Quote from UnknownMaster21 :And what I really also want to say that:


If you are trying to say that I still try to defend my secret, which is for me is not a secret at all ( which makes kind of pretty amusing, because I know how people can be wrong), or if you try to say that I am only saying here to you, that you know nothing, which is also true...

... Then I have to say you are really lost in there mate

I am complaining here only, because I want to advice you how the things in LFS are, and how the LFS-players make it... You are not fast or good with only 1000km or with 2-4 months. Nope...

Drive over 100 000 LFS-km, play LFS over 5 years and make a good hotlaps on LFS World. AND I can say it, you are able to do them without any F-mode, as I know...

... And if you refuse the things what I said to you, then I know you are wrong, you have been beaten by someone epic driver, and you are crying that you are poor, beginner cruiser, who just wants to own the game by with own things in LFS, which should be to everyone else LFS-players.

... I just say to you...


DEAL WITH IT!

You have lost your war here pal. Very lost. I know you still try to defend your arguments but I know they are totally wrong... I am pretty sure you afterwards will use something illegal stuff in LFS, because then again you think that every epic LFS-player are CHEATERS, which in that case you are again wrong and have got a "Double-Bogey" if this game would be a golf. Too bad it is a racing simulator and you will get both DNF and DQ in same time.

Yeah I want to argue this with you long. looooooooooong time, as this is amusing me alot. I write here at my workplace with nice smile on I am not arguing myself only. I should say WE, the community, as they know how the things in here are. I am just a emissary who talks our behalf about this

OF COURSE, I am not saying that there is no one who uses the F-mode, but as I said earlier, it does not matter at all, and that's it.




So mate, please, I hope you do understand, or do you still want to lose and getting embarrassed here? I just want to help you, nothing else, but I must be a bit rude because it feels so unbelieveable that you still try to defend yourself lol.


There is 2 choices:

1. Deal with it and play and enjoy LFS as it is on now
2. Get lost


K?


EDIT:



And I agree!

yeah, i am so embarrassed. you are not using it, you are not getting advantage of it, its not important at all, but defending it so crazily that as if you'll be lost if its removed in hotlap mode.

no worries how much you beg how much you bleed will not make sense, as my request is supposed to have no such ''crazy'' posts. and i simply want it to be removed while hotlapping and online races. and be available in somewhere like test environment.

if you were truly not using it, you would say ''its ok. i only use it while making setups, just make it available to us in single mode so we can create good sets with its help.''


seriously, why would i be stupid for requesting such thing? you must have been happy with that. but you call me stupid then eh

one guy did a good job showing the difference between normal & F mode, unfortunately, it was showing so much about what i am talking.



yes, that makes hell of a difference.

Quote :OF COURSE, I am not saying that there is no one who uses the F-mode, but as I said earlier, it does not matter at all, and that's it.

it does, really. it matters.

Quote from Becky Rose :Have you not considered that the view on a monitor is MUCH more restrictive than the real thing in the first place, and that custom views - or in this case force view - is restoring some of the lost visibility that you would have in a real racing situation?

should take this as a confession?

if you dont have an HD 100+cm tv then you lose some visibility. but you dont sweat, you dont feel the G forces, and you dont vibrate behind your wheel. and also you do have more tries than you have in real.

no F mode is not like restoring a visibility. okay, restore it with custom views. but F mode never feels right. custom views are realistic to a certain extent. but force mode is totally a bullshit and has nothing to do with reality. it should be only allowed somewhere like setup environment.

Quote from Jakg :As a change from all the flaming.

S.E.T.H - Would you like to *clearly* explain the advantages that the "force mode" gives a driver? Is it the cameras new position, or the "at the wheels" force data, or both?

you can see much better where the tires are, and abuse the track to its very limits.

you can see the way better, with better sight

you can gain advantage in race with it. that you can see better, find places among cars to pass.

generally, better sight gives you advantage, it adds around 40% more sight. i myself did quarter of a second faster times with it.

one mouse player (lagger) told that he was gaining advantage with this mode too in this thread. he is s2 licensed and registered in 2008. but everyone ignored him and noone wanted to give him a hearing.

Quote from Chupacabras84 :We never strayed from the topic, if you actually would read my previous post you would notice the line about how your times are what they should be for someone new.
If after a mere month you could spin times compared to WR that would put under question effort of everyone else who spend years on polishing car/track combo and setup.

Second is if you compare your time to demo players then you should know that most of them played it for years (As it is 3 cars one track they really had time to perfect it) and now they can drive it with eyes closed and one finger in the ass and still beat you.

Your expectancy of what your times should be compared to other players come from the fact that you underestimate everyone else and overestimate yourself.

you talk as if i blame everyone that is faster than me of using Force mode. no, i do not. there are faster people obviously. and i am for sure not the fastest. probably will never be. but this is not what i am talking about. there are still some people who gets advantage from it. and i dont really understand what you are against when i say it should at least be blocked on ''hotlap'' mode.

this should make people drive without the mode on, if they want to upload good hotlaps, they will have to race without force mode, to get used to it.

Quote from Chupacabras84 :At first I really wanted to give you serious answers, pointing to you that your times are really what it should be for someone new, how you dont know all the nuances of racing (braking point alone can make 3 sec difference just like that)
But then I read the rest of nonsense you pulled here trying to back yourself up with misunderstood quotes from wiki and i lost it.

Its nice you can use wikipedia, too bad it cant think for you
First of all it would be ad hominem if not for the fact that people you are trying to prove wrong actually know something about racing, unlike you.
Now look here.

This is ad hominem.

This word you keep using...

Well you see, your first post I quoted it is a typical logical fallacy. Why? Because it is stating that argument is ad hominem but in your reasoning why it is ad hominem you totally missed the fact that people who you are trying to disprove are the one who know more than you on topic that is being discussed, which is actually the point of the Jettascuba's statement and something that prevent it from falling under ad hominem category

O.K. now back to topic

Quote from Eclipsed :Imagine,how dissapointed would he be,if this evil force would be removed and everyone still would drive same pace and still beat him on track?

i'd LOVE to be proven wrong and buy s2 the other day

one notice: i have been beaten obviously but ive got the potential. i have never got kicked from a server. and experienced people told me that i was catious and know what is happening around me.

Quote from Jettascuba :1) At least have the decency to buy a license before ripping a 'game' you are clueless about.

2) This is a simulation of real world and as such if gives you the ability to learn from the forces on the car to improve your racing

3) Do a decent (I mean a top 10) hotlap in LFSW before you say a nother word - for that matter, do a hotlap and prove your dribble. BTW, you may use 'F' mode if you so wish (I don't and don't need to and I know there is no advantage in it)

4) Pity you are clueless about the drivers, who replied on this thread, that you are ripping off with your nonsense - like Becky etc etc.

1-dont get mad, relax
2-i played demo as to get a clue. i'd buy s2, if there was no such mode.
3-games have demo versions as to give us a clue about the game. i wont have more clue when i buy s2 than i have now.

4- ad hominem. attacking me instead talking about the subject

and an example: all of you did it, your arguments are fail. like this;

1 Source S makes claim C.
2 Group G, which is currently viewed negatively by the recipient, also makes claim C.
3 Therefore, source S is viewed by the recipient of the claim as associated to the group G and inherits how negatively viewed it is.

ad hominem examples:

"You can't believe John when he says the proposed policy would help the economy. He doesn't even have a job."
"Candidate Jane's proposal about zoning is ridiculous. She was caught cheating on her taxes in 2003."
"What would Mary know about fixing cars? She is a woman." (an example of Ad feminam)

Quote from Joku123 :I often edit my set when I'm hotlapping. No reason to waste time and go to single player where you can't use tyre warmers which makes car feel different.

too bad for you that you can't simply admit that you are using it when you are hotlapping and when you are racing and killing the realism of the game, getting advantage.

@Becky_Rose, your signature gives me enough information about you. you could just ignore my thread it doesnt really matter what relationship(!) you got with the force mode. players using it and getting advantage + killing the realism. thats what we are talking about. not your own likings.


''i used it and i didnt like it, it really does not give me advantage, nor should it give to any other. so we must keep it because everyone feels, sees, controls like me. if i dont use it and if i dont get any advantage, this means noone is using it and nobody gets advantage''

Quote from Chupacabras84 :First of all lap times are:
Knowledge of the track.
Knowledge of the car and its limits.
Your ability to keep car on the perfect race line.
Ability to control throttle and brake.
Your personal setup.
There is tons and tons of things that influence your lap times but transparent car is not one of them.

Beside you said the players can see the road better, even at the speed of 100 km/h if player can see something that he wouldnt be able to see from cockpit its mean there is not time to react to it anyway.
There is nothing you can see in the force mode that will help you to get trough track easier.

Force view is being helpful for some player to raise fps at the start of the grid (Yeah there are some who have that shitty pc's), force view allow players to see forces which is helpful when you making set.
Beside it there is nothing more that will help you or make you a better player.

Unless you can tell me what can you see in this mode that makes it easier for you to win.
There is simply nothing.
Of course it might be not realistic but its a computer game and saying that force view its biggest of its problem its a serious understatement.
Beside if you are going to win do you really care whether losers used force view or not?
Unless you cant win then its a different story.

then you should not be against blocking the feature on HOTLAPPING.

in where you are not making setups and you dont have many cars to lag your pc.

Quote from Cornys :I can't say I've ever used Shift + F online... when I tried it offline once it made me feel stupid and I lost 4 seconds on my lap times.

You can feel the force on the car for the most part with FFB and a little inferencing anyways

ATTENTION:


we are NOT TALKING ABOUT SHIFT+F mode.

we are talking about FORCE MODE. where you only see the car's tires and wheel. activated in game by pressing F

Quote from CheerioDM :OMG watch your mouth! There are children that frequent these forums!

lol how artificial you are..

copying my message to have them read again then? why are you not so sensible enough to just write me a message or write in here without a quote of that ''bad word'' ?

those who say;

-i am not using it
-it does not give advantage
-it is not important

and defend the feature to the death showed obviously how they are racing.

if its not giving advantage, and its ONLY for setup research, then you can actually block it on hotlapping & online right?

one guy said it was useful while making a set, ok then, try to make sets offline

the other said it was useful online, because some other players have weak pcs that cant handle the game. hmm, then he should not be against blocking the feature on hotlap mode. after all, you dont have cars in there to lag your computer and you are not working on the set in there.

right?

i must be afk and i'll come tomorrow to discuss it hopefully with more respected people.

those who called me stupid, or kid, or called me newbie or without knowledge, or sent pictures describing me as a crying kid, went over the cliff. as there supposed to be no such responses if you really believe its not used + not effective. there supposed to be only logical answers and not kiddings. but i see the community in the track is probably better than the one here. ive just witnessed being called a moaner and a kid because i critisized the game and pointed out what this game is missing.

dont get too angry because your little secret is exposed.

if that mode was not helping you, you would eagerly join me to remove it. if its so important to make setups then they can let it be in single mode?

yes, it gives you better sight, i tried it myself and i was quarter of a second faster than my general times. i was also better in races.

it allows you to abuse the track to the very limits of it to make better laps.

i dont really believe you would defend it as it allows the game to be played with weaker pcs.

and i dont agree with you on that a guy would not be advantaged with force mode. of course he/she would.

Quote from Eclipsed :Yea,there we go - a user joined just month ago driven just over 1000km want's to make a revolution because he has beaten by one random guy who happened to use the dark side force. Go go,boy!

its good that i made you smile. yeah i have driven little, like i said, and stopped driving since i saw such mode was available. i was always wondering why people were faster, and maybe that is the reason.

you are failed, i wasnt kicked from anywhere, ive had friends in game and it was silent but good environment.

Quote from TFalke55 :Why not remove it? Well it was not near any imortance. If mother nature got rid of everything which was not important our DNA would be only one thenth of the size. I mean, seriously, it sounds like you are searching for a reason to not continue playing LFS. Go out, join some league racing and show the world that you can do it without this help. It does not give you that big of an advantage as you think. Believe me or leave. We heard your statement, but you should not believe that using swear words in a first post brings you any advantages. You could've posted your opinion in a polite way, but you decided to insult highly decorated racers as well as long-term members. Also you have a big problem with your view on the world. You even question the honesty of posts? suzuki94 holds several WRs, just for your information.

you talk like Eclipsed, going far away from what i meant.

about suzuki94

1-there is no proof of if he really uses it or not.
2-he can hold records with F mode off, if he is talented i dont see problem here
3-he could probably hold more wrs if force mode was not there. (if hes honest)

Quote from Eclipsed :How is that the biggest problem? It is in same level as live tyre temperatures shown in F9 menu,damage meter in F10,map overlay,split times,time gaps to all other drivers and other stuff not available in real life racing. So if you want pure realism,you have to remove those too.

Before accusing me using the dark side of force...ehm,I mean force mode,I don't use it either,as I need to see the car to control it. But it is a useful feature that helps to understand what is going on with car,sometimes helps to understand what adjustments to setup needed and if I understand correctly - it was meant for that!

i'll tell you nothing but what you wrote is not different than what you had written. thats what we call ''same shit, different ass''

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :S.E.T.H

... You are completely wrong! Completely!


You really think people in here are so talentless that they MUST use the freaking F mode to get the best lap as possible???

You really think it?

You have no idea about LFS, demo racer...


Hah! HAhahahahha ahhaha!....Go, go back to play Big Rigs! there is no force mode, it is the force whole game, specially when R-gearing...


Really, next! ---->

no i do not think it. i'd prefer a serious reply, not a kidding one with half an english.

if they are not using, (even if somebody is using) it should be removed.





to the people above that called me stupid with those little jokes that shows their brain capacities, i got nothing to say but just they are not racing with the cars, but with 4 tyres 4 sticks upon them.

Quote from TFalke55 :Well, that force view has hardly a use in true online racing, believe me. I've used it three times in 6 years of LFS, those three times only to test something out in singleplayer. It gives you way too less information for my information.

But custom views allow racers using mouse or keyboard to have a chance against drivers with wheel or even simulators. mousers or keyboarders don't feel the forces, they have to see them on the monitor.

if its used hardly, why not remove it?

ive played many games, rfactor too, i was able to play it with mouse and without force mode. and i was fast.

there are many other simulation games and none of them offers such weird mode to 'help' mouse or keyboard drivers.

Quote from Flame CZE :To remove the ability to use the F mode and force cockpit view, there is a host option for that, so it is up to the server hosts.

what about the fake (in my opinion) hotlaps then? is there option to see hotlaps if force mode was used or not? check it and im sure 90% of the times made with F mode on.


ban the F mode on all of the servers for just 1 day and see whole timeboards are dropping.

thats what lfs is missing, thats why so little players are out there (afaik).
instead of joining me to remove that bullshit, you press me as if i do something wrong. play the fake ''simulation'' game with your fake view, you are not using simulator, you are using some fake 4 tires with 4 orange sticks on them.

I guess his reaction was just a "oh I don't give a s*** about someone saying he is not even 10 years old."

You could rage about the custom views, as there you can see the road also alot better.

i'd rage more to see custom views + force mode :grumpy: after all i dont think custom view would give you as much advantage as F mode gives. and would not ruin reality, as much as F mode.
