for me is the lack of new content which drives me down from being in LFS in a daily basis as I used to to in "the old times".

Up to the begining of S2 we used to get decent new content in a decent timeframe and kept everyone enthusiatic about the sim, but now not really the case ...a new car was announced with release date (if I remember correctly december 2008?) and then for almost two year we got only patches nothing really substancial to play with ...this is a game at the end of the day and must be fun... for me part of the fun was the regular new content.

There is probably a trillion reasons for the lack of frequent new development, and might all be right, but my feeling is the above ...my opinion

Primero que nada, lindo champ este ...lastima que lo tenian tan en secreto y recien me entere hace poco gracias a Ramon y Joselo

La clasificacion un horror, se me desconcto dos veces y solo llegue a dar una unica vuelta, clasifique 10mo.

Mi estrategia era de salir con gas hasta el cuello y llantas duras, para andar toda la carrera y hacer paradas de cortisimas para cumplir con la regla unicamente. El FXR no es el mas rapido en esta pista, pero es mas facil de llevar y perdona mas los errores, asi que mi idea era terminar entre los top 10 en mi primera carrera ...pero sobretodo terminar para puntuar.

Largue 10mo y bien conservador por las llantas frias consegui mantenerme en pista en la primera vuelta ganando varias posiciones de gente que se hiba matando... En las siguientes vueltas hasta la 14va llegue a ponerme 4to pasando varios, hasta que me alcanzo un FZR que siendo mas rapido en recta aun no entendi porque me quiso pasar en la chicana en lugar de esperar a la recta opuesta y pasarme tranquilo, en fin, ya fue ... Nos la pegamos feo, y me fui hasta el puesto 20!!!!! ...de ahi trate de recuperar, y termine 11vo.

Una lastima, siento que tenia auto para llegar mas arriba, sobre todo que empezando tarde el champ, necesito puntos gordos en cada carrera

Linda carrera al final ...muy contento porque gano Ramon que se lo merece por como ando toda la semana un avion en ese FZR!!! ...congrats!

Anyone thinks there will be any updates to the collision model between cars? ...thats really the single one thing I would love to see changed/improved/updated in LFS.

Excited about all these updates ...thanks Scavier!

I will probably win a life time ban for me and my sons and my grandsons (if and when!), but I dont deal well with abuse, and having being in this redline servers a few times I do have to say that this Evo guy is quite abusive, not only in his language but overall attitude towards other ppl in HIS server.

I fully understand its YOUR server dude and you can do as you please ...you pay for the beans, is up to you to do tacos or burritos, but if you invite other to YOUR party, I believe we could all live with a better attitude and manners. Its a simple courtesy to your guests.

I might be wrong, but think I even got a ban time for defending some other guy on an incident vs Evo, so got kicked (or banned?), not sure for that ...oh well.

I am sure its nothing like that in real life, but on the servers I saw, it kinda looked like a 15 y.o. drunk on a power trip, showing off how powerfull he was by banning here and there.

Thank god, there is plenty of servers left. If there werent any other servers on earth and i would have to cope with that kind of attitude and abuse to play, I would probably stop playing.

So banned I must be now... lol


PS. As you can see from my join time and insignificant number of posts that I dont use to pst much, just read the forums regularly to keep up on the news, so believe me, this is not to increase my postcount, I meant whjat I said.

From personal experience, the only way to stop smoking is STOP SMOKING.

This seems (and probably is) a stupid and obvious remark, and before the flames reach my new underwear, let me explain further...

I smoked for almost 20 years, 20 to 30 cigs a day in the last few years. Just for ppl to see I was not just a casual smoker, I was very much addicted.

I thought of quiting millions of times, through the past few years, specially after I had family. But for one reason or another, I never did... oh a smoker can find so many excuses, you wouldnt belive.

The thing was for me (this I guess varies from person to person, so no golden rule) the habit of smoking was very attached to certain circumstances or rutines, it was automatic if you want. Bathroon, after a meal, after sex, with a drink, after sports (watching them on TV!), driving, waiting, etc ...each one of us has its own list.

So once I realized this, I tried to break those patterns by doing something else, like chewing gum (said before ...really works!), have a coke (from some reason coke worked for me), drink a lot of water, or eat a fruit.

Now, the decision of not smoking was terrfying, I smoked all my adult life, and couldnt picture myself without my "partner", so I did it one day at the time, one hour at the time, one minute at the time ...the fear of making a long term statemtn of not smoking is too severe, start by saying, "ok, I wont smoke this one, will wait 10 minutes" ...knowing that in ten minutes you "can" have it easy the carvings alot more than if you think you wont be able to do it again.

I used to do that every time I wanted a smoke, not this minute, later it was not this hour, not today and suddenly ...1.5 years without a smoke Knowing that you cant is the worst so dont stress yourself, make small comittments to yourself, and go with them, put together all of them make a HUGE commitment.

My tip ...sure there are 1001 others.

The BF1 and FO8 defenitively need some improvement. If u ever heard a Formula 3000 or F1 from the stands you know they really scream like nothing in this earth on high revs. In U36 when spectating it almost seems like a vacum cleaner on steroids. Come on there must be something better than this for these cars.

The rest seem to be ok, still dont like much over muffled sounds, but you could say each car sounds more or less as you would expect. Would like more engine sound in all cases, but can live with this.
The FO8 and BF1 are a diff story. Hope they get fixed, cos they dont sound anything close to a real F1 or F3000.

Hablemos Nelson ...creo que para mejorrar el nivel en Latinoamerica la unica forma es compitiendo. Como sabes hace algun tiempo trate de promover un campeonato latinoamericano, pero la majoria de comunidades aparentemente tiene eventos "internos" como prioridad antes de mandarse a tratar de organizar algo regional.

Mis contactos los tienes.

Tony,
The situation you describe sounds more like a demo server than a full S2 server. Usually LFS players are more civilised ...I said "usually", since all of us have met at some point the jerk who enjoys distroying everyone elses fun. But thats NOT usual.

The usual patern in a situation like you descirbed is the endless crash-restart, where the 3 or 4 ppl who crashed in turn one try to get the race restarted so they have another chance (usually to crash again). Ppl crashing and just leaving ...gosh, sometimes I would love to see that
Anyways, my 2 cents for you, specially if you are starting...

1. Try servers named by a Team, that will most likely assure that they are well administrated and moderated in case is necessary. Nothing is 100% sure, but your chances of a well moderated server increase if the owner of the server is a team, specially ther well known ones. In you time zone (same as mine), I would suggest any of the CORE servers, the CeroLag server (if you speack spanish), or our server (usually named: www.blacksheepteam.com) were you would be more than welcome.

2. Try servers with 3 or 4 ppl at first, they tent to be more open for communication, chat a little, ask for a good setup, etc. Servers with 10+ ppl tend to get very competitive, and ppl has less patience with the newer racers.

One of the beuties of LFS (compared to other games) is that you can make 20 races (5 laps) is just a couple hours of gameplay... most servers dont have a mandatory qualify at start, and in most servers you can join the server and the race, even if its already started, so the time between you launch the game till you are racing rubbing bumpers with someone else, is really the fastest thing you will get. Most servers start a race, in less than 2 mins of the end of the previous.
Take a look around and take it easy, if server doesnt looks confortable to you, just switch servers ...dont have to stay were you are not having fun.

Hope to see you on the track!

Quote from Dethred :...when they act like jackasses and say stupid crap like "If you don't like it don't play it".

ROFL ...now I am a jackass and say crap. Very adult and respectful way of passing your point of view.
This gets more and more entretaining by the day. Lets see what I am tomorrow.


PS. For those who have not followed this thread, it was me who posted "If you don't like it don't play it", meaning, why bother discussing over a game? if you feel so strong about the flaws of a game, why bother even playing it (not to mention posting about it), get that other game that maybe you think is better. End of story.
If I play LFS for almost 3 years now, is because if have fun, sure there are flaws, but for me the pros are largely greater than those flaws, and with the aggregate bonus that in here you have a comitted dev team which makes every effort to solve those flaws, little by little.
So, my question is why bother wasting your precious time in something you dont enjoy?
