I think this whole debate about a patch is being misdirected. Everybody is talking about waiting for the tire physics because it takes time, and they're right. But other cars, or tracks, could be developed while Scawen is working on the physics. The VW shouldn't need new physics to be released.
PS; LFS may not be dying, but it's very damn sick. Family has been notified. Funeral arrangments may be needed soon if it doesn't recover.

I still can't understand why content that is ready can't be released. Isn't Rockingham ready? Isn't the VW ready? These 2 items have been used on various promotion events and yet we can't even try them? Seems to be a priority problem with the way this is being handled.
Wow, pretty interesting thread. Lot's of different opinions loudly expressed. As a proud American who served in the military, I think our country has never done itself any favors when it comes to "world opinion". We've always tried to be the big brother that would help when called upon. I honestly think that we should do what most people in the rest of the world "think" they would like us to do. And that is, keep ourselves in our country, defend our borders with extreme prejudice, and not answer any requests for our "unwanted" help. Let the rest of the world take care of itself. Hell, it would be interesting to see how that would turn out. Then all the self-righteous that have complained in the past can prove a point by being the last man standing.
I believe you mean monetary reimbursement.
"labtop",,,gotta love our american education system
I think the bottom line is this; how much do you want to spend to race in a sim?
LFS is, so far, a one time pay sim. Pay for it and use it as much as you want, when you want. Any new content like cars or tracks that have come out in the past, no payment necessary. Drive online or offline, your choice.
iRacing is pay by the month. Someone said you get free upgrades in iRacing, no you don't. You have paid for the present, and future upgrades, by being a paying subscriber. Any new cars or tracks, if you want to use them, you must buy them. It's been said that once you pay for cars and tracks you own them forever. Not really cause they are useless unless you keep paying by the month. Drive online, yes. Drive offline, no.
It's all a matter of how much do you want to spend. It would be interesting to know the cost of iRacing for a 3 year period, including all tracks and cars, compared to the cost of LFS for 3 years

They were going to have it in Arizona but after the recent law changes they wouldn't have had any cheap labor available
Actually, I think Austin will be a great site for it. Indy had so many other things going on that it took away from the spectacle of an F1 race. A track built in Austin would be the big game in town, should work...

Wow, when I saw this on the news I was shocked. To lose that many government leaders in one incident is scary. My sympathies go out to the polish people because this will cause an uncertain future for weeks, if not months. The uncertainty is, who will take the place of the ones lost, and what will it mean for your country. Again, my sympathies to anyone who lost a loved one in this tragedy.
PS; It was great to see the unity of the polish people at the memorials setup throughout the country. Proves that we are all humans and, no matter what our differences, in times of turmoil we all care.

Curling is like golf, if you know how to play it, you'll love it. To be good at it takes loads of skill (and some luck). It's unbelievably fun once you understand what's going on.
I race almost exclusively on european servers and I don't have any lag issues at all. Could your lag be pc related? In LFS the most important part is the processor.
How about Antec or some other pc case maker?
Wow, what a comment. I live in the USA too, but I hate to tell you, there's alot less brains being used in the US than you think. But then again, that huge superiority complex that alot of people have over here makes them think that they're smart.
Jeez, some people should only open their mouths to change feet.

Well this has been one of the more interesting discussions I've seen on the forum in a long time. Everybody here has brought up some good and correct points. In my life I've lived 23 yrs in Canada, and 30yrs in the US. So I've experienced both systems. I must say, that given a choice, I'd choose the socialized canadian system over what we have in the US right now. How can our system be fixed, well it won't be easy and it will piss-off somebody no matter what is done.
Lobby groups; these bastards are the root of all that's evil in the US. They control the purses of multi-million dollar companies. They don't give a crap about anything but making the company more money. Until the governmant controls these pricks once and for all, nothing can be done.
Canada sits to our north with what, approximately 10% of our population numbers. Which means a much smaller tax base, and yet prescription drugs are as much as 75% cheaper there. A lot of these drugs that they are paying less for are manufactures in the US. How can this be happening? Cause the Canadian government, warts and all, won't allow lobby groups to control pricing. Now in our governments infinite wisdom, they've made it a criminal offense to purchase drugs from Canada.
Until the government says not to these major companies, the government won't be able to make any lasting reforms to anything medical or otherwise.
Somebody said it comes down to who'll pay for it, NO IT DOESN'T. It comes down to who can make the most money.
The bottom line is this: I love my country, hell I was willing to die for it if necessary, but we have to stop judging people by what they have. Judge the person themselves, not if they have a nice car, home, or make lot's of money. But I guess in a free enterprise system like ours money comes before humanity. Sad!

He would've still won, look who the Republicans had to offer as an alternative. Plus, as a voting Republican myself, it was time for a change. The key word there is change. We're still involved in 2 wars, and sending more troops. For those that keep bringing up Bush's name, keep looking back. Listen, I applaud what Obama said he will do, and some thingd he wants to do, but, a President who's a Democrat, with a Democratically controlled government, doesn't have much wiggle room for excuses.
I served in the military back in the 70's, thank god no wars, and I wish these conflicts would end today. But until they do, how can a peace award be given to someone who's leading them. It just seems weird and strange.
What 'do-gooding'? All he's doing is bankrupting our country. He's a one term wonder.
But it is strange as hell, the leader of 2 wars is getting a Peace Prize.

I've been riding bikes for about 35 years and I've never had an accident on one. Plenty of close calls tho. My father told me something when I switched from moto-x to street riding that has been in my head for all these years. He said, "watch the other drivers and imagine the dumbest thing they could do and be ready for it because that's probably what the idiots will do".
Most cage drivers don't notice other cars, much less bike riders. Why do you think that over here the most popular bike is the loud, heavy, Harley. Now the new thing is running with high beam lights on and a module that make them flash like crazy
Still people hit bikers!
As for your friend having to pay everything, a sad rule is that if you hit the rear of another vehicle, you're almost always assumed to be at fault.
Moral of the story; Next time a granny in front of you locks up to not squish a kitty kat, be ready

I always use cable connection for my pc. Wifi is just for my wife's laptop.
Yes, I had the wireless protected by a password, but this jerk was hacking the password somehow.

The Very End, a big +1, but you missed one huge point in your statement. Over here in the U.S.A we tend to have some people who are either lazy or dishonest. Wireless signal theft is a huge problem over here. You're right, if a person has a wireless connection in the house it's very easy to run a cable to a pc used for LFS and other online activities. But if you're stealing wireless from your neighbor, well, it's either laggy wireless or nothing at all.
I've seen it many times over here. I caught my neighbor using my wireless and he makes more $ than I do, he owns his own company!!! I asked him why he was using my signal, his response, "I didn't see anything wrong with using it", and "why pay for something I only use occasionally". Needless to say, the police almost had to be called because I was ready to dismantle this arrogant prick. My red-faced, near heart attack rant must of scared him because his house is now for sale.
Pisses me off because shit like this just adds to the image of us americans as wanting everything for nothing. Some of us work for what we have.
Forgive this rant by an old, cranky, LFSer

Sorry you're right, it was Turn 2. But I'm sure I didn't hit anyone in the rear. But I do remember my car and another touching side to side. Of course, I'm old, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so. If you were hit in the rear I think it must've been some other driver.
PS; In the unlikely event that I'm wrong, Sorry.
Actually, you should watch a replay of the one (1) time we touched. It was in Turn 1, and I was on the inside and you turned into the side of my car. Then after the race you had to use namecalling for revenge.
I can see a lawsuit coming on this one. The news stated the plane he was on made an emergency landing the night before. He told his wife he hit his head when the plane landed and had a tire blow out. The next morning she wakes up and BAM, he's dead. I hate to say this, but as an american, I know what's coming next, somebody's gonna get taken to court.
Have you tried doing a system restore. I had the same thing happen about a month or so ago. I tried everything and every program I had to try and get rid of the problem. As a last resort before reformatting I tried a restore back to when I knew it was working. It worked, and then I used fix-it utilities to cleanup the registry. Been working fine ever since.
