. No one will miss you.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :huh thought they whittled it down to just to types hard compund and soft compund beats me.

Two types per race, but depending on the circuit Bridgestone would bring a selection of two out of their range of four. A high-grip, high-wear circuit like Magny-Cours demanded the two hardest tires, while a low-grip circuit such as Monte Carlo needed the two softest types.

Quote from djlilmike :i just updated the game and only tried it out for like 2 minutes and i hated it! patch Y is the worst! Patch X was the best so far, but if lfs wants an upgrade, patch Y is not the way to go!

Thank you for your well-thought out, reasoned review of patch Y. Without your valuable insight the rest of us would have gone blissfully on using an inferior product.

The least you could have done is condense your two inane comments into one inane thread. Makes it easier for the mods to lock/delete them.

Quote from Monte Busa :Why did you guys do this....I'm so p***sed I feel like never playing again....AAGHGHHGHGHGHGHG

Do a little reading before you post such nonsense. You are making yourself look like a complete fool in public.

Your setups are still there, but they need to be renamed.

If you had taken five seconds to look in Technical Issues for your technical issue, you would already know this.

A lot of servers are updating their software and changing settings which may result in lag.

Give it a few hours / a day and it should be OK.

Quote from thisnameistaken :I'm not brainy enough to know what I'm signing but I love a good bandwagon - count me in.

I also believe that immigrants get free luxury flats and mobile phones, and pakis are nicking our jobs, and that Islamic terrorists are jealous of our freedoms.

Why not just use the links in Windows Media Player? And then add to it!

WMP is a worthless bloated piece of shit and should never be used for anything.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :yeh all formula 1 drivers who have been on the show took a totally different line than the stig.
so obviously he isnt a formula one driver

Lewis Hamilton took the Stig's line rather than the line the other F1 drivers took. That may have been because it was wet though.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there are quite a few current and former racing drivers who also drive this sim, but they prefer to remain anonymous in order to dissuade undesired attention.

Impossible to verify of course, but it makes the feel of LFS even more special.

Quote from DeKo :does his driving license being revoked have any kind of implications on his super license?

It's technically possible, but extremely unlikely unless he does this repeatedly or gets into an accident or somesuch.

From what I understand, the FIA can revoke superlicenses if the holder repeatedly and grossly violates the general standard of conduct expected of highly-paid professsionals (obviously open to interpretation), or publicly humiliates the FIA due to some huge scandal in the press.

Even then though, I doubt it because his fame brings so much publicity and money into F1.

*goes to look also*

You have to register, but it's well worth it considering the immense quantity of videos available. R-U is by far the best racing-related video website I've ever come across.

Well obviously, but you implied negative consequences to such a system were it to be implemented in the US. What do you think they would be?
