My thoughts on this;
Airio improves the standard of racing and is welcome in my book.
iRacing is too stuffy for me, I just want a place to chat and race with my friends all day.
Friends aren't online often anymore because they're bored with the same old stuff.

I certainly got my money's worth out of LFS though. Thanks to the devs!

Yes, I really had to stand my ground with them as they switched me to the "cancellation department" so an expert persuader could try his luck. I got the code though so I can just forget about them, I guess.

I have the same problem as you guys. due to plusnet's system, my server list shows around half the servers with normal pings and the other half (the servers i want to actually use) with pings of 3000+

It's infuriating, my friends are there but I can't race with them.

I've been with plusnet for 6+ years. This officially sucks. I don't want to fanny about with wireshark captures or tracking down vague numbers from every server, i just want it fixed, because I pay so much for a freakin premier package that isn't premier.

edit: switching ISP now. It's tricky to get a migration code out of them. You can be as polite as pie and they still sounded downright offended at such a request. They're simply not the same ISP that I signed up to.

Quote from Hankstar :

we get our local guys calling the race and that means no bloody James Allen shouting and twatting about all afternoon

I heard that. He's already rehearsed his lewis-hype soundbites in qualifying, twice, and I want him to shut up very much indeed

I'm a big sweary annoyed man who tries to help out the noobs, but ultimately gets crashed into. I DO want to see more racers in LFS, but without some sort of ranking system like in Papyrus N2003 it'll be pretty much carnage. Papy did a good job of dividing up all the crazy rednecks with that system. As it is now, there isnt enough racers online at any one time to justify spending time and effort on a ranking system.

Quote from The Moose :

Thats a good point...and as a sim it's so much better than GTR,GTR2 and R-factor, yet they, for some reason, get all the plaudits. It's a funny old world

Real cars and tracks hold a lot of sway with idiots.

Bob Smith - sort of. (hi)

Quote from The Moose :

I think it's because most LFS drivers are a bunch of big girls blouses and simply cant handle a real man's car.

I agree and it's not because I'm Cornish, it's cos I'm frustrated.

Nearly everyone who can't drive them ends up saying things like 'they aren't as much fun' or 'you can't have decent races with them'. No, YOU can't have decent races with them
