sorry but i just have to get that off my chest ..

Wtf should i care if I ram/push somebody from the track if 3/4 of the ppl dont give a damn and nobody seems to care anyway ? Yesterday I managed to survive maybe 5-6 races out of hmm like 15. So today I think to myself "it was prolly just your luck , new day wont be that bad" but nooo now i managed to survive 2 out of 5 races. Most of them finished at t1 or t2 and mind you mostly I was starting from the first 6-10 position so i thought tat means ppl know what the middle pedal is used for ....

Sometimes I think ppl in the back of the pack try to drive more carefully than the leading positions cause they are scared to be called noobs , but after they reach the first 10 they automaticly think they dont need break anymore...

Breaks are not for pussies , the look left/right buttons are also VERY USEFULL!!

Quote from joen :

And that's why those issues will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches for sure. New steps towards realism shouldn't be held back because of other known realism issues. Remember that this is a sim in development. So it should become more realistic, step by step. Personally I would like Scawen to prioritize on the collision detection for the new patch, but who knows what he will do first, it's up to him
People that have something against the changed resets are in for a tough time when the damage model will be improved. But at least you have a valid reason to object to it

sure thing and I totally agree that the developement should go forward not stay put in the same place , but what i suggest is that untill those patches fix those problems (sure hope they will sooner than later :P) just leave the 3 options for the server admin to decide . Later after they fix those silly crash places go ahead and remove the reset button alltogether for what i care , cause only then you can say "well its a racing sim so get over it as its more realistic".

But untill then just leave it as it is cause those kind of accidents are bound to happen and sooner than later , and i dont think any of the ppl that rush in here to criticise the reset option for now would be to thrilled to be catapulted into space at the last lap just because they hit a barrier at the wrong angle

this is a dubble post , but as the other thread has 3 pages and prolly wont be viewed by ppl that made their opinion on page 1 or 2 I'll repost it here also Sorry if thats a violation of any rules ...

Most of you ppl that criticise the old reset button (its your own fault that you flipped, you should not flip at the last lap while leading etc..) fergot one small issue that discredits all your "its real life sim deal with it " statements , and whjat is it ? .... BUGS.. what do i mean by that you ask ?

Well in real life i dont recall that hitting a metal barrier(spelling) makes you fly like you were a f-16 about to take off , or hitting a tyre or other wierd place (and there are lots of place like that on the tracks , example the last chicane on fe just before the finish line , if you hit the wall to fast you go off flying like a rocket) dosent make you fly and spinn at ridiculous speeds and variations.

So sure I am all for the "real life sim = no reset" BUT after they FIX all the ridiculous bugs that make you crash even thou you should not even get a big scratch after that type of bump/hit.

Dont get me wrong I love LFS and am in no way criticising the devs as its the best sim I ever played but please consider that sometimes due to bugs you have to take compromises between realism and common sense

I read like 3/4 of the thread so if it was pointed out after that then I am very sorry to repeat but:

Thank You very much devs , great great work , when I become a millionaire on the stock market I'll donate you all a nice car

I do know how you feel Recently i made a few drastic changes to some view options and now seem to be alot slower even thou it suits me more . So today I was racing on the silver ctra (spelling :P) server and after a accidental wreck (no idea where he came from :P ) i was advised by some racer to get it back together as ppl are noticing that lately my driving wasnt to great (no offence to You ,and thank you for the info :P) . So now I lost my confidence cause of the fear that i'll wreck somebody and loose my license :/ So now i tend to start last and just follow the pack arround and somehow cant force myself to start overtaking ppl :/

oh yes , thank you thank you for showing us that you dont need millions of dollars and a team of 200ppl and 300 monkeys to make a decent (great in this particular case) racing simulator. Keep up the great work and I do hope that one day you will get lots and lots of cash for this as you deserve it 100%.

thank you

so erm a bit noobish question :P I bought a shiny g25 a day ago and was using the whole 900 rotation . so where can i see the actuall rotation of the car so I can ajust according to how the real car handles

PS: Sorry for my english

somebody call or sms the devs ) say sorry that you woke them up but we need a serv restart and we say "hi" to the wifes :P

dang its pretty late and i think devs are in same time zone so might not be arround to restart the serv (( hope they have some kind of night watch :P

same thing here , cant connect .
