LOL... Loving this thread - come on, what do you mean by sick?! I'm guessing you've never read De Sade or Bataille, never seen Hans Bellmer's work, or Andre Masson's prints. Not that I would consider these particular artists as sick, but their art makes dragon shagging look rather cute and innocent.
"Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful, happiness must be tainted with poison."
Georges Bataille
Ok, if you don't mind, was your first comment merely a defensive reaction, knowing that, in general, people have a very low tolerance for anything other than vanilla sex? (and no... that's not sex with ice cream...)
You people need to deal with your own problems before pontificating on the behaviour of others.
I'll repeat a question I put to Lizardfolk earlier: what is so sick about these fantasies? Why do you find these fantasies so threatening?
Just google 'hokusai' and 'octopus'....
Visualisation is a technique taught by sports psychologists to athletes of all types; its basically about rehearsing a positive outcome for an event in as detailed and vivid way as you're capable (might be a useful technique for LFSers)
As well as getting a feel for the rhythm of a track, I'd guess that many racers are using remembered images from the PS2/3 as a visualisation tool. To that extent, the physics of the game are irrelevant.
(There's a lot of anecdotal reference to a study made on basketball players showing only a 1% difference in the success rates of two groups: one which practiced free throws in their heads, and one which physically practiced. I think it might be one of those myths perpetuated by some would-be sports guru, but if anyone knows any better I'd be interested to know more.)
So true.
This isn't really news, is it? There have been loads of racers who admit to doing a few laps on the playstation to remind themselves of the rhythm of a track. That's all.
LFS fanboys get over yourselves. Its not like they're learning how to drive. Its a technique that works. Period.
I used to go out with a plushie... She was great; a very sensual lover (but I don't really know if that was an inherent quality of her 'plushiness'!)
Hmmm... Getting a bit judgemental there, aren't you? Personally, I find anthropomorphism itself a troubling philosophical concept, but the idea of people having sex in animal suits is both amusing and banal, but not by any stretch of the imagination would I call it sick.

No
Not interested in arguing a petty point. You asked if you were making any sense. You weren't. I apologise for interrupting the flow of this thread.
Lol... I don't understand this forum at all, really: full of people that profess to love motorsport and yet whenever anyone enthuses about something there's a crock full of bitches who just want to spray bullshit on any kind of conversation.
Its got wheels. Its fast as ****. What's not to love, Blueflame?
LOL... sounds like a laugh... I had a scoot once upon a time; a Malaguti Jetline. Only mine didn't look like that - it had been sprayed silver (with an aerosol can) and had been stolen and recovered at least once in its lifetime. Crashed it twice and it just kept on going until someone lifted it over the wall of my front garden and it went on to be someone else's abused workhorse/plaything
Seconded without hesitation (though I've really been enjoying Guy Martin's exploits, especially at the Ulster GP this year). Casey just looked the part from the first race to the last this year: last year, six retirements; this year, never finished lower than sixth. Yeah, Casey Stoner all the way.
No... it doesn't make any sense at all. You just saw the poster say it was useful sometimes and jumped on the "LFS is race simulator" soap box.
I want... I want... I want... If your mother could hear you talking like that... Anyway, Live for Speed is a computer program, not an exercise in social engineering, and I can't see any reason for fetishising the cockpit view in such an extreme way. Forced cockpit view is now a server option. Why do you want to force even offline users into your brand of subjectivity?
You're just weird...
Sounds familiar - took me bloody hours to change the rad on the 405, and I had to take bits off the front of the car and the wheel arches to do it. Even then it was a tight squeeze (amazingly, swearing profusely both at the engine bay and the french designers didn't make it any less so...)
Yeah, it'll do the job til then. Had same problem with my peugeot 405 and radweld did the job well enough for a few months. Eventually gave way though... New radiator is the best cure.
LOL... No, zonino is what comes out if you put woohoo into a phone with predictive text entry
Ever read Finnegans's Wake?
You can indeed, its just that words change their focus of meaning depending on the context in which they are used. Using the word 'race' on these forums makes pedants with axes to grind spit their dummies out.
Well, that is the way that language works... don't use the word and it dies. However search for w00t on the LFS forums and there are eight pages of links to delve through...
No... w00t is already on the way out. Its now "zonino!" that means woohoo!
Replacing humans is easy - there's a fun bit (that happens all to quickly in some cases), and then a nine-month long bit that's not so much fun...
Back on topic... Anyone remember the Portuguese garage abandoned by its owners? This thread reminded me of it... Here's a bit of truth behind the story and a list of what was behind those welded doors.
I'm guessing LFS code is different, so kidnapping David Kaemmer and beating him with nettles until he gives up GPL's secrets hasn't been considered?
I remember this ritual from the last meet... And I remember feeling roundly hustled as I crossed the line in last place
LOL.. The only reason it matters is for certain forum members to ringfence appropriate use of LFS in a somewhat ... clingy (lousy word but it seems to fit...) ... manner.
Sweet. Holy. Mother. Of. Christ....
LFS meet anyone? I know a great brothel that will do a deal on bulk handjobs... Trust me, this debate would never appear on the forums again if you abandoned yourselves to a seasoned practitioner of tantric massage.
For just one afternoon.
Please?
I think most have missed the thread starter's point, which is that different materials have different behaviours when kicked up by the tyres.
You could extend this and say that grass is not simply a slippier version of tarmac (as seems to be the case in LFS). Tyres leave skidmarks on tarmac, but leave ruts in grass; an accumulation of skidmarks might create a grippier line whereas an accumulation of ruts presents a serious hazard.
Ultimately this is really about how the environment is simulated, not a question of having more or less smoke.

Oh sweet jesus, unless you want to miss your flight and spend at least one day in the company of people who have nothing better to do than search your most intimate cavities, do not mention the word bomb, anything that rhymes with bomb, or anything that might onomatopoeically allude to a bomb. Humourless ****s, all of them...
Anyway, really enjoyed the last meet, so, health and finances permitting, would be very interested in this too.
