i think that S1 racers could contact each other and organize an uncommon combo server, if that would happen i promise i will join to such S1 server...from time to time i look for S1 servers but i don't find any, it's up to you guys to arrange a good alternative, at this moment S2 servers are quite boring with always the same combos, you have a rare opportunity now: make it happen and you''l never be alone!
problem with S1 is, there is 1: no autoskindownload and 2: everyone has either S2 or only demo
anyways, we have driven a lot GTI on S1 track lately on the ZT server, but when we switched to S1, nobody would join
I havent really read any discussion on the subject so i dont know why the licenses are split into different "modes". though i do know it has been said before, but, still, it would be nice if s1 users could connect to the s2 servers running s1 content. The little click the s2 users have to do to mege with the s1 users is obviously one click too many :\
I guess the only workaround is upgrading all S1 accounts to an S2 mix, where you have all features, but not all cars/tracks. Dunno if that will work though...
But that was discussed already like 1000 times, and the devs said, they cant change the whole unlocking and security system just for 10 people, who could easily buy S2 instead.
I don't mean to sound disrespectful, and I absolutely remember what it's like not to have a lot of cash, but jeez: couldn't one of you guys in Ireland give Dougie 12 pounds to mow your lawn or something? Then his problems would be solved.
Use a download manager?
Everytime you go on the internet you resume the download where it left of last time. Bit by bit you reel it in. Sure it will take some time, but you'll get it that way. Assuming you pay by minute online or something (don't know how it is over there but that's the way it was here before the broadband explosion), it won't cost you anything more.
Well, at least say a "Thank you TinyK! for buying me an S2 licence!" then state why you can't use it. Just to let you know, I know many Irish LFSers who have S2 and broadband too so its nothing to do with the "Irish government" .
i was just thinking the same thing, if he has enough internet "power" to get onto the forums, then he should have enough to download S2, even it would be at a slow rate
