Quote from thisnameistaken :

I think if we have to have it, it should be limited to single-player. If you're racing multiplayer with an overlay on the track telling you the fastest way round it then you're taking the piss.

But that option is available to everyone or no one on the track. The reality is that if you don't need it you are going to be faster than someone who does need it or finds it useful, whether they use it or not.

I just don't see why you could have a problem with someone using a learning aid while slowly completing laps at the back while the front of the pack is getting further and further away. They are never going to compete with someone who knows racing lines so why feel they are extracting the urine?

And what about J@tko's reason for using it? Is it not a good idea for a noob (no I'm not calling J@tko a noob) to be told where to brake, especially for T1? Without the aid he may crash into the back of you.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

It's still lame though.

Being Lame and cheating are worlds apart. Personally I don't think it's even lame but that's just my opinion. We are, of course, both entitled to our opinion.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Yes.

If this is not a joke then I feel very sorry for you. I really do.

I might have to get home from the pub early to watch this one. Hurray for POETS day meaning I can get to the pub early.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

That line is cheating and shouldn't be allowed.

How do you figure that it's cheating?

Everyone has the ability to turn it on so no one can get an unfair advantage by using it.
Many faster drivers say that there are faster lines, someone even has said it in this thread, so it doesn't bring beginners up to fast drivers speed.

Why not give a beginner a chance to stay up with the back of the pack?

Just because you know the racing line why deprive someone who is new to racing the oportunity to learn about racing lines?

Are you really that insecure in your own abilities that you want beginners not to be given a helping hand?

Quote from zeugnimod :

Why do you even care? This was aoun's competition and aoun decided the winner. Who are you to tell him that his winner is "wrong"? Do your own competition if you didn't like the result here but stop moaning. This is ridiculous.... ...

QFT

Come on people grow the hell up and accept that sometimes you don't know all the facts and your opinion is not the only opinion.

Well done to all winners and kudos for aoun for running the competition in the first place.

I have to quote this

Quote from FM-Failure :

...Yes, i was about to even use the last few remaining inches, including the curb, to avoid contact.

Quote from FM-Failure :

...and tbh, I was not really doing something at that point to avoid contact because I was upset about him -

Make your mind up. You either tried to avoid contact or you didn't.

Also at 1.09 you swear at him. Is swearing allowed on your server or not? Or is it just the elite admin that are allowed to swear?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Except you sound ike you've been vigourously masturbating all the time...

>.>

Thats because he is vigourously masturbating all the time!

You've seen his picture?

Show me a guy that age that says he doesn't masturbate all the time(even if he does have a hot girlfriend) and I'll show you a liar.

What if every country opened up it's borders completely?

Would there be masses of people moving around the world bleeding countries dry? Would it eventually all settle with all countries balanced nicely?

I really don't understand the constant wishes of people to have threads like this closed. You don't want to read it? Then don't. It's not rocket science.

This is a huge community, not every thread is going to be to everybodys liking. Personally, the programming stuff bores me but I just skim past it.

Eventually the conversation will come to an end and the thread will dissapear from the front page. Why insist on spoiling other peoples conversations just because there was a similar thread 6 months ago?* What makes your opinion more important than others?*

*These questions are pointed at all people who call for threads to be closed not just those in this thread.

Are you guys aware of how childish this looks to grown ups?

Ask a responsible adult to read it for you and explain.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Some diets are safe and work - my Mum did one (and is still on it, as it doesn't lose weight so much as maintain you at the proper body weight) but I can't remember its name. Halfords Diet perhaps?

It's quite sciency, although the glycemic index still forms the basis of it....

At the very least it's quite an interesting read!

Yay for off topic discussions.

Is it the Rosemary Conelly (sp?) diet?
My misses used to do that one, it combines GI with keeping what you eat to stuff that is under 5% fat. Not a bad idea for people not trying to lose weight too.

Quote from james12s :

"sorry my monitor power cable came out"

this one has happened to me a few time, my monitor power cable is quite a heavy one and goes from the back of me monitor (were it conects upwards) to the floor with no support so over time it works loose and hs on a couple of occasions droped out during a race

Put a little yellow sticky on your monitor that says

"RACE PREP - Check lead before racing!"

Quote from Vain :

I'm already waiting for the option to invest my 12 "sterling-marks" in S3.

Releasing S3 with only one car and track may be a response to the way the whole comunity flocked to S2 when it was released - effectively making S1 useless as its userbase became too small. I remember Scawen mentioning that he wasn't pleased with that development.

By the way I do expect some major updates to the old content by the time of S3. But I don't expect S3 before 2011.

Vain

Scawen wasn't pleased that "the whole comunity flocked to S2"?
He wasn't pleased that nearly every S1 licence holder gave them an extra £12?
Did you read what you wrote?

Quote from n-murray :

No Eoin Murray is my Brother, we dont live together so he RARELY plays my lfs, but still does sometimes when he is at my house, My freind is 'Toyota Starlet' (dont think his real name really makes a difference), and he plays on my old account (niall murray) as he got me banned from CTRA playing it one day, so he bought it off me, so I just bought a new account.

So you want them to believe that Toyota Starlet was in the room with you as you found out you were banned from LR servers and you decided to let him have a drive instead? I understand why Void would think that is very unlikely.

Also, I think you are forgetting that it is LR's server and they can ban whoever they like for whatever reason they like. Throwing your toys out of the pram isn't going to help.

If I win I will run a competition to give it away to a demo account.

Quote from VoiD :

- Center 1: added FE1 and reverse to trackcycle (stay cool)

Great! That's my favourite track

/me watches the last few posts fly right over his head

Also, while we are being pedants, which average did you use? Mean? median? Mode? other I can't think of?

Are you bored Shadowww?

No we aren't cheap

But a good one will save you money which should make it win win

Corporation tax is currently at 21% for small companies but to be fair we don't know if they are incorporated or not. I haven't seen Ltd or the line "Scavier is the trading name of xxxxx ltd. Incorporated in England No. xxxxxx" Which is a legal requirement on invoices and some other stuff. If it was on my email receipt for my s2 licence I don't remember it.

All this being said, none of us actually know what is being earned and I don't think it is the sort of thing that should be discussed here. I probably shouldn't have even joined in with my point about tax.

Greybull, you forgot to add /thread to the end of your post

Also don't forget that they will be paying tax just like the rest of us also. How much will depend on how good their accountants are

Someone needs to change the thread title to , "What an amazing party"

I love the LFS forum because it gives me something to do when I am bored at work

Quote from The Moose :

Really great to hear an update of the physics engine is in the works.

Very sad to hear a content pack wont be available until after S3. If this sim needs anything sooner rather than later it's new content.

See you back on track in 5 years then i guess....

Ha ha, this is the thing about hearing things 3rd hand, I understood it to mean something different.

The way I read it was. After S3 has been finished (the stage we understand to be the final stage) they intend to then release content packs. This does not mean that S3 will not have new content also.

This is the very reason little information can be dangerous.

Cue a new thread "whats the point of S3 if it will have no new content!"
