Quote from Aussie_Alex_2007 :

He means that the engine is deliberately cut out after a massive crash to stop people making stupid and dangerous manouvers or cheating in hot laps, he does not mean 'Why does me enigne cut out?', we arent dicussing why it cuts out, just if other people thought it was a good idea to have an engine cut out in the name of improved online gameplay

How would cutting the engine prevent hot lap cheating? If you cut the hot lap is discarded. If you hit a wall, you will probably flip / wreck suspension (at least in FE, SO)

Quote from shashdev :

OH, yeah, sorry about that. I completely forgot that it could be that. Never mind me (or my past post that was raving about bad demo'ers). Now I really feel like one of the stupid demo'ers!!!

Well, you are a demoer. Seeing as you haven't bought s1 or s2. so...

@op - practice. Buying a wheel will definately help.

Quote from Victor :

maybe because they're of different heights and as such their driving positions are slightly different.

That doesn't seem like a very safe position.

Then again what do I know? I've never raced before.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I think everybody lost any sympathy they had for you right about there. Best not to mention that sort of thing in public - it's like saying you play D&D.

D&D is a good game though =[

Anywho, @ OP - :bananadea :bananadea :bananadea

Learn how to use capitilization, punctuation. Better yet, take an English class. You are American >_<

Quote from Bluebird B B :

The Alpes cold? at this time of the year? Currently serious high altitudes are needed to find any below zero tempatures(celcius) I guess at least as high has 3500 meters at the moment. Just watch "tour the france" It can get really hot during summers.

I thought 'de' meant 'of'.

Try reinstalling LFS

Quote from BullHorn :

Playing lfs without a wheel is like going to war without an army.

More like going to war with lasers: do just as good as guns but it is no fun.

Quote from Hyperactive :

people who are naturally fast. (These people also have unnatural perversions, sick minds and generally die from bullets from angry husbends' semiautomatics

For some reason I fit into all of those categories; besides the dying part...I'm not insanley fast though ^-^

Won't that just steal more new racers and drag them into the deep depths of cruising? I used to cruise every day since i got s2. Now im finally back on CTRA, but still... I'd personally rather have more racers.

Heres the mpr. you can check it out and see all the angles.

You think the guy that you tied with can send you a replay too? Compare, see if it was lag, etc?

Quote from DHRammstein :

The only thing I haven't tested is whether Nvidia's control panel will allow tweaking of LFS, I'm just using nHancer still because of the bug in the old NV driver, I'll test it some other time, now that everything works, I'm creating a restore point, and not messing with anything.

Nvidia Control panel > Manage 3D Settings > Select a Program to Customize > LFS.

hope your new drivers has this

Quote from Flame CZE :

Scawen what about to do an improvement - when you press the button for lights, the lights will be on until you press the button again. IMO its not hard to make it...

But if you have something more important to do, OK.

What button? What lights?

Nice to see a fellow American interested in rally. Sadly i have finals the rest of the weekso I probably won't be on. Good luck though.

I'm sure this has been said so..

Consistancy is a greater attribute of a racer than WRs, imo. Just slow it down for a few laps until you get the hang of it, then speed it up a little at a time.

Oh, and press 4.

Quote from shashdev :

Yes, I get the point guys. I thought I asked nicely not to flame me. It was after all, just a suggestion. Anyway, as I expected, this idea is not the most popular. And also, I said that I was happy with the demo. I never said the game was bad and am very happy with what the demo has currently. Again, this section of the forum, is just meant for the suggestions, isn't it?

Please stop the flaming. If you want to say why you think it is unfair, please go ahead, but no one needs 10 replies saying, "This is retarded" in 10 different ways. Please, use constructive criticism.

BTW, I have to money to buy the license. My parents just won't let me spend $47 on a game. They say I would just be wasting my money. Looks like I will be in the demo for some time.

Tell your parents to go to GameStop and look at new games there $60

Anyways, I didnt mean it as flame. The developers have worked their butts off for >6 years to get from nothing to patch Y in s2. They didn't need to make an unlimited playing time demo free of charge for anyone. But it is not meant to be a substitute for the game. They need to make money somehow, and if they give the demoers more choices, more cars, more tracks - they will ultimately lose money and have to stop creating updates for LFS. Putting in an FZ5 to drift / race will just result in less money for the devs.

The world revolves around money - just put it that way. Plus demoers in general don't deserve it they way they acted about the XRT taken out and given an open wheel car. I only race the demo cars at CTRA enen though i spent $50 on s2.

Quote from shashdev :

Now, first of all, let me just say one thing. I love LFS. If this suggestion does not go through, I am still going to play LFS everyday. Now on to the suggestion:


First suggestion:
Why not just give us the XRT in Y19? Yes, many of the S2 drivers did not have the chance, but maybe with a better demo (not that the current one is not amazing) more S2 drivers will get up there and compete with the best and give some more competition!

Now, all of my reasoning is based on basic math. Hopefully I have not messed anything up horribly! If I have, please point it out quickly, so I can feel completely stupid!

If we get the XRT, we will have 4 cars out of 20, right? So:
4/20 = 20%

Also, we get one track out of seven tracks, right? In these tracks, we get three variations out of twenty-nine, right? So:
3/29 ~ 10.34%

So, using basic math, to get the percent of the game we would have, we just take the first percent (percent of cars) and the second percent (percent of track variations) and multiply them together. So:
.2 x .1034 = 2.06%

That means we would only get 2.06% of the game if you gave us the XRT in addition to what we have right now! As of the moment, we have 1.55% of the game. You are giving us an extra .51% of the game. Is that really that much?

Again, I would like to mention, I am not trying to be greedy about this. But I doubt you would find many demo racers who were against getting one extra car (that many have driven before).

Second Suggestion:
Now, here is something else that could also be done. It would still only give us 2.06% of the game.

Instead of giving us the XFG and the XRG, which have almost the same speeds, why not give us another car and take one away? Here is what I mean:

Give one of each level of car:
XFG
XRT
FZ50 (looks coolest, IMO)
FBM

We get one of each type, and yet we are still only getting 2.06% of the game with all variations included.


Review
See, us demo racers see how it is to drive different types of cars, and still get basically 1/50 of the full game content.

Now, I fully understand why the S2 license holders would be against this. You have the full game, and you did not get to try 4 cars in the demo! Why should these new racers get a chance when you didn't?

I don't have any reply for that. You are right, we have no more right than you. But if we do get one extra car, are we really going to hurt you? You are just letting the demo racers try one more car, giving them yet but another reason to buy the S2 license! See?

Basically, I just wanted to give the demo racers one more car. That is all I want (though it is quite a lot even for me). I understand if you don't do it, but by looking at the math, it just seems to me, that if the demo racers get another car, it is just .51% of the game more.

Please consider this option, and in the minds of almost all the demo racers, LFS will have taken a huge leap forward!

And please, when you comment, make it thoughtful and please do not flame me. This is again, just a suggestion. Please criticize constuctively.

And I hope you liked my idea!

Buy the game. IIRC its only .... bah nvm i forget the prices. Put it this way, its cheap enough that I can get it.

Report yourself for trying to scam someone with overpriced rubbish that probably doesnt work while your at it lol.

Quote from TenTimes :

so why not just allow to also reposition the side mirrors. Keep the same single view and detail level, but allow you to drag the far mirror into the car and your FOV.

I know it's not realistic, but neither is having to turn your head to see the mirror (at least to detect movement).

Love the racing and thanks to the developers for their ongoing support.

Because IIRC you have to turn your head in real life to see that mirror.
