Quote from BlueFlame :Vykos, so you agree that the damage system sucks?

No, it'sjust not complete.

Might be because THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS PRODUCT!!

oh, an uptodate damage system would make you go slower there too...

Well, due to the fact, you dont even know who does what in the devs team, you prolly might have forgotten that FernBay is about 4 years old and was one of the first tracks, Eric designed. And in the beginning it was done for the slow cars. So be patient, I bet there'll be an update to Fern Bay at some time. And besides that, it quite well covers the idea of a track of some little motorsports club in the caribean.

It's not Victor, it's Eric who designs the tracks, Blueflame. And then do a better fantasytrack by yourself or play something else, lame flamer.

maybe important league race coming up?
too much effort put, into developing the set?
Respect for good setupmakers way too low anyway.

There are a lot of points like the above, who are reasonable and imho OK and everyone should respect a "no" as an answer to a setupquestion.

I'd exchange "world" with "US of A". Thx

Quote from otolikos :Sure but there is resonnable hood view cause my desktop is my cockpit and i don't want to be forced to play with 2 cockpits........

roof != hood

As long as you sit to the left side of your monitor or you have moved the hoodview to the side, I'm ok with that

Quote from Juls :... and reasonable roof ...

There is NO reasonable roof view for a driver....

pitch, height and front/rear positions should be adjustable.

Quote from MajikC :In my opinion, the cockpit view is not a realistic view anyway so why enforce it?
When I drive a real car I need to move my head to change the radio but in LFS I can see where the radio would be, easily from the cockpit view.

get a matrox triplehead2go, put the FOV ingame to a real value, and I bet you wont see the radio anymore, without moving the head (also ingame) to see it

Edit: IT'S AN OPTION!

I agree with the fcv option, as long as it will be upgraded, so you can adjust the pov (or call it seat). I think it's great for a lot of leagues, to level the field. And all those, who wont change for any of the leagues: You either miss the prizes of the leagues or at least the league-racing action. That's your problem, because I think those leagues who use this option couldnt care less if some wont drive in it or will.
Oh, and besides that: Ask Rudi, the former keyboard and chasecam driver, what he thinks about wheel and cockpit

After the ranting, lets get to the needed updates for the forced cockpit option:

- customcam available for spectators pls (especially for streaming, watching league races with roof-cam e.g.)
- POV (not fov) adjustable in cockpitview. Meaning moving the position of the virtual eyes to front/back and up/down to some extent.

Not that those needed options where wanted years ago already....

Quote from Count Duckula :
Shotglass vbmenu_register("postmenu_474171", true); I'll post one tonight. - What I have picked up when spectating is that I brake way to early compared to others for example I'll hit the breaks at about the 100 meter mark while others hit it after the 50 meter mark and when I try that -BANG into the barrier Maybe as sam1600 says the fast guys have done some hex-editing and that's why they are able to stop so quickly ???

NO, I can assure you, that there is no such thing like hex editing to brake later. Not in S2 licensed full version, the anti cheat protection from LFS works very well. Same goes for the .spr files you can get on lfsworld.

I do think, maybe it's your controller (what are you using) setup, car setup and lack of feel maybe. But without a replay from you driving, no one can judge that.

Again: NO, DONT PUT YOUR SLOWNESS ON CHEATING, THERE AINT! (not online in S2, not in hotlapping)

Simple question most difficult task: Who will be allowed to be in it?

Besides the simple fact, that this wont happen, because of the missing tracks.

Quote from sam1600 :Forget about practicing your driving.

Most (all?) of the fast guys cheat.

You should practice your hex-editing skills instead. That's the only way to be fast.

hahahaha, NO

The number of daily users online increased since S1 release by about 300% If people remember the first year of S1 and the max. users online. To nowadays numbers. Physics update next and S2 final, and then it goes on and on. The community is way more stable than any comparable in the web. Maybe WC3 and CS are on the same level, in terms of continuus players.

Quote from DeXteRrBDN :
ok, maybe 40% is a bit too much, this should not be the normal case, but the last races where in fernbay, blackwood and southcity

Again, the tracks are not an excuse. If you drive e.g. Fern Bay with the small GTRs, it is well known, that you can easily flip on the curbs.

First of all: LFS-physics-Engine problem, but:

It is well known, so FFS avoid the curbs. It's so damn easy. Sure, you arent pulling the WR time then, but you finish, and the WR-guy might prolly not. So who wins the race then?
