Why can't we sign on new drivers mid-season? It is completely closed out now for all nations?

Quote from deggis :Good idea. Then we just need a badly designed car and everyone can virtually be Peter Dumbreck for a few seconds.

That was actually also attributed to the GTone in front of it, so not entirely the hump . Passing cars ahead of it created turbulent air.

Also some mopeds are prone to a lot of carbon build up inside the exhaust pipe... specifically in the catalytic converter. It kind of looks like a clogged artery so to speak, and it will greatly decrease your power. But I am convinced your bike is screwed up because of the actual engine changes.

Still, this is something to look out for. I had 2 mopeds that had this problem, both 2-stroke which are pretty messy. As a temporary fix, draining the whole pipe with paint thinner will dissolve most of the build up, but it's never better than a brand new pipe.

Quote from Bawbag :Wow, what an awesome day! Many thanks to Jay again for inviting us along.

I have to apologise though, we got some pictures and videos of us on the simulator but when we got home we realised the SD card wasn't plugged in properly. Tried saving all the stuff from the cameras memory to the card but it would only show as 1 picture. Typical that the 1 picture is crappy but i'll upload it later...

Worthless without pics!!! zomg!!

Dunno if it has been mentioned before, but how big are the paddle shifters on the wheel? Sod the stupid shifter, paddles shifters is what makes you fast. So are they tiny little things, or wide enough to fit 3 fingers on them?

Because small paddles = big failure

Quote from dougie-lampkin :If you mean your personal avatar, just right-click on it and go to properties. Look for image location. You can copy this and then use that as the address to your avatar...

But once you change your avatar your old one is lost, and you have to repeat the process...

However, that is hotlinking, and I don't think Victor wants to have people doing that.

Besides, the avatar URL will change each time he uploads a new one, because the URL is unique each time. I don't see why he can't upload the avatar himself on the other forum, or on Imageshack (using the direct-link URL after you upload) for example. All very easy.

Quote from frokki :You have a point, actually a good one. But calling names didn't help to deliver it, at least for me.

Sorry for the poor English ^

Well I don't care, March is just another brainwashed "realism" pundit anyways.

It doesn't take good English to understand a usability flaw in a video game.

What pisses me off and drives me up a wall is the passionate players who suggest great things that would indeed improve LFS... then for their suggestions to be downplayed and disregarded by tons of other LFS players who seemingly don't want LFS to change at all. Like nothing can be made better of LFS. Such people need to really open their eyes and realize what people expect more of in LFS, and in how many areas LFS could improve. If we just carry on and continue forgetting about these improvement suggestions, there's a high likelihood that the devs are reading and seeing it is a much lower priority altogether. And trust me, the devs read A LOT.

Well... you tell me...

Lets all just be completely blind and totally disregard an improvement suggestion and go about our way by having to switch an option to completely remove the steering wheel in order to see what gear you are in? Are we seriously THAT reluctant to have this game improved?

Gimme a break. I'd rather not want to see LFS be the same old piss crap where we have to use workarounds to get rid of a blatant poor design. Isn't it clear enough that people want to see LFS improved, and not have people muddling around with options to make things 'appear fixed' ?

And the last thing you lot can say is "I prefer not to show the arms" :rolleyes: Yes, and?

Quote from March Hare :@Tweaker
Well most people who drive with wheels have their wheel turning less than the on screen wheel. How is that realistic?
Besides no one is asking for the hands and wheel to be removed from the game. Just that if you want to see the gear indicator you should click the box to not show them.

I just knew someone would mention that, especially you. Hopefully you will grow up to be part of Ajp & Deggis' realism squad.

But I don't care if they aren't turning their wheel 2 full rotations, fact is, I care to see actual steering movement than nothing at all. It is quite easy to analyze someone's driving and their setup if you just watch how they steer the car. Oversteer is very easily seen at any rate of countersteering at the wheel, I don't see how that proves my idea wrong.

And you shouldn't have to remove the steering wheel/hands to see the gear indicator. "How is that realistic?" :rolleyes:

Ahh yes here it is.... lemme just turn off driver names so I can see roadsigns Bill!!! :rolleyes:

If you're going to come up with more asinine ways to completely ruin a video game's usability features, feel free to make a list, it is all quite laughable how you think people will conform to your own views of how-to play this game. Let's all just turn off our wheels guys, come on!!! March is leading a revolution here!!! I never knew real racecars have hidden gear indicators that the drivers cannot see, so they have to forget about steering the car with their hands/arms, and remove the steering wheel completely just to see it!!! WOW!

idiot

Quote from mrodgers :It's fine if you are not talking about "realism". But if you are talking "realism", you already have a wheel in front of you and 2 arms attached to your body. No need for a 2nd set of both.

With driving at your desk, everyone's arms are usually lower than the screen, and most people prefer to have 3D arms and wheel visible in the cockpit. I do, and especially when spectating so I can see someone's arm movements. Unless I have a full blown cockpit, and my arms are directly in front of the screen, then I have every reason to disable the wheel and arms, if not the whole dash entirely. But because of my setup which most of us all typically have (wheel on desk), I think it is perfectly fine for a game to have a 3D set of hands/arms and a wheel... matter of fact, a lot of driving games need to show them by default, or else you get into the whole 'this game is sooo 90's era' where you don't have any arms at all.

We wouldn't be complaining about the wheel covering the gear number in the first place if is wasn't for Scawen and Eric being so damn slow in making a proper dash cluster and cockpits in practically every car. Not to mention the driver models from an old Sega fighting game.

Funny.

But can't blame them for doing what most other people do by searching for something along the lines of "speed logo" on Google Image Search: http://images.google.com/image ... UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi It's on the first page of results right there

Well look at France for example. You know they could be a good competing nation, but they have no signups. Personally, I don't think you've spread the word much about this series.........

And unconfirmed dates and races make people unsure of signing up!

Quote from Breizh :He didn't say it had to have the XFG/R bodywork.

The XF is the XF, why would he have to say it has the XF bodywork when it is already known?

What, is the XF a pickup truck?

An MR XF would just be absurd in my opinion. The car looks way too dated to be a nice MR machine like the Clio's and VWs that are specially made. You need a much more modern hatchback to make a nice MR setup.

On top of that, I don't think it would be on the level of competition of the GTRs for various reasons. Power output versus the weight of the little car would throw everything off versus the bigger GTRs. On top of that, the wheel sizes on the GTRs are HUGE, and the grip of this little "XF V8" car would in no way match the GTRs because it would need to use much smaller diameter wheels, and narrower width. Then you get into the question of it having a proper aero package, and not all hatchbacks look good with a huge rear wing, and I know the XF would definitely look horrible.

I wonder if they have to shave their faces being sponsored by Phillips Shavers and all... Otherwise Button is leading quite a big following of bums

It's not just internal discussions, it is everything as a whole that leaves me no choice but to feel like leaving. Of course what was discussed internally sparked this whole fiasco, but I've come to realize that MoE is in a deeper pile o' shit than any of you guys can comprehend. And with current disconnection issues and foul play for what is supposed to be the 'ultimate endurance', just reveals more issues that nobody gives a damn or plays this seriously anymore. There is clearly not enough admin power to go around to keep anything afloat this late in the season.

Why you want to appear to have things in order is beyond me

Well I am through with this league at the moment, and resigning from any of my duties which can only be a healthy decision for myself to take a break from it all.

MoE still has serious issues in my opinion, and ones which I just cannot cope with to be of any help or value around here. The league is dated, admins are too busy, LFS has too many issues that just makes things even harder and more annoying for us all... and this isn't the kind of atmosphere I like to be in as an admin. I've folioed all my work, and wish to keep it that way. It should be quite clear I am upset about the progress of this league, and the views on how the admin team have handled it up to this point.

I still wish MoE and all its participants the best of luck for however long you want to bear being in the league. It is probably better that MoE moves into a different direction without my presence. I post here because it should perhaps turn a light bulb on to anyone that wants to help, because they are going to need it in order to survive.

I'll really only prefer to see endurance racing in its true form when LFS finally gets things straightened out in that department... otherwise it is just the same old LFS spectacle, boring daytime, and a less-than desirable environment for an "endurance league". Until then, see you all around.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :when you go to the front page... it is funny how the side-by-side comparison shows similarity between track and car... however, the colors are completely different. brownish real life vs colorfully green game. Almost as if its like Sao Paulo circuit, where they used to color the grass to be bright green instead of the color it really was...

Uhhh, small onboard cameras are usually very heavily saturated, and the weather at that track is mostly overcast. The purpose of that video is to show the accuracy of the track, not the color

Sure you did:
Quote from morpha :Stupid video, simply has nothing to do with speeding.

Simply?

Well you are analyzing the video far too closely, when the actual message is quite clear and right in front of you........ Hell, even cartoons are used for PSA's... and those don't have to be 'realistic'.
