Quote :From what I said before I just bought S2 now I'm going to see what its inside on it


pretty much nothing
I just looked at the servers and wanted to race. it's horrible! is cargame now the only server left for s2? It seems demo servers are all there is. That's a pretty bleak future!. Even in low traffic times, there should be at least 2 or more s2 servers with more than 1 racing himself.
it seems being a demo racer is more rewarding than paying for it.

Hello,
I discovered a ghost on the track of South City.
The ghost is lurking behind the track for anyone to see.

the reason I see the future not so bright is the lack of an option to design tracks, or to have users submit tracks to the dev team. If there will ever be an update; just 1 new track will not satisfy the marority of users. Compared to other race sims. so, devs, please open up the ability for a track plug-in!

Quote from Danke :If the devs threw up their hands and quit right now, it could turn out for the best. Especially if they published the track file format.

I'd love to import all my f1c tracks into lfs.

Can a blue and a yellow flag be shown at the same time? this morning i got a blue flag, faster car was behind me, and there was a car in front that had spun and obviously had a yellow (which i couldn't see). i only saw the blue shown and amost couldn't avoid the one in front.

I have to conclude : increasing realism, raising price

yes, but if you are constantly involved in crashes and ramming others, on purpose or not, maybe it's then time to protect other drivers, and send you to a server that is more noob oriented. remember it's the car that wrecks that's being removed/spectated/whatever not the car that is being wrecked.
sudden movements on straights, towards the side, are mostly always crashers.

Quote from L@gger :Agree with you AndRand. In racing are crashes included. Its nothing wrong if someone push someone by mistake and end at grass so this wouldnt be good... It just needs to reduce heavy crashes by rammers.

But.. would you trust a driver with more than 10 of these heavy crash 'mistakes?'
The only way you can identify a crasher is a series of big velocity impacts , with a great relative speed , or a sudden movement sideways which leads another car crashing.
You can have a counter which counts these kind of crashes, and ban a player who has like 5 or more of these idiot crashes. Just like a safety rating, only more precise. So.. i'm not familiar with insim, but if you can get access to all drivers speed and position one could make a plugin. otherwise it's up to the devs who have bigger things on their mind i think.

I'm a hobby programmer; it could be surprisingly simple; cars have a speed vector V , if both vectors are on a collision course which can not be avoided , action can be taken . Of course reality is more complex. The computer can not decide if it is intentional or simply race accident. Therefore one could introduce a crash rating just like safety rating. I have no knowlegde about networking or lag problems so if it's not possible then it's not..
But i don't know if it's needed; I raced demo for a few months and there it was needed but then I upgraded to S2 and the multiclass server I drive is fairly clean. Without much interfere from admins afaik. Because it is in everybody's interest to not cause crashes , and gain points.

There is a way to solve the problems. The programmers can program a 'crash avoider'.
For example, car A drives towards T1 and another car B, right behind car A brakes too late, crash imminent. This can be calculated and an automated sending to the pit lane for car B can be programmed.
Same goes for crashing from the side; excessive sudden movements which mean imminent crash between cars can be calculated, and just before any crash there can be automated measures taken.

' ís the rain coming? ' that's what I thought the whole race also.

Well, I did install rFactor , but the driving experience is no where comparable to this sim. So.. I might to plunge into the deep and purchase S2. (rfactor sucks a alittle, right?)

S1 is not a waste of money, but you get almost nothing from it. I wonder why they offer it for sale. You get some cars but no servers to play. And everyone knows lfs is for multiplayer. So this is a big - for me.
I wonder why there are no Blackwood servers with more cars. Is blackwood a DEMO track only?

Quote from Profi :The funny part is how the only racing server you can see right at the top is a server running the very same circle everyone has been going around for the past six years or so.

At the top is mostly the crash server

Only racing for a few weeks, but imo it's hard to find a server that is in between crash server and a pro server. The pro servers seem to focus on getting some hundreds of the drivers fastest time, over and over again on the same track, which is fine but this is too competitive for me. Also there is limited choice of tracks and they are fictional. I think when driving on Spa it would change a lot.. I don't know if this is the same when upgrading to S2. I've noticed the servers on S1 license are pretty much dead, which I really regret because SC is much more fun than blackwood imo which is quite boring.. I just want to have good realistic race at intermediate level.
